In the context of the conversation, where this was a segue from talking about the relatively late public announcement of another route, that other...
It's an antique safety regulation dating back over a century: whenever you sound the whistle, you must ring the bell too. By the 1960s locomotive...
Cane Creek's problem is that it was trumped by Sherman Hill, since for anyone who is into western US Union Pacific freight, the latter is clearly...
The layering system is (with certain exceptions) "chronologically one-way"- in other words, when a route is released it can include layers for...
Isn't it a bit late to be choosing a topic for last month?

ROTFL! I'm lucky to get 35
Unfortunately, your graphics settings reduce older hardware to slideshow-level framerates. On my i5/3GHz + GTX 1060, they're completely unusable.
Flying games have been huge since the beginning of videogaming (going back to old titles like A-10 Attack! and F-16 Fighting Falcon), and on...
Thank you! That's very helpful. Now I understand it a bit better; the G comes on when you are close enough to an upcoming speed reduction that...
The technique is called blended braking: use the auto brake to set a "floor," on top of which you use the dynamics to control speed (and, yes, you...
Well, Clinchfield launched with the brake-valve bug.
How fast are you trying to go? Don't think you can take a downgrade at the posted speed limit and have a prayer of controlling a heavy train.
Oh, and when they replace the diorama, they really need to bring back the 3/4 view of the loco so you can actually see what you're getting, since...
Yes, should have mentioned that- on trains equipped with LZB but not AFB (of which the only one currently in the game is the 425), LZB serves as a...
Yes. There's a sign telling the driver where to stop. On UK passenger platforms they often take the form of a number which represents the length...
Because trucks and planes are way, way more popular with the broader gaming public than trains. Our niche is in terms of numbers not too far above...
I actually like the fact that Journey forces varied conditions on me; left to myself I'd probably run most everything around noon on a clear June...
You can however see the halt board- it's at window height.
The real problem is that in most case they're placed too bloody close to the signal. At passenger platforms, the placement is usually just right;...
Sadly, there is no way to specify coach/wagon liveries, just locos and MUs
The red G under LZB stands for Gebremsen, braking, and is simply a warning that the system will apply the brakes shortly
Because from where you're sitting high up. you are looking down at an angle of 30-40 degrees and you're quite a ways yet from the last bit of...
1) Zvanz-brem-soong. "Enforced braking" 2) Zoog- bee- ein - floos- soong. "Train influencing"
However, it seems that in Germany, at least in the trade, that's how they're referred to: [ATTACH] Very different from the US, where it's always...
They aren't names! They are the UIC codes which describe the characteristics of the wagon, and each letter means something- for example, a...
You overlooked my major gripe: that the weather selection screen's background is an indoor diorama, so you can't see the weather you're choosing!
Removed by DTG Natster - argumentative
No. IRL the 313s run no services on the BML, just on the Coastway, but they do go home to depot along it as ECS moves, which is what the BML...
With freight services, the first digit also indicates the maximum allowable speed (4 is 75 mph, 6 is 60, 7 is 45)
But that paragraph is inherently contradictory. On the one hand we want DTG to spend more time per route, lengthen the release cycle and...
Oh, yes. AAA games with big budgets are released bug-free.... https://www.pcgamer.com/red-dead-redemption-2-pc-bugs-crashes-fixes/...
I think 100 miles of southern/midlands England would involve a LOT more assets and detailed route building than 100 miles of American high plains...
ReShade cures most all lighting ills.
Well, credit where credit is due, the German locos in DRA and the Electrostars in Brighton were substantially overhauled and improved.
I never did quite understand why GWE didn't at least go to Didcot
Like the Academy in TS
IIRC, there is a technical issue with one of the online stores which makes that impossible; each loco needs to have a "home" route. Although it...
Well, that is already a reality with BML/ECW; one can drive from Victoria to Eastbourne , although one has to change routes at Brighton. And (at...
Does have many advantages for DTG's purposes: there were a shedload of them, they operated everywhere and pulled nearly everything, and they...
It only becomes an issue e if you change ends. At service start you just need to make sure that your headlights are set to Bright
TSG was also responsible for most of the work on the brilliant BR 101 - which does have AFB and LZB.
Train Sim Germany
As I was saying...... But, yes, the savegame bug - which is not at all a 2021 thing - DESPERATELY needs fixing (as well as one save file per...
I also, besides the ugly nose, hate the fact that the loco and the coaches don't have the same cross-section. The existing Acela is a...
I disagree with the arithmetic, which comes out as a wash. Definitely more forwards steps than backwards; Brighton is a marked improvement on...
You're overlooking TSG, which has been exemplary right out of the gate.
TBH, I think you have been oversold by the complaining on here. Brighton Mainline and Riesa-Dresden are outstanding routes, and aside from the...
There's a difference between some quick cosmetic changes like fencing, or belatedly completing a branch that was already almost finished, and...
When DTG decide upon a route DLC, they calculate how much they can spend on it and how much time they have. They then do what they can....
Separate names with a comma.
