On all trains with modern pantographs with 2 contact strips the sparking on icy wires is in the middle of the pantograph, where it doesn't actually touch the wires so no sparking is possible here. Instead the sparking should be located at the 2 contact points with the wire.

2025-02-23 15-33-49.mp4 Old bug that I kept forgetting to report (tried once but forum didn't like the video file for some reason) Basically the animation speed on the pantographs are too slow to follow the wire correctly at speed as seen in this video. Video taken at the viaduct on LK186, this is an area where this effect is particularry visible but it happens all over the map wherever there is a steep enough change in wire height. I've not tested it with all trains but those I have tested it with (186 TRAXX, Dragon 2 and EP08) all have this same issue, so this might need to be looked at on all trains. Also it isn't just the pantograph not following the wire correctly, as when driving slowly or when stopped the pantographs are on the wire propperly

this yellow floating banner appears in the inside of coach A9mnouz_6151_1970_214_5 whenever the door is open, with the door closed it goes away.

the internal doors on some coaches have missing textures, the ones I've seen it on so far are: 61 51 21- 70 064-0 B11bmnouz 61 51 21- 70 107-7 B11gmnouz 61 51 21- 70 098-8 B11bmnouz

Just started the scenario here with the Kibel cold and dark. The curtains are closed on both cabs (nice detail that) but the windows including the drivers window are open, doesn't seem like a secure way to leave a train cold and dark...

Joined a train after the restart, at the end of the temporary speed restricition the upcoming speedlimit indicator in the hud has a speed of 250km/h. I think this is because I didn't pass any signs or signals since the restart and therefore the game didn't know what my previous allowed speed was. The allowed speed in the bottom right was my Vmax though so it's not *that* big of an issue I think, but it still looks funny.

during the preview stream it was mentioned that the price will only be revealed at the time of release

Ah yes I understand now, I thought you meant the box was totally not used anymore, I already knew it isn't as big of a station as it used to be, but I still think it can have some interesting operations with the single track lines it has. It looks like a good place for people who are learning and to just hang out and chill a bit, sometimes one likes to just take it easy and just watch trains go by whilst chatting with freinds on neighbouring boxes.

So from where is the junction between LK 171, 652, 653, 657 controlled then? also from Staszic?

I get the point you're making with the shunting, however that is all handled by the signalboxes at KWK Staszic itself, not by any of these suggested signalboxes, so wether we do or do not have shunting doesn't change anything for these signalboxes operationally speaking.

I mean, that would be a reason to add them wouldn't it? We only have 1 level 1 signalbox currently, so we could do with some more low level boxes (not sure what level these would be but I'd think lvl 1 - 2, at a stretch maybe 3 as they are both junctions) Katowice Janow is the next signalbox on this line that we have in game, also electronic interlocking (would most likely be domino), and it would for sure be a lvl 1, yes it would be a bit boring to some, but for learning dispatching it's a perfect place to start learning. Even for more experianced players these 3 boxes could be a nice place to just hang out, chat, and watch trains go past. As for them having little traffic, some trains to / from Panewnik / Katowice Ligota could be added to make them busier and the operations more varied, LK 171 and LK657 still have a lot of capacity unused afterall. Yes there are other signalboxes that would also be nice to have, but isn't the end goal to eventually have all signalboxes on the map playable?

Picture explains it all I think, actually found this bug a while back but don't think I ever reported it XD. I noticed the text reflecting on the train itself (1st picture), and when taking a closer look with the flashlight on, the corona appeared with the same text in it (2nd picture)

When exiting Grodzisk Mazowiecki at signal P1 using crossover switches 63 & 66, the speed limit is raised too early. The route over the switches is 100km/h, however as soon as the front of the train passes signal P1 the speedlimit is raised to Vmax (140km/h in the example below) even though the rear of the train is still on the 100km/h switch. Route tested in example: Signal M2 shows 100km/h as expected: As soon as front of the train passes Signal P1 the speedlimit is raised to 140km/h, whilst the rear of the train is still on the 100km/h switches, one would expect the speedlimit to still be 100km/h here until the rear of the train is clear of the switch:

so 2 bugs in one then XD

I'm confused, why does it then list how much energy was recovered on the trip summary screen if it's all converted to heat in the resistors?

I was just driving 142065 with locomotive 186 134 on INT1, when I noticed that when the ED brake is active no amps are shown on the amp meter in the locomotive, whilst they are displayed on the HUD

personally if we're going down that route I'd rather see the odd Res mixed in with the new wagons then full Res container trains. Kinda as if they ran out of the normal wagons so used the Res instead (so just a few 1 - 8 in a train for a small number of trains for example)

You might want to double check this, saw 234311 on INT1 driving with containers on Res just this morning. And if you missed one there could be more ;)

Decided to go for an early moring drive on INT1 today, though I must admit I expected it to be al little darker outside at 05:00 in March

Was already starting to think, no news means it's being implemented, guess not XD. Not sure how well that first consist would work in other places though, I've not looked into it too much but I don't know of any other trains on/ near the current map where a sleeper train runs that splits up and has sleepers/ coachettes going to/ from 3 different places.

Some of the TSE 4450xx trains have these older coaches, though it's only a slow service with empty coaches, it's better then nothing.

This is what it says on the steam store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3583200/SimRail__The_Railway_Simulator_d__Warsaw/

A fun quirck I noticed whilst playing SP, is that the 4E locomotives sound slightly different from the No. 2 cab. The contactor sound mainly is different than in the No. 1 cab. So perhaps some of the 4E loco's can be spawned in backwards in MP as I noticed that usually it's always the No. 1 cab leading on MP.

I don't really have a specific train in mind for this suggestion, it's more of a generic suggestion for all trains running with the older PKP IC livery coaches, and mainly the longer ones. When there is a shortage of 2nd class coaches, some older 1st class coaches appear to be "downgraded" to 2nd class. So on longer trains with the older coaches perhaps a few 1st class coaches could be mixed into the composition. (photo just for reference)

A suggestion for the morning Krakow - Warszawa and evening Warszawa - Krakow trains (35102 and 53115 would fit best I think). The sleeper train to/ from Zakopane I'd imagine only runs once a night in each direction, so perhaps the other pair can borrow their compostion from the Chopin trains. The CD livery coaches would have to be substituted with PKP livery ones of the same class, and the sleepers would have to be coachettes instead, but from the outside it'd look the same. 2023 timetable used for reference: 35102 compostition: https://www.vagonweb.cz/razeni/vlak.php?zeme=PKPIC&kategorie=&cislo=406/41010/1&nazev=Chopin&rok=2023 53115 compostition: https://www.vagonweb.cz/razeni/vlak.php?zeme=PKPIC&kategorie=&cislo=407/14010/1&nazev=Chopin&rok=2023
