    Yesterday I drove on SEHS class 465 1E95 19:08, using yesterday's date.
    While waiting to depart, a white light crossed in front of me from left to right. External camera didn't pick it up, only from the cab. I set off and for the first say, quarter, of the journey a series of white lights crossed in various directions and at different speeds. I think one broke up into four separate lights.
    I wonder what these are. Could they be aircraft, meteors, aliens (!). I did wonder if they're reflections in the driver's window but seeing as they also happened whilst stationary that would appear to disprove that.
    I ran the first part again straight afterwards and there they were again, although maybe different in quantity but I put that down to me being slightly out with my timing compared to the first run. The first time I was so distracted by them that I missed by braking points a few times! Step 4 time!! :o
    If anyone fancies trying it themselves, help prove that I'm not going mad or been on too much sherbert :)

    sometimes when the rain is imminent, the lighting in the game tends to go bonkers as if there was a nuclear attack some distance away :D

    I had it set to clear, non-dynamic weather.

    Well, after the recent eclipse, I wonder if someone at DTG is into astronomy :)

    I see what you mean. It's headlight reflections on the windscreen from the 465 next to you. These reflections appearing on the inside of the cab are a core issue with how these lights are not blocked by the cab itself. (Like the cloud band reflections which are completely unrealistic)

    TSW and reflections. Don't ask, don't tell!

    Yes exactly...these other train's headlight reflections have been there at least since TSW2, nothing new.

    37, one of the most intriguing numbers out there. It's the most named number next to 73 when people are asked to give a random number between 1 and 100.

    Have I mentioned I do love the Class 37?

    Ray tracing would be pointless without upscaling technology unless you're fine playing a slideshow. It's also a ton of work to implement
