Patator Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 The signal lights flash too slowly : 1 second on then 1 second off. 0,5 seconds would be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMRAIL Team Stele Posted December 20, 2022 SIMRAIL Team Share Posted December 20, 2022 What lights are you talking about exactly? Times should be based on eal ones unless somebody messed up or just made them up them without taking any research. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Averrnor Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I believe he means S3, S4 etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz292 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) is this 0.5 second flash what happens on the real railway? or just something that you think would look better? The signals i've seen flashing in real life are a slow flash, But if you have video of polish signals flashing faster, please post them, as this is a simulator, and it's simulating the real railway.

By the way, I wanted to ask about the brightness of the signals, is it possible to make them a little brighter, or is it realistic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz292 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) There is a setting in the menu, Simulation, there's a slider for the Signal Visibility Enhancement Level... this makes the signals artificially glow from a distance, i have mine set at 250%, and can see the signals from about 1Km or so away.

Gazz292 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I've read that recently they introduced 2 different flashing speeds for some signals, but as usual i can't find the web page that i read that on, if i find it again i'll post it tomorrow. Also, videoing modern LED signals with a digital devise can cause weird things to show that our eyes don't see, the signal's led's are lit by PWM.... which is turning the led's on and of very rapidly to get the desired brightness, us humans have persistence of vision, so we don't notice the flashing. But the rolling shutter of a digital camera will be out of sync with the led's PWM rate, and you will see the lights doing things like appearing to flash when they are not, A lot of british railway drivers eye view videos on youtube get comments asking why the red signal lights blink in the video, but in real life they have never seen it flash.

AtapiCl Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 In Poland there is no difference in flashing frequency. When it flash fast or slow - its the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz292 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 that might explain why i cant find what i read about 2 different flash frequencies by searching for 'Poland S3 flash' It might of been another country where they have introduced that.

oli806 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Czechia uses two different flash frequencies for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz292 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 That was it... Doh! i was reading about Czech railways for some reason and remembered the thing about different flashing signal speeds. the bottom row of signals on the page below shows this. https://www.sh1.org/osshd/s.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
