ROADMAP TO 0.8
Crash fixes and important fixes
Since RW Enhancer 2 just launched, there is some important issues to fix ! We have already released numerous updates for fixing first reported bugs and we will continue to do so.
German and French interface localisation
We will add German and French localisation support to the RW Enhancer 2 UI.
Male/Female voice selection setting for PIS announcements
We will add an option to choose between male/female voices for the PIS systems.
Male/Female voice selection setting for radio
We will add an option to choose between male/female/random voices for the radio system.
Weather infos for scenario selection
Weather infos will be displayed when selecting a scenario in the “drive” menu. This will require a full cooking (reset) when added.
HUD 'Track Monitor' customization settings
Customization settings will be added for the HUD track monitor.
HUD 'Current Speed Limit' widget
A new widget will be added to the HUD that will display the current speed limit for the users that don't want to display the speedometer but would want to know the current speed limit anyway.
Onboard PIS speaker audio DSP effect
An audio DSP effect will be added on onboard PIS voices in order to increase realism of the announcements.
Stations ambient sound effects
A new sound effect layer will be added for big train stations. With some variation according to major countries supported by RWE 2 yet. (France, Germany, England…)
British PIS improvements
Thanks to the community support, we will add more realistic onboard & station PIS messages reflecting more the reality of British PIS systems.
German PIS improvements
Thanks to the community support, we will add more realistic onboard & station PIS messages reflecting more the reality of German PIS systems.
PIS company name / train type support
We will add a system so the player can add a custom company or train type name so the PIS systems could be more advanced.
Scenarios completion state icons
Some icons will be added in the drive menu to tell when a scenario has been completed or not with RW Enhancer 2.
Scenarios specific markers reading support
The TS content cooker system will be able to read scenario custom markers data so more scenarios can be completed by using RW Enhancer 2.
More precise markers position detection system
The route markers positional data will be calculated much more precisely. This should fix task completion detection issue with scenarios that involve shunting for example.
Percent/Permille gradient display option
A new setting will be added so the users can choose between percent or permille for gradient infos on the HUD.
Routes search improvements
Some improvements will be made so we can search routes by station name for example.
Consist editor improvements and fixes
The consist editor will receive some fixes and some improvements to make it more user friendly and powerful. AI consists definition support will be added.
PIS custom/user jingle sounds support
We will add the ability for the user to specify custom jingle sounds for the PIS systems (onboard and station PIS). Users will be able to specify sounds per supported countries (different sound for Germany, France, UK…)
Consists created with TS consist editor loading support in RW Enhancer 2
We will add loading support of the consists created with the TS consist editor so those consist will be displayed and could be selected in RW Enhancer 2.
RWE 2 window position/size restoration support
RW Enhancer 2 will remember the main window position and size when starting the software instead of always maximizing the window automatically.
Windowed display mode support
We will add the windowed TS display mode support so RW Enhancer 2 can work nicely with this configuration.
British/American accents support for PIS announcements with SAPI
British and American accent support will be added when using SAPI as the speech engine for PIS announcements. (This feature is already supported when using 'Azure' speech engine)
Shaders presets import/export
Like RW Enhancer PRO, we are working on a system to import/export shaders presets. Presets from RW Enhancer PRO will be compatible.
Content cooking system refactoring
One of the top priority issue is the cooking process (that need to be done at each launch of RW Enhancer 2 can take a long time if you own many Train Simulator Content).
We are currently refactoring the whole cooking system so it would be much faster by recooking only the content that has been added/modified since the last cooking.
Fullscreen display mode support
We will add fullscreen display mode support (and Nvidia DSR and AMD equivalent support) in RWE 2.
Use legacy Train Simulator shaders option
We are planning to add a setting to use the base TS shaders instead of RW Enhancer 2 ones.
