Originally they wanted 1955, but couldn’t find enough reference material
In layman’s terms please?
I was speaking of German trains
Unfortunately, TSW lumps together two separate processes. IRL, the driver ordinarily only locks/unlocks the doors, using the rotary switch. It is...
Not sure why this bug would suddenly appear- the C40 to the best of my knowledge hasn't had an update in ages. Unless it was a SPG route update...
It has always seemed to me that the obvious fix is to increase the brightness of the "bright" setting, but have AI trains run on "medium" or "dim"
Correct. It's there for fully-fitted trains.
I suppose the issue is whether the WCML at present is actual "track" as a game asset, as opposed to purely graphical dummy track. If the latter,...
I would guess "Freigabe Links/Rechts"
IIRC, in 1958 the maximum speed for an express freight (Class 4, all fully-fitted wagons) was 60 mph. In 1962 it was increased to 75, but only...
There's your problem right there- you were slowing down to 38? You should have crested the summit at 30, tops.
That's simply not true. Track speed is a limit, not a target; and individual trains are absolutely restricted by a vmax which is calculated from...
I don't think it's a bug or a sound-channel issue- IIRC it's prototypical. At 10 km/'h and under the clack/flash tells the driver to unlock (not...
The RABe got the physics as well as the sounds pretty decently. It seems that Rivet's Achilles heel is diesel-hydraulic transmissions.
TSW doesn't model mechanical failure. Steam locos were speed limited because past a certain point they would pound themselves to pieces- or...
Except that there are no distant signals, where there should be. Notoriously, there is no distant at all between Speke and Ditton Junction - in...
Not to mention the fact that the train would only be usable on one short little route that most players can't be bothered to buy in the first...
Agreed. The 187 is I believe the only DLC I have chosen not to buy on "hopelessly borked" grounds, rather than simply "not interested." If it were...
Guys, there are lots and lots of websites out there if you want to talk politics. I come here to discuss trains and train simming. Please, take...
It is long past time we viewed people as individuals, not as mere avatars of some group identity. If we think a person is defined by skin color,...
It is for that reason Matt has stated that DTG will never do such a route. Which is different from doing a 1930s German route with black-red-gold...
“Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Winston Churchill (doomed to repeat George Santayana)
Speaking as a Southerner- there really isn't anywhere in the south which would be worth recreating. The only US passenger routes which make sense...
I can't say I agree. It's one thing simply not to show certain aspects of the past which are not presently acceptable, like widespread smoking -...
Almost certainly the rods or valve gear would have flogged themselves to pieces and flown apart long before you got it close to those speeds - but...
Query: are there key maps for controlling the steam brake and vacuum brake separately? It seems the risk of derailment could be appreciably...
It definitely happened to me before the patch- not only on DRA, but also on MSB (whose Habbiins aren't LD-compatible)
I suspect part of the problem is that in their attempt to "fix" the issue of buffer clipping, they have made buffer springback way, way too...
That's a really good suggestion- maybe the devs ought to look into this. Keymap a command which will (a) sound a whistle signal to the brakeman...
Yes. If I had to guess, I would say that they want to get steam simulation (including manual firing) completely sorted and community-tested...
Query: was it possible, and if so done more than seldom, to use negative reverser as a kind of dynamic braking on long downgrades?
Some engines have working hotplates....
In that case one would think they would have used the German system: place a sign on the usual side which means "it's on the other side!"
It's a result of trying not to strain the fragile early Dispatcher; if a station exit signal was left red until such time as a 'clear' trigger was...
Codes on the wagons. Fully fitted with vacuum brakes are marked XP. 16-ton mineral vans were for the most part completely unfitted (some were...
I would be underwhelmed if the Rivet offering turns out to be the 464. 1) I don't own IoW and don't intend to; and 2) as mentioned above, they...
I don't think ghost trains are new- I have noticed them before on German routes, freight trains with gaps or invisible cars in the middle. IIRC,...
While I enjoyed and appreciated the vid on recording live sounds for SoS, unfortunately they didn't follow it up with anything on the process of...
If this is the same as the similar bug which plagues or plagued London Commuter, it is a byproduct of a careless design practice which I thought...
Now that's nice! Some modeler spent a LOT of time on that.
Well - as you say later in your post - a loaded 8F shouldn't be doing over 45.
That's slightly unfair; Cane Creek is a very good route which was unjustly slagged by the torches-and-pitchfork mob for a couple of annoying,...
In a computer program, quite a lot. There is a big, big difference between "too low in the mix" and "not even coded." Think maybe of a remastered...
No announcement, but I thought that there was an Ultra High Priority week-one patch for SoS we were supposed to be getting?
Yes, definitely. But I still suspect that there is a missing distant signal between Ditton Junction and Speke.
Unless someone has a better idea, the only workaround I can think of would be to temporarily uninstall Sherman Hill
That works for livery changes to the same loco, but complete loco substitutions?
Another game-breaking bug. The scenario LDP-46 Part 2: Moab to Brendel (i.e. the return leg of the "dirt train") - If you have Sherman Hill...
HM and her ancestors stem from Harri ap Edmon Tudur. Of course, if we want to be snide about it, Wales' kings have sat in Westminster since the...
Well, in fairness, I think the label 'toxic' has less to do with position than manner. Some posters, while raising legitimate concerns, are doing...
