Maybe it was Brandon's signal tutorial? [MEDIA]
I thought I'd start a thread sharing some of the stuff I learned about the Acela during development and also point out some of the physics/systems...
Did you acknowledge the alarm? You need to both move the brake handle to Suppression and acknowledge ACSES (or ATC).
You need to move the train brake handle (ABCL) to **at least** the Handle Off position before the emergency brakes can be released.
Afaik DTG are aware of this issue and it seems to be caused by enabling safety systems **before** "activating the cab" (as the game knows it, i.e....
According to whom?
You actually don't have enough data to make that assertion. The train has already reached the speed where the fans start up in the video.
Keep in mind that a big fraction of the player base for TSW comes from consoles (last and current gen). Also I'm not sure why you are using...
According to the reviews I've seen the i9 13900k is faster than the 5800x3d (on average 6%). But obviously it's quite a bit more expensive and...
It is like that IRL. 500 Hz magnets are not mandatory depending on the length of the overlap.
Also: I heard that one of the big reasons for regular hitch in TSW is not due to loading in a new tile but rather it has something to do with...
Even the "slowest" one of those is about 4 times as fast as 6 Gbps SATA (assuming you're not actually using SATA connectors :D ) The NVMe M.2 I'm...
I'm considering buying an M.2 drive, but I already have my game installed on an SATA SSD. Any idea if this will noticeably improve (reduce)...
Maybe double check that the timetable isn't tighter than it is IRL. Also, maybe you are relying a bit too much on the speed selector? The BR143...
Old news (and perhaps even mentioned already) but the "tick rate" of the dynamic weather engine is once per 10 minutes.
Oh sorry, yeah replace Bedingter with Freier and vice versa in my reply. I would say that Bedingter Auslauf is used quite often in real life when...
What I usually do is to move the speed selector to "Off" with the mouse. That way I can move it so quickly that it won't go into electric braking....
Setting the force lever to zero is not a common driving technique IRL as far as I am aware. It's been a while since I last drove the BR143 in TSW...
Usually the model used for train resistance is something called the Davis equation (or a similar variant). In this model the train resistance...
It didn't take DTG 2 years to develop SPG, it took them "2 years" to develop TSW. However, I take your point. We won't know how fast the SimRail...
It's not that the train starts without air, I'm pretty sure the rear starts at around 3.4 bar, but the DRA wagons are very slow to charge. This...
The BR101 is not really setup to realistically drive freight trains at the moment (that might change in the future but it might not, there's a lot...
It depends what the initial condition is. Pumping up the main reservoir line and especially the auxiliary reservoirs (usually 100-200 L on...
Curve drag (or curve resistance) is not currently (to my knowledge and I'm pretty confident about this assertion) simulated in TSW, but there is...
So the 5 min timing was not with a BR101 or is it layering in as a freight loco on MSB :o ?
No worries :) I always prefer equations because then there is less room for misunderstanding (but of course it might be a bit intimidating or...
Maybe less visually appealing but I'd rather just have an acceleration value as a detachable HUD indication from the main HUD. Simugraph supports...
Force is actually mass times acceleration. Mass times change in momentum would be proportional to mass squared. :) Force is also the change in...
Am I missing something? The HUD already has a gradient indicator. :D Or wait, you mean in the same format as ”next signal/speed limit”?
Simugraph (and in turn TSW) simulates rolling resistance, and air resistance. Since rolling resistance as a force is proportional to the mass of...
I just tested the HRR BR425 vs the BRO BR425 and I'm getting the exact same performance. Something would have to be really bloated and bad in the...
Well done! :)
So like solicitr suspected the HL/BP gauge measures the pressure at the locomotive. There would be no realistic way to measure the brake pipe...
Keep in mind that when you start using <R> braked weights (R with "Schnellbremsbeschleuniger" aka brake pipe accelerator) and "R+E", i.e. braked...
breblimator As far as I know the Falns 183 (coal wagons) have not been touched for BRO since they are a layer rather than included rolling stock....
It does not exist in the game. It would be a silver button on the right side of the speed controller (Geschwindigkeitswähler).
The BR110 does not have a force limit lever like the BR155, just a tap changer wheel. Like mentioned earlier it's less advanced (which is not...
HRR is the most fun I had on the BR101 tbh. Yes it's short, but that's sometimes a plus. You get two or even 3 stops (certain services) in 20-30...
Nice thread :) What aircraft is that?
Yep, that should be correct. Did it go via the avoiding line or old line?
Slip (sometimes called creep) is a measure of the difference between the rotational speed of the wheels and the translational (linear movement...
A modest price increase each year is beneficial to DTG, and detrimental to you (as long as the price increase just brings it up to inflation...
Remember that inflation is compounded. I presume you mean that the excessive inflation is temporary rather than inflation being temporary? Because...
I just asked a freight driver who drives both the BR185 and BR182 and according to him you can indeed run without LZB on routes like KWG. Not...
Look up Markov chains. You can build a probability matrix from the diagram (although the RainShower node seems to lack the data required for...
Strange, my page didn’t update so I missed all the replies making my question redundant :D Regarding wheeslip: I updated the adhesion based on...
Do you mean that the BR101 is less realistic than other locomotives? If so: in what way? :)
I think it would be helpful for DTG if the tunnels that don't have "dry adhesion" functioning were identified. For some routes it's easy since...
I noticed this on HRR a while back. The view distance of the tracks seemed lower than what I remembered from TSW2 but it had been a long time...
That picture is pretty great! The sun light has that early fall look to it.
Separate names with a comma.
