That was a really interesting and useful read, thanks for posting it. I would not have known (or thought) to apply throttle while the automatic...
Are you sure you mean that timetable route? It's uphill all the way - great for getting throttle control. :) Only time you need to brake is at...
So, I've been doing a bunch of these recently. After initial frustration not seeming to have any control over the train at all I am now having...
Very much this. It's mentioned in the tutorial but almost like it's something that might happen. Took me a while to get it right, but you can...
I also have a pretty decent system, i7 10700k, RTX 3080, 32GB, 1TB SSD. Mainly for a couple of other games I play in VR. The GPU doesn't even...
:)
Thanks all. Helpful stuff there, appreciated.
Probably a dumb question, but is / are there any formula(s) or protocol(s) for what speeds to decelerate to when passing an amber signal?...
The Javelin is one of the more 'interesting' trains to drive, and the setup isn't straight forward. It's the only train I've had to write down...
Well, that must have made a difference (as in faster acceleration), and I'll confess to braking slightly later and harder. [img] Got to say it...
Congrats! :) I've just tried another, and there's no way I can get there in the time yours shows (I've got gold going the other way), the train...
I'm getting very poor performance to be honest. Also on Steam, no modified .ini files and no mods installed. i7 10700k, RTX 3080, 32GB, SSD....
Thanks for the replies. The swapping from overhead to third rail seems to explain it as that's where it starts going south (after Ebbsfleet)....
So, I enjoy this route, particularly the Javelin... I've done a couple of the timetable routes so far, but today decided to try a St. Pancras to...
Thanks for all the replies... :) Well, for $12 it seemed silly not to get it, and as has been stated, it's fun (and seemingly pretty easy) to...
Thanks for the reply and info. Yeah, I'd also love to take a train into Cannon Street, another of my old commuter haunts... :)
Hi all Does this add on add any different routes on the SEHS line, or is it just an alternative to the 375 locomotive? Thanks
Well, I hunted around the forums for a bit and found a few other threads that mentioned the Amtrak locomotive's braking, and it seems that...
Thanks. Yes, I had used the combined power handle (in the same way as I'd use a dynamic or electric brake), but was definitely using the...
I was using the automatic brake, so I don't think it was that. True enough that one mile out isn't that much at 120 mph, really just basing it on...
By the ATC I take it you are referring to the in-cab speed restrictions / notifications? I noticed that they don't seem to match up with the HUD...
Thanks for the replies all. :D
Thanks for the reply. Well, maybe at the sale price I'll end up with more than one... :D
Hi all Just a quick question, can one purchase an individual Rush Hour add on without buying / getting the Rush Hour season ticket? If so (and...
I noticed it on the Ruhr-Sieg Nord route.
Thanks. Is that a bug, or modeled on real life? Just curious.
Yes, this exactly.
Is it only me, but it doesn't seem to work. I have tried it on both a scenario and a timetable, and in neither does the electric brake kick in,...
Definitely not, I'm quite sure. On the occasions that it has stuck on completely I have zeroed brakes and throttle multiple times. :) Also I'm...
Thanks a lot skyMutt, very helpful stuff. I am sure both brakes were at zero, and throttle was at zero also (as in off). And yes, on the German...
As far as I'm aware I don't have SIFA active... And I just re-ran the scenario and it worked fine this time. Is it perhaps a bug? As I said,...
Thanks both... The SIFA button is button 0 on the display directly in front of the driver? And regarding brakes... Is it good practice to use...
I've stopped at a station on the Ruhr-Sieg Nord line driving the DBpbzfa. I'm on the flat, so I release the brakes. I open the doors and load...
Thanks for the reply. Pretty sure that there's no drift on any of the analogue sticks, it's a fairly new controller, and this wasn't happening a...
Thanks for your very helpful reply. Unfortunately, it tells me the latest drivers are installed. I don't know whether it's relevant, but my...
TrainSim-Matt - Thanks for popping into this thread. It turns out that my issue, pauses when using controls seems to be an issue with my using an...
Good suggestion, and it works. Unplugging the controller gets rid of the pauses. Not exactly a great solution though, as using a controller is...
Well, I don't think this is going to help a great deal, just muddy the waters, but... I just watched the video above (I'll try and do one...
Thanks for the reply, but no, I have no mods and have not made any changes to any files at all. Thanks also. Good point about the USB, the...
Hi I've been away for a while as I had issues with my PC, but back now, reinstalled everything from scratch, and while I've only done two runs,...
Whenever I get into one of those locomotives my startup procedure is... Reverser to forward, raise pantograph and close MCB then brake key to on...
I have a 3080, alongside an i7 10700K, 32GB ram and an SSD drive. I'm getting pronounced stuttering on pretty much all the routes I've played...
Hi there and thanks for the reply. I had been looking at the brake cylinder and brake pipe gauges. So, I just tried again watching both gauges....
On the SF / San Jose line with both the locomotive and the gallery car I'm having a really bad time getting these to work properly. They have...
Hi again - It certainly does appear to be what I said, that if Immersion controls are selected (in the Gamepad section, top item - Control Scheme)...
Yes, I've had three crashes with the Peninsular Corridor, two at exactly the same location, approaching the first stop and one just now literally...
I think you can select it under control schemes in settings. I gather it's a new control scheme that I guess came out with this recent patch....
It might be to do with the control mode you are using, as I swapped over to immersive mode when the game updated and had never seen the HUD item...
Thanks, I'll give it a go at some point and see if that's the issue as I do have windows in the room that might be throwing it off although I...
Well, I ended up finding a cheap xbox controller, so bought it and gave it a try. I'm actually liking it a lot so far, have used it with a few...
