From what I've read, american signaling rules allow multiple trains to remain in the same blocks but is 4 trains back to back realistic? Maybe it is but i highly doubt it. Was funny to see 3 other trains to follow me into Long Beach. Ive provided some images.
Nope. Not realistic at all. you maybe see 4 trains following someone closely (one train per block). But never 4 regular passenger trains sitting back to back.
From what Brandon has described, this is prototypical in LIRR territory due to LIRR's stop and proceed signals and very few hard stop signals which are only present at interlockings.
The reason this happens so much in TSW is because AI trains ignore signal speed limits. But yes, trains can occupy the same block. You'd never see this in real life to this degree because you'd start getting slowed down several blocks out.
I think they would only care if the AI drivers became sentient, spawned in physical form, and stole one of their real trains. All they really care about on that front is that certain switches aren’t depicted in the sim as a training manual on how to move a real train.
I've been raising the issue for a long time now of how to stop AI from running around like it's been stung in the ars, ignoring the signals. And it gave results... Well... They included it in... their annual survey. If I'm not mistaken, you could choose no more than five items out of about a dozen, and all of them were very sweet. I wouldn't be surprised if this item didn't get a lot of votes. And even if they force the AI to drive at the signal speed, it will most likely only work on new routes.
I’ve heard this before, but has this actually been reliably confirmed as the reason or is this just speculation? It’s just such a bizarrely outlandish and oddly specific thing. I mean the part about removing the brake charging procedure.
