Hello, I drove at night yesterday and saw a rather unrealistically oversized moon. Maybe you can take a look on this. 🙂 Regards

I still have the problem. Is there a fix coming? 🙂

I send out the message when I see the red lights of a train after passing my signal box, making sure it hasn't lost any cars on the way (even if it is not implemented yet).

Hello, there's a switch on the panel in Opoczno, which isn't there in the actual game. Maybe you can give an explanation for this. Thanks!

Makes sense, as your system has more to do with calculating all the shadows created by vegetation and everything else.

The game is on a M.2 SSD.

Hello, I've experienced an issue with the AI dispatcher on the high speed line. When driving the Pendolino, I get some green blinking and yellow signals along the way. That doesn't bother me, especially because it does make the ride more exiting, but only if it had a valid purpose - most of the times, I get to speeds below 100km/h after a "danger ahead" semaphore and then the signal in front of me turns green again - not yellow or anything, which would mean there's a train ahead, but that's not true. There are also no trains waiting at any siding and no option to leave to another route (e.g Olzsamowice), so really no reason for me to give up my whole momentum and therefore losing some minutes in my timetable (annoying when late). Just ignoring these yellow signals isn't a good option either, sometimes there's really something in front of you. It only happens when approaching a station (so not on the open line with automatic block signals, I mean the semi-automated ones). I guess this is not intentional, as it would be quite uncomfortable for the passengers when the train does some quite some heavy braking and then accelerating quickly again every 10 - 20 minutes. I hope you understand what I mean. Thanks!

Thanks for your response and sorry for the late reply. I can't reproduce this error every time, but at least 60% of my "joins" in a relay dispatch position end up having a dark panel. I've had this error in Zawiercie as well, and for other stations I can't really tell as they're occupied almost all the time (using other servers wouldn't make sense as there my ping is very high and that could result in this I guess). Sometimes the panel loads up with the rest of the server (when joining, e. g the player list loads for a second too), but if it doesn't it just stays dark. I tried rejoining, but after 2 or 3 times someone else is going to take my signal box.

I'm experiencing the same kind of issue using a RTX 3060 (12 GB VRAM), 16 GB 3200Mhz RAM and Ryzen 7 5700X. The game is on a M.2 SSD, but I have massive stutters sometimes, as well as drops in fps from around 70 to 10 or less. Haven't had that before. I've installed a new GPU-driver since then, but I doubt that this is the issue as I don't have any issues in other games. I think just before Psary (coming from Warszawa) it has been the worst, as I couldn't tell that the signal was blinking for a speed restriction because of these low fps and then running into a 100-restriction with 200km/h. Would be very happy if the devs could look this up.

Hello, I would really wish that the doors on the Pendolino and EC-Wagons would be usable like on the EN96. It would be just a very nice detail. Thanks!

Hello, when trying to dispatch at Dabrowa Gornicza Wschodnia, I can't use the dispatcher panel. Its completely dark, I get no tool tips (when the mouse is above the buttons) and I can't set any signals or switches. Been waiting for 3 - 4 minutes, won't do it longer as I don't want to create any jams. Is this a known problem? Thanks SimRail_log_2023-03-12_12-21-19.txt

I can only agree. I want to drive without the whole next speed, signal and distance to next station menu, but I can't because then I couldn't see how long I have to wait at a stop. If they only would separate the cheat menu and the little timer with the green checkmark.

Die Idee finde ich auch sehr gut und nötig. Sonst werden da bestimmt auch Troller kommen, die einen absichtlich auf das falsche Gleis schicken, ewig warten lassen oder sonst was. Denke mal dass solche Leute dann das Interesse an sowas verlieren würden, wenn sie zunächst eine Prüfung oder dergleichen absolvieren müssen. Ich glaube aber es werden hier nur Beiträge auf Polnisch und Englisch wirklich beachtet. Vielleicht könnte Major_Tom ja den selben Beitrag im englischen Teil des Forums veröffentlichen.

That's exactly what I'm doing. I don't care about points either. I love simulations (I have more then 500 hours in Zusi 3 if you know that), but still it's a bug that should be reported. Especially if this feature gets important for what things you can and can't do in the final version. If this then gets resetted each time, the game experienced would be pretty bad i would imagine.

I have driven for around 900km (according to the loading screen), played for 40 hours and still on level 1. Something's broken indeed.

The overall sound design of this sim is amazing indeed. Hearing these traction blowers and engines in the EU07 is great too. They've really done a great job there.

Hello, as you probably know, when at regulator setting 43 in the EU07, it can take some time to reach the 0-position when holding down the "downshift" button. I had this issue several times when this procedure just took too long, e. g when a "danger ahead" signal appears or you have to cut the power at a power disconnect point (however you call it). This made me wish for a button to quick-set the regulator to the 0-position, just as the brake lever has this button too (6 on the numpad by default). You can see this being done much faster in real life: Thanks!

Hello, I arrived from the high speed railway with an EC, came to a stop infront of a signal at Zawiercie and had two trains in front of me with a red signal too but without any visible reason (no train ahead of that as seen on the map). Something was bugged with the signal too. It was red, but the Hud showed me that I can pass it with 20km/h, allowing me to ram the other train. I guess that shouldn't happen. DE 2 was the server. Merry christmas to everyone, I would be very happy if you could investigate the issue.

But that would create a white flash. Guess it's a bug, but personally I haven't experienced that yet.

When I had my first dispatcher session I thought that would be the sound of a derailing train and the sound that my character does because of that, lol. I'm glad that was not the case.

That's clear to me. Still they could add an indicator from what to what station/waypoint a train is going on the server right now and show it on the map next to the selection screen. Have you read what I wrote?

Hello everyone, when you're a driver and want to select the train you want to drive, you get the information about departure time, drive time and the train number. Unfortunatly, you get no information about where a train is (currently in the server) and where it's going, e. g from Opoczno to Katowice or back. Also I've experienced that the departure time is very much off because of delay, so that's pretty unuseable then. I once managed to actually select one train going all the way from Katowice to Opoczno, but once I've arrived there, due to my lack of knowledge in regards of the timetable of the route, I couldn't find a train that goes back as I wanted it to do. That's making the search for a train unnecessary difficult. Same with the stopper trains (these modern EMUs), as there's no information about the current location of these trains, you either spawn somewhere in the middle of a drive, or near to the train's destination. Rather, I'd rather drive that train "from the start" to "the finish", just as far as the current route available in the game would allow me to do. I've seen a map of all the trains running somewhere in this forum, where can I find that? Otherwise, I'm really looking forward to the future of this sim. Thank you for reading.
