Another couple of snow issues with the SD40. I drove in the snow the other day (the night-time southbound one in chapter 2 that doesn't make you...
I used the map to throw the switches on my succesful run, so I don't think that's a factor. Then again, this scenario seems to affect diffterent...
Thanks for that useful additional info.
Ah, in which case I'm out of ideas and perplexed like you. The only other thing I didn't do on my good run that I'd done on my previous bad ones...
Did you visually check that the coupler on the rear (bottom-most) car was unlocked before the AI F7 arrived? It can look as if they've coupled but...
Mastery challenges work OK for me. Got them all, including Clinchfield. Updates are usually instantly but I've never had to wait more than a few...
I've been poring through the EMD F7 manual. Came across this little gem in Miscellaneous Operating Instructions (item 208): Operation over...
Indeed! There are 14 seperate steps for changing ends in the EMD F7 manual.
One for SD40 trivia? Rain never hits the swept area of the windscreen (but does on the rest).
Whilst I agree that is a good tip, it's only part of the story. Some of us who encountered issues did not block any junctions but still had the...
As I understand it It's cruise control, not AFB. So it will get you up to the selected speed, but you are responsibe for braking if gradients...
Having just watched Matt's brakung tutorial I then did the SPG 'The Setup' scenario. It gave me a whole new appreciation of how braking is simmed...
Yeah, I agree that is outstanding.
Got a bit Groundhog Day towards the end :)
I'd like to echo the praise for Matt's brakes tutorial. His passion, breadth of knowledge and accessible presentation style all made this a hugely...
I think the OP was expecting a PZB warning (which would have been ignored to trigger automatic braking), but did not receive anything. The OP's...
Fresh from my eventual success with Limited Power, I decided to try this again and was successful :D I think the 'don't save / resume' advice...
Happy to report I've just finished Limited Power - what a relief :D I did a combination of the various tips I've seen in the various LP threads:...
Pause Menu > Main Menu > Resume saved game or Choose a route > Resume saved game
Brilliant, many thanks :D
Would also be great as a download, either PDF or spreadsheet, to print out and keep handy.
I did try that. It worked, but when I stopped the other side of the tunnel to reverse the signal wouldn't clear. When I tabbed the dispatcher...
Good advice, but that does not appear to be the entire root of the problem. I was clear of switches and still encountered the same issue. We'll...
There is already a thread about this.
Well I tried a few more times, parking the cut in various permutations in or around the blue marker. No joy. I gave up for this weekend and played...
Blue Diamond
Very intuitive LOL. I'll try it out when I've finally succesfully finished Limited Power :D
Great find, Gordon! I'm sure that manual will help with general ops and driving technique tips too.
I think I've missed / failed to understand this functionality completely! Do you get to Part 2 by clicking Continue Journey? And does that avoid...
I was less than a yard from the board. I couldn't have got closer without SPADding!
Good to know, thanks. Now I know it's nothing terminal I'll try again!
I still like to have it set correctly anyway. A bit like a post-it note reminding me how many I've got on!
Indeed. Although my cut was clear of the switch, there wasn't enough room for the AI F7 to be the same once it had coupled up. As the AI F7 was...
Ah, that's what happpened to me too! The F7 arrived but didn't take anything away. But only after two loads did it cause an issue. Oh well, time...
Hi I thought I'd try this service with the F7, to start off the Mastery challenge of loading 60 coal wagons. The loading is in two parts. The...
I noticed that too. On my RD the normal release position bails-off, and bail-off itself does nothing. Works fine on other locos so seems to be CRR...
I've noticed that on the keyboard the Rear Horn is mapped to the N key (usually the low tone), but on the RD the low horn switch doesn't activate...
Ink replaced - reprinted :D
To me, the F7 front horn and rear horn sound exactly the same, from both inside and outside the cab. Even if they are the same horn type,...
That's good enough for me. Now pre-ordered, with fingers crossed on that 'should' :)
I completely agree. 101 / RD on a stopping service is so immersive. For me, it's even more so than PZB/SIFA for keeping you on your toes!
Eminently possible. I did the same thing a few weeks ago using the instructions at...
Superb tip, thanks! I've been driving SKA today and would have found that helpful. Now printed out ready for next weekend :)
So Clinchfield is now on pre-order. Do we know whether it will have RD support? Or are we still waiting to find out?
I must have been lucky, as I set mine to 3mph (which gave me 2.6mph) and I filled up in the one pass. Just!
... I refer you to my avatar :cool:
I agree. There's much more to the world of railways than Europe and North America. I enjoy those as much as the next person, but would also like...
I'm minded to agree. RD support was one of the main reasons I switched to TSW2 once it was available. I can't unbuy Arosa as I pre-ordered it, but...
Oh well, it was worth a try. How about trying release then apply then release again?
