Not sure if I'm in tight place Matt who does live streams he needs to slow dow with the controls in the cab so people with eye sight problems can see what he is doing he needs to have consideration for people with eye sight problems and go bit slower in the cab
Sam has mentioned to him a few times to slow when setting the controls as the viewrs will want to see what to do correctly. Like Matt has said and I agree with him when you become used to setting something up, sometimes you forget that when you're showing some else you need to slow down.
I’m not sure how familiar you are with YouTube so apologies if I’m stating the obvious but you can slow down or speed up their videos and streams by tapping the three dots in the corner and then tapping playback speed: It’s never gonna be the right speed for everyone so this is a good way to suit it to your preference.
There is limited time available to produce a first look video, which could explain why setup speed is so fast. I prefer to see the route unfold before me and do my own cab systems learning later. A follow-up cab setup stream if enough people call for it, may be a solution.
Just so you know, I agree with everyone in this thread. I'll try to ensure that any previews we do show set-up in a slow, methodical fashion.
Can I add to this with an observation that when Matt streams from his computer everything is very dark on youtube. You often see him pointing out things on the train bogies and control panels and such which are just in complete darkness on screen. He can obviously see things at his end that don’t show on the broadcast screen. This can make it incredibly difficult to see what he’s actually doing. I think it’s a contrast issue and doesn’t appear to be as bad when other people are driving the stream.
Well, if it's a high speed train....... Seriously though, he does move and talk fast. I think it's because he's very familiar with the cab controls whereas most of us are poking around looking for this or that.
Rather than a video, why not create a scenario in the route that teaches us these? Then we could play it a leisure, get AP credit for doing so, and replay it any time we need to? For example a PZB tutorial scenario, things like that. I don't understand why the tutorials are so basic and we're left to try and piece together information from other sources to figure things out. Teach! And make us all experts in no time, IMO.
