Momentan nicht, aber das haben schon einige Leute angesprochen im englischen Forum und ich meine, die Entwickler haben das Feedback zumindest aufgenommen. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass das im nächsten oder übernächsten Update verbessert wird.

Agreeing on the seconds. In multiplayer I tend to resort to my own wristwatch for that.

Something similar to this has since been implemented. Nicely done.

Nope! pronounce with <ou> is correct. However, its nominalisation, pronunciation, is spelt with <u> and pronounced accordingly.

Mind you, it’s not that landlines can’t also be used to call more signal boxes than just adjacent ones …

Still happened to me today.

In what way does a combination of lower voltage and lower current – with an Ohmic resistive load – ‘overload’ the system? I think what actually happens is that the carriages have electronic converters on board so that they can charge their batteries and run their heating, AC, and other electrical systems at a variety of voltages and AC frequencies. So they have a target heating power, and if the train supply line voltage drops, they’ll respond by simply pulling more current (i.e. decreasing their apparent resistance). Maybe the EP07/EP08 is simply not built for train supply current draw higher than, I dunno, 100 A or 200 A or something …

Also ich hab nichts dergleichen festgestellt. Was ist es denn, was träge reagiert? Reagiert der Zug träge auf die Stellung des Führerbremsventils bzw. Fahrschalters, oder reagieren die Schalter langsam auf deine Tastatur-/Mauseingaben?

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.
