Well, I would assume that all of the trails in-game are automatic..... And perhaps in RL; if I recall correctly, all of CRR's F3/"F5s" were...

Yes- operating in the same session where other people are operating their trains incompetently or maliciously would certainly be different. OLMP...

I assume they expect this person to come into the office? I'd be interested but for the Transatlantic commute.

There are no actual rules: it isn't a speed-signaling system. The driver is expected to know how far it is to the next signal and how much...

While the pace and terrain resemble SPG, there will I think be way more variety, compared to SPG's double-track main line with a yard at one end.

Matt could weigh in, since he's the cable-pin guru......

Perhaps they put it in expressly so an F7 could be MU'd with an F3?

It generally works best to create all the letters in a row at one time, one on top of the other, then move them horizontally until they're right....

The GP11 and GP16 were for all intents and purposes the same locomotive; the only difference was whether the rebuild was done at Seaboard's shops...

I do have a question about the F7 controls. Matt points out that the F7 he's driving has automatic transitions, with a manual option for those...

The challenge is going to be making it real: [IMG]

Actually, yes. Using the "Freight" setting for the brakes intentionally makes them slower to apply and to release. It's also the case that the...

TS Classic has both the Munchen-Garmisch and Garmisch-Innsbruck (Mittenwaldbahn) routes, which would be awesome. Unfortunately, the bulk of the...

The problem there is that the instructions tell you to move at 2mph, which is too fast. With some experimentation I found that 1.6 is the max...

I have tried to avoid doing that because in real life the alerter can't be turned off (and any engineer who managed to do it would be fired). And...

Well, to a certain extent, "release now, fix later" is a given in the software industry. No software releases bug-free; YouTube is full of videos...

Does the Ge 4/4 have a bale-off capability in the independent brake? (I don't have Arosa). With US locos descending a grade, as in sand patch,...

That's fine; no law against being a bigot.

Moreover, OBB Tauruses are in and out of Munchen Hbf all the time, so could be layered into HMA

The nice thing about doing a loco without weathering for a change is that you've got the layer budget to add in all the little details, the decals...

Now with improved lightning bolts; the old ones just didn't look right. Also anti-glare paint on the short hood (and in part the grab handles as...

SpawnInterval: is that time in seconds?

While this is the case, one also has to be cognizant that this is a niche market. Conceive the most perfect, spectacular, photo-realistic and...

Funny, considering that the definition of "rubbish" locos in TSW are those wheezy old British diesels; the only good "British" train modeled so...

This topic really belongs on the Suggestions forum

They're both shunters. Be advised: the SW1000R is only for Northeast Corridor, which means you can't use it in TSW2

Apparently you didn't follow the main thrust of what Maik was saying - time is money. Certainly a route can be goldplated beyond belief- but...

Real life, too. As soon as you enter a block, it's occupied, and the guard signal changes accordingly.

By the way, does anyone know how individual ICE service numbers are assigned? They don't seem to have any relation to the route numbers.

However, only one train pair per day. All the other ICE 25 services originate in Hamburg-Altona or Oldenburg

At least according to this map (December 2019, the last pre-Covid map and the one nominally in effect in Matt's time period), there are just four...

Yes, but from there to Fulda and Hannover, not to the Ruhr.

One thing the game seems to be missing is AI trains that take the northern or southern branches and leave the map (in RL about 2/3 of the...

The Rio Grande were the original owners of the Cane Creek branch, until they were bought out by Union Pacific. SD40-2s would have been purchased...

At least to date, TSW doesn't model crew aside from the driver (except an idle secondman who just sits there)

They may however tweak them, as DTG did with the UP GP38-2 in Pen. Corr. The SD40-2s could be remodeled to DRG&W spec, with UP paint!

In terms of RR timeline, CRR was bought by Seaboard Coast Line and SCL's subsidiary Louisville & Nashville in 1971, but continued to exist as an...

You also have to desaturate, and shift the hue about 10-12 points to the left. All three variables screwed up.

I have an issue with Matt's assertion for this route's timeframe being "early 80s," and Gary's that it represents CRR's "final years as an...

And as an era bridge, the SD-45s could be in Family Lines paint, used on CRR locos through the early 80s and on into the CSX era for many years...

Spotter riding the "lead" car with a radio.

Error? No. It's company policy. Those passengers had already paid for their tickets, and this way you don't have to actually carry them. Diesel...

What, second-class peasants expect tray tables and footrests? The nerve!

I'm not saying it's aliens, but... It's aliens.

The Rivet video is wrong. Now, it may work in the game, but setting the vacuum brakes and leaving them on while manipulating the dynamics is dead...

OK, folks, here it is in its pristine, sparkly-new form fresh out of Erie. Realism comes later! [IMG] [IMG] This one requires some...

Nice!

Hmm- you found the TT DTG was using... that would be an interesting read! Do you have a link? Still, the real ICE 614 has not been sitting at...

Just taking their lead from the professional polling organizations. "Which best describes your position in the coming election? A. X is a great...
