No, the Class 90 is going to be available for PC (Steam & Epic Games) and Gen 9 consoles only (Xbox Series X|S & PlayStation 5) - it will not be available on Xbox One & PlayStation 4.

What features are supported by the Class 90?

UK Safety Systems are fully modelled, including TPWS, AWS and DSD, as well as the new working Speed Set feature, and Intractable GSMR radio. As the machine room is not modelled, the DSD isolation is activated by interacting with a noise level warning sticker on the machine room door to represent a driver entering the room to enable / disable it. The Class 90 also includes a fully operational BIS and realistic Neutral Section functionality.

Multiple Working capabilities have also been implemented, allowing for heavy-haul operations with other Class 90 locomotives.

Train Faults are also present for players with the relevant Settings Enabled as part of the new Train Sim World 6 Core feature. These consist of wiper and pantograph failures.

How do I disable AWS on the Class 90?

The fuses for AWS are located on the back wall behind the driver, behind a metal cover.
