Loco Santa Fe On Cajon Pass Feedback Thread

That's what I was wondering, how does one find out if the EOT fell off the rear, during a run?

 

Does the provided EOTD at least has the turbine whine? A high pitched sound that makes you feel you're at the dentist's for a root canal job ....
Run8 has it, RailRoader has it, but does TSW?

 

No savy with locos on this but why does the SD40 lose power randomly then comes back on.

 

It could be when the locomotive is making transition from series to parallel of the traction motors. At around 24-25 MpH you should see an amperage drop and hear the switch gear making the transition, at least on Run8 and RailRoader.
So you should avoid cruising at transition speed.

This isn't the first SD40-2 model in TSW, and I doubt DTM did a whole new scripting on this repaint.

 

Thanks

ATSF Grain Extra service from Barstow to Victorville, and then Summit and San Bernardino. I was stopped by a red light when I arrived in Victorville, the ATSF Helper Drop off service was stuck in Victorville ..... I found out that starting at 7:25, when the service starts, results in a wrong switch in Victorville and blocks the completion of the ATSF Helper Drop off service ....... but the most important thing is that I have around 25-30 FPS the whole ride .... that has never happened to me on this map, and the service with Dash 8 does not have such bad numbers either, I have around 50-60 FPS there ........ where could the problem be?

 

The BNSF eotd does have that noise it’s just very quiet.

 

Am I correct in understanding that the HOTD doesn't work on the Dash 8, and it's not available at all on the SD 40?

 

very bad wheel animations

In case of starting the Grain train service, the FPS drops by 50%, for example from 60 to 30 ...... I tried different trains and so far I have discovered a problem with Grain cars

 

You might have blur animation ,checked in settings.

 

We really hope they push out a update on this stuff. We buy it and then its wrong. TSW would do great on the US Side but the DLC Stuff has to be right and not just a reskin.

 

After watching the videos of ambassadors and reading the feedback posted here, i'm not getting the pack , at least for now , and i will also wait for a big discount. same bad engine sounds, no train faults, no suspension physics on the SD40-2 , and inaccuracies inside the cabs are simply too much to handle

 

If I had it to do again, I would wait for it to go on sale with a price no more than $5.

 

that is not some setting (not blur animation) since it only happens with this DLC
when the wheels are not in motion they look kind of lower texture
then the wagon wheels on the modern time table of cajon pass on that the animated wheels are totally fine
