    is there anyway like in real life for me not to open all doors because the platforms are ridiculously short in the scenarios.

    I dno why i let these things bother me lol but i know im just searching for realism hence why im asking about the door controls

    Unfortunately this isnt possible currently. Only if you would run to each door and open them manually, which isnt practical of course.

    According to the manual (I don't own LIRR) there are door control units in the cab:
    I suppose you could get out of your driver's seat, walk to the rearmost but platformed cab, and then use the "unlock rearward doors" button from that cab to open all doors which are in a platform. You can then walk back to the front cab and then close doors.

    I'm not really interested in American content, so I'm not sure yet if I'll be getting LIRR. It looks good though!

    What I think you can do, is go to the last cab which is still in the platform. Then key in and push the "unlock rearward doors" button. If everything works as I think it will, this should unlock all doors between the front cab (which you were driving) and the cab you're in. You can then walk back to the front cab and close the doors from there :)

    Will try that bro. Cheers.
    What content are you interested in if i may ask, and what area of a railway are you from?

    Im not necessarily interested in usa either, but to me it just looked more my cup of tea than the german dlc and that one based on the old days in this country

    I'm from the Netherlands, and I'm mostly interested in British content set in the modern era. Germany comes 2nd.

    Key word “modern era”!
    Because they are bringing out a new dlc soon based up north like in the Manchester/leeds areas based in the 70/80s, i just cant understand what they have against modern stuff!

    They have nothing against the modern era, they also want to cater to an audience with different preferences. Many people like historic stuff such as BR Blue or preserved railways, DTG would be crazy not to tap into that potential.

    I'm sure a modern era British route will come soon... except if they get steam engines in.

    In real life, the driver is supposed to announce that the platforms are 4 cars long and to move to the front or back cars in order to leave the train. The "Partial Door" button is supposed to be pressed until illuminated a bright orange and then you are supposed to click Forward or Rearward (depending on whether the platform is at the front or back of the train). This still works in the game, it loads passengers still and everything but the doors don't physically open. Kinda a bummer. Btw, I know this because I live on Long Island and I've been on MANY MANY MANY MANY LIRR trains (I get nightmares sometimes lol) :)

    Hope this helps! :)

    Sorry for the 2 year late reply: but what I usually do is switch to the front camera a stop before the short platform stop (4 cars), and move it to the cab in car 4 for the duration of the run to the following stations with short platforms. From there I just open the front 4 cars only.
