Go back and re-read this entire thread. That question has been gone over ad nauseum.

An issue was encountered during the dev process with having the consists oriented the prototypical way IRL. Fixing the issue now would require...

Did you wait until you were under 15 mph to release? Did you also acknowledge the alarm? Also I don't know why we are still running into known...

That's what youtube is for bro

Watch the video lol. I never touched the brake after I set it to 57%. Still penaltied me haha.

Funny enough, I still got penaltied for an ATC drop even though the brake rate light was illuminated and I had acknowledge the alarm; same video I...

Can you record this and post? Would be able to better explain why you're getting penaltied in that situation, because normally, you shouldn't. It...

It's less of a time constraint as it depends on how fast you are going. The speed at which you are travelling will dictate how quickly you will...

Because IRL you would be qualified on the territory and know where the ACSES curve starts for the speed reduction. You're getting an unrecoverable...

Why are you running at 60 mph half a mile before a 50 mph speed drop?

I may have provided some of the source material, but it really was the audio guys at Rivet who made everything come to life. Am VERY impressed...

This is all likely due to the increased scrutiny that the MTA has been placing on content being released for the game. All of those shiny bells...

Extreme schedule padding. It was the same way with the Harlem Line if you remember that DLC. Metro-North pads their schedules to the extent where...

This is indeed how it works IRL. The actual engineers are used to this, and this is why trains run more slowly during rush hour (more trains on...

The ATC limit changing from MAS to 45 to 30 to 15 is prototypical behavior, and also simulated correctly. Most of the frustrations that are being...

Good to know; thanks.

Pretty sure pan-up is "P". Not sure if the mode-change switch has a keybind.

The M8 performance is correct. As Brian stated, the propulsion package used on the M8s is identical in power to the M7s and M9s, but the M8s are...

If I recall, it's always been like that.

that's literally NOT how any of this works, buddy.... the updates will be pushed out once they've cleared the QA process.

1. The snow brake feature does not work on the Arrows in-game, unfortunately. I do not believe it was ever scripted to work. 2. If the controller...

How are you gonna base your knowledge off of outdated footage shot during the WIP phase and claim that is the current state of the train in-game?...

Dover yard should host a bunch of overnight layovers.

The pan drop fault really shouldn't even be a thing. That almost NEVER happens IRL.

The reset plug is ONLY to reset the control system should a fault occur, like traction motor fault or controller fault. You CANNOT have the pin in...

Did you accidentally turn off EP assist in the cab car? Turning off the EP will turn the Hold notch into a second release notch on the brake handle.

All non-active cab doors should open.

More like ~5 under if you know what you're doing. I typically come out of a suppression brake to a 45 mph signal restriction around 41-42 mph.

The mini-high platforms are only used when there are ADA boardings. Otherwise, trains do not necessarily spot doors there. In terms of Arrows, you...

"Unplayable" is a bit dramatic.... Does it take you out of immersion a little? Maybe, but to say it's game breaking is an exaggeration. Unplayable...

Yes, I've never had an issue suppressing a cab drop on the Arrows. Just go to 50-55% brake on the handle and mash the acknowledge button and you...

The alerter alarm starts out at a low volume and progressively gets louder until you either acknowledge it, or fail to and the train goes into...

IRL there are two pools of Arrow equipment; 25kV Hoboken division Arrows that stay exclusively on M&E / MOBO services into and out of Hoboken, and...

Yes, the line voltage only changes if you're going between the Morristown Line and the NEC. As simulated, the Arrows are limited in operation to...

Would like to see a random fault on this locomotive where, in diesel mode, one of the diesel prime movers shuts down and you're left with 1/2...

1. So IRL, if you are in suppression and you accidentally release from suppression before you are under target speed, you SHOULD be getting an...

The blended brake on the ALP-46 still takes too long to kick in when you make an automatic brake reduction (6-7 seconds vs 1 second like it is on...

There should be no air sound if nothing is changing with the EQ reservoir. During training, they tell you not to swipe it all the way to full...

Starting in rough conditions while in the cab car is definitely tough. IRL the engine does apply tractive force if the brake cylinder pressure is...

So the way this is actually supposed to be set up is that when the locomotive is coasting at speed, one truck is supposed to be in min-dynamic...

It is a known bug; if you release a suppression brake before you are under the target speed, the red circle gets stuck on.

There are honestly so many non-conforming signals on the trenton route that on equipment where I can, I just run with the PTC enabled, but the ATC...

Yes this is normal. The first signal protects the 35 mph curve at roseville interlocking (where the MOBO line comes in), and the second signal...

Short answer is that something is wrong, either with the simugraph or the animation. If the simugraph is calling for zero BC PSI between 50 and 10...

In the case of running sunnyside yard relay services in the timetable, if you are loading up in an Arrow III service, you have to go into the CB...

So the Arrow III brakes are set up as a normal triple valve brake with brake cylinder lockout / in-shot for blended dynamic braking. When you make...

The ALP-45s are prohibited from raising or lowering pantographs in Hoboken because they only have 1, which means there is a risk of arcing to the...

Manual lap brakes AREN'T hard to use, especially on the keyboard. If you're over braking or going into the wrong notch, it's likely because you...

Yes, you need to sit for about 5 min to allow the fans to shut off. Then when you start moving again, they spool back up and you hear the sound.

The diesel engines idle for about 2 minutes after changing over from diesel mode to electric mode. They should shut off after that time period....
