DESCRIPTION When you approach Parzniew platform 1 from Brwinów with a short train, if you stop at the Brwinów end of the platform and open the doors, you recieve a -10pts doors open penalty despite being next to the platform. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1) Take over a short train from travelling from Brwinów to Parzniew. 2) Stop the train so it is fully against the platform, but at the Brwinów end (stop as soon as you can). 3) Open the doors 4) You will receive a "Doors opened outside station" penalty. EXPECTED RESULT Opening the doors when the train is against the platform (no matter where) will not result in a doors opened outside station penalty. LOGS The log file is attached, the error occurred around 23/04/2024 2020 BST on EN1. SimRail_log_2024-04-23_19-32-50.txt

On the Idzikowice panel, the NP 2S light at (67,09) does not light when right-clicked. It does still allow left tracked trains through though.

Andreis the duck also spotted that points set 61 locks towards the route that is set, when it should lock parallel to it.

In Grodzisk, points 57 (green circle) lock when a route is set from Z to N4 (pink dotted line on the map). They shouldn't.

The horn sign on track 1 etween Olszamowice and Wloszczowa Polnoc near milepost 141.7 does not give 50 points when you honk.

BUG On the normal line between Sprowa and Kozlow, the horn sign between milepost 5.5 and 5.3 does not give 50 points when honking.

This is an absolutely awesome thread, Gazz292. Thank you for updating it. Extra straw in your barn for you. Baa!

Can confirm I have seen the panda-lino bug since the winter update. Screenshot attached.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1) Enter and activate the cab for an EN57, so you can start driving. 2) Use the keyboard to blow the horn. By default, 'J' should sound the low horn tone and 'H' the high horn tone. 3) When you press J, the 'High' horn pedal in the cab depresses and the high horn tone blows. 4) When you press H, the 'Low' horn pedal in the cab depresses and the low horn tone blows. EXPECTED RESULTS WHen you press the low horn key, the low horn tone blows. When you pressd the high horn key, the high horn tone blows.

In the timetable at Lazy LA, trains going to Zawiercie on Track 4, Line 186 are shown as going to Line 4. The panel shows this as Track 4, Line 186. The timetable should say Line 186.

When dispatching at Sosnowiec Poludniowy, if you refuse to accept a train from Dandowka twice, Dandowka should let you send a train.

This feature request is for AI bot trains to send a message via the radio text box when they are stopped at a semiautomatic (red and white pole) signal and it has passed the time they were due to pass it, when that signal is currently being controlled by a human player, or thirty seconds after a new human player joins a signalbox. The bot should repeat the message every five minutes.

Click the 'Ninguna' button, and it will show a dialog inviting you to press the key you wish to assign to it. Once you press the key, that key will become the key for that function. I remember that, for me, the wipers key was unassigned until I specifically added a key for it. Baa!

Pendolino Pressing [Shift] + [ _ ] turns off the cruise control. This opens up a new way of driving it with the keyboard, without having to zoom in on the cruise control screen or squint. 1) Join the cab. Reach the speed you want to using the throttle (or the brake). 2) Press [+] to set the speed. 3) Turn the brakes off and the throttle to max if it's not already there. 4) When you want to change the speed, either a) SLOW: Set the throttle to 0 and use the brakes to reach the desired speed, then press [=] and [Shift] [+] to set the throttle back to maximum. b} FAST: Press [Shift} + [ _ ] to turn off cruise control. let the train speed up to the desired speed. Press [ = ] to set the desired speed. For those that do macros, I use the following to set and unset cruise control (with the default keys) SET: [NumPad_6] to release the brakes [=] to set cruise control to the current speed. [Shift] + {NumPad_+] to set the throttle to maximum UNSET: [Shift] + [NumPad_-] to release the throttle [Shift] + [ _ ] to release the cruise control.

Courtesy of @DazT You can open the Pendolino cab windows to your left and right hand side. This has a side effect of allowing a lot more sound in and makes driving the Pendolino more interesting (for me, at least).

Another ELF tip: Double pressing the horn key (either H or J by default) allows you to sound both horns at the same time. So H-H (long hold).

Exactly that. Baa!

When the points move, they should make a sound that can be heard. Original idea from @Atoka220

You can turn the desk light off in the Elf, the switch is located by the radio microphone where your left shin would be in the cab. Baa!

Just been talking with @DeadlyKungFu.Ninja on Discord, and he says: and @DazT adds: UPDATE: I was able to successfully hill start the 2000t 629xxx on the hill entering Psary and another 1500t train somewhere I cannot remember. The extra current and liberal use of sand helped get the speed up to 10kmh and then it was easy to drive again. BAAA! @Sean the Sheep says:

BUG 1) Train 412034 leaves Opoczno Poludonie towards Idzikowice, for onward dispatch to Radzice. 2) Idzikowice asks Radzice for permission to send it on Line 2. 3) Radzice says Line 2 track is clear. 4) Signalman attempts to create a route for Line 2. The message appears in the chat box that the route will send the train in the wrong direction. EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR When a signalman asks for permission to send a train on the wrong track, the other signalbox will refuse permission.

@Kuzo kind of found this, but I was doing it anyway. When dispatching in a signalbox and the AI requests to send a train on a particular track that is not it's usual one, you MUST specify the track number when you approve the request, otherwise the AI signalbox will not dispatch the train.

...or the person who wants to be a train driving sheep that met the Polish Railway Minister while he was climbing Mount Snowdon and also does dispatching...

EN1 12/07/23 1029 BST 42936 was routed to a track without a platform at Tunel. It was due to stop there. SimRail_log_2023-07-12_10-16-48.txt

When using a superwide screen resolution, domino panel buttons either become too long or their shadows become so big as to obscure the lights and make them difficult to click. The attached screenshot shows the problem.
