alexfuru Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 i think the should add shunting back again im saying this because i think it would be very cool and at the same time practical to say have some other method of signaling so i feel like it would be good to add it back but does anybody else want it back too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf_giants15 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 What do you mean by "want it back"? If Im not mistaken shunting was not yet introduced. The Simrail Team stated that it will come later on after full release of the game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroezie Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) I am not shure what you mean by adding in 'back'. But I really hope that the developers will add shunting to the game soon! Edited December 19, 2023 by jeroezie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fightdrug Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 the only shunting operations are right now in SP by the zawierce scenarios 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugaCane Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Shunting was enabled in the Play Test but got quickly disabled, because of some broken things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazz292 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Shunting is one of the next things to be enabled in SimRail i believe... or it'll be added soon, it's being worked on, At the very beginning of the playtests it was enabled, but as others have said, it caused problems so was disabled quickly.... hence why we can click on a screw coupler, but only get the option to 'cancel' The shunting signals also had to be disabled, but i think that was more due to trolls who were deliberately trying to de-rail or crash trains with them.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazz292 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 yeah, i am wondering how the shunting stuff will be handled too, i know they have said it'll be fairly simple (at first?) just in the sidings and driving the loco forwards and backwards to collect waggons, People have speculated about someone having a job as the 'shunter guy' who operates the couplings for you via radio commands (or vice versa, the shunting guy commands the loco driver to move)... but what happens when there are not 2 people on at the exact same time who want to do that, Does the driver run to the couplers to release them, or attach them and the brake hoses, then back to the loco?  Does Poland have a version of those radio controlled shunting loco's (V60 / BR362/363) that Germany has? Could the shunting operations be totally separate from the main line running part of the dispatchers posts? : I am just guessing here,  and worry too about people who can barely click a few buttons to set up a straight through route correctly, having to also set multiple sets of points for the shunting at the same time as keep the main line running properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeroezie Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I expect that they will start fairly simple with shunting. For example, bring an passenger train from a siding to the platform. And then see how it goes and expand the shunting process in steps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shunting is not ready yet. You can bug trains with that, because game and AI cannot handle shunting routes correctly. And you can stuck trains, when they cannot switch directions. That (was) the problem and I think that's why it was disabled. First actions will be shunting a EMU from a platform to a siding and then back to the platform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few (I mean, like a couple of individual locos) overhauled SM42s that can do that, DB Cargo is using the DE6400 that have the RC option in Poland, but I believe they didn't change the controller batteries since delivery 😉 W dniu 18.01.2024 o 12:54, Fightdrug napisał(a): so as exemple the train spawm normaly in at katowice drive then to zawierce there he change the platforms and drive back to katowice and despawm then behind it More like spawning in the morning, and then driving around in circles 🙂 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ensifer Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 DE6400 used by DB Cargo in Poland does not work remotely - at least I don't know nothing about that. I didn't receive any training how to use that function anyway. BTW those locs are not very good shunting engines imo. The only "controller" that I saw (and it worked!) was for TEM2. Some engines have a big "remote" on a cable. It would be nice to have some "local" freight trains but without working sidings it's useless.
