The issue is that when DTG make a new route, they can create layering timetables for locos that already exist in TSW, but they can hardly get out...
The vid was shot in 1992-93
For VERY slow-speed short moves, like in and out of a shop or onto a turntable, some diesel-electrics like the AC can be moved on battery power...
I believe in the non-streaming stream, Matt pointed out that on one of the spurs (Moss?) CRR used five leading and two helpers.
Oh, I know that; I was referring really to the fact that on the older UK diesels- still a decade newer than the F7! - while they do have automatic...
One tiny quibble on the light setup in the video: the #2 engine is an intermediate unit and ordinarily wouldn't show any lights. In theory, you...
Seine Englisch ist ausgezeichnet!
Interesting- it never occurred to me that with the banking pair it doesn't matter which loco is lead or which is trail, but I guess it doesn't! I...
It's a lead (#3), just without a #4 slave loco. A trail by itself that isn't coupled to a lead can't do anything! Being backwards, the only...
Well this is prose, not video, but I'll give it a go: Understand that we are setting up two things conceptually here: an MU or multiple unit,...
Jesus, I hope I'm never a passenger on a train you're driving!
It strikes me that players who want to prep for Clinchfield should drive not only SPG, but also NTP, TVL or DLGW: driving old-school diesels is a...
I do find it amusing that the engineer interviewed calls switchers "dinkies."
In a different vein, but wholly appropriate, try the soundtrack to this Clinchfield video: [MEDIA] (The band is the Steeldrivers)
Newer coaches use electrically initiated brake systems. Older coaches and freight wagons use pneumatically (air) initiated systems.* The switch...
Affirmative. 0 is for freight wagons, since no passengers will be pulling any handles!
Anyone who ever took wood shop in high school knows what a dovetail joint is
DTG also have an ÖBB license. They made the Mittenwaldbahn and the ÖBB 4020 EMU.
True, but those are global settings that affect everything on your computer.
While the 145 and the entire TRAXX family derive from the experimental 12X (BR 128), the 145 is expressly a freight locomotive, with axle-hung...
While this is the main line between Munich, Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna (and thus also the Brenner and Budapest), and sees a lot of traffic and...
On NTP it depends what you're driving. I can do it with a Class 45, but the 47 on the same services is too sluggish.
What with Hamburg-Lubeck, and HMA not all that long ago, it's a bit soon for another German route. But Austrian? That could be interesting.
IIRC, there are no PZB indicators in the cab of the 204, except the yellow and red magnet lights on the PZB box (apparently this box was a...
Give us loco painters 24 hours
As much as I tend to defend DTG in most things, their documentation is very sub-par.
BTW, does anyone know when the next patch will release?
The FT was the original EMD F-unit, the predecessor of the F3, F7 and F9. [IMG] (Incidentally, I stand corrected: the 1939 prototype didn't have...
He has hinted over the last 2 or 3 Roadmap streams that DTG were finalizing their list of DLCs for the coming year (6 routes, plus locos), and he...
The problem with that is that the 204 is Rivet, not DTG.
Pretty much every single Class I RR and most of the smaller ones operated F-units. That's a LOT of potential liveries (in 1950 there were 40...
Regenerative braking (which is what re-feeding the grid is called) is a newfangled eco-thing. Dynamic braking is a means of controlling a train,...
Pretty much.
Especially since during the last Roadmap stream Sam said, in effect, "I can't say that we're doing an Amtrak route, except we are, but I can't say...
Before any of those (except text boxes and random road-number fields), what LD absolutely, positively needs is 1) Layer flattening, to keep layer...
It would at least eliminate complaints about distant scenery.......
US freight route? [IMG]
Again, if it's something which won't be released for months, it won't affect the roadmap at all. It could just be something like a TSW2.1 next...
Despite what Hollywood apparently would have people believe, a very great deal of Mexico is tropical rainforest.
One thing I find bizarre about that picture: it appears that CSX had very recently repainted the yellow step rails, while not even bothering to...
I can't run to time in the BR 101 in either NTP or TVL, nor NTP passenger runs with the Class 47: the things simply do not accelerate quickly...
Unfortunately, foliage.DitheredLOD does absolutely nothing about the bloody shadows, which still pop in like a brick to the head.
While I understand why Sam re-organized the forums the way he did, I think that we really, really need a TSW2 (Platform-Independent) forum, and...
That would be 3 weeks since the last one. Has it been delayed for some reason?
That's rather a distortion of what I am trying to say: I am responding to those PC Supremacists who are quite openly and brazenly calling on DTG...
A very effective tool for reducing the impact of tree pop-in, at low performance cost, is foliage.DitheredLOD=<X>, X being a time in seconds;...
Yes; but like HS1, it will have some kind of in-cab signaling system.
My question is what constitutes a "mod." Obviously a third-party .pak file which retextures buildings or reskins rolling stock is right out. But...
Okay, let's do the calendar: March 23, roadmap. Arosa is "next arrival" while Clinchfield and Hamburg-Lubeck are "upcoming." March 25, Arosa...
I'm not quite sure what you're saying. In many cases, 'layered' locos will substitute in on existing timetable services. If you mean playing a...
Separate names with a comma.
