During my travels in Romania from Bihor to Constansa when i was young I recall in some of the major stations, the train started small and then more wagons were added to it but also one particular practice i recall was that i heard a hammer beeing tapped against the wheel? So what's the theory behind it? There is a job of a Wheeltapper. A wheeltapper is a railway worker employed to check the structural integrity of train wheels and that axle boxes are not overheating. Hammering of metals to identify internal flaws, by observing the different types of emitted sounds, is a very rudimentary method. In Simrail, the feature would add a "wheel tapper" where if the train is at the station for more than 1 minute, he would do a random inspection, you would hear him tapping at random carriges and maybe see him do it as well. What do the images explain? The red locomotive: A wheeltapper signing off after checking the wheels of a train at Budapest-Keleti railway station in 2014. He has placed his long hammer on the train's buffers The orange man: A wheeltapper's hammer with the rings. The man walking by passanger carriges on dirt foothpath: A wheeltapper at work on the Bulgarian railway in 2009.

Your ET22 locomotive's horn blasts are heard a few, very few meters in front and it is only heard when facing the locomotive. in other train simulators, the horn blasts are heard at a 360 degree and from at least a kilometer away which makes it a joy to blast the horn avalible

There is a gameplay issue where with any tutorial, the narrator repeats the same line too many times. You should increase the timer so its mentioned once and text should dissapear as well because the items are highlighted which is sufficient.

I would like to propose a development colaboration between Simrail dev and TrainSim Romania dev in regards to re-working or green light for a alternative passanger wagon car sound set based on the ones in Romania. These are pretty much identical to the ones you have here just diffrent operator. Bellow is a 3hr video with a trip from Bucharest Nord to Brasov in romania, TS2024. Fortunatly TS2024 is a boogaloo in regards to 3rd party DLC so I gave up on it. You can also reach out to https://train-motion.com/ The main problem with Romanian 3rd Party DLC for Train Sim 2024 is the cost. I was looking at a freeware route and then i was looking at the dependacies. The cost of the dependecies is 240 euro. Again I have no idea why romanian developers are so cruel finacially. So as a Romanian overseas my idea is to have the wagons sounds like these because they are practically the same but as mentioned diffrent operator. Nobody in their right mind woul spend 240 euros on DLC just to make one route work properly.

See if a colaboration between Simrail Dev and Derail Valey dev for steam. DV dev is very deterimend on optimisation and performance and their steam looks good. See how they went about it.

Well in the history of train simulation SimRail is the first of it's kind to require a 16gb vram graphics card which is something i have right now. It's a valid point. Tho there is mention here and there the development team is aiming to optimise the game more. However its not really something that has a set date. It's a tough spot to be in.

oh glorious steam! steam heating would be very exciting to see in this game, especially for the old wagon types you have just introduced recently in the full release. It would look something like this. The passangers are cold and they need heating now.

The feature to explore the passanger wagons in depot would be very good. You can appply the same principle as with the enter of locomotive cabin. You have done a good job with the new old wagons. I would love to walk around and have a seat, open a window even.

The Ty2 steam locomotive seems to have a very un-balanced sound system present. If you want to hear the chuffs and the locomotive working on the external view, you can only do that at the very front of the steamer. if you focus on the camera further down towards the cabin, the working sounds and chuffs are basically silent (in external view still). If you focus on the wheels, they are also too quiet. If you are the very rear of the steam engine the sounds are drowned by the wagons. The interior sound is very powerfull, just a little too powerfull.

I agree, It's an overlooked topic. When I travled to the black sea in Rumania, I always listened to the breaks. They used the entire train's breaks each time, all the wagons. And it was a soft gradual breaking each time, they avoided prolong use of them, train stopped right where it needs to. Often sometimes the breaks were left on as it was within the station platform.

Here we have a nice example of freedom on the rails through a diesel locomotive. This example covers the SU46 029 and it is against the backdrop of the village of Poland. It was taken in 2022. That there also is a hint on route as well. Plus we cannot forget the classic tanker cars.

I am very curious what am i looking at here. This locomotive appears to be older than the current one we have in the simulator.

I was looking at the rain droplets on the windows and they aren't quite the most realistic in behaviour, other sims that "got it right" form what I can tell is SCS Software's Truck simulators, DTG's Train Simulator Classic and Derail Valley "The Simulator". It's not urgent to look at but would be good to. Top sim that did raise an eye brow with rain effects and droplets does actually go to Derail Valley by Alt Future. Worth looking at that for reference or ideas.

These vidoes are so fantastic. It's pure pleasure.....

they are almost extinct yes, but not forgotten. There also double decker coaches two that would also fall into this box. We are thinking of them as well and hope to see them one day. There is intrest in the whole thing.
