Having played 4 services, I've found it nearly impossible to keep to the schedule, unless I drive at least 5-10 km/h over the speed limit. This seems to be both when climbing or descending. Especially in such a peculiar route speeding is not something you should be doing in order to arrive on time at stops, if I adhere to the speed limits, just after chur stadt, I'll accumulate a 2/4 minute delay. This can't just be my experience, what have you guys been experiencing? Or is it something I'm doing? Cheers
I tried it too a few times. I can't be on time. Mainly because of the throttle. It's set to 3.3 but I'm going at 31 km/h.
I did one full service run up to Arosa and ended 3 minutes late, but on my way delays increased till 7 minutes. In Chur time to setup the train is a bit short.
It’s not so much the throttle. 2km/h isn’t going to make up enough time. The timetable is just incorrect it just doesn’t allow enough time. Also remember the real life timetable also accounts for request stops which still allows for arriving on time, which don’t happen on the DLC. Rivet just got it wrong. The irony of producing a route for a country that is famous for running on time and making it impossible to do so!
I've did the math and you are right it's not the throttle. There's only a 2 ~ 3 minutes difference. For reference real timetable : Chur 11:08 — Arosa 12:09 Arosa 11:49 — Chur 12:53 Exactly my thoughts. It's really frustrating to be not on time on a Swiss route. Rivet should fix this, I think they will.
Confirmed the timetable has not been simulated correctly. Played ~10 services so far. But actually, you always arrive before the run-around services, so are just the station stop times which are incorrect. DTG Natster This is probably a technical report thing?
I'm just setting the throttle to 3,5 and the loco keeps 33 km/h on 6% grade, but you have to be fast lowering to 3,3 as soon as the grade flatens out
