Railroad crossings flashing too fast, which is seizure inducing

Fixed Graphics Trains

Railroad crossing have red flashes, which triggers something regarding photo sensitivity. It's even worse when speeding up the game as the animation speed (hence flashes) speeds up too.

I mentioned it here when a developer video came out and one idea came up, which is using German crossing signals as those have a fixed red light (no flashes). That seems like a good solution, possibly made optional with the disable flashes game setting.

Even through I don't get seizures, it's still headache inducing for me (enough to force me to stop playing), so my personal view is that this is a game breaking issue, or at least an issue, which makes trains unusable (which I suppose is close to the same thing).

That "fix" makes no sense since I wrote 1x speed is not immune to the issue. Also isn't that kind of game breaking too if game speed settings are "disabled"?

It should be added that one possible quick fix is freezing the animation of the flashes if the game option "no flashes" is activated. That will solve most of the issue with presumably a minimal amount of work required.

Sorry, it was only a suggestion incase others had an issue with flashing lights till it could be looked into further. there was no bad intent here. sorry if it came across that way
