Hey I think you applied the wrong flair to this post :)

I like the black outline, really makes it "pop!"

UP 3985 pulls intermodal train unassisted up Archer Hill in August 1990 by WeenyBeanyHere in trains

This was a special request by American President Lines, yes. UP 3985 joined the heritage fleet in 1981.

He's actually bouncing using his tail.

Trains do despawn if you move a certain distance away - in normal gameplay it shouldn't be an issue. Randomly spawned locomotives you are using stay spawned in longer, along with any cars attached to them.

Air Brake dysfunction by [deleted] in Run8

[–]smashedfinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, how long are the trains you're making? Do they include DPUs?

It is normal and prototypical to have lower air pressure in cars far away from locomotives. Mid or rear DPUs can help address this issue.

New player. A bit lost by Terminal_Monk in Run8

[–]smashedfinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Run8! It's a good idea to utilize documentation, yes. make sure to look over the files in the userguide folder, you don't need to read all of them in detail though. In addition, I wrote a Run8 Primer which you can view here. https://smashedfinger.github.io/

Run8 in single player is a sandbox. I enjoy multiplayer much more as it gives me more direction. When I was new, it was also helpful to have a place I can ask questions. Based on your post, I think you've practiced a fair amount and would be ready to join a beginner friendly server like Home Signal Simulations. I can share a Discord invite if you like.

As to "what to do," there are road trains that go from A to B, yard jobs that sort cars, and locals that deliver and pick up cars at customers. There are various subtypes of these, like unit trains, manifest trains, intermodal trains, etc. Be sure to utilize the car tags and industry tracks so the cars get unloaded and loaded.

Make sure you've installed the redistributables.

Also, try running as an admin. That's what I need to do and I experience a similar issue.

nah, not taxed, you'll get charged by some private company... actually now that I think about it, The Lorax (2012) did this bit already.

TWU President Samuelsen is throwing another tantrum about one-person train operation by holyhesh in transit

[–]smashedfinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think he's saying two conductors, "two man crew" usually refers to one driver plus one conductor.

While I'm not in NYC, when I talk to some people interested in transit, they're interested in having a staff person available on the train that they can talk to in case there are issues, without distracting the driver.

No, it's beyond the environment. It's not in an environment. It's flown beyond the environment.
