Ability to create Trains

[Larynx]

 

Hello,

I am currently sitting as a dispatcher on a server and have exactly nothing to do. There is simply no train.
If I then want to take over a train myself, I don't really have anything to choose from.
I would like to be able to run special trains with a start and destination point defined by me. This would also make the work in the interlocking much more interesting, since the loose timetable would then become somewhat tighter and fuller - so that talent is necessary. Accordingly, also a little more fun factor comes up!
Alternatively, the timetable could be tightened up considerably.

Thanks 🙂

This is the one problem with dispatcher on a real time MP game. Unlike driving there are often long gaps between trains with nothing to do, even on the main line. With something like SimSig, PC Rail or the old SIAM traffic control games, you can speed things up until the next action required.

On the other hand an artificially busy timetable is only going to add to the issues at current bottlenecks like Lazy.

And of course the quieter signalboxes are handy for learning the processes etc.

i like it when its not so busy, you can take your time with a train or maybe chat with other dispatchers or read a book 😄

This is the specifics of the railway multiplayer, everything should be close to the real railway. And there may not be a squad for half an hour.
And so this problem is solved by creating a private server, where you yourself decide what kind of movement will be, active or not. I hope this feature will be added.

Btw, is anybody know. Will we be able to do shunting work? When game comes out. Shunting locomotive for example.

This should be, since there are functions for building shunting routes. We wait)

I really hope it will exist. Will be so more fun with shunting work.

looks like a function to do something between the engine and the waggons is allready in atleast you can see a yellow border when you get closer to the coupling stuff and at the trailer you can see how a engine couple cars too ^^

if you click on the coupler when it's highlighted in yellow, a menu pops up, at the moment it's only god 'cancel' as the option, but i can see that we will be able to couple and uncouple... maybe even do each item individually... connect the air hoses, electrical jumpers and wind in the screw coupler.

Have you seen the slide for uncoupling and disbanding railway cars? The hint is clear 😜

I'm not saying anything against realism. But of course a game should also offer something. Barely any train selection is a bit modest. If sometimes nothing - or little - happens, that's not bad. I also like to play Microsoft Flight Simulator and other interlocking simulations like Signalsoft. It is also very quiet there. But consistently SO quiet?

However, one should not draw any conclusions due to an Early Access bug.

Absolutely and it is great to have a playtest that potentially identifies such issues which can hopefully be rectified before release.

I agree the choice of the game should be large. We need more opportunities.
If you think about it, it is very difficult to conduct maneuvers in this version of multiplayer, because it must be programmed by AI.
Another thing is when the server is private and the dispatcher decides for himself which train to send where and which wagons to unhook. You can vote for private servers here 🙂 https://forum.simrail.eu/topic/964-private-servers/#comment-2734
Not to mention the industry, loading and unloading.

I agree, that is the part I like most besides dispatch. The couplers are already working (but disabled in playtest, they were working in Prologue). A little diesel locomotive for shunting would be awesome!

now we can easily count: between 14 and 25 Trains. Thats are not enaugh 🙂
