In 1971? Really? I thought the 120 was the first.
To begin with, it's a tap-changer - no thyristors or computer controls in 1971! (The tap changes are "hidden" within the control lever, but it's...
In-game, make sure you are signed into Dovetail Live, then click on the CReators Club button. Any livery or scenario in there you like, click on...
Actually, this DOES include the Pres Crew updates for Bakerloo and SKA (also for SPG for what it's worth, although it's just a Raildriver tweak.)...
Well, yes. It would be anachronistic to run them on HMA in their original fit! (In actual fact, the refurbs all came from Stuttgart; the original...
I find that in most cases median is a better expression of the overall reality, except with near-liner distributions. With anything like an...
I'm looking forward to this one out of pure nostalgia- I remember when the very first ones entered service on the brand-new München S-Bahn, built...
München Hauptbahnhof is disturbingly underpopulated, for the third-busiest station in Germany. Part of that, of course, is due to much of the...
With the caveat that increasing the train brake set without releasing costs you nothing- it's releasing the brakes that vents the system. I find...
As I recall the report on the Cajon derailment, the trailing MU engineer panicked and (on his own) decided to pop the emergencies.
Sometimes you have to pixel-hunt a bit. The "Reverser" white dot in the screen shot isn't the right one- that's the one for setting the reverser...
I should also have mentioned that the busyness of München-Augsburg depends a great deal on what other German routes/trains you own. By itself...
I'm not sure I understand why BART would troll Elon Musk
Wow, very different routes! Completely depends on what you like better, Sand Patch or Köln-Aachen.
The impression I get is that QA is a company asset and doesn't fall under Matt's chain of command as TSW Poobah.
If nothing else, they at least should break the autogenerated flag into three, so one has an idea whether it's for copyright or for naughty words....
Check your graphics card's control panel
True. Odd.
Weird. To get to the 'settings' button, try using your arrow keys instead of the mouse, then hit return. That works for me when my screen...
The basic point Sam's making is that "miles" is the wrong unit of measure, it's "minutes."
I would fully expect a core update to prepare for Harlem. That's SOP. Whether any Preserved updates come with it-- who knows? I'll believe it the...
Interesting- the "Featured" liveries right now include a (very nice) F7 redone in Pennsylvania RR Brunswick Green). Now, PRR was merged into Penn...
Especially since there has been personnel turnover and the guy who did it originally may not even be there any more.
On Clinchfield, they fixed the brake-setup and number-plate bugs fairly quickly. But nothing else, and nothing since.
Go into "Settings". At bottom right there should be a button "Log out of Dovetail Live." Then when you quit and restart the game you should get...
I think Sherman is a different category: simply a route that hasn't sold well.
Given the Season Pass, and then subsequent bundles, it appears DTG are pushing the Rush Hour routes as a loss leader. For whatever marketing...
Like that's different from any other US route
It reminds me of the comment made by an architect at the time of Penn Station's destruction- "One used to enter the city like a god. Now one...
El Cajon was a goat-rope for the reasons Paul listed: defective loco, inadequate handoff, sick crewman- but the first was the core reason,...
I really don't understand why the MTA can't give GC's platforms a facelift along the lines of London Victoria's or München Hauptbahnhof's lower...
This is like the last 3 services in the BR 363 Journey: broken in Journey mode (pathing and objectives don't load); but perfectly doable from...
They do appear in Scenario Planner, but only after you've set up the service start and end points when you choose your consist.
How much dynamic to set is situational: the operative term, mentioned above, is "wiggle room" - do you have some extra braking left in reserve,...
Depends on one's personal definition of dark. To me, GC's platforms are grim and gloomy. DTG's version is grim and slightly more gloomy.
At a guess, I would say Sherman Hill has not sold especially well, because (1) there aren't all that many US freight fans out there, especially...
But did it pass QA? It could have been sent back for more work, like the Peninsula Corridor update was.
Cathcart. Hamburg-Lübeck is dull.
You have to give Nat credit for poking some sore spots on streams. Just not as pointedly as Sam does.
Four waypoints I think DTG need to place on their map, if they are not going to find themselves dealing with declining interest: 1) Increase,...
Not quite sure what the difficulty with painting the rear would be. Although I think I would have painted it from the side and projected it...
The RW photo is taken from at least 100 yards farther away, and the beginning of the curve-out is effectively out of frame __________________...
The two shots aren't taken from the same spot. In the RW photo, the part shown in the TSW screenshot is barely visible.
I have no problem with a short route if it's well done. I like HRR. And even a short route with only one train, if it's really well done. Cathcart...
Judging by the second video attached to the article, its launch is quite realistic (and smooth, with no Ge 4/4 lurch)
Since at start your locos aren't connected to the cars, applying train brake doesn't accomplish anything. Loco brake is enough. The key thing is...
Say what you want about Rivet, their rolling stock 3D visual modeling is always top-flight.
Comes and goes in waves. I scooped up several at the New Years' sale because of the bargain-basement prices that really hadn't and didn't...
Yup. Notice though the corollary to Diagram 4: the air that was in the brake cylinder was vented off to the atmosphere and is lost. It has to be...
