Almost certainly the rods or valve gear would have flogged themselves to pieces and flown apart long before you got it close to those speeds - but...
Query: are there key maps for controlling the steam brake and vacuum brake separately? It seems the risk of derailment could be appreciably...
It definitely happened to me before the patch- not only on DRA, but also on MSB (whose Habbiins aren't LD-compatible)
I suspect part of the problem is that in their attempt to "fix" the issue of buffer clipping, they have made buffer springback way, way too...
That's a really good suggestion- maybe the devs ought to look into this. Keymap a command which will (a) sound a whistle signal to the brakeman...
Yes. If I had to guess, I would say that they want to get steam simulation (including manual firing) completely sorted and community-tested...
Query: was it possible, and if so done more than seldom, to use negative reverser as a kind of dynamic braking on long downgrades?
Some engines have working hotplates....
In that case one would think they would have used the German system: place a sign on the usual side which means "it's on the other side!"
It's a result of trying not to strain the fragile early Dispatcher; if a station exit signal was left red until such time as a 'clear' trigger was...
Codes on the wagons. Fully fitted with vacuum brakes are marked XP. 16-ton mineral vans were for the most part completely unfitted (some were...
I would be underwhelmed if the Rivet offering turns out to be the 464. 1) I don't own IoW and don't intend to; and 2) as mentioned above, they...
I don't think ghost trains are new- I have noticed them before on German routes, freight trains with gaps or invisible cars in the middle. IIRC,...
While I enjoyed and appreciated the vid on recording live sounds for SoS, unfortunately they didn't follow it up with anything on the process of...
If this is the same as the similar bug which plagues or plagued London Commuter, it is a byproduct of a careless design practice which I thought...
Now that's nice! Some modeler spent a LOT of time on that.
Well - as you say later in your post - a loaded 8F shouldn't be doing over 45.
That's slightly unfair; Cane Creek is a very good route which was unjustly slagged by the torches-and-pitchfork mob for a couple of annoying,...
In a computer program, quite a lot. There is a big, big difference between "too low in the mix" and "not even coded." Think maybe of a remastered...
No announcement, but I thought that there was an Ultra High Priority week-one patch for SoS we were supposed to be getting?
Yes, definitely. But I still suspect that there is a missing distant signal between Ditton Junction and Speke.
Unless someone has a better idea, the only workaround I can think of would be to temporarily uninstall Sherman Hill
That works for livery changes to the same loco, but complete loco substitutions?
Another game-breaking bug. The scenario LDP-46 Part 2: Moab to Brendel (i.e. the return leg of the "dirt train") - If you have Sherman Hill...
HM and her ancestors stem from Harri ap Edmon Tudur. Of course, if we want to be snide about it, Wales' kings have sat in Westminster since the...
Well, in fairness, I think the label 'toxic' has less to do with position than manner. Some posters, while raising legitimate concerns, are doing...
OK, then, bring on the deletion. You want to pick a fight, lad? Your post sounds like it is made by a conceited- indeed smug - child, who has no...
If I responded with an appropriate fisking of that comment, Sam would delete it.
Why am I not surprised?
The use of insulting terms like "fanbois" is unhelpful. Certainly it does nothing to persuade fencesitters to come around to your point of view.
Me too, in different circumstances, and several other people as well. I am beginning to believe that there is a missing distant signal, since...
They seem very similar to me, so much so that one wonders why two classes so alike were deemed necessary

Had exactly the same problem, but on PC, so it's not a matter of PS5 draw distance. Is there a missing distant signal?
Nope, didn't work.
Yes, happened to me too.
One manual firing is implemented, then the water valves together with the injectors will be things. For now, though, boiler water level is AI...
They shouldn't have been set up that way; in real life, completely unfitted wagons went at the back, for obvious reasons; next to the engine came...
One your steam chest pressure is close to maximum, back off the regulator.
He's referring to Scenario Editor setups with the Off The Rails box ticked. Regular services play by real-world rules.
By the time you get close to line speed your reverser should be dialed back to 20-25%. Otherwise you are applying way too much torque to the drivers.
Unplayable? Stop drama-queening. Crosshair size is not a game-breaking issue. You win this week's Unintentional Irony prize.
75% reverser is stump-pulling torque: in other words you'll spin in the wet. Back it off.
I have a suspicion that the in-game 612 doesn't match the real one's acceleration.
Which if true is very disappointing; DTG need to STOP that practice.
All right, already ran into a problem: in the signaling tutorial, I'm happily steaming along, getting the beast up to nearly 40 mph, when I pass a...
Well, the impossible dream is the one in my avatar, the funky little BR E 69. In service amazingly from 1905-1982; 001 was the first AC-supply...
Just 2 years and a bit and she will have the world record (Louis XIV, 72 years 111 days)
