That's not much of a defense: "It's just like a dangerously unsafe system from half a century ago." Not having PTC does not justify unsigned...
That's always been the case with the 143 (which "belongs" to RSN so was not part of the RT fixit pass)
It gets better: [IMG] Maybe not murder, but it isn't shoplifting either
Tees Valley Line has 2
Now this is a major mistake- far more than PIS layout: [IMG]
It's supposed to be AI only, it's not drivable
That's an Advance Approach Limited Medium Slow and Proceed signal.
It doesn't help that most US services take 90 or more minutes to complete
Simply carry on being a gentleman. And if someone takes umbrage, calmly observe that when we were brought up, we were taught manners.
I don't know that including every intermediate stop, as in the ICEs' "crawl" display, is really necessary or all that much in demand. It's simply...
Whenever the new system is installed on those (hopefully during the MSB upgrade which is going on as we speak), then the Dostos, cab car and 146...
When operating trains practically nose to tail -as they do during peak hours- the station blocks are protected by Stop-and-Proceed signals: full...
Your point being, I take it, that having a 112 with the wrong size headlight is equally as wrong as having a GP38 on Hamburg-Lubeck instead....
What the heck is this? The Bronze Age? The UK? Any system which relies on driver memorization is hopelessly primitive and ought to be illegal....
Yes, I understand how it is supposed to work. The thing is, the TSW model of it does NOT work that way. In fact, doesn't work at all. More...
Not at all. Frequently the ATC is reading 15 or 20 where the HUD says 40.
90 days Yes
Main circuit breaker? Some are reporting that as an issue
It's a matter of mimetic distance.
Again, I'm talking about the track signal, not the in-cab. Three lights in a vertical line: proceed at MAS. Smack into the stopped train.
You're missing my point. The trackside signal guarding the block entrance reads Proceed Clear. Not Stop. Not Stop and Proceed (which can...
Okay, didn't mean to imply that or to denigrate anyone. I use the HUD too sometimes (Clinchfield night services can't be driven without it, for...
It isn't just the ATC; the trackside signals are broken too. That's why I quit playing this route all the way back in TSW2020 and never returned...
The Dostos are layered in from MSB and RSN, which have not been worked on yet. They aren't actually part of the RT route.
And the signal would have been a hard Stop, or at most a Stop and Proceed. Certainly not a Proceed Clear!
How strange that people are complaining about shoplifting (the PIS boards) but not about murder (the unrepaired, totally bollixed-up signaling...
I also notice that in the scenario Change at Jamaica, the signals happily give me a Proceed Clear (at 80 mph) when entering a block occupied by a...
That's bullcrap. I always hated this stupid route, and I refuse to drive under Magic Speed Limits cast by an invisible wizard.
Again: shoplifting is not murder. Are you seriously equating a PIS with an inaccurate format to using British and American trains in the...
Didn't you know? Programming is magic. Wave a wand, perfectly represented PIS appears. All you have to do is care.
We have moved from one state of criminality (murder) to another state of criminality (shoplifting) You are seriously positing that all deviations...
Could somebody please explain where LIRR hides its speed limits? I don't mean the in-cab traffic-speed system, I mean the hard track limits (no,...
You think that matters to our collection of spoiled little children? WE WANT IT! WE MUST HAVE IT!
Making something new always requires more man-hours. That means either more men or more hours, or both.
Does "caring" conjure up more staff? Does "caring" add more hours to the day?
It's not quite so subjective as that: expectations which do not take into account the available resources are necessarily going to be unrealistic....
Cold beans from the tin... How much have I had to drink?
Again: you think Adam's little team had the time or resources to program a whole new PIS routine from scratch? Of course it's borrowed- I'm...
Oh, so Adam's team didn't program an entire new PIS routine different from the existing one. Shoot me now. While we're whingeing, we could bring...
If they're "completely incorrect," for the life of me I can't see how. Wrong number of dots used to form the letters?
Well, the topic has shifted a bit from what it was. Then we were talking about 100% bug-free releases, the effective impossibility of which I was...
BTW, I like that you've reproduced the sign outside. When will this be available for D/L?
Works for me
Also, apparently my legs have grown longer every time I sit down in an airline seat.
Because either the external camera clips, or they turn it off. The third option, leaving the camera usable outside the tunnel as we saw in the...
I certainly appreciate synthetic.angel's work on the Bakerloo bug, which represents a breakthrough and apparently has pointed DTG in the right...
That would be rather amusing- like hitching a thoroughbred racehorse to an oxcart
Fair enough- but then you also have to factor in the time required to accelerate back to line speed/vmax afterwards. Up to, say, 80 from 70 is no...
Quite so. The files are there; but the loading-screen routine is only showing one of the contest winners alongside the DTG splashes.
TS20xx isn't available on console at all
