Nope... not a train driving sim, not purely anyway
Because it's not what happens in real life... In real life someone goes down the train closing the doors, so if you want to be exact about these...
The previous game doesn't emulate all door functions either. Even AP's latest slam door system has some big faults with it. Born in Cardiff so...
On real railways the driver or guard releases the doors, if the passenger pushes the button the doors open, on some trains if nothing happens...
I'm sure people would want every train that ever ran on the route to be available...
Nope, just a different game Then again some people didn't think automatic doors were an improvement over the slammers
London to Brighton would be a standalone route. Chatham Main may well be an overlap, but I would happily see it as a "network of routes" rather...
So in three extensions, maybe at £15 each you could have all three? Then again I don't have an issue with paying that much for routes, some do
Don't know why you think it would be easy... It affects all sorts of things in game so the interactions would need extensive testing and so on....
More likely they came up with a system "that would do" and didn't wonder why they shouldn't spend two or three weeks coming up with various...
Ramsgate - Faversham : 27¼ miles Ramsgate - Ashford via Canterbury West : 29¾ miles Ashford - Ebbsfleet : 32¾ miles And I live 100 yards from...
Both ways on the classic lines, unless they did HS1 from Ebbsfleet to Ashford as well when it would be the whole HS route Would also mean being...
Welcome to "real life" where if you can't afford something, you don't get to have it
In the UK up until quite recently (2005) there were also completely passenger operated doors, so the doors would have to start opening randomly...
I guess that's the issue with trains, they tend to run certain service patterns and once you've run that pattern in one train, subbing in another...
My response to this would be, what if it wasn't just an extension to existing services, but included other service patterns on the same (extended)...
There needs to be something in game to alert the driver that the train is OK to move. IRL there would be a guard checking slam doors are all shut...
Because the scenario planner has been designed that way. Hopefully if (when) they revise it you will either get more options or unlimited
The better extension for this would be the "Thanet loop" via Margate and Ramsgate to Ashford 375s run along the entire length of the route, there...
True, there are a few ECS from Reading depot but maybe not enough to make it a core extension.
Depending on where these extensions are, this is possible anyway. Extend from Reading towards Swindon and you'll see a lot of different...
From what (little) I know, signals are generally set by time or automatically based on what trains have proceeded it, but it may also be the case...
I believe the salient part is "on a red signal". If the signal is at anything else then the departure process can commence
Simugraph is a DTG designed layer in the game which works out what the components of the train are doing at any given time, so when you put the...
Armstrong Powerhouse have implemented this on several of their TSC DLC, including varied power levels, braking levels and "clag", which are...
Absolutely. I mean make them a point of light by all means, but no need for them (and the junctions) to work unless it's included in the timetable
"Last gen"... in the PC forum? I agree they did seem to overkill on the signals and I never worked out what for
Developing the systems for all 17 platforms when they only put in enough services to use three would be counterproductive...
Is it immersive that on SEHS you get 375s running to Gravesend (or onwards) or 465s apparently starting at London Bridge? Nope, but that's what we...
DTG Natster One you might want to jump on
Plus the Eurostar trains are very very long compared to the SEHS and EMR ones
St Pancras is actually FIVE distinct stations. The Eurostar platforms (the really long ones shown in the picture) are solely used by Eurostar To...
If what Sam said on the roadmap stream is true and the "bottlneck in QA" releases then there shouldn't be much need to, because upcoming would...
