I was really hoping for Industry but it became Need for speed. When I looked on sunday the Industry was 1 point ahead but yesterday I saw this theme win
I wouldn't worry too much about it. Since the themes are being picked by people who don't enter, it's all a bit meaningless anyway.
It feels strange that there are more people who vote for the theme than join the contest. I only join the contest when I find the theme interesting which I hoped Industry should be. But guess I have to wait until next time it shows up and hope it will win.
Same here.Voted for Industry and I prepared a picture of a nice coal mine,but because I don't like the actual theme,I will not participate this week.
Some great Need for Speed shots well done everyone, This weeks winner with this awesome shot of a AEM-7 is CJM21292 , congratulations! Have a great week everyone. Last Contest of the Year : https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tsc-screenshot-contest-december-2024-week-50.87817/
You are running an American Train on a UK Route. US Locos are Bigger in body size than UK trains The US Routes have the Wires set at the correct height
I know that but what im saying is the pantograph going higher and lower due to the catenary height like how it is in Train Sim World should also be implemented on TSC
That does not make sense. It you put a USA loco on a European route the Pantograph will go thru the wires which are set at a fixed height If you put as EU Electric on a US Route then the pantograph will not reach the wires which are set higher. Same two locos as before - the US E60 pantograph touches the wires - the Class 87 pantograph does not. If you run the Amtrak loco in your picture on an American route - such as New York - New Haven the Panto just reaches the wires
What CJM is trying to achieve is the panto to reach the wires and then stop, just like in real life. Change height even for tunnels and bridges. TSC models in this sense seem to be static indeed. Digging into the problem, I think the distinct lack of electric US options encourages players to use stock on routes from other continents. Pretty sure that there are 3rd party upgrades to the old NEC, but the Steam version is old and every other section is slow or short. The best you can do is mix it with the NJCL. TSC is more of a paradise for UK and German players. (And Dutch!)
The New York - New Haven is a more modern version of the NEC. North East Corridor is quite outdated by comparison. The Albula line has Dynamic Pantographs but just, I think, on the Ge4/4III
NYC-Philadelphia section of the NEC desperately needs to be updated but it should take place during the beginning of the new millenium
