I play with all the safety systems on. I find it a bind having to go around the cab to turn them on every time I start a service. I would love to be able to have them turned on by default
I swear this has been suggested multiple times by different people. I do agree make it setting (that defaults to off) as otherwise new players who might not know how they work will have a bad time otherwise
There could be something put in the advanced settings that can change the default from being off to on
It could confuse players with expert locos I Think it would be locomotive safety systems on automatically or something like that and it could be shortened but I don't know what to put
It’s a quality of life feature that should be added to the game ASAP. I hate when you haven’t driven a train in long time, and you waste precious time searching instead of driving.
Many users here on the forum say they want to feel and experience the immersion. As a train driver, part of the job is to prepare the locomotive and switch the safety systems on or off. And when you select a service from the timetable in TSW, the locomotive is usually already prepared, and all you have to do is switch the safety systems on. Personally, I’d actually prefer it if I had to prepare a locomotive or a train from scratch, just as you would in real life.
I kinda like how you have to register GSM-R in 375 in the new UK DLC, one more step in immersion... next big step - turning track monitor into an Ebula-like stuff, if we arent going to get a proper Ebula... I mean, it would rock if we got those in-cab screen or paperwork detailing the route/service like IRL ... track monitor is great, but not exactly immersion-enhancing
100% agree, I'm one of those. That's because you're not taking a train that is stabled in a yard, you take it "on the fly"... Yes, it would be interesting to go through the whole procedure... provided we have enough time to do it !
