    Most of what's listed in all posts above.

    Features that appear in one route but not another later released route, i.e. Bridge/Tunnel reverb, Neutral Sections and track shadow distance

    That DTG, and all of it's third party content creators, can't be bothered to add the proper number of paths to their routes meaning that whole swathes of a route cannot be accessed. This may sound like a big thing but, trust me, it takes just 1 minute to create 1 new path.

    Have you? I may have to try it again then and hope it's been fixed. I didn't speed or fall short of stop markers on my last attempt.

    Me too, I forget how to cold start some of the German trains if I haven’t drove them in a while. Training modules refresh the ole memory :)

    Great points and i agree will all those. The 802 issues are a big bugbear of mine.

    You should not have to do that. There is a setting to auto enable all.

    Some really great points in here and i agree with almost all.

    Do not know why, but the little things wind me up much more than the big things!!

    I agree with alot of the things you peeps have mentioned.

    One of the things I find frustrating is when they add something to the game, wether it be a new graphics effect or some feature that is meant to be fun or practical, they don't seem to get it fully working properly.

    As people above have mentioned, working level crossings is an example. Good idea and when they work they are neat but it seems as often as not cars ignore the gates and drive right through them and through your train. Track Monitor is another, a great feature when it works properly but it frequently doesn't show all the speed changes so you can't really trust it.

    There are so many things like this, good ideas but for whatever reason they stop short of making them fully functional and are left as they are.

    Don't worry, they'll never know - they can't read.

    AI trains driving through the buffers on sidings due to poor track/marker placement.

    The fact is that I can't sort services by duration, and I have to scroll through the depot movements and other "fascinating" tasks lasting 00:03 - 00:05 for several minutes.
    And of course, nights that falls an hour earlier, as DTG is unable to adjust ingame configs for the daylight saving time.

    The 802 does have some cab light issues too. If you turn on the downlighters they appear on and cast light but after a few minutes these lights appear off but are still casting light.

    Yes, both have lighting issues.

    The 220 internal lights not illuminating anything and the AWS sunflower not illuminating either, is very annoying indeed and really should not be a hard fix, as it works for basically ever other train in the game!!

    Bit like the broken DRA on the 802 (and also 805 apparently!).

    I quite dislike the Tags when hovering over ai trains when in map view.. not everyone knows the service numbers and wish they would put the train type (ie 390 or 378 etc) on the tag as well
