    Hello everyone,

    I have been having issues with the accelerometer.

    This has came about after the recent suspension update.

    When I accelerate and decelerate the orange/ blue colour flickers. That's the best way I can describe it. It's really distracting me and it seems to only affect trains with suspension applied.

    As such, I can't really judge things speed wise if I am accelerating etc or not due to this. It makes it a lot trickier. Is anyone having a similar issue?

    I'm on PC, not sure what your seeing but even a cell phone image would be helpful to show what your seeing.

    In the normal HUD, above the speed number and to the left of the door indicator, there is an accelerometer. On Train Sim Germany locos, this is colour blue for accelerating and yellow for decelerating.

    Yeah, that is not a speed indicator just a visual to show the Speed increase or decrease. That is if that's what they are talking about, I have not used that part of the hud in a long time I forgot about it. But that is the only thing that could flicker maybe?

    It's on tsw4 and using the minimalist hud. I believe the above poster is using a different hud

    On the original HUD it now bounces around like mad with the suspension.

    Ah so it's just as bad for that hud version as well? Ah that sucks..thought it was just confined to the minimal hud.

    I will look and see what it is showing on my HUD, I have not noticed really. And you are not adjusting your speed via the throttle?

    I am not..I initially did it on this clip to show the flickering. If that makes sense. After you accelerate with throttle and let it settle and keep it there, it flickers. Does need fixing. Even no throttle input (in neutral position), it still flickers

    I got caught up with other things, "And for what it's worth now that TSW5 is coming out" but I did notice a very little bounce of the Accelerometer on the 801 when I put the throttle to 2 or 3 and left it there to get more speed, as well as when setting the throttle to slow down a bit. I tried it on 323 Training Center only, and I saw none, I also tried it on ECML class 66 and there was no bounce once I set the throttle and left. See the attached images showing where how much I saw it bounce. Also, keep in mind I'm on a PC and the only way I can run it to see what happens.

    Ah okay..that's interesting. But I have definitely been having it. Even today it's been happening. It tends to be at higher speeds.
