? Also, why do I keep seing texts in boxes? Can't people write normally without the use of these boxes?

I think we need Sosnowiec Poludniowy and Dandowka and the possibility to control both of them from both station (to avoid jumping here and there, unless they're not electronic interlockings)... My... Do I'm learning some Polish names and write them correctly first try. 🤣

Well, as the simulator doesn't have these options, you have to imagine that there are workers in that track, I don't know in other countries, but in Spain you don't use substitute signal for that reason, you tell the driver that between kilometer "x" and kilometer "x" are ongoing works, or that on station "x" there are works over there, the driver needs to either have this written down or trasmitted via telephone and has to aknowledge this information, when he/she arrives at that point, he/she needs to slow down to the situation in front of the train, or if there's is a temporary limit, obey it. I would use substitute signals for: - Broken lvl crossing - Impossibility of doing a route (be it signal failure, point failure or any other similar situation). - Letting a train into an occupied track Can't remember more right now.

I got fooled for a moment here, but the overhead wires gave yourself away. 😝 I really can't wait to create some of my local railways from Spain.

What?

Ah, we'll do that anywhere, even between Katowice Z. and Sosn. Glowny. 🤣

We tend to simulate problems on the tracks in the Spanish server, by changing the automatic blocking system to telephone blocking only (only 1 track will be used in these conditions), not closing level crossings (simulate failure) and thus, forcing the substitute signal, failure of a signal that wont open, etc... No problems so far, it does happen in real life therefore it can/will happen in the game.

Thanks for the info @Stele! That's what I thought, although I'll say that having both platforms would come in handy, thought it's quite irrelevant for the time being.

If it's 2019 then yes, it needs another platform. 🤣 Some Simrail staff can clear the question of what year is the route based on? 😅

Checking Google Earth's timemachine, in February 2018 this station had only 1 platform so my guess is that they recreated the station in a timeline between 2014~Summer 2018, you can also see the evolution of this station and it's diagram here: https://semaforek.kolej.org.pl/wiki/index.php?title=Opoczno_Południe According to this, I think that the route in general is recreated in that year or before, maybe something in between 2017~2018. 🙂

Reasonable that Sosn. Pl should be next one, I still think though that there should be a way to "view" the actual network, be it from a built in CTC or from any other kind of external program (it doesn't need to be visually attractive) that simulates the stations to "supervise" the full lengh of the track, to in case the AI doesn't do its work properly, undo clogging or to prevent them.

What's a "C" type interlocking?

😅

Semaforek web is your friend.

I want this. 😍

Yesterday n the Spanish server we had some trouble with someone doing nothing and blocking trains in one station, and another one spamming the audio channel and stopping trains too. 1st one wasn't AFK as such as we think he was trying to gain experience to unlock other stations, the other one was really annoying too with the audios/music.

If it helps, I've assigned "F9" for PTT.

It appeared the name, but still no timetables.

You know that you can check it on your web browser right? There's no need to use the ingame monitor... Unless you don't have a 2nd monitor.

Yup that's what I think, that they're newbies. When I started with the playtests, I was all alone playing by myself on empty servers, so yeah, I totally agree with you.

Then maybe something like this should be implemented, but perhaps even the devs have thought already on something else, who knows.

Dunno if I have to catalog them as "trolls" as I don't know if they're just starting into the game or what. But we've had on the Spanish server non Spanish speakers messing up big times in Sosn. Gw and in Bedzin by simply not letting trains through. Yesterday we had for example, a player holding trains/not replying to messages at Bedzin.

I was just replying to Footz as he said "how am I supposed to know that just departing from Warsaw"... Obviously this is a tricky situation to mess with, wonder how do they deal with this on TD2 though.

Hmmm... Maybe vote kick between neighboring stations only? Or just maybe between dispatchers.

Dąbrowa Górnicza Ząbkowice appeared yesterday on the EDR.
