dis0nored Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Hello, I would like to request a revision of where the player spawns during tutorials for example let's take the EP07 tutorial. In it, you spawn on the tracks, generally speaking from a workplace health and safety aspect it is promoting dangerous and irresposible practices, so you should move the spawn point somewhere better. My suggestion would be on the surface of concrete in front of the blue light by the red switches or red leaver things. If this was helpfull, try to get more opinions from others to see if the spawn points elsewhere are OK or not so much... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isambard Kingdom Brunel Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Should spawn in a depot not the middle of nowhere. Or even at a station platform, would be more realistic. Even in the cab is a better choice than the main running lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz292 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 this is simulating you being a train driver, you have the training and permission to be on the tracks, so 'workplace health and safety' is being adhered to here, how else are you supposed to do your job if you are not allowed on the parts of the railway the general public aren't? you need to spawn in somewhere close to your train, and as this one is not at a passenger platform, this is the quickest way to get you to your objective, which is to drive the train, not walk about on the lines like a certain train game teaches you. The reason you don't spawn into the cab is that with other trains you need to operate switches in compartments that are accessed from the outside of the train... but don't worry, once you get onto multiplayer, you spawn into your train whilst it's moving... how many 'health and safety' "rules" are being broken doing that? if we're trying to make out train driving simulators are teaching people dangerous things, wait till you are doing 200 kph and press the '2' key, as this lets you climb out the cab window on a pole, so you can use your phone camera to look back on your own train! you can even move this pole about until you go under the wheels and watch the axles going around... i can't wait to try that next time i take a train journey 🤠 At least sim rail has the sense to prevent you jumping out the cab door at speed, unlike some other train driving games that let you jump out and leave your train to carry on driverless whilst you stand on the tracks to take a photo. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
