Timetable. I actually drove an S-Bahn train into Köln, and after disembarking I saw the ICE sitting there on the platform, and I thought maybe I...
Might be an odd question for a train simulator, but I just might have seen the coolest scene that I've ever seen in a simulator game. I was just...
How do brake hoses connect to each other automatically? And doesn't pretty much every rail car in the US have manual wheel operated handbrakes as...
In TSW, I can't help but notice how empty freight yards are in the game, despite the passenger stations bustling with passengers. I can't say...
Not always true, Italians and Spanish can be pretty loud but their train horns aren't any more impressive than the Finns who say 8 words in a year.
I'm not sure if Strassebahn has bells, I don't think I've heard bells when I lived in Frankfurt. But Amsterdam trams surely do, but unlike US...
Thread was getting too long so l wanted to say why European locomotives have these unimpressive sounding high pitch horns(even the low pitch one...
I guess, but with the push for more automation in everything vehicular nowadays, sooner or later they'll have to install LZB or its modernized...
Yes, I already said there could be another PZB mode for S-Bahn. Don't know about real life but in the game on a completely level surface, BR 422...
So he didn't even try to brake. I said that there could be another PZB mode for S-Bahn and other light rail, because when the 500Hz gets active...
Could the BR 420 brake as effective as modern S-Bahn trains though? Also today, S-Bahn drivers can see the next signal on their Ebula displays....
I may have confused it with another UK train control system which only applies the penalty brakes until the speed restriction plus some more,...
Do you need to use PZB when you're driving a single locomotive on the mainline? Such as the Lübeck scenario where you go to tow a failed passenger...
If by here you mean Germany, almost every passenger train there either is a multiple unit or has a cab car so it's a moot point, they don't have...
Overshooting a station, entering the wrong track(manual switches), also in the case of Boston Sprinter with ACS-64, just to maneuver into the...
I think only locomotives have receivers, not each car. On multiple units, there could be more than one, but I guess only the one at the leading...
Interesting, I thought the signals at railyards and sidings defaulted to red and signals on the mainline defaulted to green.
If the only thing that UK signals tell you that whether the next block is occupied or not, then why are there so many red signals in the game even...
Forgive me for making another aviation analogy as a cross-simmer of both the skies and rails, and also a real life operator of the former(albeit...
Since I'm not brave enough to drive without HUD on the PZB territory, I never paid attention to that. I thought it flashed whenever you passed a...
But a flashing 1000Hz magnet can still warn you of an upcoming speed restriction or a stop signal in low visibility conditions, in which case you...
But it appears that PZB has a lot more coverage than TPWS. Also the sunflower could still be a bit more descriptive and earlier, considering that...
Assuming that how AWS is presented in the game is correct. You just get an audible warning when approaching a signal and a sunflower if the signal...
Class 66 has the best idle sound for me, I find its cling cling cling soothing and pretty melodic. Even though SD40 is also two stroke and sounds...
The reason why I don't drive the ICE from the external camera at LZB speeds is because my FPS would drop to 10 in my potato PC if I do that.
Maybe. But I don't think a fully detailed locomotive would ever need to be the same price as a fully detailed airliner, there's just simply so...
I'd easily pay $100 for a locomotive/route where everything is done how they're done in real life, especially US freight. Not just the systems in...
They seem to lack critical features that're found in the real thing. No trip optimizer, no cab signaling, no PTC, most of the features on both...
Seriously, having to use the train brake every time when the dynamic braking isn't enough to keep speed downhill makes the ES44 a pain in the ass...
Unlike the aerospace, whose vehicles have very publicized operating manuals(probably because their hobbyist sims are much more true-to-life and...
BR 185. And I'm pretty sure it says Zugbeeinflussung when you press the wachsamkeitstaste. I didn't know Ctrl+P was the circuit breaker, that's...
It says in the control guide that it is Page down, yet when you click on it, nothing happens. No zugbeeinflussung. I changed it to something else,...
Another issue with the US freight is, on the Cajon Pass, sometimes the only thing that can slow down a train going downhill is the emergency...
So after a SPAD, is the standard practice reversing back to your own block so you're not in the danger zone anymore? Or is it something shocking...
Title would be too long so I'm explaining in the body. So basically from what I've read, it seems that the emergency brakes are only used when...
I said I would add shunter locomotives, not make them the only locomotives there. And training center in TSW3 is very heavily based on Siemens...
By that I don't mean anything fancy, just the way it existed in TSC would suffice. At least give us the ability to change the rolling stock parked...
Either due to manual application or PZB trigger, I found no way either. I tried every sequence of reverser putting in and out, turning the key on...
Yes but if electric(dynamic) braking could be used on its own, you could slow down to a speed limit without worrying when would train brakes start...
I mean, that's what I assume that brake lever to be anyways, because it looks similar to the BR 185 electric brake lever. Is it because the...
The restricted mode of the PZB is extremely stressful without AFB, as soon as you reach 45 km/h for 0.1 milliseconds, you immediately get...
I just finished the scenario with the G6 shunt where you cut up an incoming freight train on the siding of the yard. If you stick to the speed...
Heh, I meant any GE Evolution series locomotive actually, not just the 44. As for it being broken, there's hardly any locomotive/route in TSW3...
Why are there only a few (continental) Eurodiesel in the game, namely only the G6/DB BR 363 shunting locomotive? BR 185 and the Talent have diesel...
Is there at least a way to get cab signaling in Cajon Pass(other than the game provides you) even if it doesn't do anything to stop you? Just a...
Is it the same in real life? Do engineers/drivers in BNSF just trust their sight and that they remember correctly what the signal is telling...
In the Cajon Pass ES44C4 locomotives, which one of those can be activated? ATC?
Adding on top of my question that I've asked if there is a US or UK equivalent of the Sifa, which is apparently the AWS n the UK and ACSES in the...
Where can I switch these on in Class 66?
I looked around in all of them but couldn't find an exact equivalent. What happens if the driver gets incapacitated in those? Just absolute...
Separate names with a comma.
