Matt addressed this in a stream once. The real reason is that all the NPCs use a standard-size mannikin, and children would mean adding more in...
Has it occurred to you that Blackpool is a loss leader for Just Trains? That they want'ed to put their best foot forward with their first route,...
I have to agree. I avoided that route for a long time largely due to the bad press in here, but then it popped up on sale last month so I took a...
They're only 20 km apart. The problem is the big-ass mountains in between.
I still don't get why trains in depots are full
I seem to recall that, for reductions to speeds over 70, you don't have to acknowledge IF your current speed is already within 15 km/h of the...
Salzburg to Berchtesgaden would be a good route...
IIRC, RL Buchfahrpläne break the run into segments, with different Vmax based on the ruling grade in that segment. If you're taking a freight...
Well that was the original meaning, as you say. But by the 1930s (when all trains were walk-through and had been for years), the meaning morphed...
Bernina would be killer if it weren't a truncated half-route.
"R" or "Rapid" is used on passenger trains and light locos. "P" or "Personen" (passengers) isn't just for passengers! It's mostly used for...
Correct. The issue is preventing the possibility of a runaway, and being able to stop in time at line speed or close to it; short little...
Excellent! Do you have numbers for Voralberg, Maintal or Rosenheim?
Brilliant! Man, what a useful tool! One oddity, though: it seems that running light on a flat route, even the fast locos (101, 146.2, 182) come...
Longstanding bug. To beat it, go to the 8 (stationary) camera and wait or fly until you can no longer hear the horn. This resets the audio...
AIUI, steam physics are all run on Simugraph, which (in theory) can be configured to simulate anything from a railbus to a gas turbine. What it...
Again, PZB mode and Vmax are not directly related (save that Vmax necessarily can be no greater than the PZB limit). There is a VERY complete...
Issue summary: complete power failure on BR101 Platform: Steam Route: All Austro-German Service: Any Issue: after restoring from a save, the power...
The two are not actually related. It is entirely possible, indeed normal, to run a train under PZB Mode M, due to brake-weight calculation, but...
Well, not necessarily; often a flashing green is used to signal an upcoming reduction to, say, 100, which requires no acknowlegment. As a matter...
The 182 uses a female voice so it can't be Ingo- but I'm pretty sure it's not Chris Lohner's voice either.
I love these packs. Tell me- since we now have some vintage German routes, do you have any plans to make a Bundesbahn logo?
Unfortunately, I don't see much point to it, since all of Conrail's old territory is covered by NS and CSX which DTG already have licenses for....
I don't think a Class 143 corners especially briskly. Very hard to add power past the apex, and I would expect those tires to have limited grip.
There are two problems with that. One is the marketability of a DLC only usable by people who have bought a DLC (101) only usable by people who...
Back when I was into TSC, the Mittenwaldbahn was one of my favorite routes. Especially when linked upo to the München-Garmisch route.
Only the OBB 1016-1116-1216. Chris Lohner is and has been for years "Die Stimme der OBB." All their adverts, promo appearances, docu-ads,...
Still a piss-poor way to design a service. And ignoring the "wait one minute" often means the points aren't set correctly, so you'll run off-line.
Not in Journey.
It better bloody well include the cab car.
All right, figured it out. It's disabled in Journey mode.
All right, figured it out. Free Roam functionality is disabled in Journey mode. But this means that the Blackpool journey cannot be completed,...
No dice
Nope, doesn't do anything.
I am stuck in a shunting service and want to get rid of the offending AI train- but when I go into the map (either 9-key or via the pause menu) I...
Or does this only work if you have started in free roam, not in a timetable service? (BTW, I don't see any paths except my own blue line)
Nope, can't be selected. Click on it (or any other train), nothing happens.
Sow, how DOES one use free-roam functionality to delete an AI train?
Maybe a dumb question, but I have no idea how to delete an AI train that's in the way. I can't seem to select it in-camera or in the map.
OP02 Preston shunting: Not completeable. Red-light impasse with an oncoming train on the instruction "Stop at Signal PN94" Now, I note that...
Still have two of those. And IIRC, on older streams there was one on the bookshelves behind Matt.
Well, I don't know about that. This is an age of high mobility, and I would not be shocked to hear, say, a bus driver in Atlanta coming over the...
While that's true, DTG already have surveys in hand of the major types in service (SD70, AC4400, ES44)
What option D really requires is DTG giving us the same random-number container they use themselves
Your point is taken; but that would be true of a German as well- yet we are confronted with a 'mispronounced' recording allegedly from a German 182
The Acela was close to release whan Boston Sprinter came out, and was a planned addition. This is true of the 1116 on Salzburg, and was also true...
Oh, FFS! Do try to understand, older routes do not, and cannot, contain service layers for trains which were developed afterwards. Nor is it a...
Gee, what about Option D: "Each coach has its own unique number, painted on both sides"?
