So playing this i quite like it but what tod does it use. Im doing a job 18.30 in August and its pitch black. Thanks
I think the tod on this route is about one hour behind the usual tod. On the one hand, it gets dark early, but on the other hand the sun rises early too (about 4am). The route needs clearly an update for this
Did a run yesterday and I just use the actual date. Picked a run starting at just past 1700 and it was dark. Now I know why. Was in the 110 and could not see a thing trackside. This seems to be one of the routes where you have to acknowledge an 80 km/h reduction sign and, though I would probably have not done it anyway, could not see that yellow triangle so got a 1000 hz missed penalty brake. That to me is another annoying issue with TSW, they can't seem to make up their minds as to whether use the 70 km/h or 80 km/h as the point where you need to respond on pzb. Though, I think in actual fact it is anything under 100 km/h, I am not German so may be wrong on this.
Not an expert but to my knowledge you have to acknowledge every advanced speed signs under 100km/h. Its a matter of how fast you are doing if the magnet trips the pzb. Also dont have exact numbers on this but f.e. if there is an 80 signal and you doing 90, acknowledge it but you probably wont get influenced by it. Do it with 100km/h and the magnet will activate PZB. There are places where those signs dont have magnets at all, which is also correct for certain places irl. About the actual topic, that a problem on lots of german routes, LFR springs to mind. I also dont think TSW takes in that we shift between summer and winter time in Germany.
Not a TSW issue. The rules for which speed restrictions get (which kind of) PZB magnet(s) are a bit more complex than "anything under x km/h gets a magnet". As a driver, it doesn't matter anyway. You acknowledge signals, not magnets. Just acknowledge anything that's announcing a slowdown or a stop, and be pleasantly surprised if the 1000 Hz light doesn't come up.
