There are some consists which 7400 hp just can't drag up the hill. The rule of thumb is total hp/train weight >= maximum % grade on the route....
Use the 3 or 8 camera* and fly inside the caboose; there you can read the brakeman's pressure gauge, which gives BP pressure at the rear. This is...
I suspect the problem isn't Sifa, but the 363's built in safety governor. If you have the transmission in shunting mode, exceeding 25 km/h will...
There will be 3 separate timetables, selectable the way ECW + 313 and the new SKA timetable are. 1) The original BKL timetable; 2) the Rivet 38...
First question: whose signal rules are you using to interpret the aspects? CSX has three different sets; on Sand Patch the rules for former...
Control-plus and control-minus. Also, control-zero puts you back in the driving cab.
PC Game Pass? Did you by any chance download the TSW2020 version?
In Germany, over 160 is not permitted, anywhere, except under LZB/AFB control.
Even back in the old days of timetable-and-train-orders, the watch - The Official Watch - was kept by the conductor, not the engineer. And he...
The thing is, one-route-at-a-time has always been the way DTG worked on TSW, until late last year when they were able to develop Sherman Hill and...
A GREAT indy game (if you like mind-bending puzzles) is The Outer Wilds (not Fallout-in-Space Outer Worlds; Wilds)
The basic issue was that somewhere in the Burlington-Santa Fe merger that created BNSF, the IP rights for North America and the IP rights for the...
Yes. Roughly halfway between Bingen and Koblenz.
Matt addressed this. Because there will be a big core update associated with SoS, they want to test the Pres Cr upgrades under the new system and...
No point in including the rather ugly industrial section between Mainz and Frankfurt, which isn't "Rheinstrecke" anyway; and the portion from Köln...
Okay, linke Rheinstrecke, Koblenz-Bingen. Bundesbahn era, 1960s-80s. [IMG]
The update hasn't been released yet and won't be for some time yet
Without poles, what will the strippers dance on? Oh, right. Never mind....
Sadly, the headlights on Clinchfield are about as effective as having the conductor stand on the front platform with a lit match.
Four more southern England routes. That will really make the Jocks and the Northumbrian lads happy........
Fair point.
It looks really appetizing; but to me the sheer quantity of new stuff rather more strongly enforces my "never on Day One" policy. There are going...
Unless your hard drive is tapped out
That wouldn't really be an "extension," though, because it would not extend the Bakerloo proper nor extend runs with the Tube Stock. It would...
Certainly the recommissioning of the Iowa-class battleships in the 1980s would have been considerably easier had their WW2 builders made provision...
Except that is no longer true. It was true of TSW1, but now the routes "everybody has" are SKA, Sand Patch and Bakerloo. Bakerloo can't be...
I am however mildly concerned that in the teaser video, we only saw steam from the funnel, and none from the cylinders, valve gear or the other...
Scenario Editor 2.0 and Livery Designer 2.0 have been back-burnered but are not dead. Back when Creators Club was announced, Matt (IIRC) said...
Wait, what? I watched the stream, but don't recall Matt discussing this.
Ah, OK. I misread 16tph between Elephant & Castle and Queens Park (Off-peak) 8tph that continue to Stonebridge Park 4tph that go all the way to...
Possibly, but they'd have to develop an Amtrak diesel. Unless they want to go vintage and use F40s.
28 tph over a 14 mile route is a lot of traffic
Newer D/Es use traction inverters which obviate the need for transitioning
At least in the US, they're like searchlights. They absolutely are there to help the engineer see.
It shouldn't be a problem. Mod .pak files are designed to auto-load when the route or rolling stock they are tied to load.
Just a difference in the way the system is implemented. The EMD way was to momentarily disconnect the traction motors to avoid "dumping the...
All diesel-electrics do it. Any of the NTP and TVL diesels show the same behavior (except the 101, natch)
If your goal is to upgrade your car's performance, and your list is something like 1 install exhaust headers 2 install sport ignition 3 replace...
The timetable was not the hard part, upgrading the Dispatcher was the hard part. Since that is considered a core upgrade, the amount of...
The reference is to the amount of work needed. Some things with a huge impact are really quite simple. Adding a new timetable to a route isn't all...
The irony is that IRL the Paris-Marseilles TGV is the only one that doesn't lose money.
And this is why game studios shouldn't include controversies.
...aaaand he completes the predictable argument. "I am SO very right, so ineffably Correct, that anyone who disagrees with my opinion - no, Fact...
Do you mean therefore that those who wish to maintain the status quo are not political? If so, then by your argument when in 1967 Parliament...
I'm not even British. ;)
So you are asserting that "showing support for a minority group" transcends the political? Or, rather, are you attempting to claim it as a...
Hmm. You were the one who asserted that anything to do with "equality" was beyond the merely political. Perhaps your definition is a trifle broad?
Tell me: in your opinion, would "Abolish the House of Lords and the peerage" be a political statement? It is, after all, a call for equality.
I'm not bothered, triggered, upset or anything else, nor do I have the least problem with gay people. I am however nonplussed by people insisting...
Comment on your skills as a driver, that is.
