@user-xi8fo6vv1c TSW's lighting isn't the best. However, historically, headlights on trains were to warn others of their approach (and direction) rather than illuminate the line ahead for the Driver.

Train Simulator Classic

Hi, I'm not sure, unfortunately.

I'm glad I could help. 🙂

Hi, The Steam version has an English manual. It isn't as detailed as the German one, so there is a bit of a learning curve. I'd recommend reading in more detail about PZB (signalling, a more advanced version of our AWS), as that's what causes most of my errors! Also, there are English forums on the official site. Whilst the sim may not be graphically advanced (think OpenBVE), the functionality (of signalling, on-train systems etc) is more advanced than all other sims.

Press Tab on your computer

No worries!

Hi, you can still purchase and download from Just Trains' site, as it's compatible with the Steam version :)

Hi, AWS preceded TPWS by a number of years, hence why AWS is in operation across the entire network. AWS is not foolproof, for example in the Ladbroke Grove accident of 1999, where TPWS was not yet fitted. This accident encouraged a faster rollout of TPWS, after Automatic Train Protection (which wasn't fitted to the class of train involved) was deemed too expensive after the Clapham Junction accident of 1988. A Driver could acknowledge AWS out of routine but still not register the signal is at Danger and therefore still pass it. TPWS acts as another layer of safety in most areas, linking in with the Swiss cheese model of accident causation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_cheese_model.

1. When the section ahead is clear 2. Train Simulator Classic (PC) 3. Yes

It's the extreme end of DTG's Chatham Main Line: London Victoria & Blackfriars route.

Glad to hear that, I look forward to it on TSW too. Hopefully DTG have amended the sounds for it. Watch this space for a video of it when I can.

Yes.

@@westierail8742 ah thats great. awesome video btw

TPWS is more comparable to TCAS (although they are quite different)

I think it ends the scenario if you SPAD

Thanks for pointing that out :)

Hi, sorry to hear this. It should clear within a couple of minutes. Did you try pressing TAB to request permission to pass the signal at danger?

@@westierail8742 cheers for replying. I currently trying it again, so will hold on for a few mins. Yes tried SPAD but access denied

@@billyprice6520 let me know how it goes. I will look into it if it doesn't work this time.

@@westierail8742 well have been sitting here for nearly 10 mins now so guessing it's not going to work. Let me quickly download the route again to see if that fixes it

@@billyprice6520 Hmm. Very strange. Sorry that you're having this issue with it...try re-installing the requirements for the scenario too.

It does a bit! TS is funny like that

Hi there, thank you! When this video was made, I was on an 1080p monitor. Now I use 1440p monitors which helps. Also, I use RWEnhancer PRO ( www.rwcentral.com/store/product/6-rw-enhancer-pro/ ) which I highly recommend! Nividia RTX3080 (980ti when this video was made) Intel 10700K (Intel 6700K when this video was made) 32GB RAM (16GB when this video was made) and a multitude of non-mechanical storage!

@@westierail8742 Thank you for the reply. I am still baffled as to why my framerate is so abysmal on this route... maybe something is wrong.

@@mintyaviation2376 It's a very resource intensive route. Try RW Enhancer as that should help quite a bit.

@@mintyaviation2376 Do you have Intel or AMD?

@@kylehill9969 AMD.. Ryzen 5 3600

I am glad to hear that you enjoyed it :)

Because at the time of recording, I was using a 2560 x 1080 monitor (21:9).

I know the pain!

Thanks! I converted the announcements to .wav files then put them in the en folder in the scenario folder. They are triggered using lua scripting. This is not the tutorial I used, but it's a good one nonetheless: jamesclass37.weebly.com/how-to-add-announcements-to-a-ts-20xx-scenario.html#

@@westierail8742 thanks. I will definetly check them out once I get my new PC. Then I might be able to make some nice scenarios with railjet trains :D

The sounds of the Class 323 definitely leave much to be desired. Thankfully, the community is already working on sound patches! I will post info on my Facebook page if and when they become available.

That's just the unique sound of the traction motors on this Class 444 (and other Desiros). 🙂

I'm glad I could help. Good luck with your training!

That's amazing, congratulations! How was the application process? (If you wouldn't mind).

Please remember the limitations of AWS. You will hear that AWS alarm an awful lot and acknowledging AWS can become an automatic action. You can acknowledge AWS without really thinking and SPADs have happened this way. It is always good practice to verbal call your controlled signals "that signal is at caution. next signal at danger, next signal at danger". It helps to remind me that my next signal is at stop and nothing but death, destruction and unemployment is on the other side of that red signal. I see you made this comment a year ago so you likely already know this but it may be helpful to someone else.

Thanks for your feedback! Yes, the DRA should have been on before setting off. Well spotted!

@@westierail8742 also you had it in forward when it should of been in neutral.

Hiya, thanks for your comment. As this is just a simulator, I can only comment from a fictional perspective as far as driving is concerned. But as the distance between signals is short on this section, and I was travelling at a slow speed, I did start braking after the single yellow.

@@westierail8742 oh I see, thank you for the explanation :)

Depends how far the next signal is. Regardless though you should do some form of reaction(brake/slow down) to the single yellow

Chasing yellows is frowned upon and is not good defensive driving practice.

In the real world every signal is different. The distance between the signal and when you can sight the next signal is different. It not uncommon to go into max traction on approach to a caution signal but again it depends where that red signal is. For other signals you may start breaking on the approach to the signal at caution. You also need to consider your current track conditions when on a caution. Wheel Slip can be huge danger here as you can slide pass that signal at stop. So to answer your question from a driver point of view it depends on the signal and depends on current track conditions. This is what we call track knowledge and it the most important part of driving a train. I have breaking landmarks too. It may be box or sign on the network but I know if I start breaking when I pass that landmark I will stop safely for my signal. On wet track i will start my breaking well before my landmark.

Thanks, I'm glad!

+Ben Knox It comes with the route, but you also need the DTG Settle-Carlisle add-on for it to work.
