You are totally correct... about not being able to run said trains from end to end in the route, and about that being pretty daft. I might...
Yep, those images were taken on my PS4. And it is possible to build a train like this using several locos with any available cars in the Hamilton...
I finally checked out that 30-car (manifest) train you mentioned... it looked pretty cool rolling into Oak Point yard nice and slow around 10:15A....
...yep, should look even more interesting with double vision. :-) I opened up a ticket for this issue yesterday, and so far (since I’ve had the...
Has anyone else seen this in the Caltrain route at the Mountain View stop (or at any other stops)- pedestrians literally standing in the middle of...
I definitely like this idea too. Oakville Sub could really use some SD-type locos in it, to better reflect what you would expect to see in the era...
I would definitely like to see an American route like this added to the sim... great idea, and a nice justification too (with plenty of meat to...
Great idea on updating the route map (for all routes) to at least show all station/yard names... I was thinking about that too. It can’t be that...
...start watching at 1:54:40 into the video. Clearly Matt was surprised by what happened- so was I when I first ran into this issue.
I ran into this same issue as well a few days back, and was actually getting ready to open up a ticket for it. It looks like when they recently...
...here are some pics of the 2 unit trains I’ve built in Hamilton Explorer. The train on the right is my orig DPU (helper-unit) oil-can train......
...links to a couple of nice videos of unit trains. The first is a long (and I mean long) oil train with some big-gun CN helpers in the middle......
Thanks for posting this info- will be checking out some of the early morning NEC traffic later today, maybe even grab a few pics if I can!
...I liked your buffer car pics btw, thanks for posting these. Not sure on your first pic, but that buffer might be marked in the middle saying...
...no problem- hope you have as much fun in the Explorer as I have. One caveat- sometimes after restoring my Hamilton Explorer saved game, I have...
...all you have to do is start up the ‘Hamilton Explorer’ scenario in Oakville Sub. What I also do is reserve my single saved-game slot in the sim...
Wow- this is an awesome pic too... suitable for framing!
...pics of my current DPU unit train in Hamilton Explorer in Oakville- I added buffer cars to it where they should be (based on the earlier video...
...some pics of my current DPU train saved in Hamilton Explorer (with added buffer cars where they should be- unfortunately no way to fill them...
...nice screenshots, Johnny- really like both of them, but that first one looks like a real photo! Pretty cool.
OK, that’s great news. Did you use the in-game camera like I did to verify the helpers in the middle throttle up and down in sync with the lead...
I just discovered via the thread below that Dimitri is no longer a Community Manager here as of mid-April. I only now just stumbled on his note in...
No problem, and thanks for responding to my note. I took the time to craft a decent note and sent it to Dimitri- even including links to several...
...early morning traffic at the bahnhof in Hösbach, Germany (pics from the Main-Spessart Bahn route). [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
...I totally agree- give me a SD40-2, SD40T-2, SD45, any Dash 8 or 9- anything but another freight route based on the GP38. It can’t be that hard...
When I was a kid, I had an electric train set (the only one I remember from back in the day)... I would set it up, play with it, make up stories...
...nope, you def have a lot of company on this issue (covering all platforms). Did uncoupling and recoupling the cars help you resolve the issue,...
Update, 5/2/20: After sending out an initial (short) note to Dimitri, and then getting a quick response back from him, I then sent him a longer...
...for anyone running into the issue with filling up the tankers (or even getting on them) in Petrochemical Chaos, you might want to try that...
...so Dean, did you ever try out the DPU config? If so, did it work?
...nope- this is not another ‘rant thread’ if you ask me- and thank you for posting this. You’re actually bringing up some very valid points- some...
...all great ideas. I’d also like to see DTG resolve the issue with passengers having trouble traversing the gap between the car and the platform...
....thanks for the heads-up on this. I’ve noticed this issue too- glad DTG is starting to correct this.
...here’s a nice drone video of a CP/BNSF unit train with quite a few buffers, including around the helpers in the middle, plus two more buffers...
...here are some of the links I ran into on buffer car usage (on unit trains, and on any train where there are dangerous goods being transported):...
...just tossing this out there, for what’s it worth: I think there’s a lot to like in TSW 2020, and I actually plan on writing some of that up in...
...here’s the info I promised- pretty sure this should work on the Xbox, but will be great to have folks test this out to be sure. And if it does...
OK, great... will post the DPU config in a bit. The procedure is actually pretty simple... I have a 3-step procedure and all of the initial engine...
...ridiculous (almost generic) response by them. As you said- this is not profile data related to the PS4 itself, but profile data related to TSW...
...totally agree. I live near this route, and there’s definitely a fair amount of prep work going on near the tracks in the south bay, with...
Is anyone here in the PC forums interested in checking out a working DPU (helper-unit) train configuration in their Hamilton Explorer scenario in...
Is anyone here in the Xbox forums interested in checking out a working DPU (helper-unit) train configuration in their Hamilton Explorer scenario...
...was it tech support that said this was a PS4 issue, or was this one of the TrainSim-xxxx folks here at the forums that said that? Q: Have you...
I saw that too... hopefully some of the issues I’ve run into in Oakville Sub are scheduled to be fixed in the next couple of updates (i.e. issues...
...wow- this is now the second thread I’ve seen on profiles being trashed in 2-3 weeks. As others have mentioned here- back up your profile info,...
I liked your idea about the buffer cars... based on your post, I spent a fair amount of time yesterday digging up info all about those on the web!...
...nice to hear about the upcoming update with possible fixes for Oakville- thanks for posting this.
Not sure folks are still running into any of these issues at this point... but for any that are, it would be a good idea to open up a support...
This has been happening to me too for the last few weeks... it’s been pretty random during that time- definitely not forcing me to login every...
I finally ran a couple more tests today, and it does look like BP at the rear of the train drops to near-zero after coupling up the initial 5...
