Given that passenger numbers can be easily adjusted, I wonder why DTG don’t just create a slider in the options menu which allows each player to...
Normally it’s: green - OK Yellow - OK, but not continuously for an excessive amount of time Red - don’t go there It does vary a bit between...
Great to hear you say this, Matt. It doesn't need to be anything dramatic. Just adding a small amount of random variation to the dwell times for...
3 minutes and upwards. However, it’s the primary delay (delay to the train in question) plus the reactionary delay (delay to other trains as a...
It may be different at different companies, but at all of those which I have worked for, Drivers absolutely keep time - that is why they’re issued...
In terms of the clock, my train company issues all Drivers, Conductors and Dispatchers with a radio controlled watch, so that everyone is working...
Thanks Vern.
Thanks Vern, I appreciate you digging in the garage! I’ve put a request for this to be corrected on the relevant forum on the Rivet site as well....
For anyone interested, the answer is that you must stop within 10 yards of the game's stopping point - and it turns out that stopping point is...
Thanks Vern. Not the answer I was hoping for but saves me more time messing about trying to work out how to do it! I'll now go and mess about...
On West Cornwall loco hauled trains are formed of 9 coaches, plus loco. The correct position to stop Is therefore the 10 car board....
Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere. I did a search and couldn't find it. In the game, on the St Ives branch in the Up (St Ives to St...
Ah! I wasn't aware of that (I only just bought the Heavy Freight Pack, for the West Cornwall layers). I'll give it a try on NTP - thanks.
In EMUs of the generation of the 314, Drivers would go pretty much straight to notch 4 from a standing start (unless the speed limit was very low...
I took the plunge and got West Cornwall. If you have NTP and the Heavy Freight pack as well (and you can buy them very cheaply if not) then you...
It varies. I think some of the timetables are fictional as the Sectional Running Times do not seem like ones which would ever have been used in...
Please, no. The glory of steam is on the mainline, doing what it was designed to do, as a system of transportation. If all we’re going to be able...
Thanks for the great work, Joe. Can you (or anyone else) tell me - do the cl.313 ECS trains on Brighton Mainline have full schedules input, or...
A good point about driving economically (‘Eco-driving’ as it’s referred to where I work). One of the things some operators instruct is that, when...
Indeed - as I say, the policies I mention are in place with some UK operators but not all, so there will be variation. I don’t know what...
In the UK it varies from operator to operator, with some being more prescriptive than others. Most of the rules/guidance in place is there to...
Just a quick note to say ‘thank you’ to all who helped and made suggestions (and also possibly useful information for others) - I increased my RAM...
That would be fantastic. Driving the 1938 stock on a modern Bakerloo line is of no interest to me, but if someone produces a pack of retro mods...
Does it make a difference which month you play in? I wonder whether the rails are more slippery in October (currently the default, of course) and...
If I remember correctly, IRL approach release (where the signal remains at red until the train is detected to have reduced its speed sufficiently...
Thanks for the suggestion. I gave this a go, but it was marginally worse than DX11 for me.
It does that for me, when setting up the cab. I’ve never had an activation en route with the 387 so I can’t comment on that.
I’ve tried DX12 with BML. It gave me a huge improvement in FPS (moving it from almost unplayable, to very smooth). Unfortunately almost every time...
Yes, I have the same experience. I’ve found that normally I hear the click of the sunflower so know to acknowledge, but if it’s raining then the...
Thanks Cam. I gave it a go and it does seem to go above 2.7. I’ll get some more RAM and see whether that makes a difference. I’ve also done the...
I’ve checked in the BIOS and Intel turbo boost mode is enabled, so I assume that gives it the capability to boost above 2.7GHz?
Help needed, please! I think London - Brighton is an excellent route, but I suffer badly from low FPS and stuttering. I have some money to spend...
For me this is the case on all stock - not just the 377/387. It still enables you to cancel the AWS in plenty of time before the brakes come on,...
As for many people, it seems, for me London-Brighton is currently on the boundary between being playable and unplayable in terms of frame-rates...
If I understood them correctly, I think they were saying that the stock which comes with BML will have RailDriver support, but the stock, such as...
Agreed, well done Joe. What a fantastic effort. I particularly like the sound of the timings being a bit less tight. In real life, trains have a...
It varies from country to country, and also within countries. In the UK, on some routes (mostly minor routes) it’s done entirely manually by a...
We already have a route for high speed running with an HST - GWE is perfect for that. We lack a route to show off the HST’s power and braking...
Well, I agree entirely - VEPs, CEPs and the like would be incredible, but I suppose that’s a different discussion. Mind you, if a ‘DC Legends’...
And that’s not entirely unrealistic in that it’s true (in my experience) that UK trains today are cleaner than they were in BR days, internally...
I would have thought so, yes - on the SET services into Victoria. Better than nothing though, for some visual variety.
Looking back on that post, it was unfair only to mention the one negative from the screenshots. I should also say the level of detail looks...
All a bit clean for me - both trains and scenery. It looks like one of those artists impressions of what a proposed new development will look...
[removed by Protagonist - unhelpful]
Their answer is in post #17…
If the train I’m driving runs late, it deals with it fine. People also set up ‘chaos runs’ where they deliberately delay trains, and it deals with...
Absolutely. This would transform the game. It doesn’t have to be major events. Just a degree of randomisation of station dwell times would be...
She's planning what she's going to do to the Driver for making her late. Be afraid, Cam...
I'd rather have a full timetable in the base route, with the closest available train used where the correct one isn't available. This isn't...
Interesting... [SPOILER]
