Exactly. The speed curve on a downhill should resemble, precisely, the teeth of a saw. Air brakes on, decelerate, off, accelerate, repeat. With...
Not to mention Grope Lane in Shrewsbury- the real name has an additional four letters.....
What can happen is that they actually melt- so now the wheels are running in a lubricant of liquid iron. This happened at, e.g., San Bernardino,...
But that's the thing, Nat. The issue here is that the physics at present appear not to be realistic: the simulated train derails under...
I had a sale break down incomplete last night- after PayPal sent the money (grrrr)
Okay, that makes sense. I agree. The thing is, at least to date DTG have never gone back and created layers in an earlier route to incorporate a...
Again, layering CANNOT CHANGE LIVERIES. If SKA used the HMA 423s, they would be S-Bahn Munchen 423s. Just as with the ubiquitous Dostos: no matter...
That seems to be found across all routes; some services apparently are too simple to be worth gold.
Layering never changes the livery or anything else about the 'borrowed' rolling stock: it's taken as-is.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about. This is a project I'm working on; the one on the left is DTG YN2, the one on the right is my start on...
I believe those are Pantone color codes. 7408 is definitely a golden yellow, HsvColor H 46.34, S 100% V 96.47%. 166 is H 20.81 S 97.8% V 89.02%,...
Well, two of my perennial suggestions would definitely be different: 1) A vintage German route 2) An Amtrak or Via route, since after the demise...
And in the USA too, where monstrous 100-plus car freight trains are the norm. For all the stated reasons, dynamics are your primary when...
This has been brought up before. In fact, the S12, S13 and S19 all run Koln-Duren or Koln-Horrem, and all use the 423. The 422 is simply the...
Or otherwise nonfunctional? Have never had a problem before, but this time I made a purchase about 3 hours ago, using PayPal (who definitely sent...
That's backwards.
That could work; what I do is select all the letters all the letters at default size one on top of the other just as they come out of the chute,...
It should, but it doesn't. I scored a gold on an otherwise unplayable (bugged) service by leaving off safety systems, speeding outrageously and...
We are living in the Age of the Offense Puritans. Not all that different a mindset from Cotton Mather's originals.
To check the points you can pause the game and examine the map from the pause screen at leisure. You can't set them from there, but at least you...
Before doing anything else with a German freight train, determine which PZB mode applies- you can do it the official way, as Richard laid out...
Just ignore the instruction and start loading coal. It will beep out on its own.
As always with railways, the lowest applicable speed limit governs. Which is why it's common with German freight to have a Mode M train that is...
Quite so. Negative feedback is natural, expected and even welcomed; where the toxicity comes in is the posts which simply slag off DTG (or Rivet)...
Well, except for speed boards and Morpeth boards. And on vintage lines like NTP and TVL, with the old cutout speed boards- those things are...
Apparently in older installations, it was a pure deadman's pedal without a timer, but drivers quickly found that if they "accidentally" left...
The 4400 makes it too easy. Try it with less horsepower, and you'll have plenty to do on the way down.....
You may have noticed that the early-morning HFP services are integrated- there are two mini-scenarios in multiple parts going on, using both the...
I found this out while painting the IC3- DTG saved themselves a step by cloning Car 2 (1st class semi-compartment Avmz) as Car 3, when in reality...
Cab ride: Pt 1 [MEDIA] Pt2 [MEDIA]
I'm not sure I understand. If Mode U is set then max speed is Mode U. Besides, if those wagons are loaded then their Vmax is 100.
Depends where you want to begin and end. The best part is between Koblenz and Bingen, which includes the Rhine Gorge- that would be 49 km (30...
Linke Rheinstrecke, the left-bank Rhine railway, between Koblenz and Mainz. Unreal scenery, castles, and the TEE Rheingold express in its 60s-70s...
That looks remarkably like the slow-speed switch in the British Class 37
Correct- I brainfarted and typed AFB when I meant LZB. AFB isn't a safety system and is never required for anybody. Edited
Except that, unlike for DLGW, the locomotives and rolling stock don't exist and can't be borrowed from other DLC.
If nothing else, they make it impossible to tell a double yellow from a single until you're right on top of it
This may hint at the reason: apparently the 425 is limited to 140 km/h by DB except under AFB [EDIT: LZB], when it can do 160. The stated reason...
Y'know..... Rivet do a beautiful job with locomotive modeling, but their handling of landscapes and timetable design is pretty weak. Skyhook...
And spmetimes one can be surprised. I initially had no interest in vintage UK; now NTP is one of my favorite routes, and I bought the HFP and...
At 11:25 there's a Gronk! I didn't know those things were still in service.
It would also be nice if passengers showed up all over major stations, not just standing on the platforms. The concourses shouldn't be ghost towns
HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value)
This happened to me running a Gronk in NTP. First service was to move a rake of old 12t vans. Vacuum brakes, so I set the selector in the cab,...
I have a feeling that Rivet's coach physics model a) makes them too light and bouncy (or the suspension nonfunctional), and/or b) exaggerates...
No, speed is 160kph if you aren't under LZB control.
Yeah, after looking at all the rolling stock out there, my take is that C&O was slightly lighter and just a teensy bit greener than B&O. Even...
It's also possible that the water texture is just a placeholder. These are definitely WIP dev shots
Yes, PC players SHOULD be grateful. Have you ever wondered why there isn't a PC-only train sim that doesn't look like LOVE? It's because there...
Unless Cane Creek releases running at 15 fps......
