I'll have to do another test but on our development build. I think there was a bug with the Acela...but i'm not sure right now. Been chasing...

Ehh, it depends on who came over. I provided some great reference material for the decoration side of things and there's a lot of videos on...

The beta team provided everything the team needed. The team has plenty of local experts (engineers and other employees included). DTG didn't need...

100% correct. That's where the side mirrors and actual conductors would come into play. Not only would the engineer use the side mirrors to see...

Here's my recording of the blowers while sitting in the secondman's seat. The door directly behind me was open and then was closed as we were...

Dispatch beyond instruction likely not ticked. That would be a timetable issue.

I'm definitely pretty ignorant of most physical characteristics and special instructions here. Once i get to grips with the manual lap brakes,...

Not for the Acela, unfortunately. In real life there are some sets that get stored in Southampton Street Yard overnight.

Ran this service in my livestream last night and there are definitely issues with how the commuter train in front of you gets routed. I wholly...

Yeah you did an amazing job with this train! Been a pleasure working with you. Thanks for this detailed write-up!

Something weird happened recently because I remember that being fine when I did my signal setup pass last week. It's been reported and being...

No overhaul was possible. That's the timetable.

It's a bug. I just finished reporting it to the team via official means.

Per my reply to you on Discord, I remember Paul (trainsimulatordriver) saying that there's a weird order of operations with the reverser and...

That's a new one. Can you record footage?

It's not the PCS. ACSES is de-energizing the magnet valve for the brakes during a penalty brake application. So upon penalty, the brakes go to...

That service (Amtrak #177) does not have "permanent yellows" like you say. You're following a commuter train so you're going to get signal...

The team really did a fantastic job overall. Not perfect by any means, but it's of exceptional quality overall.

Yeah. I think the Equalizing Reservoir needs to be 94 or lower. If you watched the stream then you know I'm horrible with brakes. For Amtrak...

It's confusing, I know. I typically just do service 50% and that braking rate satisfies the system.

Should work in Boston to Providence but it doesn't due to a bug right now. Though you'd most commonly see it with the stop signal after...

There are still a couple oddities when it comes to silencing the alarm and satisfying the safety system. Just do the suppression and...

No idea. What works for some doesn't work for others. It helps if you post exact service/scenario names so they can be further investigated. I...

Can you clarify which signals? Do you mean the home signals for Tower 1 (up in the signal bridge)?

Sounds like a lot of this is just dispatcher stuff. Signals can't do anything if the dispatcher gets hosed.

I don't think the HUD takes into account equipment restrictions. You can go over 80 with safety systems turned on, you're just not supposed to....

Not functional in game, but setting throttle to idle and opening the Main Circuit Breaker is just something you can do to enhance realism.

ACSES on the F40 SDU maxes out at 90mph. While the loco is rated for this speed, the coaches are limited to 80, hence the MBTA requirement to not...

Not intended. It got flipped somehow. I remember someone reporting that a while back during testing.

I didnt feel the need to bring up the cab conformity issues mid-stream since we're aware of them internally. Good catches though. Thank you =)

Lack of time/resources. [edited - JD - language] excuse but it's the truth.

I wasn't too focused on it. I know the timetable issues, so there wasn't any point in stressing over it.

I agree. Timetables are ridiculously complicated to get right. Plus, they take a lot of time to compile and save.

The timetable is something I want to look at in my spare time. With the signal restrictions, timings are impossible in many cases.

Agreed that the emptiness brings down the immersion.

If everything was completely clear like you say, then you should be dropped to Restricting (20mph) just before the station platform. There's an...

Yeah there are many timings in the timetable that need rework.

The signal issue you reported is actually working as intended and I'll explain why. At scenario start, there is an MBTA commuter train about 3...

Are you sure you actually received the update? Also, what service were you operating. I highly doubt you'd get a drop to 45 for "no reason".

C100 is not implemented anywhere that I can find. CS60 is commonly used in areas where block spacing is especially close (Newark Penn to Secaucus...

I appreciate the praise. But please don't think of me as the guy that'll fix all US content. I do have timetable experience but will not touch...

The horn recordings were done last November and sound really great in my opinion. I don't think any of the testers have talked negatively about...

It's a bit macabre, but it doesn't necessarily depict violence. It does seem kinda out of place though.

I have no idea. Cant find a reference to it anywhere

Idk where these rumors come from. The sounds came from a variety of sources (I don't have a list). A friend of mine got me several recordings...

You mean SEPTA license. Easy mistake since they have neither SEPTA nor MARC licenses.

Rated for 150mph for regular day-to-day passenger travel.

To be clear, i never scripted any component of ACSES. I just provided feedback and source documentation to give direction to the DTG employee...

I honestly do not know.

Just so you're aware, I fixed Boston signaling on my own. It wasn't initiated by DTG. It was something I wanted to do not only to fix Boston,...
