In my time of playing the various Train Sim World games I've encountered a number of broken services that I can't complete, mostly due to faulty AI. I normally just shut the game off and go on about my business. However, I thought to myself, "why not capture these on video and share them?" Now I'm not the first person, nor will I be the last to capture these development blunders. I just thought it would be "cool" for lack of a better term to have a thread showing these in real time with visuals (preferably video). Today I attempted to play the NJ Transit Northeast Corridor Line Train 3967 Service in TSW 3, and I couldn't even move. I was blocked by an Amtrak train. Then an Acela entered the station on my track facing me. Here's my video of the debacle. Feel free to share your own videos or just videos in general of glitches. If you have any services in mind that you can't complete due to red light issues, bad AI, etc, feel free to share those here too. Photos and anecdotes are welcome as well. I just prefer seeing videos. I'm not making this to bash DTG. I just want to shed light on these issues with motion pictures. Sometimes seeing these issues in real time can be helpful. Or dare I say "entertaining." My goal isn't to get DTG to fix these, as we no they almost never guarantee such things. It's just for us to see. Everyone can feel how they feel (I for one am annoyed when this happens, but life goes on). All I ask is that you keep it respectful.
NealTV8 captured this Northeast Regional running reverse into Boston Back Bay. The whole consist was backwards. It was like a Push Pull train with no cab car, pretty bizarre. I'm 99.9% sure nothing like this would happen in real life. This is on the main line, and it's in revenue service. I'm doing anchor text links because when I attempt to embed videos in the forum, they don't appear.
It's not a glitch, but I noticed there are a few drivable ACS-64 Double Headers on the NY - Trenton DLC. The catch however, is that they spawn randomly in timetable. You can't trigger them or select them. So, if you saw a double header and restarted the session, it likely wouldn't respawn. I managed to catch one on a run and abandoned my Keystone train at Newark (sorry Metroliner cab car) and took it over. The propulsion was out of this world. Also the horn and bell is only for one locomotive, I wondered if it would sound both. Anyway, check it out here.
I noticed something super odd about Amtrak Northeast Regional 130. If you play the timetable service, you spawn directly behind Acela 2154, which doesn't stop there in real life. To make it even more awkward, the vast majority of your train didn't platform. But since a portion of it is platformed, you're prompted to open your doors. If you spawn on foot at 8:55, the Acela leaves as the Regional pulls in. If you spawn on foot at 8:50, the Acela sits and the Regional pulls in..THEN Proceeds to open its doors with 99% of the train in FAIR Interlocking. I captured the whole scenario on video from a few different perspectives. This would never happen in real life. I explain the oddity in more detail in the video's YouTube description.
