Route Morristown Line New York & Hoboken - Dover - Feedback

So what? 4 car EMU's instead of 3 cars is OK. But some sticker is a bloody crime against realism. There is a switch in the cab, by the way. And also there is a Sunnyside moves in timetable.
Please don't defend DTG on the grounds of realism - it's utterly ridiculous. If they don't want to do things the right way, then realism goes to hell for the sake of simplifying development. If they don't want to do anything at all - it's "because it would be unrealistic".

About FPS at Chatham area at night. Twice there was a massive FPS drops and... it's gone. Now it works without frame drops. Weird.

 

there is (where? my OCD wants to know ) ? didnt know that ... I am not defending them, was just trying to think why they havent done that yet, I have actually no idea why

They simply don't want to spent time on a free update. Besides, this is not just a substitution, so it will take planty of time.

 

Graphics glitch is seen from around Track 9 at New York Station. This is the direction towards Secaucus Junction

 

Not a problem!

 

I just ran service X37 Deadhead - Hoboken to Summit and heading westbound through the Bergen Tunnels I have signals displaying no aspect whatsoever. If this is prototypical please forgive me but I very much doubt it. This might've already been reported but I can't find anything.

 

Could you please make the brakes in the cabcar work properly or remove the AI that is chasing me? It makes me nervous when I'm starting uphill without any holding brakes and there's an impudent train standing a meter behind me.

 

thats cos you are pseudostalker and that is a truestalker

 

The other day I had to stop at a red in NY Penn, I ended up rolling back and coupling to an Amtrak. Couldn't uncouple from the service nor get the train moving again. This feature is way over exaggerated. Yes trains do enter the same signal block irl but they do not follow your backside like an angry driver

 

Is Dovetail planning on fixing the non existent ballast in the tunnels out of Hoboken? I haven’t seen any acknowledgement of this issue.

 

I also found that both engines are not really linked together.

 

Service 6324 says it goes from Dover to New York Penn but you start the service at Summit.

 

On timetable mode service "6241 NY Penn Station - Montclair State University" is missing a service briefing. It is the ALP-45DP NJT and ALP-46 NJT 12:29 timetable mode start.

 

During almost all timetable services I have played, passengers do not board the NJ Transit Multilevel trains at all. This issue is especially noticeable at low-level platforms, where passengers completely ignore the train It significantly reduces the immersion and realism of the route. I sincerely hope this will be addressed in a future update. Even with the Arrow units, only a few passengers seem to board or alight

 

This may have been mentioned before, but service 1001, which is divided into 2 parts, is a run with the ALP 45 DM from Hoboken to Dover. Part 1 is from Hoboken to Newark Broad, but part 2 picks up at Denville. Why????? What happened to the run from Newark Broad to Denville?

 

There is quite a few like that. Im guessing it maybe takes a different route a re joins at denville.

 

dal#7945, you are probably right. There is the second way to get between these 2 points.

 

Where do NJT trains spend the night? I don't see them in Hoboken or Sunnyside. Are the sidings in Hoboken only used for daytime layovers?

 

I am not sure about Hoboken as far as night storage, but what we can observe is that Meadows is completely empty in this route which is totally unrealistic. Others who know more can correct me but I think a lot of overnight storage happens there. The lack of, at least, static stock here, and also at Hudson just west of Meadows, is one of the few weak points of this otherwise very strong route. Even NYT had some static stock at Meadows, which is the only instance where NYT is better than Morristown. The other weak point for Morristown I would say is the rather poor implementation of roadway/vehicle traffic.

 

That's the Montclair/Boonton Line.

 

I'm not 100% on this, but I don't think Bombardier/Alstom would mount the wiper motor this far back in the coach. I assumed during one of the many updates back in TSW5, that they just accidently removed the wiper sounds and forget to fix it. Also, It really disappoints me to see passengers in the car before the train even enters service. Sounds like a major safety violation. (I am aware of the long standing issue with the OOS pax.) Wasn't there also a invisible wall glitch at this same spot.

P.s, forget to cut-in the brakes there. woops.

 

Maybe not a bug(do you have to open the doors on both sides in Hoboken track 14?). Arrow: doors - unlock both - unlocks only the doors on the right; lock both - first click do nothing, doors locked after second click.

 

Dover yard should host a bunch of overnight layovers.

 

Interesting, twice now with the Arrow III, I have been stopped at a station and did something which resulted in the game not recognizing the closing of the doors. First, I went into setting to change something and second time I used the free roam (8 key on pc) to look around a station stop. Both time I just went back to my last save and did NOT repeat what I had done.
Another thing, if you are using a Rail Driver, I have found that placing the Enabled Assets in the ThrottleFullRange position makes the Arrow II easier to drive.

 

Arrow has a door fault enabled, even if its disabled via game settings.

 

Just spotted an ALP46 with the rear headlights still on. I thought this was fixed in a previous patch?
Also another thing to note: Train 608 with Arrows seems to form from a service from the lake Hopatcong area which is physically impossible...

 

Many Dover-originating services come out of the yard and pull through the station to the west before reversing and beginning their runs east. Some of these are playable in the game ("Dover Yard Move").

 

IRL only the doors on the right open

 

Some real David Lynch energy from this store...

 

What's da freakin point of update da freakin rolling stock, if you don't fix da freakin bugs?
Why there is no rain drops on ALP-46 when this bug was reported dozen times for NYT version of the loco? Before updating anything, maybe you should fix it first? The same question about the same bug on 802!
Do you read those freakin feedbacks at all!?

Why are we even bothering here if you don't give a damn about any reports? You're not even capable of basic testing, not to mention anything more complex.

 

PS5:

Bit of a strange bug at the end of service 6307 driving from the cab car. I got to Summit on time and opened the doors, but then instead of a lock doors instruction I kept getting an unlock doors instruction even though the doors were open. This made it impossible to complete the service.

 

Have you waited long enough? Some services require you to wait at the platform for up to the scheduled arrival time plus 0,5-2 minutes to complete the service.
I don't know what it depends on - maybe some setting in the timetable config. Some services end even if you show up half an hour early, while others make you wait until the scheduled time.
I remember it annoyed me on the WCML, when I had to wait 9 minutes for the service to finish.

 

There is quite a few services like that.

 

Yeah, my record was something around 12 minutes at Westside on LIRR. After that, I started avoiding all services to Westside.

 

Mine was this evening on Birmingham/crewe 17 mins wait at Wolverhampton. In a pendolino

 

I arrived at 7.31 when it was scheduled to finish at 7.33. I tried closing and opening the doors after 7.33 and it still kept telling me to unlock the doors even though they were already open. It seemed like the instruction had been coded the wrong way round for that service.

 

It all depends on the service's scheduled stop time. Typically, it's a minute or two. Therefore, you should wait longer than the schedule indicates, as it shows the arrival time, not the service end time.

 

Does this line crash on GeForce Now for anyone else?

 

What is Meadows station used and why does it never get announced on the train.

 

Think of it like the Redcar British Steel of the Morristown Line. A small station that caters pretty much exclusively to a single facility. It's for people working at the Meadows complex, since that's home to hundreds of NJT jobs maintaining their rolling stock.

 

I thought it might have been but wasn't sure thank you.

 

PS5 Pro
I was just taking a service from NY Penn to Dover and as I was leaving, a subway train pulled into the West Side Yard depot at the same time, I think it was marked AI service: LIRR_25_5 and had all the doors open for passengers during the ride.

 

Sadly it does after the first patch. "This station is when leaving the train please watch the gap". Weird name for the station.
There were no announcements before the patch, which was correct.

Am I the only one who noticed that when there are a certain number of trains with Multilevels, the FPS starts to drop significantly? Perhaps it's because the lights are constantly on in coaches.

 

I've seen a couple of these at Hoboken.

 

Does LIRR M7 etc. run in Hoboken?

 

No, they can't. The electrification there is completely different. And there is no direct connection between Hoboken and NY Penn.

 

The LIRR uses third rail electrification, the NJT is overhead wires. Third rail stops at the east end of NY Penn station and does not go thought the Hudson River tunnels. As PseudoStarker noted, Hoboken has no connection to New York line. NJT ends there in a terminal station.

 

This was a response to a previous post.

 

And I, the previous post in question, was referring to loads of NJT AI trains which are also running with passengers aboard and all the doors open. It seems to be a bit more widespread of an issue than just the LIRR.

 

But on the Morriston line map, it probably only happens at the LIRR, or am I wrong?
