Agreed. I have played with all the r.shadow commands and none of them seem to help; I concur with londonmidland that DTG have overridden this part...
It is a pretty universal rule among railroads worldwide that a speed increase only takes effect when the rear of the train has passed the marker-...
Fair point.
Technically, I suppose it is "operator error," but an inquest would also find "failure adequately to train" as a contributing cause.
Not really. The imperative for DTG to keep routes within the very narrow parameters of last-gen consoles is holding back the game's development.
The inclusion of the S4 is one of the things that gives the Munich-Pasing stretch its life, and even there DTG cut way back. The S3 and S4 are...
Not a problem on PC.
Just keep reloading the service until you get one. You can't specify a trail unit.
If that's the case, though, one winds up proceeding in a sawtooth fashion, speed up, show down rapidly, speed up, slow down rapidly, all the way...
I agree. The issue apparently is the deadman handle- which pops into "off" if the controller is at Brake 1 when stopped (and when feathering a...
On the other hand...... Game: [IMG] Real: [IMG] No cathedral, no Rathaus, no Supreme Court building.......
Might have to do with the grain hoppers having better brakes than coal hoppers? Anyway, the way I do it is to dial in the dynamic to one notch...
[IMG] Yes, in Sand Patch the boxcar interiors are modeled -simply, but modeled - and you can climb in (play hobo!). The nicest little touch is...
It ain't all that on PC....
Is the parking brake released? (Button on the console to your right)
So trains in Germany don't routinely sound the whistle at level crossings?
What did they pull, Silberlings? Well, it's not "used" in SKA so much as it's imported from RSN, with an option to sub in to 146 services
Yes, it will- because the brakes are set. Leave the reverser in Forward and release the brakes.
To get going, since we can rule out a safety-system shutdown, you need to A have the doors closed; B the Reverser set to Forward; C the parking...
Do you have safety systems (Sifa and/or PZB) active? Wait, wait wait wait. Is this at the very start of a service? And if so is the Reverser set...
Agreed, the 2D map desperately needs upgrading.
Did you pull the throttle all the way to Off? Not Min, but Off, one notch past 0.
On most locos (all German ones), if any brake at all is applied then it goes red- reset by releasing the brakes and pulling the throttle back to...
The other problem has to do with the sectorization of DBAG- it's not a unitary railway like DBB used to be. Locos belong to either DB Cargo, DB...
AFAICT, the game engine will only load a maximum of two alternate liveries for each vehicle in a given session.
Another ex-Chessie boxcar, this one yellow [IMG]
I suspect that is why the 143 in passenger service belongs to RSN, because IIRC the line speed on that route never exceeds 130. Layered into other...
I meant, how does one keep to the timetable legally!
The "creeping sleepers" effect isn't a function of asset draw distance- they're actually already there- what we are seeing is the sleepers'...
Incidentally, having a 2+2 DP setup climbs and descends grades better than quadruple-heading. Some RW long trains put another one or two locos in...
If GSM-R is ever fully implemented, then train locations will be reported in realtime by position transponders, like airliners. But that project...
I'll have to test further, but I am increasingly starting to think that the problem is the dead-man's handle (never even mentioned in the manual...
The thing about layering of course, is that you get the exact model imported as-is; the setup won't reskin them for you!
Thanks! One wonders- how does one keep to a RE timetable with a 143?
Say what? HMA is a great route! Only issue is that the object density around Munchen Hbf drops framerate noticeably. In particular, the tracks...
The difference is that scenarios are scripted- the devs work out what every train in the route is doing to allow for the nonstandard event. But...
Depends- if you LOVE Sand Patch, then Oakdale is more of the same with different scenery
The banking comms in the C40-8 are known not to work.
I guess I could add the highest-priority of all UK headcodes: 1X01. Everybody yields to the Queen!
Ah. OK, I now see where the miscommunication is! The Rhein-Ruhr Verkehrsverbund runs both 422s and 423s in S-Bahn service. But, you are right,...
I think its cool that you can actually see the cars venting, since in the cold air vapor is condensing and you get little white jets from each car.
If you are on PC, you have the same version all the rest of us have
That's not necessarily always so. There are some services in SPG, in particular, which are available for GP38s or SD40s but which were really...
Except that, if the BP ever loses pressure, the air in the AR (+ the emergency reservoir) will slam the pistons hard over and lock the brakes. In...
Well the dash would get pretty crowded if there was a dial for every car in a 100-car coal train!
A clarification, please: is the theme this week to be read as "Pictures including the sun, in winter" or "Sunny winter weather?"
Interesting: the buttons are functional on recent German trains (403, 406 etc)
There exists a mod which will add the "Mind the Gap" message.
That's funny- I just used SC in the 4400 last night and it worked fine.
Which can easily be stirred up simply by adding some +/- error into the AI trains' robot-like timetable precision, or, as you say, adding in some...
