Agree Vern smaller chunks or i still advocate for a save function. Which apparently is coming sometime in the distant future.

It worked yesterday Vern, door opened so my bad. Although i was in the toilet in MP, with the service careering down the line out of control. As i had to turn off the bot, to be able to leave the driver seat.

Very quickly going off this mess of a game. So buggy it is unbelievable. Another dumb feature i came across yesterday. Was not being able to leave the drivers seat in the EN57 cab, while the AI was controlling the service. Maybe ride as a passenger, but no proper passenger view. BUT you can switch off the autopilot while the train is in motion. Get out of the seat and wander down the train, while it carries on out of control. I am beginning to think the developers are just another lot of DTG clones.

Why do the english tool tip descriptions keep disappearing. I have them enabled so i can hover over controls, buttons etc. But in an ET22 scenario i was trying to do earlier. The loco would not move (it was not a cold and dark start), after i tripped something. But could not reset the loco, because i had no idea which switch or button i needed to use. If you want an international player base, everything written in Polish doesn't cut it. Without reliable alternate descriptions.

What exactly is the paper representation of the timetable for. I cannot get it to display anything, except the front cover by clicking on it.

Has the toilet door been disabled. I couldn't get it to open on the EN57, yesterday.

Oh dear oh dear Vern. Mrs M is not going to be a happy lady with you 🤣 🤣. I still cannot move the ET22 from cold, wrote everything down while doing the tute, but still will not go. So have resorted to MP, so i can drive it after the Bot has kindly warmed her up 😂.

It sucks that a player even has to complete a tutorial, to play MP. You paid for the game, so your access is being restricted unfairly. I got some message earlier on MP, that i was idle and would be ejected or words to that effect. I wasn't idle i tripped the safety system on the EU07 going up a gradient, by applying too much power. Then i could not restart and kept rolling back. So i switched to Bot control and that could not stop the roll back. So no i wasn't idle, i was doing my best to get moving. Not enough written manuals for this game. I do a tutorial and because of my age (in my 70's) and my ill health. 5 minutes after i do the tutorial i have forgotten half of it. Lets get some written info for all the loco's and emu's and stop expecting people to do the tutorials. Before they get the full (what they paid for) access to the game.

Platforms need amount of passengers set, in regards time of day. As can be adjusted in the platform properties in TSC. So what the game really needs are public editors, so that we can do this. Developers obviously have too much to cope with already. As we are still in early access and the game was originally called SimRail 2021.

As far as i understand it the ET22 was designed as a freight loco. So why is the tutorial on a passenger service. Would be good to see a tutorial on a freight service on the other route (not sure of it's name). Then players get a choice.

I bought the new DLC, but only because i got it at £15 and not pay £20 some time in the future. Apart from a save function, the game really needs a main line diesel. All these sparky loco's get boring after a while. What do we want.......... a save.........when do we want it........... now.

Save feature is a must Vern. Without it that is me not buying anything more for the game. No interest in MP, so SP needs to be supported properly.

There isn't an EMU or DMU on the planet. That would stick to the rails, like the EN57-71 in SimRail. There should be sway all the time, increased sway and bounce over points and junctions. Plus some hunting at top speeds.

Thanks for reminding me about Maszyna, mluczak.kutno. I played it many many years back. Just installing the latest version, after i believe seeing that it includes the SU45 and SU46.

Yeah but no using them in the station Vern. There are standards you know buddy 😁😉

Oh and why have i only got "Early Access" in my profile. I also did the "Playtests". Credit where credit is due developer doods.

Practice makes perfect, points make prizes. This is a good game, but it needs more written and video information.

EN57-71 have opening toilet doors and a working flush.

No idea what it is supposed to do buddy, so no idea if it toggles or doesn't toggle. Or if it is just plain annoying.

What is this supposed to do. Clicked mouse wheel and it appears. https://i.ibb.co/5xstsH3/20231123120649-1.jpg

Less important i would like to be able to use "keyboard E" to also sit in the passenger seats. Particularly when allowing the consist to contine running in "auto" mode in MP.

Vern i gave up on MP with the EN57. But did the SP tute with it. Lovely unit to drive, load of messing about running up and down the unit to set the control switches though. BIG ALSO, it needs cab sway and bounce badly. Just no feed back to it from the track bed, particularly over junctions. With that added this would be my number one class to drive. Until a main line diesel class is added. As i said before twice, brilliant update and nice to see what the developers are capable of doing.

Great update, but unable to find an EN57 on the english servers. As i don't intend talking to anyone, does it matter which server i run on ? Whoever designed the EN57 real world. Needs shooting putting the battery box in the centre car. Lovely update though and no asking for more money, unlike N3V & DTG. Well done to the developers. SP updates and a save in part 2 of the improvements please boys.

No idea Vern, in the game changing the settings and it crashed on me. Waited this long for the cat to get off my pc chair, to have a look. He is the boss here. 😆 Mike.

Yup but you are comparing SimRail, with rubbish Vern. OpenRails has better sounds than TSW4 and most are freeware.
