Ha! Mastered the 8! Also tweaked the N, which wasn't quite right [IMG]

A big obstacle is simply that it's way more complicated and time-consuming to build content for TSW than TS. I don't just mean more detailed...

On the 146 and 185 it's on the back wall, the same panel as the emergency brake buttons. On some others, it's under the desk top to the right.

The J's were probably the last great American steam class- and that because N&W were holdouts, the last Class 1 RR to dieselize. But that also...

According to most US RRs' operating rules, not only do you have to sound the horn at all whistle posts, level crossings and platforms, and when...

A class 31 in NTP?

The first service they throw you into after the tutorials is Limited Power......

In general, Stop At markers mean "Front end of train here", not "Your keister here." In reversing moves, that can make quite a difference.

Or 8000 horsepower when the 7HDL engine breaks down, as it habitually does. Or rather, did, becase there isn't a single one left running on a US...

In timetable mode that's no problem. But in Journry mode you're stuck with it

Not true.

PC. FWIW my "driver level" is 180-something, but I had to restart from 0 in the changeover from TSW2020.

IIRC, UP sold about half of them, but kept the rest.

Specifically what it does is kill the power to the coil which creates the generator's standing field. With that neutralized, the generator...

Really? Try it. I promise you, your engines will not budge from idle with Gen Field off.

Error in gameplay design. If I had to guess, the service was designed in nice weather, but then somebody had the bright idea of setting it in...

If you are trying to reproduce real life, that would be done by another employee- the engineer doesn't do it himself!

I'm going to go ahead and call this one done: [IMG] Still not happy with the painted road number, because I simply could not find a way within...

Buck up! I did it successfully the first time. But use the map to turn the switches, and the free camera to uncouple.

The caboose weighs nearly nothing compared to a coal hopper- that isn't slowing you down. You can test this any time you are connected to a...

The Engine Run switch is the engine on/off control switch, only. If the Stop button were modeled correctly, it would only shut down the lead...

You can get away with it in game, because Simugraph doesn't fully model coupler physics- it models slack, but not failure.

Couple of interesting things to note: 1) 100 cars, 13,000 tons down a grade over 5%. Take that, Arosa! 2) They have specialist road foremen to...

It's not the MU setup, nor lack of power. It's traction in the snow: throttle above Notch 3 just induces wheelslip.

Just checked. The tutorial is indeed broken. Weirdly, however, coal loading works just fine in timetable services.

True- but my point was that the C40 already exists in TSW. (PS: UP has retired all of its full SD90MACs. It still has some of the "SD9043s",...

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...
