I did the scenario where you use the balloon track to turn the Amtrak train. It's an interesting maneuver although I wouldn't want to repeat it...

Yes, I just posed that question in another thread. Different players manage switching in their own way, so could potentially lose a lot of time....

Some of the scenarios/services on Boston, for instance, begin with a period of switching or consist building and that can lead to losing a good...

Excellent review, Jon. Fascinating details, which few of us would have spotted. I'd be interested in reading what you think of the train models. I...

Just finished the last of the scenarios, you know the one written and developed by the Spanish Inquisition. Everything went without a hitch,...

Of course, absolutely. I would feel wretched had it happened to me.

Great! Of course, my idea for a nice relaxing weekend project is to kick back in the yard with a couple of cold ones. :D But, hey, each to his...

Brandon has volunteered to write a manual on the safety systems, but he's still busy with the catenary so we need to be patient. Most of us are...

Whoa there. You're giving the US a bad name. Nobody I know or have ever met would think that Africa is a country. I too hope you're having us on....

All this proves what I've said ad nauseam on the forum. There is an almost infinite spectrum of hardware combinations playing this game. It's like...

Well, I paid $11.99 per route which equates to 8.71 pounds, so I guess we got even more of a bargain Stateside.:)

I was embarrassingly late into Canton Jctn in the Foundations scenario, so I ran it again without the safety systems, just to compare. Made very...

That's actually very hard to do. But he did it, even down to the number of syllables. I'm assuming he meant to write a haiku. :) Well, Conrad?

Actually, I can play on Ultra settings at 4k with my 1070 TI, but my fps drops to 30 or 35. Sometimes I'll do that, but mostly I play on High...

I'm looking in the same direction, to replace my 1070 TI, but I adamantly refuse to pay the exorbitant prices for these cards, upwards of $800...

I was expecting the Dresden route to launch September 2nd. If there is no preview stream this Thursday, that would likely delay the release by a...

I agree, there's a bit of arrogance about the responses to the criticisms of the new UI. It's controversial, some people seem to like it. But from...

You can try increasing your view or draw distance, but this tends to reduce performance or fps. To some extent this feature depends on the server...

Quality is always in the eyes of the beholder, so, even if the build or basic code is the same across all platforms, each player's experience will...

As I said earlier, I don't pay attention to the clock. But there's no way in the world that I would walk to manually throw switches or even...

I agree, very good stream. You have to admire the way Sam handles the issues, his sincerity and being in the players' corner. I'd hate to be up...

Ooh. Wonder what the "couple of new bits coming soon" will be?

We understand your frustration. Can't give you a definitive time line Not making any promises :):):)

OK by me, even if it would be strictly freight. We have UP, CSX, CN and Amtrak. NS would be the next logical licensed road.

A 50/50 passenger/freight route is the ideal as far as I'm concerned. Most likely candidate is the Miami to Palm Beach route with Amtrak and CSX...

I've been wondering that very same thing. Maybe they won't. Can't remember if Rivet patches have appeared on the Roadmap or just announced on...

And no "dislike" button, which I occasionally wish there was. :D

Truthfully I don't pay much attention to the clock during switching operations. I'm usually too focused on watching for upcoming signals, staying...

Let me mention a couple of things that get my attention as I'm driving along, while they're fresh in my mind. Passenger density increase: OK...

Amen to that! I can think of a number of issues that should have higher priority than simply increasing passenger density. Headlights on US...

I have had no crashes in game and no crashes on exit from any screen. I have not been logged in to DTL for a long time now.

I had this problem on one of the LIRR scenarios. Tried everything but couldn't move the train after a routine stop. That pesky red square would...

The increased passenger density is fine but I've noticed that: A. There is still quite a lot of cloning. I noticed this particularly at Back Bay....

Then I owe you an apology. I thought I detected a tone that you didn't intend. Cheers.

I'm ignoring the gradient and speed profile screens. They are not useful and are certainly not worth interrupting game play. In that sense they...

Careful! Brandon doesn't have to do anything. It would be a favor to the community.

Am I right in thinking that the #613 doesn't have headlights or ditch lights?

The Boston route is certainly playable and enjoyable on the whole. I'm impressed with the visuals and the sounds, and the trains are well modeled....

Agreed. I can't believe that ACSES is working correctly. On a straight track with no adverse signal indications and the 2d map showing clear...

I simply don't buy this "explanation". US locos do have bright headlights day and night as well as bright flashing ditch lights where appropriate....

Interesting. I imagine if you'd bought the Boston route individually, it would have been a different story.

I've been skipping the intro with my left mouse button for so long it's become almost unconscious, so NBD for me. I must say the update and RH...

The sense I got from the stream was a mixture of "try it, you'll like it", " it'll grow on you" and " grin and bear it". I wouldn't count on it...

Cheers, mate!

I don't use sleep mode either. However, the computer is not completely turned off in sleep mode, since current state is stored in RAM. Best to use...

Indeed. It's a remarkable omission and spoils what is otherwise an excellent loco model. It would be like the BR 101 without AFB. It's especially...

Don't want to veer too far off topic, but I will say that I can play on Ultra/4k at 25-30 fps or High/4k at 50-60 fps. I choose to play on High...

I asked what the changes to the Banking Com were because the patch note was rather cryptic. In the stream MP said only that he wasn't sure and...

Catenary: That's the one fix we know for sure is coming " within weeks". Headlights: Can't be too bright for me, given the problems in CRR. Cruise...
