CREATORS CLUB: LIVERY DESIGNER: Typed text and more fonts this would really help reduce layers and allow for a more realistic effect than having out of place letters it also would make this a lot faster we also need more fonts for this reason CREATORS CLUB FOLLOWING SYSTEM: We should get the ability to follow our favourite creators and be notified when they upload or update their liveries this would also allow us to easily find people. Along with this it would be good to get the ability to review liveries either rate it on a scale of 5 stars or a like/dislike system this could be used to push the better liveries out to more people. LOGO SAVING: If we had the ability to make your own custom logo and then save it in livery designer you could copy your logo across multiple different trains without having to remake it every time for example I want to copy this logo from the 150 to the 387 this isn't really something I have seen as something people want however it would be extremely useful and well received by the community. BRUSH TOOL: It would be a really cool feature to get a brush tool added to livery designer so that you can smoothen out corners without having to use any layers (you would need to choose a colour yourself and brush size as well as strength) INTERIOR LIVERY DESIGNER: the interior designer is another thing I have not seen anyone ask for but would be very good for the community as it looks extremely unrealistic to have e.g a C2C 387 with a Gatwick express interior. This would be set out in a way where the train starts out empty but you can choose the seating layout 1+2, 2+2, 3+2, airline or table style seats e.t.c it would also give you an option to choose from a wide variety of seats DTG would model some plain seats that are most prevalent in trains e.g ironing board seats. Players would then be able to choose the materials used for the seat, the thickness of the padding of the seat e.t.c . Once that has been completed they can decorate the seats and the entire train with the same colours, shapes, letters, logos and so on this would take a long time to make and I wouldn't be surprised if this was released in TSW4 (I don't want TSW4 I would rather have just received an update to TSW3 but I do expect it will release so if this was part of TSW4 it would be a good selling point for them) LAYER COUNT: Just increase the layer cap so we can improve details on our liveries even 600 would be more than adequate RANDOMISED TRAIN NUMBERS: In livery designer I believe we should get this feature to improve realism with trains as when using reference images you can't see the full train and therefore can't always get the train number on the front but also the side at the same time so we should be able to get a feature where it generates all the correct train numbers based on one number being entered in a specific place. I think this feature should be set out in a way where you choose the first 3 numbers e.g 387,150,323,314 e.t.c e.t.c then choose a range of numbers to randomise the next 3 e.g for 387/2 you could choose 387/201(the first of the trains)-387/227(the last of the trains) This would also generate the correct carraige numbers and put them in the right place this option would allow for more realism because on routes that the trains run you can see multiple of the exact same train which can be fairly immersion breaking but it would also allow you to have the livery only apply to one train this should be added in such a way however that trains that would normally appear enroute should not also have that number effectively making it so that only ONE train in service mode can own a specific number OVERALL LIVERY DESIGNER BUG FIX: There are many bugs/issues I have with the livery designer and I will be using the class 387 as a model as that is something that seems to have the most issues. Shape distortion: This is something that tends to happen when you are moving a shape between sides e.g TOP-LEFT/RIGHT/FRONT or FRONT-LEFT/RIGHT/TOP for example this. It is something that I find extremely annoying when making liveries like why can't it just go round or sit at a certain point on a corner without changing shape and going blurry? this also often affects the size of a shape making it go really long and ruining the livery so please get it fixed. Small items going really pixelated: I'm not sure if its a memory issue but small logos and signs go really pixelated and you can't read it/tell what it's supposed to say so hopefully that can be fixed. 387 fix: Why can't you put a shape over the gangway connector the normal way (I know its possible but you should be able to put it on from the front rather than the side?) why is the orange line really blurry if I put it in the correct place (above the doors) so instead I have to do this: Which by the way is wrong. Trains with setback doors e.g 150/313/314 e.t.c if you put something on the front that is too wide it affects the doors too and it is really weird in general. A really good example of where this distortion is annoying is on trains like the 377 and 387 here: as you can see it is a it stretched and realistically it should be further over the left near the front of the train but if you move it any further it gets so horribly distorted it shouldn't be possible. Another bug this time with the 323: The orange line is bugged on one side, it goes slightly further than it should and looks blurry and pixelated in game. so please just fix Livery Designer. SERVICE MODE: something I find to be extremely annoying is my Liveries randomly appearing on routes that they shouldn't and it is rather Immersion breaking so I would love a setting to help combat this I have placed an example just below: Liveries in services off/on Livery only appears on your train off/on Livery appears on full train or just the front set* *e.g a 6 car 323 should the livery only appear on the front 3 cars or the full 6 cars Livery appears on every train off/on ROUTE EDITOR: This would by far be the biggest update and like I said before could be a new feature for TSW4 ,dread it ever happens, this would be an exact copy of the original from Train simulator and would feature assets from previous TSW3 routes and can be customised we could see a few new assets we could also make our very own assets using textures and colours already included as well added to this and would be a great way for DTG to test their new assets. Another thing is that this should also allow people to upload their routes to creators club. SCENARIO PLANNER: We should be able to use custom consists in scenario planner when it is set to off the rails mode so that we can put any train together e.g 66 + mk3 coaches + freight + a 323. We should get the option to choose any point on the map (as long as it's on a track) to spawn in. Make it easier to spawn in AI trains for scenarios by allowing the train to spawn at more specific times where you can just type the time rather than scroll through. We should also get the ability to couple to another train in scenarios and to be able to reverse out of stations so that you can go places like for example to Redditch from Bromsgrove in off the rails mode.
I would add the following to your first suggestion.... - a Bold option for all included text & numbers. - an outline option for all of the same. As for a selection of fonts I would only add the typical railway style fonts as the addition of a full range of font would likely be too large for practicality in the game system. Your second suggestion would be (IMO) an easy add-on and the most functional and welcomed addition that could be added at this time. I had suggested the same thing on multiple occasions since upgrading to TSW3 in Sept. I was actually quite surprised this was not already an available feature.
Both are amazing suggestions and I completely agree with them! They are all amazing things that should be added to the game and would be very useful for the community!
Thing is c2c did have some GX 387’s for a bit along with gwr so it is technically realistic but I do get your point
I believe it was actually the other way round where GWR had C2C trains and Great northern got some they also got GX 387's
I also want logo saving, but not only for logos but also for other stuff like the lettering, markings etc. so we don't need to repeat them every time.
yes totally ok now i'm making a list for the scenario planner yes totally ok now i'm making a list for the scenario planner the first thing I will see is a editor of composition of train you can create your own composition so the second thing I will see is portal activate each portal can hold up to 10 trains the third thing i want to see is a rework of how the scenario planner works with trails that can go almost anywhere on the map the 4th thing I see is a back and forth mode also for AI trains and the last thing that dtg must rework it is the maximum number of trains that can be added in a scenario I propose that dtg pass the maximum number to 60 trains
Definetely a sound update for the Taurus. It really disgusts me at how DTG would miss on this opportunity. The Taurus is a very beautiful train and needs to get a sound update.
Wait for a new version of the taurus lol. Unless they've gone out and recorded an actual taurus, they can't really do anything.
I think that the ability to type out text to add to your train is a must need for the livery designer. Manually applying each letter and aligning them perfectly can be a burden, and can also sort of downgrade the true to life feel of the livery if the letters are irregular, wonky etc. typing out letters will be so much better and improve the overall true to life feeling on the livery
I would also ask for a new feature in creators club to allow search/filter creators so it can make it easier to find all the liveries made by that creator Also make it easier to filter locomotive so we can find specific ones easily it would be nice to have the option to follow any creator that we want so we can get notified when they upload Playground mode is a mode I would like to see. It would help the community their favorite routes? Two other own timetable and their own locomotive Walk on foot would be the standard in playground mode it would be like an extension to scenario planner I would like to see more free roamable experiences in TSW 3 similar to like the training center made by DTG we're by a third party from the partner program
