TS Mullan Pass Expantion Pack

[gammaray84]

Hello there awesome people. I was playing Expantion pack from Mullan Pass (TrainSimulations),
activity is "Herzog Ballast Train" and wierd thing happening when i do switching. Involving derailment.
So i recorded short video what happenes when i try go backwards into the siding to pick up the second half of the train.

What is going on here?

May i add, same thing happened in "Fort Harrison Switching" activity.

You have gone over a derail device, its in the documentation.

[niknak]

lol yes that got me too the first time I ran that activity. That'll teach me to concentrate when I'm running the game.

I didn't know running over a derail would engage the warp drive...interesting...

[whistlestop]

The same thing has happened to me in both activities. Maybe Trainsimulations could do an update to remove the derail device. Supposedly these activities were tested, but perhaps that was missed in the testing.

Remove the derail from the route? OMG NO!

It's not an activity bug. It's a user failure to behave like the prototype.

Maybe Trainsimulations could do an update to remove the derail device.

That would be the wrong approach. In real life, sidings and spurs are often protected with derail devices, and they dare not be ignored. They're there for safety. That having been said, could their function in OR be improved so that the results are truer to real life? If possible, that would be the better approach.

The behavior (warp speed) is indeed interesting... shouldn't it stall out at the end of the derail path?

That bug...warp speed after passing through a derail device ( and in some other rare instances ) has been around for a few years. Not too many people encounter it, so the bug has remained low on the list. It was reported today in the Monogame thread over at ET, so maybe Carlo will look at it. Remains to be seen if the fix is easy or complicated by other factors.

[geepster775]

Since it is politically incorrect (still) to physically derail a car at a derail, I have no problem with the *bug* staying put as a secondary notification that you, as the user, blew it.

[gammaray84]

Was not aware of this bug. Never happened to me before.
Thank you for the info.
I think these activites are unplayable for me i guess.

Why so? just make sure that you activate the derail switch and all will be well.

[gammaray84]

I would if i knew what key it is.
It looks like i am missing someting.

How do i activate derail switch?

[rdayt]

How do i activate derail switch?

It's a switch isn't it? What does G do? Or maybe Alt-left click.

[PerryPlatypus]

G to throw next switch (or derail) ahead of train. Shift+G to throw next switch (or derail) BEHIND train. Or as rdayt said, Alt+Left Click on the switch or derail itself.
