Can this be modded or fixed with mods?

It would have to be a global mod. Meaning custom events and station/platforms (modders would have to add the events to there projects as well). I wouldn’t say it’s impossible but so far no one in the community has shown there capable to that extent. Maybe down the road when we get more mod-support/tools from the dev’s.

I hope they fix it because it’s really poor quality to leave something so simple yet so stupid unfixed like that.

It’s a bug, it’s not a feature but they’ve just ignored fixing it.

– Twindexx and TGV are animated off-rails

– In the world most electric locomotives are run with rear pantograph raised

– In steam engines the Heusinger/Walschearts valve gear is incorrectly animated

– trucks are not placed correctly on roads

– tunnel entrances for widest roads are too narrow

– animation of trucks in the truck bays is totally wrong

– the HBI goods car is too big

– in tight turns train coaches interect with each other

These are display bugs, not related to the actual gameplay. In the whole picture these are less important then actual gameplay bugs, such as weightless cargo, or lacking features, such as dual-slip switches.

I agree there are majour problems which are far worse than this, yes. But if I pay full price for a game I at least expect the developrs to take the time and type one line of code which could fix a simple but really ugly problem. Tonnes of other issues like not being able to upgrade stations and glitchy track laying ruin the game more for me.

They’ve released an alpha of a game for full price.

You know who released a game at alpha stage?

Electronic Arts. I have purchased Dragon Age Inquisition yesterday and it crashes every ~15 minutes on my machine – not an isolated incident, it seems. Train Fever is rock solid in comparison.

That is release in alpha.

Train Fever was released in late beta/release candidate stage. In comparison to tons of software out there, even on release it was quite well made.

Granted. I would like a game that runs at 60fps without stuttering, has maturity of OTTD, economical model of Railroad Tycoon 3 and orgasmically nice graphics. But constraints on software devs are what they are and in comparison, that is a petty problem.

BTW – I am a software developer 🙂

For a handful of them to release this game, which is very stable, is nothing short of astonishing. Yes there are things missing and there are bugs but there will always be. I’m sure they have a list of 200 issues to address and I’m sure door animation is somewhere on that list, but I for one am glad they released the game when they did and personally would have paid twice as much for it – I’ve played about 50 hours of it for the price of a cinema ticket.
