Description
This is an stand-alone application that connects to the Train Sim World API to make arrival and depature announcements. It is currently in alpha, with a limited amount of routes and in need of extensive testing.
On some routes, there is experimental support for the EBuLa (DE) and TimTim Pro (NL) driver advisory systems, intended to use on another display or another device via a web browser. Other display modes include a schematic route map and a digital speedometer seen in some modern UK trains.
The TSW API must be activated by adding the -HTTPAPI launch parameter.
Supported routes
Not all timetables are supported due to additional add-ons not yet being incorperated.

TSW_Passenger_Announcements_0_6_1.exe
- many updates to internals - this might result in odd behavior, so the previous version can be still be downloaded if you run into major issues!
- experimental custom timetables - you must run an active service on a supported route - if a timetable is already loaded, you can create a modified version. some combinations might not have the correct voice phrasings, let me know if that's the case!
- added two additional visualizations; route view and UK-style digital speedometer
- revised 'Displays' window to browse the web-based displays
- updated internals for route data; platforms, signals, distance markers, etc. - this helps feed EBuLa and TimTim for any route - accuracy has improved but needs manual annotations that will be improved incrementally - feedback welcome!
- a visit to Groningen has revealed many secrets of the SNG - announcements are now far more accurate
- auto-updater for incremental updates to routes / timetables
- update notification if a new release is available
- app now has a dark mode (tested on Windows 11)
- timetable and voice updates for Main-Spessart Bahn, Hauptstrecke München - Augsburg and Great Western Express remaster
