I encountered the new user interface for the first time this morning and have decided to give myself some time to adjust to it and learn how it...
That's not actually "theoretical" -- it definitely affects pulling power.
What is your authority for stating that "all .Pak [files] have had updates so will all redownload"? Numerous PAK files are created and applied by...
How do you feel about switching, loading/unloading, and driving mostly slow-moving freight trains while encountering constantly changing...
Some folks prefer realism, others not . . . so it goes.
... and delightfully so, in some activities!
Not for this session. It's only required in one activity, which involves loading 3 hoppers at the end of a long train. I just decided, as a...
Thank goodness I won't have to deal with the Rush Hour download, at least.
Looks like a good tool! I installed it and placed a quick-start icon in my Windows task bar.
Session DG51-C: Switching at Potash . . . 17:45 Once again, I'd been sent out on a loading task alone. They really ought to pay engineers double...
And the award for best humorous post goes to Ghostface1701!
It's definitely time to stop watching this thread. Bye!
Won't re-downloading them with their updates take just as much or even more time time as leaving them in place? I'm not criticizing, just inquiring.
Interesting! Thanks for explaining that.
I still haven't spotted any "flying rocks". but yesterday I did run one of the sessions that ends at Potash in Winter Clear weather. As I...
I'm pretty sure I completed this scenario a l-o--n---g time ago, but will make a note to run it again and get back to you.
Just for the record, the AC4400CW tutorial included in the Cane Creek route includes the instruction, "Switch on banking com". I discovered and...
Nerts!!!
See my comment to Crosstie in the post just above this one.
Walked and climbed up and down, etc. In this scenario, only the last 3 cars of the long train need to be loaded (a credible explanation for this...
First and foremost, I've learned how to open the hatches on the covered hoppers: a real adventure that has its ups and downs. This doesn't occur...
I suggest that you read my OP again: I stated, "the only floating rocks I've seen are those floating in my cups of iced coffee". Get it straight,...
I think that's above my "play grade".
How can I show evidence of something I haven't seen?
What's that old song? Oh, yeah: "You can't always get what you want"...
Now I know as much as I did before, but I'm more confused.
NO! I have seen screenshots of "floating rocks" -- I still have not seen them while driving Cane Creek. Perhaps I'm just not using the proper...
Just for the record, here in the U.S., ice cubes are often referred to as "rocks".
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I have not seen anything like this on Cane Creek.
And yet, oddly enough (or perhaps not), I have never seen anything like this while driving Cane Creek activities.
I keep running into posts griping about "floating rocks" on the Cain Creek route, but the only floating rocks I've seen are those floating in my...
Please identify the specific activity (scenario or timetable session) that you are attempting to drive.
Not surprising, since restarting is obviously not the same as "Starting an AC4400CW from a cold and dark state."
I've made a PDF document explaining how to set up slow speed control for Cane Creek loading activities using the AC4400CW engine. How can I post...
Technically, the timetable activities are sessions, not scenarios -- a bit of tricky terminology that DTG has several times altered -- who knows why.
AHA! Elementary, my dear Rocky, once you've discovered the loading tutorial included in the TSW2 CSX Heavy Haul DLC. As I suspected, slow speed...
As Rudolf notes, this is yet another DLC for which DTG has failed to provide a users' manual. However, the engine tutorials are fairly well done...
Does the AC4400CW have a slow speed setting? Skyhook's otherwise highly detailed users' manual doesn't mention it. If this engine is so equipped,...
As I noted earlier, DTG has failed to publish a manual for the Clinchfield route; however, I went back to the original TSW & CSX manual and found...
That's quite beautiful and I'd like to try it, but where do these commands get inserted?
Very true, but I don't see how this would ever be possible. Let me describe, on the other hand, my way of having both TSW2 (or TS) and a user's...
Check page 24 of users' manual for very detailed instructions for "Starting an AC4400CW from a cold and dark state (fully switched off".
I haven't experienced any of these things -- but, then, I don't drive trains with a magnifying glass in my hand to look for things that I think...
A black screen????? What are you on about?????????
A user's manual is available for CSX (alias Sand Patch Grade) that includes thorough engine set-up information. As for switching, of course it's...
Another 3-Bs thread.
Familiar Familiar sights to long-time TS vets and firm evidence of why DTG kept us stuck in our cabs while going through tunnels for so long....
Sounds like a recipe for earning a negative score! I'll admit, though, it does strike me as fun. However, on Cane Creek there is a sort of...
I haven't discovered and "shuffling around yards" yet, but, as a switching enthusiast I'm hoping for that. "To each his own."
That's a hilariously wonderful notion!
Separate names with a comma.
