Static stock

[Aero1995]

There are some big stations where the tracks are empty, like Idzikowice, Zawiercie, where you could put some static freight wagons. I don't know if it's possible, but in the dispatching mode just close that track.

I was just thinking about this earlier. It would be great to see some static freight and passenger cars on tracks which are not used.

I think having 'static stock' appear at stations increases the RAM demand on your card, leading to buffering on less powerful PCs.

Maybe a separate issue but the same result, have you tried overtaking another moving train? It is a laggy mess.

I think this problem will solve itself when shunting gets implemented.

That's a very good point indeed. Haven't really thought about this. 🤔

usually you'd have low poly models of the trains for the ones that are placed to fill out a goods yard, basic views of the interiors through the windows if you get close enough, no working parts etc, they just become scenery objects then?

The same as having extra bits to load in Transport Fever 2 or Cities Skylines, don't do it unless you have more than 16GB RAM. 

Same as life...the pretty extras cost more...

thats true i mean the waggons will just not disappear after the get decouple and maybe wait for a other train to get in a differend direction 😄

I do think static decorative vehicles would improve realism and immersion, but also I agree that performance may be an issue, so I think they could simply be made optional, with a setting to turn them off.
