[EN] Timetables and speed limits

[RWag64]

I'm sorry, but I don't know the meaning of the word "Gotya" in English. I'm only a (very old, 75 years old) poor French guy.

got you, or 'understood'  🙂

I've updated (again) my timetables to add the Origin / Destination of all the trains.

I've uploaded the modified timetables at the same place than yesterday, to replace the zip with the new one (version 3.1 instead od 3.0).

I haven't modified the individual timetables, just the PDF, XLS and CSV.

(see the first post of this thread)

Maybe the latest version would be easier to find if you edit and update the first post of this thread instead? Sort of like having a front page for your project. And you can have a change log below maybe?

You can also freely access the JSON api there : https://staging.simrail.deadlykungfu.ninja/train/41124 just change the last number to desired train number

Wow, this is excellent!

Any chance to have the speeds for the even (P) track added there, too?

Hello, thanks! 🙂 
Yes for now the track speed is based on the train number. A train going northbound will only display the N track and a train going southbound will only display P track speed limits, I am not sure it is accurate for now but I will be testing it with the train driver app 😅 But if you want, I can add a query param to display all speed limits 🙂 

It is still in heavy WIP, if you want to see the code, the API main code is here : https://github.com/simrail/EDR/blob/edr_staging/backend/src/sql/train.ts all the code regarding that is on the edr_staging branch of the community EDR of simrail.app 🙂

I think in the case of the Warsaw - Katowice line it would be the other way around.

N = nieparzysty = odd
P = parzysty = even

In Poland, a train will have an odd number if it traverses the line from the beginning towards the end and an even number otherwise.

In the case of the 41124 from Katowice it runs on:

Line 1 Warszawa Centralna - Katowice until Zawiercie (end -> beginning, so gets an even number)
Line 4 Grodzisk Mazowiecki - Zawiercie to Grodzisk (so again gets an even number)
Line 1 again until Warszawa Centralna (even)
Line 2 Warszawa Centralna - Terespol until Warszawa Wschodnia (so in Warszawa Centralna it should change its number to 41125, the odd number is always greater by one than the even number)

A train with an odd number running on a two-track line will generally run on track 1 (odd) and an even one would run on track 2.

For single-track lines, I guess N applies to both directions.

The 'parity' of train numbers is a bit of an issue in Simrail at the moment, but I think it was said it was coming.

that's kind of where i'm getting confused... flipping the distances around for when traveling the opposite direction, 
So the 'To km' on the P track (red numbers on left) becomes the 'From Km' on the N track (red numbers on right) and vice versa with the N to P track .....i think:

it's people like me clogging the thread up with ideas then posts about my personal project based on this data. 

Maybe the 'community made content' pages of the forums could be made into a single post per item, and it's the description and links to download the created content, i.e the first post here. 
and the author updates that single post with the latest versions, and can add extra info etc, but keeping it on simple post per project. 

Then a link takes you off to a seperate page which is for discussing things, and that one can get messy like i've made this one with all my waffle, but it doesn't affect people who just want to download something and try it out, who st the moment have to read through 3 pages to find the latest download link?

Clogging is better than spamming, when it's with good intentions 😄

Yeah, community made content is more like downloads or mods and there are definitely better ways of sharing those than in threads. Maybe the forum is good enough for now, but we're only in the beginnings of SimRail and when the editor comes around there may be a need for an upgrade.

I think how you map one to the other is correct, but what is wrong is that P/N designation does not change with the direction of the train.

In most cases, the N track will be the track number 1, the P track will be the track number 2. An example from Semaforek attached - track 2 towards Grodzisk (Warsaw), track 1 towards Zawiercie (Katowice).
