CTC Bug Reports / Drawbridge Protection

« Last post by westdetroit on December 15, 2024, 05:03:54 AM »

It says in the manual I can add another drawbridge to the protection list, I'm assuming for when there's more than one bridge at a location ie Hick on Chicago West but I couldn't figure out how to link another bridge. I can link switches to a bridge but not another bridge to a bridge. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is that a glitch?

Helper operations have been in development for a while but has not been finalized yet

CTC Suggestions / Helper operations

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.

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.

I guess it moreso reflects on how the rail vs maritime traffic bases are setup

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.

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.
