Route Replays/ride Your Own Train!

Ever done a really smooth stop on braking 1 from a mile and landed on the stop mark and want to experience it as passenger? Or pulled off a last second emergency stop on a tube train and wondered what it would be like from a passengers perspective?

My idea is: Route Replays/Ghost Ride Your Own Train
This effictivley records a in-game 'replay' of your session, not as a video but the game itself. After your game you can spawn yourself in as passenger on your replay to ride your own service you just drove.This could be linked in with passenger mode, when it comes out.

Before you start a scenario you will have to check a box 'Enable Replays'. It will effictivley record another scenario, where the train you just drove, will be driven by your past self, all the actions you did, with the replay you then can walk on your own train to experience your own driving.This will be good for users who want to master braking and overal handling of the train.

How will it record? To save storage, it will effictivley 'key frame' your inputs, only when take action it will log them. For example if I take power and then don't do anything for 15 seconds then do some braking, rather than recording every tick, the software will operate based on only when I interacted with the game.

Power Notch 4 (user input at 01:03:23, replaying)
Wait 14.43 Seconds (as no user input in this period) <-- being efficienct, rather than recording each tick
Brake Notch 1 (user input at 01:17:66, replaying)

Basically the game only records when you do something, however the replay will be indetical to your drive as records the waiting times/gapsbetween actions.

Basically, logic wise this shouldn't be to much of an obstacle, it also should not be resource demaning as it's a simple log that the game can write to, to record and read and interpret for replays, simple but very effective and puts the all ready in built resources to good use.

Thanks

 

May need to do this suggestion in video form if it's a bit hard to understand

 

This would be a great suggestion. I would definitely help people see how hard they brake

 

Thank you, I also feel like this suggestion is also quite easy to dismiss due to the wording needed to describe it to the creators, whereas with routes locos people can easily just say their names.
