    High, no such thread yet, so I created one.

    I have a question already.
    In the "Clean and Tidy" scenario once you come at the refuelling station, you need to activate the brakes. I tried but it seems I cannot find the correct settings to satisfy the instructions. The instruction is give while you are in the cab car, but it seems you need to go back to the engine and do there something. Can anyone help me out here?

    Small bug: the action points you get if you play from a Journey are not displayed if open the scenarios part. It shows zero points there, but it shows the medals.

    From memory, I went back to the locomotive to put the brake

    Before going through the washer, I had switched from the cab car to the locomotive as I would assume proper procedure would be. When I did so, I properly shut down the cab car including switching the brakes out. On the step to set the brakes where you are having the problem, I had to fiddle a bit with the brake handle in the locomotive to get that instruction to complete. I released the brakes then slowly started apply them till the instruction cleared. Hope that helps some.

    I'm stuck even earlier in this scenario. Having shut down the loco cab and changed ends at San Jose, I get into the cab car, throw the three main switches, insert the reverser, select forward, cut the brake valve in, release the brakes, wait for them to come off, and apply power, as instructed.

    The train does not move. PCS is not activated. I went through a full PCS reset just to make sure, but I'm still going nowhere. What am I missing?

    One question about brakes:
    What's the HOLDING position for?
    Thanks!

    Major issues with brakes, sounds, lighting. Did anyone even check this game out before making it available? Or did they just throw together whatever crap they could and sell it to us? I think probably the latter. To give you an idea of what I'm talking about the crickets are louder than the train while it going 45 mph. And horn only works around 25% of the time. This would be a really fun add on if it was done right. Buuuuuuuut..... even as is it will take alot of time, research and development update patches. Just to get this game to an acceptable condition. The money I used to buy this game and multiple add on's/dlc's wasn't messed up or defective. So I believe DTG and any developmental partners owe me big-time. If we don't buy this crap they are all out of a job. And we the consumers need to start holding them accountable instead of them holding us hostage waiting for updates to fix buggy game once they have our money.

    For me, Service 330 towards San Jose Diridon cannot be finished. I get a red signal about 8km away from my final stop, and it never clears. Then there is a line of trains towards San Jose Diridon, also all waiting behind red signals, and in San Jose Diridon there is a Cab Car Service that has a 'pass at restricted speed' (I believe, singal was one red on top flashing and 2 static reds below), but never passes that signal. I believe this service caused all of this.
    Also this was not a loaded save. Maybe someone can try and reproduce if they also get that bug?

    Is red-blinking red red not for proceed slow? Did you save and try?
    Edit: Sorry, misunderstood, forget about it

    Running service 257 to San Francisco, I got a double white indication at the single-headed ABS signal 247-1 (between Belmont and Hillsdale). The top light (green), as well as the bottom one (red), showed lunar white. I can only imagine, that this was a strange bug because US signals only show one color per signal head and I don't know of any indication, which uses two lunar white lights.
    (Forgot to take a screenshot of this)

    Also: Is it normal for the signals to show an Approach Limited one signal ahead of Advance Approach? Due to another train just a few blocks upfront, I ran mostly on yellow but while waiting at a station, the signal changed from Advance Approach to Approach Limited? Is this realistic or something of DTGs technical finesses which we all love?

    I can't answer for how it is in the real world but if you look at the Caltrain signalling rules it also makes sense, walking you down to a stop. If there's a train in front of you, they've advanced far enough ahead to change the signals.
    Approach Limited - Proceed prepared to pass next signal at limited -->
    Advance Approach - Proceed prepared to stop at second signal, begin reduction to limited speed after passing signal -->
    Approach - Reduce to medium speed, prepared to stop at next signal -->
    Stop

    Service 268 exit signal at San Fransisco is showing signal aspect wrong way around. Next signal showed Medium Clear, this signal must show Approach Medium (Yellow over Green) and not Green over Yellow.

    I ran the "UP3 Southbound Loaded Hoppers" service and encountered some bugs with the UP GP38. I did save & resume twice and it seems after resuming, the game got worse.
    There was one point where I was doing the grade crossing horn signal and then the horn just cut out - pressing the spacebar/using the actual lever in the cab would still trip the bell, but there was no horn audio. It did still work on the trailing GP38s, but the lead unit did not. There were a few times where the compressor start sound would get stuck in a loop. I believe this only happened if the bell was on at the same time, but not 100% on that.
    I had the "rolling" noises from the hoppers disappear (like the CSX issue that's also being discussed), I'd still hear the slack in the couplers and when it rolled over a switch. Weirdly I also could get them to come back on the free roam camera, but the cameras tied to the '2' and '3' keys either didn't have them, or would play it intermittently. Enough camera switching and they came back.

    And then, when I finally got to the yard you have to stop in, and went and uncoupled the cars, they all jumped forward and this happened: TSW_1566696379_00.png
    This is something I usually get when I do switching activities. The hopper cars (at least some of them) started making noise (equivalent to rolling down the track at a fast speed) - in the past I've also had the cars start shaking. Thankfully, I was able to get the locos away and finish the service, but I have in the past, when needing to couple back up to cars when this happens, had the train derail.

    I was able to duplicate the bug, both without and with a loaded save.

    Question in both of your cases did either of you press TAb to contact the signaler to get permission to pass the signal.

    I did, didn't help. After all there were a dozen trains in front of me lined up and waiting on signals as well

    I've noticed that a lot of the northbound services start from Diridon station at the wrong platform or at the wrong time. I has lead to some strange signalling down the line.

    So... I have 3 oddities so far (I'll have to check on the Menlo Park poster issue)
    1: The Map at Burlingame is unreachable
    TSW_Coppo_1567276545_00.png
    I have not been able to get any closer from this side of the building
    2: I found a crossing with the barriers up! (although the alarm was still sounding)
    TSW_Coppo_1567267260_00.png
    3: some flying trees
    TSW_Coppo_1567199569_00.png

    I've found a couple of "breakout" locations, but I still find the way the boundaries are set baffling, especially around station buildings...

    That is an "Approach Diverging" aspect, which means "proceed prepared to advance on diverging route at next signal at prescribed speed through turnout". Basically, a train passing that signal will need to slow down before the next signal to take the switched route.

    TSW_Coppo_1581793369_00.png This level crossing is still broken... :-(
    They could also do with a bit of matching the road to the trackbed...
    However, on the plus side, at least we know the barriers can work...

    I'm actually staggered that someone took the time to source, build, texture, and animate this model into the sim instead of merely grabbing one that they've already made. DTG has been very good at recycling assets, so why is this one new?

    Also, until your post, I hadn't even noticed the planes on this route, let alone the engine placement.

    An oddly behaving graffiti between Burlingame and Broadway stations. At least when driving an UP GP38-2, the graffiti projects itself on and into the loco/train.

    Yep, I posted the graffiti glitch before in the Brunel's Beard thread. Very odd.

    Is it just me or does the second F40 in 901 not work for anyone else? The train takes ages to get to speed using only one.
