Train Sim World® 6 News

[h2]Introducing: High Iron Simulations[/h2][p][/p][p]High Iron Simulations have been a Partner developer for Train Simulator Classic since 2016, producing a variety of TSC products ranging from scenario and locomotive packs to routes. This is their first release for Train Sim World.[/p][p][/p][p]Their team represents an experienced group of developers including Michael Stephan, Rick Grout, Cesar “Mannu” Pach, Ricardo "Reppo" Rivera, Jonathan Lewis, Martin Velozo and Gary Dolzall.[/p][p][/p][p]In May 2024, we announced their intentions to develop a Santa Fe themed Gameplay Pack, with gradual updates coming over the course of subsequent months.[/p][p][/p][p]High Iron Simulations also has a U.S. freight route and a Locomotive Pack in active development, and additional products in planning.[/p][p][/p][h2]The Setting: Cajon Pass, early 1990s[/h2][p][/p][p]Cast your mind back to Californian railroading of the 1990s and picture the scene; the former ATSF, known simply as Santa Fe, was one of the most prominent Class 1 Railroads of the United States. Since its inception in 1859, Santa Fe had amassed over 13000 route miles and was the operator of some of the most famous trains in the US, as well as of course, a vast freight network.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]In this Add-on for Train Sim World 6, the lavish colors of the ATSF repopulate the rugged Cajon Pass route, recreating the experience of the early 1990s - the final years of Santa Fe operations. Embark on a variety of duties with 2 classic examples of ATSF equipment; the C40-8W and SD40-2, in iconic Warbonnet and freight liveries.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Utilizing a new trio of freight cars from ATSF’s roster, as well as contemporary variations of existing equipment, get to work hauling locals, switching in yards and running mainline manifests, as well as hefty intermodals across an all-new timetable based on real Santa Fe schedules, and 5 new scenarios.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Scheduled services will include player-drivable services featuring mainline intermodal and freight trains, switching, and locals. The services are closely based on actual Santa Fe freight schedules and horsepower assignments of the era and include more than 250 train movements per 24-hour period.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Additionally, Union Pacific freight movements across Cajon Pass will be represented in an extra layer using UP equipment from the Sherman Hill route Add-on.[/p][p][/p][h2]SD40-2[/h2][h3]AT&SF blue-and-yellow freight livery[/h3][p][/p][p]The SD40-2 is an all-American hero which is nationwide-renowned for its yesteryear mainline service. Now considered a veteran, the SD40-2 is kept to secondary duties in charge of local working and switching in yards and industries. This turbocharged, 3,000-horsepower six-axle locomotive was part of the heart and soul of the Electro-Motive Dash 2 line, along with other locomotives types like the GP38-2, seen in other Train Sim World Add-ons.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Santa Fe-specific details have been modeled on this rebuilt variant of the SD40-2, including the distinctive inset lower headlight. The inclusion of Union Pacific layers for players of Sherman Hill adds even more SD40-20 action![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Anyone new to the SD40-2 can get familiar with the controls of an unbranded version in Train Sim World 6's Training Center.[/p][p][/p][h2]C40-8W[/h2][h3]Warbonnet red-and-silver livery[/h3][p]
General Electric’s C40-8W (also commonly known as the Dash 8-40CW) was produced at GE’s Erie, Pennsylvania plant from 1989 through 1994. GE constructed 847 of the 4,000-horsepower, six-axle (C-C) diesels powered by the builder’s capable 7FDL16 four-cycle power plant. An evolutionary refinement of GE’s advanced line of diesels begun with the “Dash 7” series, the C40-8W is visually notable for its use of the stylish “North American Cab.”[/p][p][/p][p]Previously a CSX version of this locomotive was released as a separate Add-on for the Sand Patch Grade route.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Like the SD40-2, specific Santa Fe features have been modeled on this variant for the Santa Fe Gameplay Pack, such as the unique “gull wing” cab.[/p][p][/p][p]There will be a new tutorial to play guiding players through the controls of the C40-8W as part of this Add-on.[/p][p][/p][h3]Wagons and Freight Cars[/h3][p][/p][p]The pack also features three entirely new AT&SF freight cars and three existing TSW freight cars repainted in Santa Fe liveries.[/p][p]The new items of rolling stock are:[/p]

• [p]Santa Fe two-bay cement covered hopper[/p]
• [p]Santa Fe three-bay ribbed-side covered hopper[/p]
• [p]86-foot auto parts boxcar[/p]

[p]Train Sim World 6: Santa Fe on Cajon Pass will release on 13th November for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Epic Games Store, and Steam for $17.99/£14.99/€17.99[/p][p]Please note that Santa Fe on Cajon Pass will be released on PC and 9th Gen Console platforms only.[/p][p][/p][h2]The Route: Cajon Pass[/h2][p][/p][p]The Cajon Pass route Add-on is required to make use of the gameplay in the Santa Fe Add-on. The standard route and schedule is set in the early 2000s, featuring the bold livery of BNSF.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]85-miles (136 km) of route between Barstow and San Bernardino, California offer stunning scenery and challenging gradients for long freight consists. Unlike the Santa Fe pack, the Cajon Pass Add-on features the state-of-the-art ES44C4 diesel electric locomotive in addition to the BNSF variant of the SD40-2.[/p][p]Players of passenger-focused California route Add-ons San Bernardino Line and Antelope Valley Line can expand their operations with both layered services and Route Hopping with the Cajon Pass Add-on.[/p][p][/p][h2]Train Sim World 6: Out Now[/h2][h3]Free Starter Pack available until 11th November 2025[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]You can still upgrade to Train Sim World 6 via the Train Sim World: Free Starter Pack, which is available to download to your collection permanently until 11th November 2025.[/p][p][/p][p]Whilst this won't grant you any new routes or trains, it will allow you to then purchase the Santa Fe on Cajon Pass Add-on, for use on the Cajon Pass route (if you own it).[/p][p][/p][p]Find out more about Train Sim World 6 by following @trainsimworld on Twitter/X, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok.[/p][p] [/p]

[p]Hello everyone,[/p][p]We’ve just released our first Train Sim World 6 route, All Aboard Studios’ WCML: Birmingham-Crewe route, and we hope that you’re enjoying some of the detailed scenery and gameplay options for the team’s first TSW release.[/p][p]We are aware of feedback from our communities experiencing some issues, and we wanted to take some time to run through how we’ll be addressing them, workarounds you can use in the meantime to be able to enjoy the route, and next steps for when you can expect improvements.[/p][p]As a note, all versions of the add-on are up to date as we’re expecting, so please make sure you’ve checked your download queue for any updates since launch – we’ve only pushed additional builds on PlayStation so far, around 11:00 BST on Oct 21st.[/p][p][/p][h2]Top Community Raised Issues[/h2]

• [p]Performance Issues and Blurry Textures (Console)
  The team have prepared some optimisations, which will come in a priority hotfix for the route, aiming to release next week. More details below.
  
  Workaround: For Xbox players experiencing crashes at Crewe, we recommend that you play in HD rather than 4k mode (you can adjust this in your console’s settings) – you can also remove the Class 150 layer and the LSL static layer to help with memory, as we believe these might be causing some of the issues.[/p]
• [p]Out of memory crashes heading into Crewe
  We are aiming to resolve this in the Birmingham-Crewe hotfix (details below).[/p]
• [p]Lack of access to Voyager layers
  We are aiming to resolve this in the Birmingham-Crewe hotfix (details below).[/p]
• [p]Class 350 tutorial crashes (Consoles)
  The team are currently investigating this.[/p]
• [p]Destination boards showing Wolverhampton as the destination
  The team are currently investigating this.[/p]
• [p]Timetables incorrect or showing no times
  The team are currently investigating this.[/p]
• [p]Audio missing on Introduction/Training modules, and subtitles not being translated
  The team are currently investigating this.[/p]
• [p]Class 390 cab facing the wrong way
  The team are currently investigating this.[/p]
• [p]Some issues with objectives not completing as expected
  The team are currently investigating this.[/p]
• [p]Nvidia GeForce NOW – Unavailable to download Birmingham-Crewe
  The team are currently investigating this.[/p]

[p]Please check out our Birmingham Crewe launch article, where we listed some of the known issues that the team are also working on (Announcements, ‘Contingency Measures’ and ‘Unit Exchange’ scenarios).[/p][p][/p][h2]Update Plan[/h2][h3]Next Week (~Mon/Tues) – Birmingham-Crewe Hotfix[/h3][p]Micro patch to improve crashing at Crewe, reduce texture blurriness, layering issues and implement Train Faults. This patch should be arriving next week for all platforms, with consoles (Xbox S/X and PS5) coming first, and PC (Steam / Epic Games) platforms being folded into the TSW6 Core Update #3 patch later during the week.[/p][p]Changelog for Birmingham Crewe Hotfix[/p]

• [p]Added Train Faults[/p]
• [p]Improved optimisation at Crewe to reduce crashes and minimise texture blurring[/p]
  • [p]This improvement may also help reduce crashes for scenarios starting in Crewe, but our teams are still reviewing[/p]
• [p]Fixed issues with ex-LM liveries causing texture blurring on consoles[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where layer requirements were incorrectly set (preventing some players using those layers – notably for the Class 220)[/p]
• [p]Removed floating scenery on the approach to Stafford from Birmingham[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Next Week (~Wed/Thurs) – TSW6 Core Update #3[/h3][p]This patch will contain core fixes for TSW6 that our teams have been working on since our last update. [/p][p]As a note, it’s too late for us in the certification process to include further fixes for Birmingham Crewe on this update; these will be included in the following TSW6 Core Update #4 patch. See our highlights for this update below:[/p][p]Highlights from TSW6 Core Update #3[/p]

• [p]Core - PS4 players can import profiles from TSW5 as expected.[/p]
• [p]Riviera Line - Added missing coaches to Formation Designer and reduced frequency of 150/220 diesel engine faults.[/p]
• [p]Morristown Line - Fixed an issue causing announcements to stop playing[/p]
• [p]Leipzig Dresden – Fixes to 442 passenger lighting, assets loading in the distance, paint can collectables and 294 wiper faults.[/p]
• [p]Manchester Airport Commuter - Added Train Faults and improvements to route scenery, including lighting, OHLE wires and additional barriers/ticket machines.[/p]

[p]Full details of the changes will be shared alongside the update next week.[/p][p][/p][h3]First Week of November – TSW6 Core Update #4[/h3][p]Our next scheduled core update, which will contain further core improvements from feedback following TSW6’s release, and a wider range of improvements for the Birmingham-Crewe route.[/p][p]Please note: Dates and timings above are aspirational and any changes will be communicated across our spaces in advance.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope this clarity helps you understand the timeline of when you can expect improvements, and our goals for how we ensure the content is the best experience possible.[/p][p]We have been working with the All Aboard Studios team to resolve as many of the above quickly, collecting your feedback and folding these into our plan above - we thank you for your patience and understanding, and we hope you continue to enjoy the route whilst we bring you these updates.[/p]
