driving time

[1814]

 

Hello, it turns out that today I have been driving trains, but the problem seems to me that I drive very little time, I cannot find trains that do the complete route of the playtest, I have only been driving for a maximum of 20 minutes, at other times 45 seconds, and all the trains that appear to me

They have very little driving time left. Is there any solution to be able to find trains with a longer drive?

I would say patience they will show up.  I've started right inside the big station and had a full run of a couple of hours.  It would be nice if we had a full schedule (not station by station but something like what passengers would see or an employee timetable that shows all train movements at all stations.  This could help in planning a big run.

Thanks

Sean

i haven't had a run longer than 45 minutes. attempted 2 services tonight. one, i was in for 5 minutes before a "sorry server disconnected". then another i made it 15 minutes before a "sorry server disconnected." I also don't quite understand how to know if a service is a full length service or not on the server selection screen.

Less busier servers, and it depends on the type of services. The S1/S41 services run for about an hour. Some cargo services run for close to an hour to, some up to hour and 40 minutes I've seen. If you want the length of the entire route, you have to run the "EC" service. It's a 9 car passenger train (IRC, might be 11). Those run the full length of the route and then some. Your scenario will end amidst driving when you reach the end of the Playtest playable area.

That's just what i have done,

about an hour ago i finished a lovely 1 hour 45 minute run, traveling maybe 140Km?
From just before Łazy Łc to just after Opoczno Południe station.

i was on the EN2 server, driving 41120, an EU07 EC train, i took over at 17:17 my time (12:17 server time, American server i must have got it just after a reset?) and finished at 19:09 my time (14:09 server time)

Shortly after starting i was held at a red signal for about 8 minutes, but that was because the AI had been running that much early when i took over, but instead of exiting the server thinking i was held at a red signal by mistake, i waited a little, and a few trains went past then i was routed into Zawiercie station, and then carried on for the next hour and a half.

This run had a mixture of AI and manned signal boxes, i passed one human driver on the route... and there were between 8 and 10 others on the server over the trip,
