wait till you get onto the multiplayer side, thats where this sim shines, a thousand or so services to drive over the 24 hours of timetables.

As the ET22 does not have windscreen washers (sprinklers) Can we have an option to wash the flies off the screen manually with a bucket of water?

The same windows in the EP08-001... Showing the -013 loco is missing interior reflections / dirty glass texture maybe?

The glass is present, it's just very very clean 🙂 When it rains you can see it, so i guess there is a missing texture on those pains of glass.

Yeah, it's the grey cab ones.

I'm wondering if the lack of the hassler tacho ticking in the blue EP08, and one of the EU/EP07's is intentional? I had a theory that the loco has been rotated so we are driving from the 'B' cab, which does not have the recording equipment in the tacho, but going to the rear cab you can see the other tacho is different... no kilometer counter and stuff like that. Is the ticking missing a bug, or are some hassler tacho's really silent?

waiting at signals is part of train driving in the real world, i've been sat at the entrance signal for opoczno heading south, had an EC train in the platform, a pendolino passed me left track, then another pendo passed me from the other direction about 5 mins later, Then finally the EC train left the platform, and finally it was my turn, That's the kind of thing you expect at a single platform off the main line.... that platform was put there to please an MP who lived in the village and wanted rail access after all, so it's always going to be an afterthought thing.

that's part of the fun of dispatching Opoczno, you have to juggle things about to make it all work. There's new timetables coming out when we get the line extensions that may take care of that.

perfect to be added to the 1980's route?

i agree, the rain droplets build up to form a sort of square lattice pattern, the wipers also wipe more than the blade's size. Something that could possibly be improved on, if that's possible, and the rain is not a hard baked in part of unity.

You can turn the STM32's into arduino's if you want, ..... arduino's with a 32 bit cpu and i think 12 bit ADC's for the analog inputs etc. You use the same STM programmer used to flash it with the FreeJoy software, and when it's flashed as an arduino, it shows up as an Arduino Maple board, and it can be programmed using the Arduino IDE as if it were an arduino board. I've done this a few times on projects in the past, as i bought a load of cheap STM32's when i was using them with FreeJoy as joystick controllers. https://www.stm32duino.com/

yes, it may have it on the Dutch network, but on the Polish network which SimRail is simulating, it doesn't. like the pendolino trains tilt in some countries... hence their name, but in Poland the tilting function is locked out.

Not in the ones used in the region of Poland the sim covers,

yes that would be a cool addition and add to the realism. I sometimes get so engrossed in driving a train in SimRail with my 3D printed controllers, i actually have raised my hand to wave at other drivers... then remembered all i can do is flash my lights or honk the horn. i use face tracking too, so where i look the view changes, and i often wonder if my drivers head moves to match that, i've sometimes turned the head torch on and moved my head side up and down at night to other drivers, but not sure if they can see the head torch or if it moves with my head.

Like i mentioned before, SimRail is a train driving and signalling simulator, it is the same thing that's used to train real life train drivers, SimKol the parent company make training simulators.... they have basically given us the general public access to the kind of software you'd usually only get to experience if you applied for a job at the PKP. Again, SimRail is a consumer version of the real life training simulator software, As it's all a computer simulation to be used by the general public, you have to add some things to help them like the HUD... which i don't use btw, i have my own versions of the paper timetables displayed on an external screen that give me all the info about the service and line i need. The whole idea of SimRail is it's as close to reality as possible without making at something that you'd need to spend a few weeks at technical school learning how the trains work before being able to understand things. Is it? weird, i managed to play GTA online for years never having a microphone connected to my pc, See this socialising on multiplayer games thing can come to bite you, there are some people who only bought SimRail because it's multiplayer, they thought they could make new friends / find a partner on here or something. They have no idea how a train works, how it should be driven, what the infrastructure is etc. Things like that are why there's reviews on steam saying 'it's so hard to figure this out' or 'it's far too complicated compared to xyz train game' That's the whole idea of SimRail, simulating the reality of train driving within the limitations of being a computer simulation. You asked for a fictional button or slider to be added to the radio's microphones to limit the range! if you have to chat to other people whilst driving the trains of dispatching, use discord of facebook chats on your phone whilst you are using SimRail. Like Bazinga pointed out above... sometimes you need all your concentration on what is going on in the sim, it's summer now so pretty easy to drive most trains, Just wait till it's winter again, and you are battling to get traction on damp or icy rails, whilst there is ice on the overhead line so you have to watch the Kv meter and reduce power or you'll trip out. All the while looking out for signals, and signs, like the ones for the neutral and pantograph down sections, plus the hundreds of temporary speed limits, then the last thing you want is a few others on the radio greeting each other and demanding you reply you reply to them too.
