Forza Horizon 4 is used as an advertising medium by the car companies, because they know they are dealing with the biggest software company in the...

I think you are correct in that the Dispatcher AI currently is not powerful or adaptive enough, and Matt has talked about it. That apparently is...

Acc. to standard procedure, Engine Run and Fuel Pump control should be off, yes: but they only come into play if you want to do a remote engine...

Oh, no. You have plenty of horsepower: three SD40s have 9000 ponies between them,* and this service runs perfectly OK in dry weather. The problem...

In the F7, do not move the selector handle from 1 until the ammeter is reading 0, otherwise the dynamics will never engage, or at least take...

But aren't you running custom F7A and B liveries?

That could work, provided the train isn't already going too fast (a handbrake is really pretty weak, only enough to hold a stationary train in...

1) Instrument lights turning off when restoring is a known, but trivial, bug. The same happens with the cab light if you had it on. 2) The AI...

Apparently a change to the core connected to coal loading in Clinchfield broke it in SPG. Used to work fine.

Or rather, is this why the in-game AC4400's dynamic brakes are notoriously wonky? Maybe the trailing loco's switch should be off but isn't and...

Thinking about this- are we talking about the radio in the lead loco? And is there a helper pair at the back? I am wondering if the PTT button...

That's peculiar: I had no issues with it.

Interesting idea- that bears considering. Thanks!

An NW2 would be equally cool, and CRR had more of those. [IMG]

When you uncouple from a rake of wagons, their brake pipe vents to atmosphere and their brakes slam on. If those wagons are going to be moved...

I thought the last GWE patch fixed that? Adam even said in a stream that it was fixed. If it's not fixed, use the Brake Demand override button...

Banking apparently is not implemented at all in CRR, unless there is a Mystery Procedure that can be found in the manual. Which doesn't exist.

The problem is that the 2D trees are white, but the 3d are not. The problem behind that is that the 2D trees are white (they shouldn't be).

Um, that is not a typical descending grades procedure.

C40-8W could work.

SD45, U-36C (both of which CRR had)

Bizarre. Is that supposed to be the "banking comms?"

Well, it's a start. This livery is surprisingly difficult - or at least, in the absence of font support getting the lettering right is. And only...

Or NW2's. However these days SD40s frequently are used as switchers, since they're considered rather underpowered for road engines (and even the...

Dead line, seems to me.

1) It isn't "clearly" edited; I see no evidence that it was; and 2) The rules nowhere prohibit it- so long as a picture accords with the week's...

It's entirely possible that DTG have never implemented a US equivalent to the routine which makes PZB functional; in other words, the lights...

Your problem is that you pulled forward ahead of the red stop board, relying on the signal only. That placed you practically on top of the...

Is there going to be a patch on Tuesday, and if so what will be in it?

Exactly. The point of playing Clinchfield is experiencing railroading on the Clinchfield- including the vagaries of a single-track line with its...

33% more locomotive physics to compute (4 vs 3 F7s)

Basic principle: New routes can have older trains layered in, but not the other way around. SKA was made before HMA and its 423 existed. So they...

The lockdown won't last forever.

The railroaders have called it the "dirt train" pretty much since it began running, since to all appearances that's what it's hauling: big...

Some change to the core for Clinchfield's coal loading apparently broke it for SPG. Familiar story.

You just have to wait a good long time for the line to clear. The joys of single-track railroading.

I love the little pfft! of escaping air when one turns off the F7 bell.

In this floor plan of an F3, it's #43: [IMG]

1) At this stage of the shunting op, the caboose has been left on a siding so it's of no help. 2) Yes, you can walk to do the uncoupling, but...

Gives a whole new meaning to "downloading content"

Actually the green livery belongs to the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr, and is used on all S-Bahn trains in their region regardless of operator. That...

Journey mode, No. Timetable mode? Of course you can! On the loco selection screen, pick your loco and then click "change livery"

Every time you make a throttle or dynamic brake change in the lead???

That's route signaling, which apparently CRR and certainly its related RR (Seaboard, CSX) never used. It's more a Western US thing.

That's correct. The motors are rotating backwards against the field, which pretty much is what dynamic braking is. The ammeter is registering...

It's a mod. Easier to read than the ball.

There is a train, although when you reach this point it usually has yet to start moving on the map unless you've been really slow. Just wait.

It used to work just fine: haven't tried it since the latest patch. Tip: the instructions say 2 mph, but you won't get your hoppers 100% full at...

The F7 is possibly the worst example of a problem with many TSW locos in keyboard mode: there just isn't a detent, or much of one, between Service...

It is the McClure Shifter sequence, in Journey mode (where one can't choose the season or weather). The same service in Timetable mode in summer...
