CTC Suggestions / Helper operations
« Last post by NW1776 on November 19, 2024, 07:45:42 PM »Since we're working with recrewing, can we also work to include helper operations as well?
It would open the number of options for yet another realism factor in the simulator.

General Discussion / Re: Update Time Frame
« Last post by NW1776 on November 03, 2024, 02:22:14 PM »Most people, or companies don't like to give time frames on things in case something comes up, that way if something does happen to delay it, they don't get hundreds and thousands of people asking what took so long.

CTC Suggestions / Re: Slowing trains down
« Last post by NW1776 on November 02, 2024, 10:51:10 AM »I was more referring to calling a train and telling them to slow down until they have a more favorable signal before continuing as to prevent having to start and stop at a signal.

« Last post by DPump on August 17, 2024, 10:31:55 AM »I know of Ft. Madison, watch it almost every day for a few minutes. No schedule I know of, only on demand. I found a bridge that is normally open, with mandatory opening time (10 or 15 minutes), that is in Stuart, FL, operated by the FEC. Need to think about how to manage a schedule within CTC. Bridges normally closed and opened on demand by boat traffic (like FMD) will be available soon.

CTC Suggestions / Re: Slowing trains down
« Last post by DPump on August 17, 2024, 10:08:11 AM »Yes, it can. There are other consideration for slower speeds (in TDP called something like "slow speed order") in development, e.g. in hazard areas, for instance high wind speed or flooding (very heavy rain). So sometime you may get a weather report/advisory for areas of your territory you have to act upon. We already have slow speed order due to track deterioration But all that is imposed due to external impact, not just to keep traffic smooth and save energy. We will consider that.

CTC Suggestions / Slowing trains down
« Last post by NW1776 on July 10, 2024, 10:41:30 AM »I know in the real world, the dispatcher and train crew can discuss if they need to slow down [or as they refer to it in my experiences "Drag your feet a bit"], is this a feature that can be implemented so that the train crew can slow up so they won't have to stop and go ahead and everything can move smoothly?
