fxn02 redet von der echten Bahn in Deutschland. „Die 2“ ist Jargon für den Knopf aufm GSM-R-Zugfunkgerät, der den zuständigen Fahrdienstleiter anruft.

When trying to send train 412014 from Idzikowice to Radzice on track 1 (LK 574), Radzice claims it can’t accept the train because track 1 does not exist. Offering the train on track 2 is accepted, but when I try to set a route towards there, it’s cancelled by the server because it would misroute the train. The bot/AI dispatcher Idzikowice attempts this anyway, again and again, which spams the chat and in the worst case leaves 412014 blocking entry from Opoczno Południe. This happened on server DE3 about three hours ago.

Thank you for the explanation! I assume with an ‘English type’ you mean a double slip, I’ve heard those have limited max speeds even when going straight over them. Though this makes me wonder why Dąbrowa Górnicza main station signal D signals 40 km/h if C2 is at stop. I thought that was due to the reduced braking distance. Is it because of short overlap with the level crossing? Would entry signal O also show a reduced speed of 40 km/h for a route to C1 if C1 were at stop? If the DG interlocking allowed to select a longer overlap, with level crossing secured, would P in that case show S2 instead of S4, and D show S5 instead of S13?

So W19 basically means I have to expect a restrictive aspect at the signal after the next one and if I have a train with bad brakes I should already start braking? If that alone is supposed to make me start braking, then a) why is it just a little inconspicuous arrow and not larger/more obvious, since it’s so safety critical; b) what is the actual speed reduction for?

Sorry, but the ‘you don’t have to go the max speed’ argument is rubbish. How are you supposed to know when and how much to reduce your speed, if not through signalling? How is a freight train with a max speed of 100 km/h, with brakes only just good enough to brake from 100 to a stop in 1 km, expected to come to a stop in, what is this, 500 m? 600 m? after the ‘expect stop’? Yeah, in clear weather you’d see it from several hundred metres back and can start braking in advance, but what if it’s foggy? Are heavy trains supposed to start braking long before the signal ‘just in case’? I’m legitimately curious; how do the signalling and Polish operating rules ensure no SPAD can happen in this case in real life?

Ich spiel mitm Ryzen 3 5300U und 16 GB RAM unter Linux/Proton. Renderauflösung auf 1280×720 runter und die anderen Grafikeinstellungen auch nahe beim Minimum, das geht. Deine CPU und Grafik ist in etwa vergleichbar mit meiner, also sollte auch bei dir machbar sein. Zumal du wahrscheinlich auf Windows spielst und den Overhead von Proton, DXVK und so weiter nicht hast. Du kannst aber mal gucken, ob du deinem Laptop mehr RAM verpassen kannst. Du hast wahrscheinlich ein einzelnes 8-GB-Modul als single channel und wenn der Laptophersteller das vorgesehen hat, hast du einen weiteren Steckplatz frei, wo du ein zweites Modul einbauen kannst. Dual channel macht bei integrierten Grafikchips schon was aus – ich habe meinen Laptop ursprünglich auch mit 8 GB gekauft und später hochgerüstet.

Huh, I didn’t know that. Though my partner’s now telling me that the Bundesbahn in West Germany had a similar system, at least for drivers, before they merged with the GDR’s Reichsbahn and got privatised.

While I do agree with your point that new players should be restricted to easier/less important tasks when they start playing, your claim that it works exactly like that in reality is … not really true. Maybe in the UK it is, I don’t know; but in Germany it definitely isn’t. Signallers always need extra training for the interlocking technology and type they’re working with and for the specific post they’re on. This goes for experienced and new employees alike. Why expend the extra effort to re-train signallers when you could simply train them in the locations and positions where they’re needed in the first place? (Retraining and reassignment still happens, of course. But not generally for this reason.) And looking on the driving side: intercity and regional trains are operated by different companies. What vehicles should an apprentice at DB Fernverkehr be trained for, if not IC or ICE rolling stock? And when they’ve completed training, what trains should they be driving, if not exactly the ones they were trained for? Apart from the organisational barrier, driving regional transport needs different skills than intercity, too. Most local trains have no conductor, so as a driver you’re on your own with handling passengers and with fixing technical problems if they arise. Plus the schedules are usually much tighter, making it more difficult to be punctual.

Ich hab das jetzt gar nicht so verstanden, dass sie auf ne andere Engine umstellen. Wann und wo haben sie das denn gesagt?

You mean to say that real-world dyżurni ruchu have no graphical timetables at their disposal, not even printed ones? I hope that at least the high-level dispatchers/controllers do?!

Honestly, I didn’t understand OP’s suggestion to be about rating by player votes. Rather, I think they were suggesting something similar to the summary you get in driver mode. Generated by the game itself, by its own criteria, not generated from feedback from other players.

That’s perspective distortion for ya.

Wat. If disabling IPv6 on your network interface solves a problem with connecting to a server that doesn’t even have an AAAA DNS RR, then either there’s something very wrong with your network setup, or there’s something very wrong in the game’s code. Don’t think it’s the latter, though, seeing as this is working flawlessly on my machine, where IPv6 is always enabled.

Żyrardów ist momentan das Ende der Strecke. Dahinter die Strecke ist einfach noch nicht im Spiel drin.

Es gibt bei Bluetooth drei recht alte und weit verbreitete standardisierte Protokolle (Profile), mit denen man Audio übertragen kann: HFP und HSP (beide sehr ähnlich, Ein- und Ausgabe jeweils Mono in Telefonqualität), und A2DP (nur Ausgabe*, Stereo, hohe Qualität). HFP oder HSD gleichzeitig mit A2DP benutzen geht nicht. Je nach Betriebssystem bzw. Treibersoftware schalten die Geräte automatisch um, je nachdem, ob ein Programm das Mikro gerade benutzt oder nicht. * Es gibt wohl einige herstellerspezifische Erweiterungen für A2DP, die einen Mikrofon-Rückkanal mit reinbasteln, aber das ist nicht standardisiert und wenig verbreitet. Man muss auf beiden Seiten speziell die Kompatibilität dafür haben.

Have you checked that the audio is actually being sent to your BT headset and not to a different audio device like e.g. built-in speaker, headphones jack, line out, or display audio via HDMI/DP?

I reported this very problem back in the playtests and got the answer at the time that it wasn’t a priority (yet) to simulate the electrical infrastructure properly.

Ząbkowice?!

Ist https://panel.simrail.eu/main/map.html nicht die offizielle Karte? Funktioniert bei mir tadellos.

Counterpoint: on the EDR screen, right click already does something else, so using the same button on the interlocking control screen for exiting would be confusing and inconsistent. Also, you need Esc or Tab for exiting the EDR screen anyway. What’s the trouble with using it for the other kind of screen too?

It’s not a power control, it’s a tractive effort control. At higher speeds it’s always limited by how much electrical power the inverters and motors can safely handle. Try it – find a track where you can drive fast, accelerate to something like 90 km/h, then press OPT+/OPT− while looking at the right-hand display. Both current draw and real tractive force should remain constant despite the changing percentage.

Zum Beispiel auf der Linie KM1 (Warszawa–Żyrardów) oder mit den PWJ-Überführungsfahrten auf der Strecke 4.

I think those are exactly what DazT meant.

Ah, 51 is much more realistic. A RIC-compliant standard-gauge coach without air conditioning.

Cab rides in a multiple unit train or in an actual locomotive? Multiple unit trains have the cab on the same bogies as the passenger compartment, with air suspension and all. Locomotives don’t have that. Though I also think the lurching you see in SimRail when driving over point frogs or rail joints are a tad excessive sometimes.
