By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy (/privacy-policy).

By registering an account, signing in, connecting a simulator, or otherwise accessing TSW6Ti, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to comply with these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the Service.

To register and maintain a TSW6Ti account cleanly and securely, you agree to the following conditions:

  • Minimum Age: You must be at least 13 years old (or meet the minimum age of digital consent in your country, or have verified consent from a parent or legal guardian).
  • Account Credentials: You must select an appropriate username between 2 and 64 characters and a strong password of at least 8 characters. Do not choose usernames that impersonate others or contain offensive or unlawful wording.
  • Account Security: You are solely responsible for safeguarding your login password, browser session token, and devices, and for all actions performed under your account. You can change your password or log out at any time via /account.

TSW6Ti provides web-based tools to enhance your Train Sim World 6 experience, including:

  • Live Telemetry Dashboard: Customisable real-time display modules showing speed, throttle/braking inputs, gradient, signals, and locomotive telemetry.
  • Connection & Workspace Preferences: Encrypted storage of your simulator connection details alongside saved dashboard grid layouts, themes, accent colours, and speed unit settings.
  • Recordings, Replay & Exports: Tools to record drive sessions, view journey analytics, replay recorded telemetry, and export summaries as JSON, ZIP, or PDF files.
  • Reference Guides: Route and operational reference documentation accessible within the telemetry interface.

Connecting TSW6Ti to Train Sim World 6 requires entering a target host/IP address and your DTGCommKey API key from your simulator setup.

  • Authorised Hosts Only: You confirm that you own, operate, or have explicit permission from the owner to connect to any host, IP address, or simulator API you configure in TSW6Ti.
  • Credential Protection: Your saved IP addresses and API keys are encrypted at rest on our servers. However, you remain responsible for securing your local firewall, network exposure (such as port 31270), and DTGCommKey confidentiality.

You agree not to misuse TSW6Ti or interfere with the experience of other users. Specifically, you must not:

  • Attempt to connect to, scan, probe, or disrupt third-party computers, servers, or networks that you do not control.
  • Attempt to bypass authentication, probe hidden server paths, access another user's saved connections, configs, or recordings, or exploit vulnerabilities in the Service.
  • Use automated bots, scraping tools, or flood requests in a manner that degrades server stability or availability.
  • Store malicious code, deceptive data, or unlawful content inside usernames, recording titles, or submitted configuration payloads.
  • Resell, sublicense, or misrepresent TSW6Ti as an official product or service of Dovetail Games.

Telemetry recordings, user content, and retention

Ownership: You retain ownership of the telemetry recordings, connection entries, and dashboard configurations you create and save on your account.

Operational Licence: By saving recordings or configurations to TSW6Ti, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence solely to store, compress, process, replay, and deliver that data back to you while your account remains active.

Retention & Backups: Login sessions expire automatically after 7 days. Finished recordings are retained for 365 days by default (or the shorter/custom window of 30, 90, 180, or 365 days, or keep-until-deleted setting you configure on /account). Because we prioritise data minimisation and honour immediate erasure, deleted recordings and deleted accounts cannot be recovered—please export any recordings you wish to keep beforehand.

Except for third-party trademarks and open-source components, all software code, interface designs, stylesheets, visual layouts, and original guides powering TSW6Ti remain the property of TSW6Ti and its contributors.

  • Third-Party Game Marks: Train Sim World 6, Dovetail Games, and associated route, train, and operator marks belong to Dovetail Games or their respective rights holders.
  • Open-Source Libraries: Self-hosted frontend libraries included with the Service (Bootstrap, Font Awesome, jQuery, Chart.js, SortableJS, marked, and DOMPurify) are used in accordance with their respective open-source licences.

Your privacy is central to how TSW6Ti is built. Our collection, encryption, retention, and self-service UK GDPR rights (Access, Rectification, Portability, and Erasure via /account) are governed by our Privacy Policy, available at /privacy-policy.

TSW6Ti is provided on a reasonable-efforts, "as available" basis. We may update features, change API endpoints, apply maintenance, or temporarily suspend parts of the Service without prior notice. Updates to Train Sim World 6 by Dovetail Games may also affect telemetry compatibility from time to time.

  • Termination by You: You may stop using TSW6Ti at any time and immediately erase your account and all server-side data using the Delete Account tool on /account.
  • Termination by TSW6Ti: We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate accounts that violate these Terms, pose a security risk, or abuse server resources.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TSW6Ti is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including uninterrupted uptime, error-free operation, or compatibility with every simulator update.

Simulation Use Only: All live gauges, braking curves, speed limits, alerts, recordings, and guides within TSW6Ti are designed strictly for computer game simulation entertainment. They must never be used for real-world rail transport, navigation, engineering, or safety-critical purposes.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded under UK law (including death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud).

Subject to the above, TSW6Ti will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses—or for loss of recordings, game data, or availability—arising out of or connected with your use of, or inability to use, the Service.

We may revise these Terms periodically to reflect new features, legal requirements, or security improvements. Updated Terms will be published on /terms-and-conditions alongside the downloadable document. Continuing to use TSW6Ti after changes take effect signifies your acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms of Service were last updated on November 12th, 2026.

These Terms are governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes arising out of them shall be subject to the courts of England and Wales (subject to any mandatory consumer protections applicable in your jurisdiction).
