    I don't know if it's a bug or if it's just seasonal, but I don't usually see traffic to Belmont Park, I mean AI, and the train times aren't even displayed in the 2D map at the stations. When I manually start a service as a player, for example from Belmont Park to NY Penn, the times of other trains suddenly start appearing in the 2D map ..... that's quite strange ....

    And similarly, I haven't seen anything in Long Island City yet.

    belmont park is seasonal . don't have the exact dates but I think is sometime in the spring. As far as LIC there's only 4 M9 service that goes there. in the am it then empty moves to Jamaica and the other in afternoon from Jamaica the departs to Ronk I think. I reality LIC is used by the diesel fleet

    Thank You. It's a shame that the layer from NEC NY-Trenton only gives static AI, but it would probably be too demanding for the operation on NY Penn. I don't have the Acela Add-on yet. At least I didn't find any AI driving a classic train on the map..... all just M3, M7 and M9

    I highly recommend the Acela and New York Trenton. Very busy route

    Thanks for the tip .... But for full traffic I would probably have to have many more add-ons :)

    Part of me wonders if the next expert loco will be the Acela II, with realistic loss of pantograph connection :P

    But I looked, there are also a lot of layers with freight transport .... it's a shame that the new LIRR can't use it as an alternative, I'm on PS5, so the mod management is not in my thoughts

    That's strange, why is that, do you know?
    In order for the Acela add-on to work, is it necessary to have the Boston-Providence map?

    In TSW you don't get Gibson, but in real life you do.

    Im TSW kommt man nicht Gibson, im realen leben schon.

    AI goes(if it manages not to get stuck at Valley Stream). The station is not for player.

    Two things at NY Penn, a collision with a steel structure between Track 19 and Track 20 and then on the West Yard Siding Track 30 at the entrance to the tunnel, a collision with a steel structure column

    Why is it so picky that you have to stop dead on the marker at Jamaica

    Because either (a) the LIRR double-stacks trains there and you have to leave room, or (b) you don't want passenger doors beyond the platform

    Finally got a chance to pick this up. I noticed a layer for "October" services, but I haven't been able to find out anything about it. Does anyone know if this was actually implemented, or is it just a placeholder for something that is not in the game? If it is real, what services are the "October" ones? Tried searching for this but came up empty.

    OK I was able to get the information from Joe. "It's the ghost train that goes to the disused station in the tunnel. October because spooky. Here's the times you can see it at each station it goes by
    [​IMG]
    "I think I told it not to spawn an engineer too so its proper spooky" "Not sure which type of train it is". is AI only. hope this information helps. Enjoy :)

    Whoa! And here I was thinking that it was some sort of fall foliage extra or something. Thanks for finding out!

    M7 is still undrivable in slippery conditions.
    When the automatic brake(by signal speed restriction) is activated, begins wheel slipping, which for some reason always causes the emergency brake to be activated, which increases wheel slip to rediciolus level.
    As a result player just sits and smiles in the cab of a train that they cannot control.
    I've been reporting this since the day of release. But you don't give a LOVE.
    Reduce the intensity of the wheel slipping or fix the system logic so that it does not activate emergency braking.

    Seems like LIRR has been abandoned again. I reported lots of issues as well. But no fixes. Am pretty sure the trains were supposed to get suspension upgrades.

    I know it's a bit off-topic. But can someone explain to me for what purposes do they drag this metroliner cabcar?

    It's around Jamaica area.

    It measures the track to make sure it's within tolerances.

    But I asked which service, and what time, could I see this. I've traveled this route quite a bit, but I've never seen this track-measuring train.

    It's IRL shot, not from the game. That's why I indicated that it's off-topic.

    The MTA MP15AC is the giveaway. ;)

    Would be nice to see this added to TSW sometime though.
    Could provide some nice additional services, a la the RHTT pack for UK railways. (Could even do an international multipack deal with trains like the Flying Banana, and whatever DB use for track measurements) I bet DTG could capitalise on it with licensors as promoting the effort these railways put in to ensuring strict safety and quality standards.

    My suggestion was that it was the old SW1000, which was presented as an AI train.
