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

I believe it will integrate into the current route, extending from Grodzisk Mazowiecki. And I'm expecting it to be an addition to the map off the current servers. Price wise, I'm guessing around €20,- to €25,- though even if it was €30,- - €40,- it would still be better value for money with 100km of new lines then the Cardiff (or most other TSW) DLC

On the Dragon2 when I use the "Turn off wipers" keybind, the switch goes to the left most postition which is for intermediate wiping not OFF.

I was playing around in the external camera whilst driving, when I notices that in the higher-speed curves the overhead wires are running along the outer part of the Pantograph, instead of (near) the middle. I think this is due to the superelivation not being taken into account for the OHLE position, as they appear to be straight above the spline of the track (with some offset left and right for the zig-zag effect to even out the wear) I know it is only a minor detail, and I don't know how easy it is to adjust across the whole map (wether it's just editing the function that creates the OHLE or if it needs to all be changed manually) but I hope it can be rectified sometime in the future.

I mean, isn't this the timetable? I know there are the paper ones, but this is basically the timetable in the HUD.

With the LCS posts drivers can see in the HUD if there is a player controlling the remote post in the HUD. Perhaps the same thing can be done for R52 as trains to / from LK 62 via LK660 don't go via the main post and therefore can't see if there is a player controlling the signalbox or a bot.

Don't think this is very good for your pantograph... S: opoczno_warszawa_grochow_terrain_x193_z407, P: (98919.08, 106.16, 208735.60), R: (78.45, 146.81, 0.00)

Whilst driving a 4640xx train, I noticed a 10 minute stop at DZ GTB in the HUD timetable, but even though there were other trains that needed to go ahead of me the Player on DZ signal box at the time send me straight through. Finding this strange I looked at the EDR and noticed that: A). this 10 minute stop wasn't marked as a PT in the EDR and B). the stop is timetabled for GTB, and thus is not visible on the DZ signal box EDR which only shows the EDR for the DZA and DZB signal boxes, not GTB. So the only way a dispatcher can know about the stop is by looking at the train route tab and comparing the Arrival and Departure times themselves. Since most dispatchers don't do this for every train that passes by, or knows the timetable for every train from front to back. As a result most players skip this PT stop as they simply don't know about it, and assume the train is just early when it's running -10 past DZB signal box. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1256236499574456360/1342826869141274665/D411E76AF7FEB88233857CC4AF3110F82B03D035.png?ex=67bb0c7a&is=67b9bafa&hm=18c5109292e41459fda8c228d375f82cca5cb8f65b368749a51150938d5eb6be&https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1256236499574456360/1342826505709031444/image.png?ex=67bb0c23&is=67b9baa3&hm=154e7bb8e8da4133188bd3e29e22d62b7755d7c889064ada32fa8cd176d3bc6b&

On the EU07 the sunvisors are not visible when viewed through a window, with the side window open you can see the sunvisor through the open window, but not through the glass either.

Yesterday (24-12-2024) drove the full length of train 54033 on EN1 server, without using the bot at all, but did not get the "Taste of coal" achivement. Looking at the graph (1st and 2nd picture) I notived I noticed I did not get any points for passing Strzalki, at first I thought it was because I skipped the PT stop, but after testing it earlier today on train 54029 also on EN1, I noticed the graph also didn't mention a stop for Strzalki. (3rd picture, the stop was at Strzalki, and I passed at least 1 ABS signal after leaving Strzalki before leaving the train)

On the Zw panel some sections don't light up when a route is set on them

why is this in general discussion? It was supposed to be in Bug reporting MP... oopsie, could someone move this thx

In the API (https://panel.simrail.eu:8084/stations-open?serverCode=en1) some of the dispatch posts have incorrect prefixes listed, as I've started displaying them on the livemap I use it's a bit annoying not having the right ones in the API The ones that I found to be incorrect are: Będzin, should be: "Bn" , currently is: "B" Sosnowiec Południowy, should be: "SPł" , currently is: "Spł1" Opoczno Południe, should be: "OP" , currently is: "Op" Łazy, should be: "ŁB", currently is: "LB" Sławków, should be: "Sł" , currently is: "Sl" Starzyny, should be: "St" , currently is: "Str" Kraków Batowice, should be: "KBt" , currently is "BT" (I'm not from poland, all data is from: https://www.atlaskolejowy.net/ and https://www.openrailwaymap.org/) thanks in advance for correcting this

If you change the lights in the SG signal box (on/dimmed/off) the lights in the Spl signalbox also change to that setting and vice versa. Guess they installed some of those fancy wireless light switches

Not sure if it's a bug or just designed this way, but the IT2925a and it2924a indicators do not turn red when a train passes them. In both pictures there is only 1 train on the line between Slomniki and Niedzwiedz, but the IT2925a/it2924a stay red during the whole transition from Slomniki to Niedzwiedz or vice versa. If this isn't a bug, could someone then please explain what the function of these indicators is?

At Krakow Batowice switches 6 and 8 have manual switch levers that have to be moved at the switch, yet they can still be controlled remotely from the signalbox. (must be magic switches ) Location switch 6: S: tunel_krakow_terrain_x116_z-29, P: (59588.88, 237.69, -14612.83), R: (25.79, 80.50, 0.00) Location switch 8: S: tunel_krakow_terrain_x116_z-29, P: (59518.50, 237.75, -14615.09), R: (16.64, 85.75, 0.00)

Also some of the labels on the signals at Krakow Batowice disappear depending on the viewing angle, so far I've seen this on signals B, B2, H, G, M and SpO

At Krakow Batowice signal SpR ( S: tunel_krakow_terrain_x115_z-29, P: (59007.50, 237.76, -14639.23), R: (10.43, 283.94, 0.00) ) does not have a label on the signal itself.

On the Krakow Batowice panel, both interlocks to/from Krakow Mydlniki are labeled 2M, obviously you can't have 2 tracks with the same number as that would be quite confusing

all the 321xx trains have the type EIJ in the EDR for some reason Whilst the 231xx trains are all type MHE, whilst having MPE in their names

the trains that diverge from Kraków Przedmieście towards Krakow Olsza via Kraków Przedmieście R3 and Kraków Olsza R2 (2343xx trains) are indicated on the EDR as going on LK 8, whilst on the route panel that interlock is correctly labeled as LK 602. to avoid confusion it may be best to have LK 602 on the EDR instead of LK8 for the train to Kraków Olsza as I've seen multiple people try and send them the wrong way.

On the KPm panel, for the tracks from Krakow Przedmiescie to Krakow Batowice, both tracks have number 1, with one track even having a P for some reason. I'd personally expect them to be numbered 1B and 2B
