None of the above / Nonexistent. Actually, I don't think any TransPennine Express stock is in the game. The Class 158, however, seems to be in...
Vacuum hoses don't have stop valves. You just put the end of the hose on its keep, and that seals the end of it (well enough for Government work,...
Destroying the vacuum would typically be done by opening the brake valve. I'm not sure why it would also be necessary to isolate the associated...
I would expect and hope that, when manual firing is properly implemented with worthwhile boiler physics to go with it, the auto-fireman will be...
As a diesel-hydraulic, it doesn't have traction motors. But it does take a little time to pump fluid into the torque converter. The pump for...
There's a general update to the signalling that was planned for the first patch, but didn't fully go through in time for it. The hotfix coming...
IRL, safety valves are indeed extremely loud. They're releasing huge amounts of energy from the boiler, after all. But also IRL, the locomotive...
Those sound like leftover glitches from the file mixup. The next patch should resolve things to the extent intended by the first patch.
This is also apparently how some voltage changes are handled, eg. at Graz on the Austrian-Slovenian border.
Yeah, definitely time for the moderators to step in and clean things up.
The PZB mode has more to do with the braking characteristics of the train than the maximum speed reached. Mode O is appropriate for any passenger...
They should light up and start working when the door is unlocked. Whether that's from the local door control or the general unlock probably...
You'll need to ask your question more clearly. Which numbers? And are you talking about what's on the HUD, or if not, which country/route are...
Actually, that's as intended. It's a more complete simulation of the Guard's duties, which require him to keep the door he's working from open...
Are you sure it's AWS rather than TPWS? You don't get a warning before TPWS triggers; it's activated by the "grids" in the middle of the track.
I think I'll reserve judgement on what further enhancements would make sense until I see what's already been improved, as a whole. I do agree...
Slave Cutout is not a switch, only a momentary-press button. It has no function in setting up the locos for working in multiple. It is only used...
I'm reasonably sure that's been dealt with in the upcoming patch. There was a post a while ago (probably a dozen pages back by now) listing lots...
Well, the master key would always be activated while you are in the middle of driving from that cab, whether in slow-speed mode or not. If you're...
IIRC, the chamber exhaust valve is near one of the front cab windows. It'll look similar to the one in the 37, but at a different angle.
Telegraph poles were at a standard distance, and could thus be used as a reference to progress. It would be a very rare line that had no...
The exhausters are part of the vacuum braking system. If they malfunction, they can be disabled this way. In TSW, they'll never malfunction, so...
One option is just to leave the brakes in vacuum mode. In this mode, the 37 will still control air brakes as normal, as that is the primary...
The ECU is the device that interfaces between the 37's air brakes and the EMU's electropneumatic (EP) brakes. DMUs and EMUs fitted with the...
It's frankly amazing to see the two different flavours of "DTG Staff" participation in this thread. Without naming names, I'll paraphrase;...
Finally, some sanity in the discussion. The one I'm most aware of on NTP is at Dewsbury, towards Leeds. You get a semaphore Distant "on",...
The use of time-interval block was a causal factor (though far from the only one) in the 1889 Armagh disaster, well after the "very short" period...
The function of a Distant signal - whether the UK or German type - is to effectively extend the sighting distance of the Home signals to which it...
Agreed - this is how every reference I've ever seen treats them. They are fundamentally elements of a block system, and convey no explicit speed...
You are definitely overcomplicating this. The HUD provides a deliberately simplified representation of the next signal ahead, for the benefit of...
Look for switches to the right of the gauges in the cab, and on a panel above the driver's head. That's where most of the auxiliary switches are...
I didn't have any trouble running this with keyboard controls. It must be a RailDriver specific problem.
Just… WTF?
Or, for that matter, inserted line-breaks and/or paragraphs so that it's easier to read.
As promised, I did break out the signalling HUD topic to its own thread. Hopefully that has also been noted within DTG. German signalling is...
It's an unfortunate fact at present that in TSW, the Distant signals - which are arguably the most important signals in the system - are not...
I love how everyone's chiming in with assumptions that this is somehow "difficult" or "special", and proposing alternatives that would actually be...
In RailWorks, Distant signals had a track link just like any other signal; they needed that to probe the state of the signal(s) they depended on....
Well, the current icon set is clearly inspired by the PRR signal system, which uses both light positions and colours to reinforce each other....
Since the Distant signals on PFR do, in fact, already reflect the full sequence of Home signals ahead, the information is already available in the...
The first TSW route wasn't even in the UK, but American. So that's what the initial signalling build would have focused on. All the same, this...
I don't think it's literally copied, but probably the same "tried and tested" principles were cribbed from extensively when building TSW's...
I posted about this previously in the Peak Forest thread, but I think it's actually a more general problem - so here's a thread specifically...
As it happens, this is already a feature on Niddertalbahn.
Since it is the weekend right now, we probably shouldn't expect an official line from DTG on this stuff just yet. I do hope that someone will...
This is actually something that has come up a few times in court cases, to establish that purported documents are in fact forgeries. I saw a...
Wikipedia says the Class 29s had Red Circle MU fitment, and were basically the hopeless Class 21 NBL Type 2s refitted with Paxman Ventura engines....
The boiler model is known to be a basic placeholder right now. It'll probably behave quite wrongly on Assisted or Manual firing mode. It's best...
There's a well-known truism in software development, which applies equally to games: 80% of the work takes 80% of the time. The other 20% of the...
It is basically how I understood it, too - especially with your pushback against more moderate suggestions. If you do have a more nuanced...
Separate names with a comma.
