Mind you, Clinchfield's signals were supposedly weird and unlike any other railroad's. So what you take to be an "approach" may actually be a...
You tried to do it while some part of the train was in a tunnel. In that case, just like the external cameras, leaning out the window is...
Sorry, I disagree. Changing switches from a moving train is not on. Especially since it is completely unrealistic.
^This. DTG have improved their product. Clinchfield is IMO their best route to date. Is it perfect? No. But what sort of mentality expects DTG...
Who is blind, the one pleased that the glass is 7/8 full, or the one complaining that it's 1/8 empty?
Yes, Zawal. Minor problems. And it's hardly news that some people like to post bad reviews on Steam whining about trivial little LOVE. Screw 'em....
This was very cool and unexpected. Clinchfield, The Setup scenario. I'm backing a rake through the Dante switchyard, head out the window looking...
OK, this is inexcusable. Much as I love this route overall, now I'm angry Scenario Fremont Ascent. 700 yards from the end, after an hour of...
You have run into the Great Mystery of Clinchfield: how to set up distributed power. The familiar way from SPG makes use of a button on the radio...
Transformer boxes hum when you get near them
Oh, no, the real road could never be like that. It's not as if rural roads can be weird or wonky or anything [ATTACH] God forbid DTG's QA don't...
1) The unit selector switch is ornamental. In -game it has no effect on anything 2) Are these 3 locos all in one MU coupled together, or is one...
This thread took this left turn because I responded to I probably should have directly replied to "gone downhill", and then as one side point...
I think that is an entirely logical explanation, since from 1955-64 002 and 003 did serve as shunters, in Munchen, Rosenheim and then Heidelberg....
Nobody, at least in America, is going to ride a train for 8 hours when they could fly there in two. Therein lies the problem with high-speed rail:...
FURTHER OBSERVATIONS Two days in, and I am liking this bonanza of a route more and more. Take a bow, DTG. Well done. Jolly well done indeed....
But can you prove it's your own material that you collected on your own? Without a paper trail, DTG doesn't dare use it.
You're increasing the throttle too early. That's overtorquing the wheels and generating slip. Keep it at 3 and be patient. Throttle up when the...
We have no need of one. The only reason they are being built now is because politicians are susceptible to lobbyists. Besides, the private...
That's correct- until the late '80s. It was then that the FRA started seriously enforcing a rule that every piece of equipment that was mounted...
Matt explained this in both livestreams. The reason the switch was there on real locomotives was because the voltage signal which communicated...
All right, here's a really, really, really nitpicky complaint: the classification lights on the F7. There's actually no need for them here at...
Oh, yes they fade. In certain extreme cases, they can melt! Unfortunately, this is NOT modeled in TSW (yet). What this means is that players...
which puzzles me still. The basic system (up through 1970) was pretty straightforward: most coaches and electric locos were chromium green...
Slightly fictionalized, since the big Start switch in the cab is a game invention. IRL, it would be started in the engine compartment like the...
You mean, has somebody gone out and found them all just 36 hours after release?
To date, until somebody publishes a guide, I don't think we know what was "correct" on the Clinchfield. I have heard that their signaling system...
And there is one place on the Clinchfield- farther south than the modeled route- which takes 14 rail miles to cover 1.9 miles straightline distance!
There is no "correct side" to a caboose. They're bidirectional (the fact that the cupola is closer to one end is due to internal layout, it has...
That is a mistake- but since the Unit Selector switch is purely ornamental and has no in-game effect on anything, it doesn't really matter.
This is something which definitely requires some explanation.
That part went OK- max dynamics, plus regular train brake to drop the speed to 5 mph, lather, rinse, repeat. Eventually it flattened enough that...
May not be one. The "fuse" in the SPG version is fictional: in reality, the alerter can't be turned off.
I wound up splitting the train, pulling half up and then down the other siding, reclaiming the back half and getting it off the switch, then going...
How much does the pause screen tell you the total train weight is? You should be able to calculate the per-car weight from that. (I wouldn't...
The SD38 and original SD40 are pretty much identical on the outside, except for the roof fans
A theory. I wonder if Sam or Matt or some member of staff would comment? I have just an inkling that perhaps back when the decision was taken to...
Can anyone point to a website which explains CRR's signaling system?
Well, Type 24RL and 26L are two different brake systems. 26L is auto-lapped, and it's the one which has been used by every American loco released...
When you need massive tractive force, the shunt position is like shifting down into low gear. I found it useful in the Limited Power scenario.
Supposedly, somebody on staff reads all the forums
I blame the BBC's abandonment of BBC English.
True enough- but how was the sound obtained? If the individual was trespassing on RR property, that's a problem-- and DTG can't prove he wasn't.
IN SPG it's modeled by having an interactable button on the radio which abstracts voice comms between front and rear. But that apparently isnt...
Correct. But leaving out those steps is less likely to get someone killed than leaving the brakes off and the engine in gear!
Oh, naughty, naughty Matt! SD40 tutorial- you actually have the driver leave the cab with no brakes set and the reverser not in neutral??????
Chaucer would probably disapprove of most every spelling in the OED. April not Aprille?
Fabulous work!
IIRC, the 'dual horn' setup were controlled by a single valve, it was just a way to project the sound in both directions. Later cluster-bell horns...
No, the problem is reading comprehension. The fact that the dynamics shut off after the air system passes X pressure (which used to be the case...
Separate names with a comma.
