Route Morristown Line New York & Hoboken - Dover - Feedback

As I say, on Morristown, you observed it with LIRR trains at Penn, I observed it with NJT trains at Hoboken.

My money is on it being more of a core issue, than just an issue with layered stock. Obviously no passenger trains should be running with all their doors open, irrespective of the operator

 

OK, I'll try to focus on that. ...

 

Can I ask a stupid question? When I switch from diesel to electric on this hybrid loco ALP45DP ...... does the diesel engine keep running or does it automatically shut down? I haven't figured it out.....maybe it works on the loco somehow, but if it's controlled via the cabcar, then probably not, or am I wrong? Thank you

The tutorial didn't help me at all and I haven't tried the screnario yet.

 

The switch to electric automatically shuts down the diesel engine.

 

You can tell it's switched off because you can no longer see the emissions from the top of the loco.

 

I just saw smoke even after switching to electric mode... but so far we have only tried it, I have not continued further....... we took another service 1002 from Dover to Denville, and there it did not want to switch to electric mode and I was driving in diesel mode and I even met an oncoming AI train from Summit in Denville and it was also driving in Diesel mode... interesting, but not impossible

 

It switches off, but it takes a while. After a minute or so you'll here some sounds and also the fans outside on the roof will be stopped

 

Yes, about two minutes after switching the system to electric, the engine turned off and the fan stopped. Thank you.

 

I think that after switching to electric mode, the turbocharger is still cooling down and the diesel engine is idling. After the temperature drops, the engine shuts down.

 

Did you fix Multilevel doors not working(only visuals works) on low platforms? - No!
Did you fix no raindrops bug on ALP-46? - No!
Did you fix FPS drops between Morris Plains and Mount Tabor? - No!
Did you implement proper brakes in Multilevel cabcar so that you can start moving uphill normally? - No!
Did you fix Incorrect display of electric motors operation when coasting? - No!
Did you added joint sounds at speed above 15 mph for both locos? - No!

GREAT PATCH!

 

here two things that might want to be fix on future patch.
1. coupler gap between alp45dp and cars.
2. glow storge rack at new york penn station

 

Can you please add on which platform you have this issues? PC/XBOX/PS/EPIC

 

For you the same question what platform you have this issues?!

 

AFAIK, just about every one of these issues has been documented multiple times across all platforms since launch.

 

Lowering your eyes a little and reading the signature is too difficult for some people. I understand (no).

There is another example of incorrectly set priority. Train 6406 should not wait for train 6612 to pass. At the very least this looks illogical and cause delay.

 

PS5. I'll add more:
the low LOD distance for PIS on the front of the Multilevel coaches- not fixed.
gravel on track and see-through ground right before the east river tunnel coming from any service from Sunnyside - not fixed
floating PIS visible when exiting Sunnyside yard - not fixed
reverb missing about halfway through the NY Penn tunnels- not fixed.
the actual east river tunnel section missing/disappears right before 15 mph speed drop at NY Penn (it loads after a sec or two)
raindrops on the multilevel cab windshield while inside the east river tunnel and the weather is set to rain (might have to go to external view first to recreate)

I think this is an issue with the loco itself, as if it's underpowered or something. I spent a lot of time on ALP46 on NY Trenton and I could start moving at 2% grade at notch 4-5 or 5-6. On the Morristown APL46 version, you pretty much have to go full power (notch 9) to get it moving at the same grade.

 

I have to give DTG credit for fixing announcements though - the announcement no longer plays before Meadows, which is correct as it’s just an employee stop.
