True, although the Washington, DC system calls for their CBTC to be able to stop a train within the same 6-foot space every time. Bombardier's automatic monorail/people-mover system stops within 12cm ever time if I remember correctly (usually so it can line up with platform doors).

BVERailer Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 At random times, the trains will just slow down and stop, along with the alerter going off. How do I fix? bandicam 2016-04-16 20-05-51-614.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ATC alert sounds you have to acknowledge it by applying max service brake until you get back under the speed limit. If you don't acknowledge it within 2.5 seconds, it will immediately apply max service brakes until the train reaches 2 MPH or less, and you acknowledge it by moving the throttle to Max Service Brake. This is standard CTA safety system behavior to prevent derailments, collisions, and to ensure the driver is paying attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briman94 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 New video! 3200-series from Midway to Kimball. Nothing that new, but I felt like recording it anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went overspeed too long without applying the brakes. Something stole the focus of the simulator window and I couldn't click back to it soon enough That's why it kept beeping down to 0MPH instead of beeping every 4 seconds like normal. I think that happened 3 times in the video but that's still less than I've encountered on a real Brown Line ride before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it does if you trip the overspeed timer. It didn't say anything about that that I could find in the 7000s RFP, but if the behavior is different than what's implemented just let me know with as much detail as possible and I can fix it.

Maybe you have it correct, but it didn't seem so. Around here, the little arrow is going down, but the "thermometer "is at 35, but the light is green (which is essentially what I am questioning, although I can't put my finger on the rule book).

The current signal block is green, so the aspect displays green. The track's permitted speed is 35 MPH, so it displays that too, but I accelerated past 35 MPH (you can accelerate past the permitted speed in all series except 5000 and 7000) and didn't apply the brakes soon enough (couldn't click back to the simulator in time) so it gave me a penalty stop. I put a post up in the Chicago L Facebook group to see if any drivers can clarify the behavior for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Has the installer been tested on Windows 10? I installed the route on my desktop with no problems at all, and it runs Windows 7. However when I opened up the installer on my Windows 10 laptop, it crashed before I could get it ready. It was minor though, as I successfully installed the route after opening the program again. In addition, after downloading the files in the installer, it said the installation was completed successfully (both on laptop and desktop) even though it was still unpacking files. How is development so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is development so far? I developed the installer on Windows 10, so it should work. I don't have Train Simulator on my Win10 tablet, but it downloaded and installed the files successfully. You may need to update .Net Framework for it to run correctly. As for it saying "completed successfully" before unpacking, that's strange...I can take a look at it. I'm not sure why that'd happen but I can look into it. In terms of route development, I haven't been working on the route a ton because I've been playing around with the Automatic People Mover sub-project, but I have gotten the physics on the 3200- and 5000-series tweaked to be almost perfect now. I plan on working on the route again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've already successfully installed the route, I don't see the crashing as a big problem yet. I've also noticed that North/Clybourn has non-functional platform screen doors. It was fun trying to line my train up to them! If you'd like, I can continue making suggestions as you develop the project further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are functional, but only if you're berthed *perfectly* and the 5000s might be too long. Those are there temporarily for the APM vehicle (haven't moved them to the Scenario-specific scenery yet like I have for the brown line stations) Edit: and yes I'd love suggestions!

briman94 Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I've been working the last few days on completely recreating the model for the 5000s (and eventually the 3200s, once I migrate it to that vehicle). It's much smoother, higher-def, more accurate, cleaner, etc. and looks gorgeous if I do say so myself. Here's a video: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might even create fictional lines or extensions after that. It's all a matter of time; I'm going to be graduating college soon and hopefully getting a full-time job so I can't make any promises on when anything might get finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briman94 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Build #30 is now up. Lots of stuff is still WIP (the new model doesn't have many textures at all) but you can play around with the new model yourself at least. Inbound Orange Line also has berth markers at every station now. As usual, it can be found at https://briman0094.com/rw_build/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briman94 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 The project has kinda been on the back burner as of recently. I've had a lot of other work and hobby projects going on lately, and my MacBook (the only computer I own that can run Train Sim) is on its last legs. I don't work at my school anymore (and I graduated) so I can't use my school's hardware like I was doing before, so I might have to wait until I can afford a new computer before I make any more serious progress.
