Haven't been around here in several months. Though I continue to run Railroader MP sessions on Saturday Night with Scott and occasional other guests like Switcher etc. The best part is the sim continues to evolve and have constant updates and now is at the point of becoming even easier to manage with less people.
The last couple of weekends Scott and I along with Switcher last weekend have operated the new experimantal beta on my server and it's such a game change for me and others in the train sim realm. Though it doesn't have an AI dispatcher like Run8, it's AI switcher functions takes what is capable in Trainz and brings it to a whole new level.
Basically you tell your engine where you want to go, pick-up, drop off, etc. and it throws all the manual switches (restoring mainlines to normal) and figures out how to get there. All you do is run along with the train, grab the back of the tail car and hook or unhook the air and couplers and on to the next step. It's even makes runaround ops very simple. Best of all you can do this, dispatch, as well as operate additional trains at the same time.
I was thining of putting it too the test and take my 40+ in game save from this past weekend and see how far I can run it in single player on my own. I know there are many here for example who don't like MP train raiload sims. This I assure you is the closest I've been yet to being able to run an entire railroad on your own. Not quite the level of some of the bigger class 1 routes, still a full days work and into the night with plenty of work to be done over 50 miles is pretty cool for Scott and I right now.
I have a video I'll post shortly on my channel for those that want to know what I'm talking about.
For those who have been trying to reach me I'm available on Discord. I'm trying to re-invite everyone when I made it private (for the server's purposes) as my sessions have enough people in it these days. If you need to reach me try there if not private message here and I'll try and check in here from time to time.
Thanks
Sean
