Sherman Hill has fairly long freight consists. But, it would be nice if we could consistently get consists of over a 100 wagons on a regular basis for freight routes, instead of the consists that average around 60. Especially for American freight which normally average 100 wagons or more. Let's give freight routes some more love. Oakville Subdivision really needs some love. Under-rated route. Just needs some attention. TSW3 is a fantastic sim.
Freight routes moving forward will get the longer consists where appropriate but only for pc and next gen console users. But there will be limitations such as memory that will affect the total limit. Having 1000 cars or even 500 would require a lot of memory which everyone does not have and would probably blow up a pc or console.
It's not just the loading of the cars and whatever freight the trains are hauling, it's the interaction between each wagon and so on. Each car has 6 or more contact points, and constantly maintaining the physics of these over 100 wagons (and probably 4 or 5 locos) would be a huge task for the processor to keep up with
Thank you for that information. Definitely looking forward to it as I am on next gen console. If some of the current freight routes consists get expanded, that would be fine also. Thx again.
