There's a lot of complex math that needs to be figured out in order for an accurate PTC to be implemented. I have white papers but even those...
2019. I chose to line it up with the same time period as Boston to Providence.
Due to the signaling in use at the time, you'll have signal-related congestion between Framingham and Boston. The absence of CP-6 and CP-4...
Yes. That is a safe assumption.
I edited the poll to add this since i agree with you
I scripted the signals for this route. Framingham to Boston is Rule 261, so train movements are governed by wayside signal indications....
Nothing public
Yeah no problem. Hopefully the physics can be revised some day
Well from the f40ph's perspective, the brakes release ridiculously slowly and the acceleration is too low. This makes on-time performance impossible
The timetable in game doesnt have great timings and the inaccurate physics of the rolling stock doesn't help either.
What service are you playing? This may be due to dispatch beyond instruction not being enabled on stops for that timetable service.
All I mean is that some of us want that route as well. It's not just something that the public wants. It's a pretty popular ask
This has been suggested among testers in the past year. I don't want to say that it's "out of bounds" for the company. I'd personally like to...
I'm not sure. I barely play the actual game anymore since I spend so much time in the editor. Let me know what you find
I've never been in an F40PH to see how much braking force you actually have to apply to satisfy the safety systems. In Amtrak locomotives,...
What do you want the upcoming US content to be?
The editor certainly isn't without its quirks. In the future, ensure you have the track ready before putting a signal view into your level....
Signal views shouldn't be placed without track...but that's besides the point here. Try swapping between modes and see if you can select it. You...
I've had this happen before. If memory serves, I think I had to delete the track section it was attached to and then re-lay it.
I submitted it months ago. I believe it's still being processed by QA.
This is true to life. When you pass an Approach Limited signal, the cab signals (in Amtrak locos) changes to Approach Medium with a signal speed...
Who is referring to Approach Limited as Approach Medium?
Basically all the signal progressions you see in game are true to life. Each area is unique.
Dev time
To be fair, it was working that well before LIRR made it a requirement for them to be enabled at all times.
I can only speak for US content that I regularly play. Boston to Providence Long Island Rail Road 2.0 You'll have a hard time with New York to...
Sorry for the misunderstanding
They are rated for 80 in real life but just feel rough in game
the way they feel in real life is definitely different than they are perceived in game. they may have ever been placed improperly in the game,...
Queens interlocking between Floral Park and Queens Village. It's normal to switch there on a Clear signal with 80 on the ADU. Trust me when i...

This is a realistic feature of the train.
LIRR does things differently than other operators such as Amtrak, NJT, and MBTA. LIRR uses Automatic Speed Control (ASC) as a method to brake the...
That applied to code change points appearing on the 2d map. I don't think anything ever came up about ACSES transponders or impedance bonds in...
Jamaica is an ACSES exempt area, meaning Stop signals won't be enforced there. So yes, look at the track wayside always to see the signal aspect
Haha I appreciate the praise, guys. I'm just glad people are enjoying the route
What you can try is going one signal speed lower than is currently on your ADU. So if you have 70, go 40 (or thereabouts). That way if you...
I can't get enough of these threads! There weren't enough pages on the other thread, but I guess people had enough, got bored, and moved on.
Not a bug, but I think the inability to reach Brake Assurance Rate is over exaggerated by the game. It could use with tuning down, I agree
When ACSES is --, that means you are outside ACSES territory and the system doesn't know the current track speed. This is where route knowledge...
Timetable only
As a test, hit the signal while the master controller is in coast. When the cab signal drops, acknowledge it and then take your hands completely...
Because I am not going to dumb down the signal model simply because the dispatcher gives up after a while. Because at that point, both the signal...
It's not an emergency brake application. I don't know the exact braking rate but if your train went into emergency, it was definitely something...
This is why being a train engineer is considered a skilled profession. You require training and practice in order to use these systems.
Many drops can be predicted, but not all. The reason for this is if you are following a train or have some sort of unexpected signal ahead that...
Another possibility is that the service isn't using dispatch beyond at station stops. I dont have the timetable pulled up right now to check....
The old route is now only good for getting the LIRR layer on New York to Trenton. So yes, you can delete it if you wish.
Problem is that timetable simulation is single-threaded.
Nah the fun is in knowing and predicting where those cab signal drops will happen and braking in advance
Separate names with a comma.
