With this thread, I’ll be creating a tutorial for people who are not too sure on now the fault simulation works. What Is Fault Simulation? the fault simulation is a feature found within the new expert 101 coming soon, this isnt found on the BR 101 itself irl, but has just been added as a fun gimmick exclusively for the game. How does it work? The fault simulation goes from 0 - 100% 0% being no faults at all and 100% being absolute hell The higher up in numbers you go on the chaos factor, the higher the chance of a fault simulated in game. I think how it works is that the higher you go up, the more multiplied the chances will be. so for example, if you set the chaos factor to 88%, there is an 88x more chance that a fault will occur over 1%, etc… These numbers can be set on the number pad below, if you want to turn on simulation mode, for authenticity, EDIT: as user OpenMinded suggested, the 1% equals to a realistic failure occurrence, which is about as realistic as the drivers say it to be. Click the St Button at the top of the display, it’s on the right side where Ebula will be. Clicking this will activate the fault simulator. And then just punch in whatever number suits you best. a fun thing to do is to go on KWG, set the fault simulation to 100% and try and drive the entire route, that’ll be fun Anyways, I hope this will clear any confusion up about the fault manager. cheers - mr southern driver.
Maybe one addition, as explained by Lukas during the stream. The 1% equals to a realistic failure occurrence. At least as realistic as real drivers have said they would occur.
The desktop screen as you describe is actually realistic, the use as a fault simulation is not, but of course that's because of the need of it being used in a train simulator, and because the fault simulation is train-based, rather than core-based. You can see this kind of user interface, just with a plain grey background (or black if in dark mode, objectively the best) on other apps on this screen, such as the brh calculator.
I dont know how old y'oure but dont forget that this loco is from the early 90's so this type of screens was normal in that time and they use it now days. The same like the 402 and 401.....
I remember a while ago, they were indeed recruiting IT people with knowledge of windows 3.11. I don't know for which types of trains though
