Speed...

[fchrist16]

I'm not sure if this belongs here or over in the TSRE sub-forum, so I'm going here for now...

While I put SPEED interactives showing 90/70 respectively, in ORTS MG636 Rev33 shows 56/43 instead...Any ideas? In ORTS a speed of 79 MPH shows 45 MPH...

For whatever reason, I think the '90/70' you set the sim is taking as KM/H. Because 90KMH/70KMH converted to MPH, is 55.92(56 rounded up)MPH/43.49(43 rounded down)MPH.

I've been running into this problem for some time. It only happens if you try to expand a speedpost across multiple tracks. It also seems to give passener speeds to everyone, since I have a 49mph limit right now (79km/h), despite the fact that I'm running a freight train. At this point the only way to beat it that I know of is to do one track at a time.

So put a speed bit on each track for each speed I need and that should cure it? I'll have to try that out later! Thank you.

I thought of that but I double checked the "manual" entry and I had set it to MPH instead of KPH/KMH...

check the routes .trk file

in there there should be a section something like

SignalSet ( 0 )
GantrySet ( 0 )
TrackGauge ( 0 )
Era ( 0 )
SpeedLimit ( 53.6448 )
Environment (
SpringClear ( SpringClear.env )

TerrainErrorScale ( 1 )

DefaultCrossingSMS ( crossing.sms )
DefaultWaterTowerSMS ( wtower.sms )

DefaultDieselTowerSMS ( dtower.sms )

look for the one listed as MilepostUnitsMiles ( )

make sure that reads Miles on the end if it has KM or something like that change it to miles as per the example, i have downloaded routes in the past that have it set to KMH and the readings in the sim were all lower for both mileposts and speed because of it until i changed the line

Thanks for the suggestion but this is a route I'm building...It is set to MILES as in your example.

I will say this, Travis's idea DOES work though.
