I have no problems with the F7, but the SD40 is the problem with the throttle only. Matt stated in some stream a while ago that there is only one...
londonmidland - thanks for this information, I really do like the affects, did a “like” on your original post, but felt it needed a little more...
I set it to two to clear the instruction then set it to 3 -- no need since it is really a placebo anyway but I felt better with it on the correct...
No because we do not think your point is worthy. Run8 is a much better prototypical simulation in many avenues. I just disagree with your...
Wow - it must really put a bur under your saddle doesn't it -- I have seen a few - not that it really matters -- have a grand day if you can
Yea -- is his mistake bothering you so much that you have to show such intolerance.. goes both ways
Obviously you haven't been around many working railroads, especially single track operations - yours isn't the only train on the schedule and that...
Why not? If the service isn't scheduled to run until a certain time - why should it run early just because you are sitting in the seat?
And hence why you check the status of your equipment when starting your journey -- never assume it was left in the correct state.
And your point Mr. Perfect... enough, let it go.
Just posted a video in another thread were a train stalled out on grade on the CRR, trains backed-up for hours. One southbound in the hole...
Wonder what causes this problem since not everyone is reporting it. I didn’t have any such problems which means it is not a consistent...
I am afraid I can’t agree, I have the Tehachapi loop in TSClassic and it can get boring as any other route regardless of the amount of traffic if...
depends on where the last objective you completed was. Especially if you SPAD out and there was an objective just before you did, then the...
Once the scenario starts, apply the loco brakes to stabilize the consist... yes that shouldn’t happen, you should get the train properly tied down...
Here is another video of a tough climb, this time on the CRR, South of the area depicted in TSW2 and under CSX [MEDIA]
Thanks for the update. I am sure others will complain about it being pulled at the last minute, I appreciate the concern of those knock on...
Hey now, there was a hill near Hutchinson, Kansas. And haven’t you heard of the sand hills of Kansas... http://naturalkansas.org/sandhill.htm :-)
it is one of the menu options that appears on the screen after you finish the run or you get dumped to when the scenario ends after you derail or...
as they say, “It is always darkest before the dawn”. Which when out to sea, was quite true. Sort of the same with sunsets as well... since the...
Putting brakes on full will most likely causes you to lock the wheels increasing your stopping distance. You are trying to control a mult...
As one of the comments on the video, a 43 year engineer veteran stated you can lie to me about the tonnage, but you can’t lie to the locomotives....
Just for your viewing enjoyment.... another whoopsie.... [MEDIA]
Well, it does happening in Real life.... [MEDIA]
I have noticed on the CRR SD40, the throttle is very, let’s say, wonky. Even after re-calibrating, the range of movement to change notch levels...
Governors on engines are used to control over speeding of the engine.
Many routes of that era did not have speed boards, turnouts had a standard speed, main line speeds were standard and the engineers would have to...
No, I am not having a bad mood. But you sure did yesterday... I hope things look better for you today.
Doubling the grade was standard practice in the old days. Glad to see it is still in vogue :-)
This is the type of immaturity the rules are in place to prevent. Obviously this individual is upset and has lost any capability for carrying on...
See ya, I hope you find something you enjoy...
Reminds me of a girl I dated as a young man, she was perfect, in almost all respects, great mind, good looker, same values I held, BUT, one of her...
Sand is your friend....
Matt mentioned something about the night lighting in his stream on the Clinchfield, since most freight is run at night, he stated he shifted some...
No directed at you, and for the record, I also like the detail they put in there. One of the few stations this yank has had the privilege to have...
There are many areas where high speed rail would be more convenient than flying or driving here in the US. Take the Houston, Dallas, Austin/San...
for sure you can derail, got a phone call while messing around at Nora... released rather than setting the brakes... nice ride for a few seconds..
And your point? A thread designed for people to point out those little tidbits they appreciate in the simulation does not need to be hijacked by...
I let the loaded cars slide a bit too far down the siding and the last downhill car fouled the passing siding, knowing it would be a bear to...
Only thing I heard Matt talk about was the Deadman's Pedal - which he showed and demonstrated - but stated it does nothing. Never heard him talk...
Sounds like you have fun, which is great. Many, though, like to treat this as a simulation and drive as close to prototypical procedures as...
Bail off works fine, might want to recalibrate. Lights might be different since you have two different switches in the cab for Dim and Bright....
Glad to hear you figured out your problem. I was just going to comment my throttle is working OK, need to fiddle a bit, but can hit all 8 notches.
Wow, this degenerated into another useless thread.
Trust me, with the route’s profile, the weight of the consists, you will never notice the speed, What a GREAT scenario the “Limited Power” is....
These locomotives were back in the era before the explosion of safety systems.... during that era you could buy a ladder that didn’t have 50...
Really? I must not have gotten that memo that they are unplayable? Shame on me for running those routes ever since they have been brought...
That is why many of us are clamoring for TrackIR support. Such systems give you that capability. I can not imagine trying to fly in any flight...
With over several thousand hours in TSClassic and several hundred in TSW2, I am in the majority it seems of never having used the Livery or...
plenty of other threads for one to complain, please try and respect the spirit of this one.
