The older FP40s screamed all the time- when they ran HEP off the prime mover, they had to keep it turning at 900 rpm, even when stopped.
Oh, I do. I spent my grundschule years in West Germany: my father was US military with NATO. For us the DDR and the rest of the Warsaw Pact were...
Notched throttles are really more an American thing- even on electrics. A convention going back to the first FTs and the method of MU control (3...
Well, I wouldn't say no one. But, yes, the board's convention is English.
Clinchfield RR, EMD F7 A&B[ATTACH]
Perfection in software does not exist in this vale of tears.
Sand Patch is a very old route, and at one time DTG opined that some short services just weren't "worth" a gold medal, so silver is the best you...
Standard part of PZB: not all 500s are placed between Vorsignal and Hauptsignal. Some are there as straightforward speed checks. This one is...
There are any number of settings in Windows and in one's GPU control panel that can wreck FPS. Often these are factory defaults and have to be...
Natalie is one of TSW's Community Managers; she hosts many streams, posts the Railfan TV schedule, and is now the Roadmap's Head Cartographer....
That's a separate issue from corrupted save files. It's not in an obvious place, but if you go to the Main Menu within the route, you'll see a...
I suspect that any future US passenger routes are going to made with an eye to including Amtrak, which means the mainline, and more specifically...
I'm not sure I quite understand you
That can be helped with an .ini command
Maik: since you have programmed EIS lights, could Adam's folks simply copy your subroutine over to other trains?
Not to mention trying Clinchfield's shunting maneuvers in inky blackness
I think it much more likely that in the quest for optimization they updated the way the game renders certain textures, and that broke whatever...
Oh, I can drive West Somerset a LOT faster than that! :cool:
For whatever reason, I can no longer access the alt-liveries I have for the G6, 363, 403 or 406. They show up in Livery Designer, but they are...
Extremely unlikely. Matt P's a modder himself!
The uncoupling handles on the loco are those two big yellow loops, easy to grab. To avoid rolling backwards into the cars and re-coupling, you...
It seems that headlights are a loco-by-loco thing, not a core or route upgrade. The 612 has great headlights because Maik made it with great...
Are the Sherman Hill autoracks a new model, different from the Sand Patch ones? I notice yours have the flat logo panels on the sides.
The Class 101 gets a pair of Christmas-tree bulbs
I've turned off Windows auto-update for that reason (also, to avoid downloading MS bloatware); I start the DL manually when I go to bed.
My opinion of German efficiency just went down a little. I figured DB fined drivers for every second over 30.....
To the point I have memorized how many seconds each train takes to close doors (on an Electrostar, six) so that I can start the closing cycle that...
While that's true, those usually are covered by delayed departures/lengthy loading times in stations, not extra time between stations.
That sounds more like Sifa off.
That doesn't work when there are different liveries. The VVO Dostos belong on Riesa-Dresden, but nowhere else. With the upcoming package we will...
There is no LZB on the Dresden-Chemnitz line.
LZB is only installed on a few lines. Dresden Chemnitz certainly isn't one of them.
A heavy train isn't going to stop with just intitial application- or at least, it will take a loooong time.
AIUI, Creators Club is completely cross-platform: PS4, PS5, XB One, XB X, PC, all can upload and share.
I had really hoped DTG had cured themselves of this bad practice, but apparently not. MEMO TO DTG: Stop using AI autorunning to set the...
According to the patch notes, the dispatcher phone was enabled on the CSX SD40, GP38 and AC4400- I don't recall if that upgrade was applied to the...
Light weathering "should go quickly." Yeah, right. The thing about weathering is that it's like eating potato chips [crisps]- it's always "just...
Mine was 200MB compressed, 1.3GB on disk. Must be general housekeeping stuff underlying Chemnitz; none of my .pak files were updated.
That's a universal German safety feature; ANY brake application (not counting AFB-controlled dynamic brakes) locks out the throttle, which has to...
Great idea, but as for "next"- I would rather see (a) coupler failure and train separation modeled (the real Bad Thing you are fighting to avoid...
I found that defeating the time-killer on these shunting jobs, and the way to get ahead of those AI locos, is not in driving fast, but in using...
Simply put, there need to be two (or more) tutorials: beginner and advanced, plus (certainly in Germany) another one on safety and signaling...
Matt has said, repeatedly, as well as Paul (DTG's Head Poohbah), that the Spirit of Steam releases will be vintage routes, NOT heritage railways.
The claim that running on UE 4 is equivalent to running on Windows 95 is just silly.
In other words: fully recharge the brakes, or else.
Precisely. And since Simugraph doesn't model that voltage drop, the gain knob is pointless (except for immersion's sake).
It's a heavy train, that's why it needs 6000 horsepower in back!
It's a diesel. It won't accelerate like an electric. And, yes, braking is faster (esp since the 612, like most modern German passenger rigs, uses...
Complicating things is the fact that the game thinks a mile is 2000 yards (which is a nautical mile...). In fact, I strongly suspect that the...
Short version: none drivable. Since none of the other German locos/EMU's in the game make the Dresden-Hof run, the layered stuff can only supply...
Separate names with a comma.
