This is the Great Unsolved Mystery of CRR

Clinchfield's signals were very nonstandard.

Whoops, you're right. Momentary confusion with the F3/F7. But 1965 is still quite a long time ago.

No, not really. The point is, you could very well record a passing train from public property. But DTG don't know that you did. You have no...

Biggest problem in the pic is that in the '70s, Wise County back roads wouldn't have had center stripes. Many still don't.

Seriously? They did that in 1948? There would be some serious clockwork mechanicals inside the control stand, to make that work.

Something's wrong. 1.89:1? That consist should pose little problem; certainly at less than 2% you should be able to accelerate to line speed...

The F7's very primitiveness, relatively speaking, makes it a course in railroad physics. You're really driving it and operating all systems; it's...

Keep in mind that the grade half a mile behind you may well be steeper than what's under your seat.

How much tonnage, and what traction? There ought to be for a route like CRR a minimum of 1.5 hp per ton. Three SD40s should pull a 4500-ton train...

Manual points with which there is nothing discernably wrong when you pass them; the obstruction/collision is invisible, half a mile away around a...

What traction do you have, and what is the train weight? PS: from a full service train brake application, it can take 5 minutes or more for the...

It may be the case, as according to Matt was the case at the Trammel siding, that in some places the straight-ahead route was the "siding" and the...

Can you? Cool! However, the number boards are graphic fields, filled on spawn from a randomized list of numbers appropriate to that loco (so the...

Again, this was not shunting! This was a line move.

How are the locomotives positioned in the train? This may be one of those DP setups, which in CRR apparently means the "helpers" are dead weight,...

It would be very helpful if you specified which route and bug you're talking about in the thread title.

Interesting. Never had this problem, the AI loco did what it was supposed to do. Is it maybe like some shunting services in Sand Patch, where if...

Nope. They're like the trucks and fuel tanks and headlight lenses: paint proof.

Note that this isn't a shunting scenario. It's a Point A to Point B, with no stops at all.

You are saying that, based on an invisible obstruction (and no signal), the driver of an 8000-ton coal train is going to stop it on a 1.6%...

CSX was formed in 1986, and inherited several thousand locomotives. It takes a long time to get that many painted! I don't doubt that there were...

It's a bug; sometimes in an emergency stop, a trail locomotive's bell will start sounding.

A standard full coal train on the Clinchfield was 110 hoppers, if you're so inclined.

It is almost parodic.

Mind you, Clinchfield's signals were supposedly weird and unlike any other railroad's. So what you take to be an "approach" may actually be a...

You tried to do it while some part of the train was in a tunnel. In that case, just like the external cameras, leaning out the window is...

Sorry, I disagree. Changing switches from a moving train is not on. Especially since it is completely unrealistic.

^This. DTG have improved their product. Clinchfield is IMO their best route to date. Is it perfect? No. But what sort of mentality expects DTG...

Who is blind, the one pleased that the glass is 7/8 full, or the one complaining that it's 1/8 empty?

Yes, Zawal. Minor problems. And it's hardly news that some people like to post bad reviews on Steam whining about trivial little LOVE. Screw 'em....

This was very cool and unexpected. Clinchfield, The Setup scenario. I'm backing a rake through the Dante switchyard, head out the window looking...

OK, this is inexcusable. Much as I love this route overall, now I'm angry Scenario Fremont Ascent. 700 yards from the end, after an hour of...

You have run into the Great Mystery of Clinchfield: how to set up distributed power. The familiar way from SPG makes use of a button on the radio...

Transformer boxes hum when you get near them

Oh, no, the real road could never be like that. It's not as if rural roads can be weird or wonky or anything [ATTACH] God forbid DTG's QA don't...

1) The unit selector switch is ornamental. In -game it has no effect on anything 2) Are these 3 locos all in one MU coupled together, or is one...

This thread took this left turn because I responded to I probably should have directly replied to "gone downhill", and then as one side point...

I think that is an entirely logical explanation, since from 1955-64 002 and 003 did serve as shunters, in Munchen, Rosenheim and then Heidelberg....

Nobody, at least in America, is going to ride a train for 8 hours when they could fly there in two. Therein lies the problem with high-speed rail:...

FURTHER OBSERVATIONS Two days in, and I am liking this bonanza of a route more and more. Take a bow, DTG. Well done. Jolly well done indeed....

But can you prove it's your own material that you collected on your own? Without a paper trail, DTG doesn't dare use it.

You're increasing the throttle too early. That's overtorquing the wheels and generating slip. Keep it at 3 and be patient. Throttle up when the...

We have no need of one. The only reason they are being built now is because politicians are susceptible to lobbyists. Besides, the private...

That's correct- until the late '80s. It was then that the FRA started seriously enforcing a rule that every piece of equipment that was mounted...

Matt explained this in both livestreams. The reason the switch was there on real locomotives was because the voltage signal which communicated...

All right, here's a really, really, really nitpicky complaint: the classification lights on the F7. There's actually no need for them here at...

Oh, yes they fade. In certain extreme cases, they can melt! Unfortunately, this is NOT modeled in TSW (yet). What this means is that players...
