PC Clinchfield Finds So Far Update 11-4

This route is the best released so far, it’ s heavy but it’s so nice!
Perhaps there are a few things to make it even better.

1. Manual switch levers are to close to the tracks, you hit them with the rollingstock.
2. SD40, exterior blinds aren’t foldable.
3. SD40, horn sound disappeared at one moment.
4. SD40, the airflow display doesn't seem to work.
5. SD40, the engineer is nog sitting on top of it seat.
6. SD40, the inner brake cilinders on the trucks extend futher during braking than the outside ones.
7. SD40/F7, cooling fans aren’t always rotating.
8. F7, the dynamic cooling fans activate even when the dynamic brakes aren't used, is this correct?
9. F7, there is a gap on top of the cabin door and when open, the handle bars of the cabin door go trough the engine room door.
10. F7, when 2 A-units are coupled, there is a gap between the couplings.
11. The wood on the bridges is almost white, is this correct?
12. Near Nora there is open line in the mountains near the top.
13. There aren't brakeman in the cabooses.
14. There are gaps in the timetable, for example, with the SD40, Nora turn part 3 and 4 seems missing.
15. Some areas has a yellow/brown terrain color, but with no grass, like it's shaved.
16. At the Nora spur, on some parts the track is floating.

 

As I posted in the PC discussion area sounds need work. Not necessarily bugs but definitely QoL...
Mainly continuing lack of reverb in tunnels or steep cuttings, no bridge rumble, little track sound (rail joint, flange squeal etc.), lack of external ambient sounds.

 

This seems to be a poorly set LOD - whether they're rotating or not, depends on the distance between the fans and the camera.

This has been mentioned by Matt - they're still playable and are in journeys, but something got wrong with them being in the timetable list. Will probably be fixed.

Shouldn't they be there?

The rest... yeah, some fixes need to be done, that's for sure.

 

I confirm the SD40 cooling fans issue. They rotate for a short moment if you move the dynamic brake lever, but then stop a gain. This likely is a bug in the logic.

Also the direction of the movement is synchronized with the increase/decrease of the handle. This confirms it is a bug.

 

That's right, the problem is that, when you select a loco for timetable service, that loco has to be at the front of the train, not somewhere else. It's been said that in those missing services the loco is not at the front, and so the services are not displayed.
In my opinion, this is a typical case of ambiguous logic triggered by attempts to minimise memory.
