Hello Everyone/DTG, I played around with the new NY - Trenton DLC yesterday after work for a bit and found some things that should and could be corrected. I've ordered them from serious to on the pedantic side. Serious - NJT Braking - In both the ALP46 and Multilevel Cab, the application rate doesn't seem to be smooth, instead it stutters up. If you place the auto brake in the apply position the pressure will go up in increments of fives and sixes through the teens and then increase exponentially from there. I seem to remember the equipment in TSC braking much, much more smoothly. - NJT ATC/ASES - The braking rate demanded by the safety systems is pretty extreme. I found in the training scenario with the ALP46 that you essentially end up having to dump your air when reacting to a signal drop. This is extremely frustrating when going from an Approach/Approach Medium Aspect down to a Restricting aspect when you would normally only need a minor brake application but instead end up coming to a crawl or a dead stop. - Amfleet Sounds - The Amfleet door opening/closing sounds are much louder than in reality and don't sound quite right, especially in Penn Station. You'd never hear the doors close on a Regional two tracks away. They are also missing the closing "alarm bell". DTG I live 20-minutes away from the Hudson Division and ride Empire Trains semi-regularly. I would be happy to do recordings to help with sound accuracy. - NJT ASES Training - At one point the instructor refers to ASES as ACES, and states that the unit must be placed into a "suppression" application, when the NJT units do not have a suppression state on the auto brake handle. - NJT ASES & Amtrak ACSES Training - The NJT train that departs Secaucas ahead of you on the left does not have either pantograph up on the ALP. Minor/Pedantic - Amtrak Cab Car - The Amtrak Cab Car information in both the menu and training session is incorrect. The unit is a Metroliner Cab Car, not an Amfleet. The Metroliner EMU design was used as the basis for the Amfleets, but was never considered an Amfleet; this is still true today. - ACS64 Training Info - The training session for the ACS64 mentions that the unit replaced "electro motive diesels" built in the 70's; the unit replaced AEM-7 electrics, built by Electro-Motive Division. - Bell Quality of Life - PLEASE consider an alt-shift control for activating/deactivating the bell on North American trains. If high and low tones can be used on UK and European trains using the "x" button in conjunction with the horn, doing the same for the bell should not be that big a deal. Having to look at and engage and disengage the bell in the cab gets old fast.
I’m having the same issue with the braking with the NJT I’m so confused with it. I wish it was like the Amtrak braking system
I walked by collecting collections. There is the point where the scenery including the station square is funny. There is not a feeling of noise that a signal grieves at on a general road on the road where a station and a step and the foot of the rotary sink into. I feel the point that some scenery left to be sloppily. It seemed to be surrounded extinguishant on a tire, and a parking truck along the line is white
