    hey dtg what pans going forward for track shadows that you added in tsw5 as feature. is there plans to apply that to other routes?
    also since the Caltrain routes will be remove from store maybe good idea to make UP gp38-2 pack for Sherman hill.

    They always have plans to want to backport but it's also not a 5 minute job so when there's 100+ dlc, is not sustainable or realistic for all of them to have it. Very expensive and takes a lot of dev time

    Seems to be something they'll apply sporadically. Obviously they won't do all routes at once and I wouldn't expect them to waste their resources doing so, but I'd imagine when a route receives an update or is remastered they'd add them.

    Considering the new lighting system is also not implemented on every single route, same applies here. Plus, dtg have said it numerous times since tsw came out and in numerous roadmap streams. They always say they want to bring a feature to older routes, but that's not always possible because it takes a lot of dev time. Common sense really. It's not a 5 minute job at the end of the day. Look at all the other tsw5 specific features that are not on older routes.
