I've seen various people reporting random ACSES penalties in different situations.. I want to note a specific location for this here, related to...
I think I misused the word "odometer". I was thinking about trip meters to keep track of distances travelled, with references to maps or guides...
I couldn't find info to understand what the 3rd (rightmost) brake pressure dial is indicating. I understand brake systems, just not this...
To add, I've never heard the loco bell on Amtrak at speed while in a passenger car. Even through the Hudson tunnels into Penn. I'm guessing it's...
I like to play with no HUD elements including the top left timing display, and just rely on cab instruments. I also like to reference cab clocks...
I've spent some time on this track guide and thought I'd share it. I've recorded the speed limit and slope at every point of 0.1 miles, in a...
Yes, these are very useful. I actually found that the general coverage NORAC rules, which show multiple configurations per aspect can be used...
Actually, I was going to update this, noting that it does seem to work. The interior lights do go out with HEP disconnected by either the AC...
Ah ok, that makes sense in how it operates. I was looking at the early model specs as well the the -2D for Via Rail, and they both had prime mover...
I've been experimenting with the HEP and its effect on loco and passenger cars. It doesn't seem to have any effect, on or off, other than running...
I found this in the NORAC rules from 2011. So ya, the bell is in most cases used whenever horn is. They don't specify use when arriving at...
Thanks for the info. Upon running the route some more, and thinking about it, kind of started to understand it as noted here. Good to get...
LIRR doesn't have ACSES, just ATC. The civil track speed limit is run off memory as in real world
I've been running single lever trains up to recently, and now trying to understand the proper methods of braking on Amtrak and MBTA.. or any train...
It always made sense that the bell is used for slow approaches and the horn at higher speeds. The Amtrak runs its bell when approaching a station....
Whenever I activate the horn on the ACS64 on the tutorial, the bell also always activates.. So I need to turn it off each time, after using the...
Ha. I wonder how much of that Gran Turismo ad was really executed. It's certainly possible, but you can't actually film another video screen...
Started on the CTC-3 train recently and have a couple questions and observations for you all. I just tried the first tutorial so far. - ATC...
I remembered that some years ago, I ran the Microsoft Train Sim on the Acela from NY to Baltimore, and played the Acela route I was on, while on...
Ah ok, that makes sense. Still haven't gotten as deep into other routes as LIRR, so interesting to see if they can handle more traffic. I've run...
At the risk of seeing what can't be unseen, can you elaborate on the problems with the ATC on LIRR? Am curious
Didn't know about that one either. Luckily, even after mapping out every section and gathering real world references, haven't discovered anything...
- FIXED - So apparently, today's update fixed that ATC issue discussed, on LIRR. Patch 1.63. I ran a timetable followed by a scenario, "Suburban...
It was playable at least, and I didn't notice the problems it may have had to the point of being unplayable. My expectations of TSW2 has been...
Ok, thanks for confirming. At least we know it's a real bug then. Not sure which update it could have been as I don't remember when I played last...
I've returned to running LIRR after a few months, and have noticed that the ATC system seems broken now. I still need to verify if there was an...
I'm finding that the DLC are a bit short on content, yet high in quantity. From the routes and trains I've run, I've enjoyed the modeling and the...
Can you please explain or suggest how to enable more paths in other packages and route systems? Basically, how did you do this? I am able to...
Thanks for the answers.. But the same issue applies to all the other yards. They are not accessible. What I'm ultimately getting at, is how can...
Oh yes of course. That makes sense! So then why is it included in the LIRR package? Are the tracks in packages expected to be sharable with other...
After doing the initial scenarios and getting familiar with controls and some more full runs.. I'm trying to figure out some of the branches and...
