Human dispatchers far away when entering game

[MeanEater]

When I enter a new multiplayer game as train driver, the human dispatchers are often 80 - 100 KMs away. How can I start closer to them?

Hello @MeanEater.

You can have a look at where the humans are at https://map.simrail.app/ and choose your server.

Find the number of a bot train and leap into it in game.

Another way is to actually drive towards them for however long it takes....🙂

Hey @giBBer8, thanks a lot for the map, i wasn't aware of this nice overview.

I'll give it a try next time ...

Gotta remember multiplayer is a server that's been running 100's of train services for upto 6 hours when you join it (just think of it as real life... as this is a simulator not a game)

You get teleported into the train you chose, and where your train is on the line depends on if it's running on time or not, and it's schedule,

that's why you can't chose a service and start it at a station like some people want to do... unless you join the train at a time it's actually due to stop at a station that is.

If you chose to drive the pendulino, if the human dispatchers are 100km away, it'll only take you 30 minutes to be in radio range of them... but you'll also be out of radio range in about 5 minutes of eac hone 🙂
