Route Nec: New York - Stamford Feedback Thread

So far I can only speak about the M8 trains and in my opinion, yes. But you have to get used to the M8 safety systems which are rather demanding ! I made about 20 timetable journeys until I finished without any penalty brake. In earlier times these DLCs had proper manuals, but today you have to figure out for yourself how everything works...

I don't care much about the cosmetics or which way the panto is pointing but it was very satisfying to master that train. And I like the sound of the M8, with my buttkicker gamer my chair feels like on a real cab.

 

1583. At the start of the service you hear the announcements about train 1362("Train to Old Greenwich. Stops at Old Greenwich"), which is going to the Stamford yard(in the opposite direction from Old Greenwich), without stopping at platform.

 

Also, always forget to ask, can you remove the sungluses from ACS-64? I don't see anything at night from the cab. Is there a mod that changes glass material on this loco to transperent?
Just start the service at night(not at a lit station), look at the pitch-black darkness ahead from the cab, where even the spotlight is almost invisible. Then attach a camera to the nose - you'll be amazed at the difference when, instead of pitch-black darkness, you see objects and the spotlight suddenly appears bright.

 

From what it looks like in the May roadmap, I don't see any mention of patches for the NY-Stamford route. I guess we will have to be patient. Hopefully it gets patched by the next roadmap or sometime mid May

 

They added a small section at the bottom saying there is small patch coming this month.

 

That is good to know. I did not see that line in the roadmap

 

In the update please adjust the times and stop making us 22mins at grand central before the job will end.

 

That's how the schedule works irl. There is a lot of padding. You can operate slower and still make it on time.

 

So what? Let us start at home and drive to work then. Because that's how it works irl.
On many other routes game register the end of the service afyer you closed the doors, even if you arrived an hour early. There is something in config, that needs to be changed

 

I dont know anything about but its one my favourite but why is the freight limited to very low speeds.

 

DTG Harry hello Harry with today's patch for this can you now complete the SD40-2 journey. Because previously your train would end up off path and you could not complete it. Thanks

 

Ok thanks its so annoying you get almost to the end of the job and then you end of path and its a long job as well.

 

I believe someone here had mentioned the Mianus river bridge. Hopefully is much better now

• Changed top of the bridge at Mianus River Bridge near Cos Cob to use wooden slats material instead of ballast.

 

Has the 12-5-26 patch been sent to Steam yet? Nothing appears in my game yet.

 

This was another one mentioned here ,
Resolved issue of M8 wheel cap axles not spinning when the train is moving
