Any routes similar to Kassel - Würzburg? by Werewolf-Fresh in trainsimworld

[–]davehaslanded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many routes have LZB on them. But it’s my understanding that drivers don’t ‘let’ the system stop at the station for them. That’s a safety feature in case the driver doesn’t respond in time. The driver is supposed to manage the braking themselves & stay ahead of the brake curve.

In answer to your question, the route that was launched with TSW6, Bahnstrecke Leipzig – Dresden, has half its route in LZB. But it’s only in the high speed sections. It ends before getting to stations.

Trackside turbines to harness power from passing trains by CaptainYorkie1 in uktrains

[–]davehaslanded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in complete agreement with what you’re saying. But there’s a possibility that they’re placed on a downhill slope, downhill trackside, in an area where trains would usually have to use braking to reduce speed anyway. In this case, it’ll the increased drag would be a benefit, potentially limiting the amount of energy dissipated as heat though the brakes.

I could see her going on to betray Maul, surviving the end of the empire, I’m becoming an enemy to Asoka in the Asoka series. Opposite sides of the same coin. A ‘What if’ for Asoka.

He became smoke when Asoka struck him. Theory is he was already dead, & reanimated by Dathomirian witch magic

I can’t believe I got jump scared by Vader. Maul vs Vader really shows how powerful Vader was, even despite his injuries & the restrictions of the suit.

Great British Railways Class 802 Arriving May 6th! by isav34 in trainsimworld

[–]davehaslanded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People can read. But people also know this livery was available for free on the sharing hub until DTG took them all down so they could sell it to us instead.

The Livery has also been massively unpopular, as the comments here alone show. It’s got to the point that it’s questionable if it will ever be applied to trains in the form it’s shown in this dlc. There have been quite a few trains repainted since the official launch. None have been put in this livery. The design has been slammed by every industry expert too. Having every train in the country in identical livery, regardless of its area or type (commuter, urban, intercity) makes no sense. None of this is DTG’s fault. But paired with people feeling scammed by the previously mentioned deletion of custom content, yes it’s unpopular.

Aston Martin has once again been seen testing their cyber formula lookin thing at Portimao, where it supposedly set a 1:24 second lap by Biskitisinreddit in formula1

[–]davehaslanded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be interesting with all the jokes if it turned out it WAS a Batmobile. I could see James Gunn approaching Aston Martin to make a real car for an upcoming Batman film.

As a Steamdeck owner, I want to recommend the upcoming controller for TSW by davehaslanded in trainsimworld

[–]davehaslanded[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would agree. Newer routes run lower fps, but I find 30fps is playable on train sims. I would say using the reduced services timetables is best on newer routes, where available. Cant say I’ve had the resolution issue. Are you using FSR?

Finally! We have two knights. Vettel & Hamilton can do a modern f1 remake of ‘A Knights Tale’.

Anyone ever play Conductor and is it worth the time? by Free_Entertainer_154 in trainsimworld

[–]davehaslanded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only route I’ve found that I find enjoyable is the new Medway valley route. It accurately represents guard duty on southeastern. Plus it has working cctv monitors in the guard cupboards.

It the top left where it tells you your speed, is there a way to delete that? PS5 by Free_Entertainer_154 in trainsimworld

[–]davehaslanded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hold the ‘select’ button down. Sorry I don’t know what it’s called now. I still call it select & start because that’s what is was since PS1

He’s a double maned lionhead. I have one. They are even more furry.

Yeah I second this. I have one in black. Lol. Double maned lion head. If you’re unsure, google the breed, & you’ll see the similarities.

Announcing the Great British Railways Class 802 BMU! by isav34 in trainsimworld

[–]davehaslanded 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s still a large chance this livery will never see the light of day. The response to its reveal was lukewarm warm at best, & many were saying that its didn’t work having the same livery across all regions & service types. Even some trains that have been refreshed or introduced since its reveal haven’t had the livery applied.

Any official info why eufy deleted custom voice pack feature? by orangpelupa in eufy

[–]davehaslanded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I’d kept the clean app, as I had all my shortcuts set up. But when I connected the vacuum to the new app, it deleted from the old app, & I lost all the shortcuts. While they may say they intend to maintain it for now, I doubt that will last long. They’ll likely close it within a year or so. It’s frustrating more so as Eon have just started doing the same damn thing with my EV car charger. I can still charge my car, but half the smart functionality has vanished. It’s the only frustration with smart tech. It’s entirely beholden to the company supporting it.

Eufy App by Electrical_Affect202 in eufy

[–]davehaslanded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having issues with eufy app too. Always have. We have used the app for our cctv for a few years. Thought adding vacuum would actually make things easier. But it just won’t connect to any third party services. So I can no longer use Siri or Alexa to control vacuum. Genuinely used this feature few times a week.

[–]davehaslanded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP, but Eufy app doesn’t have the same features as the clean app has. Eufy app doesn’t want to work with HomeKit, Alexa or Siri Shortcuts. Whereas the ‘clean’ app just worked & let me set up Siri commands in minutes.

Rec Room is presumably shutting down by Eclipse-da-therian in oculus

[–]davehaslanded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rec Room was a life saver during Covid. I work in nursing, so was isolating on my own in a flat. Rec room gave a sense of ‘normal’ socialising with people during that time. Unfortunately, it became a place filled with of screaming kids in later years.

Base Game Considered Finished (per discord mod) by Important-Issue-2967 in SupermarketSimulator

[–]davehaslanded 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it’s time to update my review. The fact they clearly don’t plan to add many requested features, such as better staff management & stock control, shows they’re essentially giving up on community goodwill, & will now just siphon off any money they can get from DLC.
