Route Florida Tri-rail: Miami Airport - Boca Raton - Feedback Thread

Does Anyone know what these yellow signs with the letter D on it mean on Some signals?

 

Noticed not every crossing has whistle boards proceeding them and cars are going through some crossings too.

 

I think the line uses NORAC rules. If that is the case, the D means:

DISTANT SIGNAL MARKER
Visual reminder to push-pull trains that Rule 504-B applies in the block governed by this signal.

Rule 504-B reads as follows:

Push-Pull Trains Making Station Stops or Slow Movement After Passing Distant Signal

If a push-pull train that has passed a distant signal makes a station stop or reduces speed to less than 10 MPH, it must:

1. Approach the home signal prepared to stop,
AND
2. Not exceed 40 MPH, unless governed by a slower speed.

The train may resume the speed authorized by the distant signal when the home signal is seen to display a proceed indication. If a push-pull train makes a stop other than a station stop in any block, it will be governed by paragraph (A) of this rule.


Rule 504-A:

Trains Making Stops Other Than Station Stops

If a train that has passed a block signal stops for any reason other than a passenger train
making a station stop, it must proceed at Restricted Speed. The train may resume the
speed authorized by the last signal received when:

1. The next signal is seen to display a proceed indication,
AND
2. The track is known to be clear to the next signal.

 

Thank u for the clear explanation I Will get that to mind passing it in the future !

 

As anyone been able to activate all the safety systems for the F40ph and the rotem cab car.

 

A handful of AI services with the GP49 don't have headlights on. The ballast train specifically but I've seen a few passenger services without lights

 

Me neither, the scoring doesn't work for both of these

 

Title: Asset Discrepancy - Tri-Rail GP49H-3 Deluxe Unit Has Type E Coupler In-Game instead of Type F (As Shown in Promo Art)Category: 3D Art / Asset BugRoute/Add-on: Florida Tri-Rail (Deluxe/Loco Add-on)Description:There is a visual asset modeling error on the Tri-Rail GP49H-3 locomotive. The 3D model loaded onto the engine in-game features a standard Type E freight coupler. However, the official marketing and advertisement images for the route correctly display the prototypical commuter Type F coupler.Steps to reproduce:Spawn or inspect the Tri-Rail GP49H-3 unit in-game and view its front/rear couplers (currently rendered as a Type E).Compare it to the official promotional artwork, which accurately depicts a Type F coupler.Expected result: The in-game GP49H-3 asset should be updated to utilize the correct Type F coupler model as shown in the advertisements.

 

Edit: Disregard... I met a shunter going in the opposite direction on the other track, so the re-route had reason. So works as intended.

Original Post:
Service P617, Before Fort Lauderdale, I'm routed to the left track, only to be routed back to the right track after a curve. I imagine that happens becasue the route through the left track is shorter. But I don't think that's very prototypical to change tracks just for the shorter run throught a curve...

 

Noticed a couple of speed reductions to 45 miles per hour in odd places (straight rails). Don’t have random events enabled and the Speedo on the normal hud shows both a red and blue indicator, the red at 45mph and the blue at 79mph. Don’t know if this reduced speed reflects reality, but the speedometer seems to act as if it’s a temporary speed restriction with the two indicators.

 

Why is the bell linked to the horn in this route and other US routes? When you see US trains sounding their horns on YouTube for example, the bell doesn’t sound. The bell only seems to sound arriving at and departing stations.

 

it often is... played San Bernardino Line and bell goes on as soon as you sound horn and you have to deactivate it afterwards

 

Xbox Series X here. Bought it, got it, using it, love it.

Frame rate and stability are excellent in 7, sound work is exceptional (apart from some blips in GP49 rattle and GP38 horn that sounds like a distant vuvuzela). Loving the scenery and makes me miss Florida. But a couple of scenario problems…

CSX Miami: The radio calls in this scenario are persisting into regular timetable service (9:27 in FP40). I started with scenarios, might be a hard case to reproduce.

Tonight’s The Night: Followed directions but the on-foot destination at the first crossing stop is 900ft away and off the walkable map. If it’s a skill issue from me, would appreciate a hint how/why, can’t finish it.

 

I cant find the safety systems on some engines or if i turn it on dont get points, or it tells you to turn on other stuff that not on the locomotive.did the CSX miami scenario did not bother with safety system and it was giving me 65 points and i got platinum medal not having safety system on.

 

I guess they are relying on ppl turning on the safety systems by default option, so they skipped adding some switches as physical ones (BL36PH and its inactive TMS switch, ehm ehm)

 

Bells do come on by default once the horn is pressed in real life. Exceptions for some old locomotives.

 

PC/Steam.
- the light on the EATC(?) box stays red despite being cut-in, maybe that's correct but I couldn't really find any manual for it.
- the scenario Mic Drop doesn't award enough points for a medal. I received 250 AP in total, maybe I've missed something.
- something very minor: Small typo in the Journey Chapter Sun-sational!

 

This one's a bit of a pet peeve of mine, but could we get a fix on the red "application pipe" gauge needles so they work the way they should be working in the North American locos? For context, the white "suppression pipe" needle seems to work mostly correctly in that it is 0 psi anytime the brake setting is below suppression, and it equals the main reservoir pressure (~140 psi) when brakes are applied at or above suppression. However, the red application needle seems to just be a clone of the brake cylinder pressure which is not correct.

Taking from the descriptions of how 26-L brake equipment should function, the red application needle should either be equal to the main reservoir value (~140 psi) when there are no penalties or PCS lights active and when there is a penalty, the needle should drop to 0. This is a gross oversimplification, but I think it is enough to give someone a sense of what the real behavior should look like.


This should apply to the following stock available for TSW:

• Tri-Rail GP49H-3
• Tri-Rail BL36PH
• MBTA F40PH-3C
• NJT GP40PH-2B (when it is released with Bergen Line)

It's one of the scenarios I think

 

Hello Jan,

the typo is found in the chapter select screen for the Tri-Rail route:
