A gamey solution, which is not possible in real life. The correct method is to set everything to 0 (auto brake in emergency, loco brake full app,...
Already exists on PC. I'm not sure why consoles don't get this feature
5 mph would have been way way too fast. Are you sure you weren't thinking in km/h? On most US RR, 3 mph is the absolute maximum allowed, and the...
Do you mean during coupling?
Oh, the increase/decrease could be engineered digitally, that's a piece of cake. The problem is game controls: that the spacebar or whatever the...
Most F7s had this- it was a factory option- because EMD always intended F-units to be operated in A-B or A-A multiple units. The rear horn rope...
Maybe not. This is true in SPG, OSD and with the UP GP38, but the F7 had 24RL brakes and thus Trail 24 might be necessary in some Clinchfield...
Part of the problem here is that in game it's controlled by a simple on-off button or key, whereas in real life the engineer had gradual control...
It was built in 1948. Safety systems? Back when cars didn't have seat belts, doctors endorsed cigarette brands, and small children were...
CSX inherited several F7s and F9s when it was formed. All were quickly retired (by the late 80s they were wholly obsolete), but CSX kept one A-B...
You can do the tutorial: all you have to do is go into the rear cab and set the cutout valve on the brake stand to cut out, like it's supposed to...
The Sand Patch ascent used to belong to the B&O in the old days, and the Washington to Chicago Capitol Limited ran over it. However, if I'm not...
DTG really like round numbers, so when you go into the pause screen, if it says you have 33 pieces of rolling stock, that's almost certainly 30...
I had even more "fun" than most, because I let the fully-loaded complete consist get away from me and only (barely) stopped it after it had backed...
Believe me, you'll be kept plenty busy. Gravity is a bigger challenge than speed
MUCH NEEDED FIX FOR THE F7: Applies to many other locos across TSW, but driving Clinchfield it's especially aggravating. There has to be a...
In RL, the only rule is that you have to stop where you can see the signal, and the back of your train has to be clear of any points or...
Read the posts above. It's a setup issue in the tutorial (only)
They more or less have: Matt's post yesterday describing how the coach and coupler physics were all screwed up really stuck it to them, in the...
That's correct: the screen is simply wrong. It wants yards input, not feet like it says.
Continual problem across TSW: not only are objectives too close to signals/buffers, but many (not all, just many) won't trigger unless you are on...
As Matt said in the stream, they have the raw sound file for the S3L, it's just a question of getting it mixed and they'll include it in a patch,...
Controls the horn on the other engine.
Hardly game breaking! But the menu screen for Limited Power has it starting at Blue Diamond and going to Allen Storage, when it's the reverse
Welcome to Virginia in spring! DTG have very carefully modeled the fact that you can wash your windshield, and five minutes later it's caked with...
In that regard, all I can envision happening is DTG releasing an Amtrak diesel route, and then layering the loco and coaches into the SPG...
1st April, Nat?
The very name, Livery Designer, suggests that what DTG had in mind was players inventing their own fictional liveries; some players have invented...
" First of all, without sharing options, they're completely useless to 95% of the playerbase" Not entirely true, at least for PC users. Sharing...
Already being done. But it's a long process.
Yes, they do; but SKA doesn't model any of that. They would have to do a route or route extension to include them.
Man, damned if they do, damned if they don't! Given all the threads about "why should we have to suffer with nerfed graphics because of old...
Depends which end of spring- early March or late May? (I have noticed that TSW's day and year cycle seem to be British- behave according to their...
No. I live in Virginia, and it's pretty darn close. Heck, they even added dogwood trees. Dogwoods! Only problem with the forests is there isn't...
Just finished the first scenario, Limited Power: WOW! DTG seem to have raised their game in the game design department, as well. I love that...
Those would be some hellacious extensions: [IMG]
Popping the PCS happens- it's annoying, but recoverable. Often you haven't even done anything wrong, just coupled to a long string of cars (since...
Good point. It still has the old tunnel and Heigenbrucken station, which were bypassed by the new tunnel in 2017.
It's a bug, Matt pointed out in today's stream that it's a bug, and it should be fixed in the first patch. (It only affects the tutorial; it...
Passenger works fine, and may be preferable with a short consist, or even a medium consist of empties. The freight setting makes the brakes apply...
A good idea; but I'm not sure DTG's license agreement with DB would allow them to put HVLE trains in the game. Same problem with the Abellios on...
I'm not sure why the F7A and F7B are separate locomotives here, but it's a mistake. They are almost always done in sets; as it is it would be a...
Exactly. It's a little silly to have CSX engines with (permanent) cab numbers that don't match the (randomized) number plates.
Wouldn't be very interesting, since on the modeled route the player could only drive them from Hackerbrucke as far as Laim or Pasing before they...
breblimator: " Hah! I would have to modify the one already placed... :) Masterpiece. Eat the coal, feel the grade." Oh, no. That one is a quip....
What gets me is that the negative reviews are about the same trivial picky LOVE we get so much of on here: "horn lacks reverberation" and so on....
You certainly can't compare the puny little hydraulic brakes on a car! When we are talking about trains, no, 50 tons might as well be a Thomas...
Because a mere 50 tons of carriages might as well be a chain of paper dolls. It's nothing.
Meh. The ES44s and pre-2015 SD70ACes are better locomotives. Tier 4 standards have nerfed the engines as badly as early-70s emission controls...
DTG could fairly easily do the ubiquitous BR 644, the diesel Talent, which does Regio duties all over Germany's non-electrified lines.
Separate names with a comma.
