Hello @Dirtalot, I need to aquire/borrow a streamdeck to check this, will contact you by PM for more details once I have one for testing this.

La mise à jour 0.8.15.0 est maintenant disponible ! Cette mise à jour ajoute des corrections et des améliorations de stabilisation à RW Enhancer 2. De nombreuses améliorations et corrections ont été apportées à l'algorithme de génération des noms de gares. Grâce à ces améliorations, les différents systèmes PIS devraient avoir moins de mal à prononcer certains noms de gares (en particulier pour le Royaume-Uni). D'autres améliorations et corrections pour les noms de gares sont à venir (pour le Royaume-Uni et d'autres pays). Si vous souhaitez en savoir plus sur le fonctionnement de l'algorithme de génération des noms de gares, vous pouvez lire cet article (en anglais) : https://www.rwcentral.com/topic/2336-future-enhancements/#comment-27600 La prochaine mise à jour devrait apporter des améliorations de réalisme aux systèmes PIS allemands. Merci pour votre soutien continu et à bientôt ! CHANGELOG:

Update 0.8.15.0 is now available ! This update is adding more fixes and stabilization improvements to RW Enhancer 2. A lot of improvements and fixes has been done to the station names generation algorithm. Because of those improvements, the various PIS systems should have less struggle to pronounce some station names (especially for UK). More improvements and fixes for station names are coming in the future (for UK and other countries). If you would like to know more about how the station names generation algorithm works you can read this post: https://www.rwcentral.com/topic/2336-future-enhancements/#comment-27600 The next update should bring some realism improvements to the German PIS systems. Thank you for your continued support and see you soon ! CHANGELOG:

Thank you for the feedback @Loufreisfreeway, just one remark, a lot of your screenshot are showing the quickdrive "stop names" and these are not used by the PIS system, the station names that are used by the various PIS systems can be viewed in the "Content Explorer" -> "Routes" subsection. Like on this screenshot: These are the proper station names that are used by the various PIS systems of RW Enhancer 2. I have made various improvements and fixes for the next update (that should be released tomorrow), especially for UK/US stations. More work will be done on this subject in future updates. The RWE 2 system that generate the station names is a bit complex, it need to "guess" the station name from the various platform marker names of the routes as there is no concept of proper station names in Train Simulator. For example if RWE 2 is detecting a "Liverpool St platform 1a" platform marker name. RWE 2 will try to process it by using various more or less complex algorithms and the "Liverpool Street" station name will be generated from it. Before the next update, the generated station name would have been "Liverpool st" but with the update it will be "Liverpool Street". Another example would be the "Exeter st Davids" station of the riviera line route. With the next update the generated station name will be "Exeter Saint Davids" so the station name will be pronounced right by the PIS systems ("Saint Davids" can be heard instead of "Street Davids"). The generation algorithm is now capable of correctly detecting (most of the time) if "Street" or "Saint" should be used. This is something I need to "fix" in the future. It's spoken by the PIS without the "London" because there is no "london" written in the route platform markers names. So I need to upgrade the station generation system to handle such case and add the "London" suffix when such case is encountered.

One thing that could be done is a fake 2D fast flashing effect on the screen when in external view, the screen could flash in white very briefly with a fast smooth fadeout effect when there is a thunder strike (with simulated speed of sound so that you see the flash before hearing the thunder strike if the thunder source if far enough). Don't know what you think of this but it can add a nice cinematic effect... I may add this on my todolist Next things that will come soon is some improvements/fixes to the audio core engine, more realistic German PIS, adjustable volume setting for each audio effect layers and a new "station ambiance" audio effect for simulating various stations noises (passenger discussion, luggage's noises...).

Oh alright I see. Can't promise anything on this because of TS scripting/modding limitations. Regarding PIS station name mispronunciation issues, I have made quite a bunch of fixes today. This should fix most saint/street mispronunciation (along some other issues) for most stations (not all of them but at least 3/4). The fix will be available in the next update that should come this week

Hello @Scip, Yes sometimes the fullscreen mode is not supported on some computers. The way RWE 2 displays the HUD is quite tricky to tweak. Have you tried the "Fullscreen borderless" mode in TS settings ? It should definitely work and it makes TS a bit more stable than using the raw fullscreen mode.

Hello, - For passengers "chatter" sound yes this is something I would like to add in the near future. If someone from RWE 2 community is able to record such sound that would greatly help me to add this sooner - Regarding the "St" pronunciation it is a bit tricky right now as the system is trying to know if the "St" means "Saint" or "Street". I need to add another layer to this system to handle this with hardcoded names for some stations. Will contact you soon to get some information about the "Birmingham New Street" issue so I can add the fix for this station and any other station you might encounter. - "In stormy mode the addition of sheet lightning flashes." I don't fully understand what you want here, could you elaborate more ? - And for the green bar, will see what I can do for this. Thank you for your feedback

La mise à jour 0.8.14.0 est désormais disponible. Cette mise à jour ajoute le filtrage "Provider/Product" pour les composition de train dans l'explorateur de contenu, quelques améliorations mineures des performances et des correctifs pour le moteur de rendu Vulkan et le moteur vocal Azure. La mise à jour contient également quelques améliorations et corrections mineures dans les systèmes centraux du logiciel. A bientôt pour une nouvelle mise à jour et merci de soutenir RW Enhancer 2. CHANGELOG:

Update 0.8.14.0 is now available. This update is adding "provider/product" filtering for consists in the content explorer, some minor performance improvements and fixes to the Vulkan renderer and Azure speech engine. The update also contains some minor improvements and fixes in the core systems of the software. See you soon for another update and thank you for supporting RW Enhancer 2 CHANGELOG:

Hello @lunagoth666, This is typically caused by anti-virus softwares, when RW Enhancer 2 is updated, some files are changed and then some anti-virus software no longer trust RWE 2 executable and other changed files for a short period of time. (usually a few days) So the communication process between RWE 2 and Train Simulator can be blocked by the anti-virus. You have two solutions: - Wait for a few days and this issue will be automatically fixed by your anti-virus provider updates. - Or go to your anti-virus settings and set an exclusion rule for both RWE 2 and Train Simulator install directories.

La mise à jour 0.8.13.0 est maintenant disponible Cette mise à jour est principalement une mise à jour de maintenance avec des optimisations mineures et des corrections de bugs. Cependant, cette mise à jour ajoute un changement utile. Vous pouvez maintenant accéder au menu " Paramètres " sans avoir à lancer le processus de "cooking" du contenu de Train Simulator au préalable. Ainsi, vous pouvez par exemple modifier certains paramètres de shaders sans attendre la fin du processus de cooking si vous souhaitez ajuster rapidement certains paramètres de shaders ou de TS sans utiliser les fonctionnalités de gameplay de RW Enhancer 2. Rendez-vous le mois prochain pour des mises à jour plus importantes et merci à tous les nouveaux utilisateurs premium. Votre soutien est très important pour que le développement de RW Enhancer 2 se poursuive. CHANGELOG:

Update 0.8.13.0 is now available This update is mainly a maintenance update with minor optimizations and bug fixes. However this update is adding an useful change. You can now access the "Settings" menu without cooking Train Simulator content first. So you can now for example change some shaders settings without waiting for the cooking process to be finished if you want to quickly adjust some shaders or TS settings without using RW Enhancer 2 gameplay features. See you next month for bigger updates and thank you to all new premium users. Your support is very important in order to keep RW Enhancer 2 development going on CHANGELOG:

Hello @Reef, The next update will include the ability to go to the "Settings" menu without any cooking needed. The update is currently in testing phase and this update should be available at the end of this week Thank you for your patience.

Bonjour Loud06, en effet l'été est toujours beaucoup plus calme pour moi niveau développement, je m'occupe principalement du site pour le préparer à l'année à venir (performances des serveurs, nouvelle section dédiée à Simrail...), mais cela ne m'empêche pas de travailler à allure réduite sur RW Enhancer 2, une mise à jour de maintenance arrivera d'ailleurs dans les jours à venir, et les mise à jour plus substantielles reprendront dès la rentrée en Septembre

Thank you for the feedback, will take a look a this soon.

Hello @Dirtalot, try to launch streamdeck software in administrator mode and it should work. (right click on stream deck shortcut > then click on "Run as administrator") When playing with RW Enhancer 2, you need to launch any external input softwares with the administrator mode

Hello, yes of course, i'm currently working on the future scripting system which is a big task, that's why it is taking more time than usual. I'm also taking my vacation during summer and that's why there is usually less things happening in this period. A new maintenance update for RWE 2 will be released soon and more interesting updates will be released starting from early September

That would be a good thing to have yes. Added it on my todolist. July and August will be mostly calm in terms of updates while i'm working on the foundations of scripting/modding system. Bigger updates will resume in September. But I might add this before that

Hello, Can't reproduce this issue on my side even with the latest version of Train Simulator, by experience, this kind of issue is mostly caused by anti-virus softwares, please try to add an "exclusion" rule for both RWE and TS in your anti-virus settings. Anti virus software can cause some freezing issue when TS is communicating some data to RW Enhancer. This is the only potential source of freezing issue identified so far and having some exclusion rules for both TS and RWE is fixing this problem. When an update is released for TS or RW Enhancer (and so the files signatures are changed), the anti-virus softwares tend to no longer fully trust the programs for a short period of time. (some days or a few weeks at most) So you can tweak parameters of your anti-virus like described above or wait a little bit and this issue should be gone.

Hello @Asub4561, Are you using a special type of keyboard ? Are you using the 1, 2, 3... keys to change your camera or are you using the base TS HUD in order to switch the camera viewpoint ? In RWE 2 you need to use the keys so RWE 2 can detect the camera changes correctly.

Hello @Reef, This is something I would like to implement but this is a tricky thing. I can't promise if or when it will be integrated but this is on my todo list.

La mise à jour 0.8.12.0 est maintenant disponible Cette mise à jour ajoute un nouveau bouton qui permet de cacher la fenêtre "Simulation Paused" pour les utilisateurs qui souhaiteraient faire des captures d'écran en utilisant la touche "Pause" du clavier. La mise à jour met également à jour le moteur de rendu Vulkan afin d'inclure les dernières améliorations de stabilité et les correctifs de la dernière version stable de DXVK publiée il y a quelques jours. Il y a également diverses améliorations de stabilité et des correctifs apportés dans les systèmes centraux du logiciel. Merci pour votre soutien et à bientôt pour une nouvelle mise à jour ! CHANGELOG:

Update 0.8.12.0 is now available This update is adding a new button that can hide the "Simulation Paused" window for users that would like to take some screenshots by using the "Pause" keyboard key. The update is also updating the Vulkan renderer in order to include the latest stability improvements and fixes of the latest stable version of DXVK released a few days ago. There is also various stability improvements and fixes made in core systems of the software. Thank you for your support and see you soon for another update ! CHANGELOG:

Hello @LesRoss87259, 1- The vulkan renderer of RWE 2 is based on DXVK just with minor tweaks, it should by almost identical in terms of performance. The main benefit is that it is very easy to enable/disable the vulkan renderer with RWE 2 interface and that it is updated regularly. 2- No RW Enhancer 2 offer the same performances compared to RW Enhancer PRO. The additional effects of RWE 2 are very lightweight in terms of performance impact (less than 1 FPS impact for most GPU's). Regards
