V3 Update Wish List

[NorthernWarrior]

Another one in trying to sort out the Populated SoCal session while driving my own train...

Full management of AI or free agent trains should still be possible without relinquishing your current train. At the moment all you can do is delete the train. You cannot assign an AI driver or get a detailed consist, for example to check what the default Run 8 boxcars are representing (like the full train of them which passed me at Woodford) so I can think about adding them to my collection once the currency exchange improves a bit.

Personally I'd like to see the railcar trucks get a redo, especially with all the new mapping updates coming out for cars.

mapping updates????? V3 is released.

[Metrolink800]

Take a look at Jason's Facebook Page, all of the old content is getting a redo currently. Also a general question, does anyone know if reducing H1, H3, and Warbonnet Dash 9 number rages changes the spawn rate?

I don't do facebook. What is reducing H1 & H3? Once you select the engines you want in a train they are in the random mix with the rest.

Thanks

RANDOM LOAD WEIGHTS APPLIED TO SPAWNING TRAINS WITH LOADS AND INDUSTRIES WITH APPROPRIATE POWER UPDATES

So I was excited to see the last update where loads were randomized to be more like the real world. Unfortunately this update does not include spawning in new traffic, and I doubt it applies to loading at an industry. The only way to simulate this in a session is to take every train that spawns and car that loads acquire it temporarily to hit the load button on every loaded car. Of course the other issue is trains like IM which often have less than full loads as mentioned in the update, still has AI power assigned as if it's a train full of IM bricks.

I don't expect this to apply to cars already in a world save. However, being able to apply the current update to AI trains and the loading process as suggested above would make it much more realistc and used.

Thanks

Worth popping this one in here - better track sound.

The new Fitz sub is full of sharply curved sections but there is no grind or squeal that you would expect from heavy rail equipment taking the corner. Some of the curves are being taken quite fast but it feels like you are floating around them at times.

Is it time to open up a v4 wish list?...

Tongue in cheek, but why not?!
