So many game /sim developers don't have a clue from the first release, and never address much in the way of problems. This sim is by far IMHO the best of them. There aren't any breaking problems that prevent the player from enjoying the sim. I'm loving this game/sim, it's amazing what they already achieved...it's very polished and complete already, where many developers just push out crap and never fix anything. I'm impressed with TWS5 overall. It's great that they are tweaking an addressing bugs and performance issues. BTW, great content...love your videos, you have taught someone here that knows nothing about trains...a few tricks. One of the trains have no tutorial in game, and you showed me how to get the loco moving...thanks again!
They need to fix the timetable on WCML for the class 710. (Overground). It actually runs every 15 minutes but in the game it runs every 45 to 50 minutes. Hopefully that may be fixed before TSW6 is released🤣
in the artical (as i go thro on my vid) they do say they are going to make timetable improvments so hopefully we will see it fixed then (the timetable being less as nothing ta do with older gen consoles not being able to cope as they would normally get a downgraded version of a timetable then pc and nxt gen consoles)
What I find really annoying is the scenario planner paths are just silly, first of all you get some good paths but they don't do what you want them to do (like on WCML all the Wembley Sidings only go to Wembley Ctrl), then they don't have them go back again (there is only one siding available to go into from Wembley Ctrl) then you get obvious ones like why is there no Queen's Park Platform 3 - Harrow & Wealdstone Siding path, there is no way to get into any siding or depot (minus in Euston), all the paths out of Bletchley just end at either Platforms 5 or 6 then can't go anywhere else again, and its just like why. How are you supposed to create anything? You can't turn a train around at Milton Keynes on the fast line. I get that they wouldn't actually do that, but we need to be able to turn trains around. You get this at Dartford too, and Eastbourne. Every single path that goes into Euston uses 1 single track between the Camden Sidings and the station itself, meaning they lock each other into Euston. They do this at Glasgow Central too. And St Pancras. And Paddington. Other routes are much worse but this WCML is bad simply because they were already halfway there. As a person who spends most of their time trying to make timetables and spotting off of scenario planner this is so infuriating. I feel so limited. I shouldn't have these limitations. My timetable on scenario planner for WCML could have been so good, but things just let it down. So many extra paths needed for all the routes, and they can't be that hard to add ok rant over
Thanks for another informative video and for your previous help you gave me. I wonder if you’ve heard of this problem I’m having with the left control stick on my ps5 not working at times. I’m on the scenario Rescue at the Ranch (Los Angels-San Bernardino) I’m about to change ends of the train but I can’t shut the cab down as the left stick will not work, I’m also having this problem in some Cajon Pass Scenario’s. Do you think it’s a bug in game or am I as new player doing something wrong. Many thanks.
In scenarios the controls are often locked by the scenario to get you to move on to the next thing they want you to do and only that control is unlocked. This could be what is going on, but if you're expecting to use that control because its got an indicator on it then you should be able to. I've not experienced anything like that and I have the game on PS4, XSS and XSX. Have you got another controller you can try just to see if its that particular controller?
@@stephenrobbins2038 left stick drift is a fairly common problem with controllers (both major console platforms) for whatever reason they drift when they're not being moved. Tends to happen more as the controllers age. I've had it happen on cheap and expensive controllers and it seems to happen to a lot of people sadly.
its not just ppl on older consoles, even my pc is having trouble so its not about updating, (bit rude to coz not everyone can afford to update there consoles) the performace is bad accross the bored, also where fif ya get the date for October 24 for the patch as there was no date giving and just said soon??
October 2024 :) - I'll update the title to avoid setting a false expectation. Performance is totally dependent on your machine. If you're at minimum specs the game will run but the experience won't be great. The higher you go the better your performance will be. Watch my streams, I get the odd stutter but no performance dramas sitting on my target of fixed 60-fps just about continuously. My machine will usually run around 125 if I let it but that is no good for streaming as I push out at 60fps so it would drop frames and be jerky when you watch. I also get that not everyone can afford to upgrade their PC or Gen8 but regardless of your financial situation you can't expect miracles on hardware that old. You just can't. I really don't care how much it upsets people because its just physics.
@@trainsimulatordriver cheers ya gave me a heart attack as i thought i missed something and would hav to re do my own video lol, my pc is medium to high specs but i have to keep changing the settings depending on the route and sometimes part of a route wcml as gotten worse as it goes along, oh i get that and im not suggesting they look for miracles my issue was you telling ppl to upgrade when its impossable for some ta do (tbh i don't think any game should be coming out on old gen consoles anymore) thanxs for taking the time to reply
Personally I think consoles and PC should have separate games . AS for last gen just stop making games for them. There is so many affordable deals out there for the current gens of consoles . And I stay in a third world countrie and we can afford them here
I think that will come. More and more titles are dumping gen 8. I don't see separate games for console vs PC though - separate builds sure (they are now) but they're off the same core. It would cost too much to do anything else and most of the sales are on console.
Much needed! Glad to see DTG trying to fix problems!
I have some things that I want that were not in the list - we shall see if they turn up :)

that is deliberate so gen8 consoles don't catch fire and burn people's houses down

@@trainsimulatordriver It could be the dredded left stick drift. Hopefully not.
@@trainsimulatordriver Thanks for the speedy reply. No, I don’t have another controller also what’s the left stick drift?
@@stevehornsby7727 it is possible, but the OP suggests they cannot move the cursor with their stick - could still be related though
