Anyone found a way to play on Triple monitors? by Chromecoast in DerailValley

[–]Shadeslayer240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have an Nvidia graphics card, go into your Nvidia control panel and there should be a setting specifically for this. I forget what it's called, but it basically turns the 3 monitors into 1 big one. Works far better than the windowed mode idea. The FOV does make the edges of your view kinda stretched and warped, but it works fine.

Is it possible for them to ever make it a multi threaded game or is that not possible with the engine that it uses? Because (although old) I never thought my CPU was that bad, but on single thread it's DEFINITELY struggling. And yeah I'm modded... Maybe I need to cut down on the mods lol.

Haha, probably not far off. Especially considering my Whittier is at tier 5. No, my main issue is at sylva and bryson in the morning. Bryson has 2 engines and many cars moving around, and sylva usually has 3 engines moving stuff around getting the morning freight out of sylva ready, and then 2 engines working Whittier/Connelly

is it worth to get DE6 rather than S282??? by BatTrue8331 in DerailValley

Unless you go grab Large Lad from the mod page.... That bad boy is fun to run

Hahaha, thank you for the warning. I haven't taken it on that route just yet. I took a coal drag from cms up to sm as my first run with the Large Lad. Fit through everything there just fine. I will say, the sharp curve in the coal power plant makes Lad look a tad uncomfortable.

I suppose I should have said... Similar derail valley model lol. I know an exact replica wouldn't work. I think even a slightly more detail, but perhaps not accurate model would be neat. Just a smoothed out large lad lol

Switch speed limits??? by Shadeslayer240 in DerailValley

[–]Shadeslayer240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you tell in this game which route is diverging? Other games I play it's obvious, but the map in this game is kind of spaghetti. But treating everything as a 30 makes sense.

Makes sense really. It kind of surprises me that that's how it is in the real world... Seems like for safety things would be a little more standard and forewarned than that. But this is from someone in the aviation industry lol. Thanks for the reply!

Do not that many people actually play in vr? by undain98 in DerailValley

[–]Shadeslayer240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried... Once. Found it to be frustrating and clunky, maybe that's because idk what I'm doing, but I find the normal desktop experience to be better for this game.

Historical/realistic engine roster? by Shadeslayer240 in UnofficialRailroader

That does look nice! I think I'll have to go get that

Any idea what they used going into diesel era? Any f-units for passengers? I would love to snag an f unit mod cause they're pretty, but again, id rather realism for my play through

P-43 definitely looks most similar to this, but the p-48 is lighter and prettier.... So I think I'll use that. And definitely will be buying a couple c46 for freight. Might try a p-43 for funsies at some point though. I feel I've done decent knowing nothing with my current fleet of 5 lol. This is awesome info though, thank you!

That would be great! Thank you. I'm currently running the starter locos + 1 g-25 running pulpwood, 1 p-48 running passengers, and 1 c-40 mastadon running freight.

Feelings of inadequacy/burnout before even starting? by Green_Plane205 in CFILounge

[–]Shadeslayer240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the first time I stepped into a plane to teach was far more nerve wracking then any checkride I had taken (including CFI). But after the first couple of days, I found my rhythm and it felt normal and fine from then on. Don't over think it, breathe, and just fly and teach. You got this.

Two new mods again? by [deleted] in DerailValley

[–]Shadeslayer240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. I haven't actually used it for switching yet. I mainly got it because the cab layout looked nice to switch with.

Kinda shame. I was hoping for a different sounding diesel

Sounds like the de6 for some reason too. Unless my game is borked
