PC Thirdrails Live Map Tracker Now Supports Train Sim World 5

If your email has issues, the forum also has direct user to user messages, just FYI.

 

I forgot DM was available on here, thanks for reminding me.

 

BeenTrain are you using the httpapi? Is there any further information regarding the api somewhere available? More endpoints perhaps?

 

I'm getting a Thirdrails crash when trying to do a DB service:
* Start Service
* Europe
* Search for services from a location - eg Köln Hbf
* List of services appears
* Click on service to see schedule - Thirdrails crash!

Anyone else having this problem?

 

BeenTrain , what kind of insight do you have into the capabilities of this API? Obviously there is no official documentation about it, however, we are also experimenting with it and are looking specifically for a time read out (local, UTC, or whatever, could theoretically simply be a timer which run synchronously with TSW time progression), which we can not find. Have you any more information about this, by any chance?!

Yes, I’d be happy to share what I know about the API!

I’m currently on vacation, so a full deep dive is a bit tricky at the moment, but you can already explore quite a bit yourself.

The API runs on http://localhost:31270/.

Start by checking these endpoints using f.e Postman, dont forget to add the api key in the header called "DTGCommKey"

• http://localhost:31270/list
• http://localhost:31270/info

These give you insight into available nodes and endpoints, great starting points for exploring.

OpenMinded you probably need the TimeOfDay node:../get/TimeOfDay

If you’re using C#, you can also take a look at the TSWData.dll included in the ThirdRails setup. It exposes a TSWDataService that wraps the parts of the API used in ThirdRails (functions, models, etc.).

I do have plans to open-source it in some form soon.

Hope this helps! I’ll be back by the end of next week, so I can provide more info or examples if needed, instantly forgot the details on the beach

 

Helps a great deal already, many thanks!

Have a great remaining holiday, then
