DovetailGAMES Both Sand Patch and Peninsula Corridor US Crossing's don't work right. The crossings stay down when there is not even a train near by. Also they don't never go up or come down when a train is on the approch to the crossings. Both crossings don't even have bell sounds when the crossings are down. Why is this issue still not fix on these routes?
This is as designed. They are not supposed to be working, because the use a huge amount of performance. DTG intends to fix this some day, but to be honest, at Sandpatch they are working for TSW2020 but I never noticed ... It would be nice to have though at some time ...
This is intentional. According to the devs, animated crossings would cause lag. I personally don't think it's a big deal because you are only seeing them for a couple seconds anyways. Correct me if i'm wrong but the bells on Peninsula Corridor do work. But I think there are some crossings that don't have sounds which is odd. But on SPG it looks like it was intentional to have no bells. I'm not familiar with the crossings on Sand Patch Grade, but I know very well that lots of crossings on the east coast shut off their bells once the gates are down. So DTG may have been mimicking that.
