Oh, good. I'm not the only one who cringed really hard at those CSX SD40s. Just another awfully planned out and produced DTG money-grab where they...
That's all fine and dandy, but on a sunny day with snow on the ground, engines grip the rail just as well as they would on a summer day.
Okay, so now having run the ACS-64, I can also say that the wheel slip is UNBELIEVABLE. I don't know who thought that was a good idea, but that...
I'm not sure why they changed the physics so violently between the Caltrain and the MBTA F40s, because they're the same thing. They also changed...
Nope. I don't own them.
US PS4 Pro. Still missing the LIRR M3s. That's all.
That's why you enter into a contract with the using company.
That's all fine and dandy...but the material is my own material. Like...when the Clinchfield 800 lead the Santa Train in 2017. I have a lot of...
I barely have time to live during the day, much less sit around and watch live streams of video games. If it got said in the live stream, cool....
No, the second cord does not control the rearward facing unit. One cord controls the forward facing horn. The other one controls the rearward...
DTG, You guys nailed the F7. It looks great. The prime mover sounds are off by one notch ascending. So what you hear in N4 should actually be N3....
Dear DTG, Please remove the rearward horn cord and effect. Clinchfield Fs only had a forward facing horn. You even modeled the engine this way....
Yes, I know. I was being cheeky since instead of taking the time to understand manned helper service and DPU, they just came up with something...
I'm still trying to figure out what banking comm is, because we don't have that in the real world.
It's the same thing, different release. Same awful K5, same bell, same prime-mover sounds as the AC44. The model? Awesome. Everything else?...
DTG, As I've said before, there are people on this forum who are willing and capable of helping you with this stuff. We'd even do it for free....
Every scenario you start with multiple locomotives, you should walk back through all of them and make sure the brake handles and cutouts are set...
The 5 SD40-2's they "owned" were delivered to the Family Lines and never wore Clinchfield paint. They were only sublettered CRR.
Yeah, some actual Clinchfield power would be nice instead of recycled garbage SD40-2s...something the Clinchfield never had...
They built the sim to look nice and for the trains to move when you move the right levers and push the right buttons. Like you, I respond to the...
When speaking of the brake settings being proper, we're speaking of the game defining what the front of the train or consist is ahead of time....
I have a post in the suggestions page that outlines a lot of the signalling, speed limits, all that jazz. As a qualified engineer, I'm glad to...
All I can really say about any of that is...one step at a time. The things I originally pointed out where things that to me, as an engineer,...
Which is EXACTLY why I pointed it out now instead of a two years from now when the first screens of that start to leak.
Looking through the list, though I greatly appreciate the face that you guys are going to do the Clinchfield in the time period everyone loved it...
I haven't even delved into the scenario planner. As far as the headlights go, that needs to be toned down during daytime operations. In the...
The point is what's gained from spending all of the time defining areas where AI train's sound their horns, setting up the trains so they do...
I work for the railroad, so yes, I've spent some time around trains and hear American horns every day. I wouldn't say they need more reverb. The...
It seems like if the frame rates are high, the horn loop is smoother, although I'd assert that the horn loops used aren't very smooth in the first...
Programming the AI horn in is just too much work. That'll never happen. The bells need to be quieter outside. That's about it from what I hear....
Thanks a bunch. Again, I do this for a living, so I'm happy to provide any reference material or anything you guys need.
Running the Corridor, I've noticed that if the schedule is mirrored off of the real thing, if you slow down to 50 on a Limited, 40 on a Medium,...
This will all be for the US side of things: 1. Rework signaling system to understand the difference between absolute (must stop when signal is...
Just make sure the automatic is Cut In and the Independent is Lead/Dead, and they should work fine. As far as the braking system, I haven't one...
Yes, the one I got is wireless. It uses a separate receiver that you plug into the PS4's USB port. The keyboard itself plugs into the bottom of...
I understand now, but my point is DTG really botched DPU operation doing it this way. I'd have never know if someone hadn't said it. I only say...
Thanks for posting about this! I was really stumped on this one. I do recommend, if you're running PS4, pick up one of the wireless keyboards that...
As far as the headlight control, the knob on the back wall behind the engineer seat should be as follows: On the engine you're running from:...
You have to cut the automatic in by turning the copper knob to "Cut In". Once you do that and make sure the independent is set to "Lead or Dead",...
I guess reading this, I'm even more lost, since you don't DP unit from the locomotive radio...but, okay...
No.
Yeah, you did it right. Just look at the gauges on the screen to see if the air is proper. I did note that the SD40-2 (or GP38) needed to be in...
I don't know yet if the game allows you to do this since it might not have been properly simulated, but in the real world, we hold on to a little...
Be more specific. Are the units back to back, nose to nose, nose to tail? Then I can tell you how to set the headlight control. As far as the...
Separate names with a comma.
