I think game needs to improve appearance with each major update each year!

[rose tangle]

like the top dummy radiator vents should have working fans, all the doors of the diesel loco can be openable, proper realistic horn with different sounds, adding preassure release in diesels and make diesels fire throw when in over load.
our game completely focussing on steam engines and tiny shunters.
i know there are lot of people who enjoy steams but there are later generation peoples like me who would like to see more with diesels.

[rose tangle]

something like this

[vernal dew]

Pressure release in a Diesel? What is it releasing, fuel?

[opal burrow]

I know someone is working on getting the fans to spin based on demand for all engines which i am extremely excited about

[red scarab]

diesels exhausting fire isn't standard stuff, its defective mechanics and/or driving
Only pressure releasing that know of in ICE is on turbos when sudden reductions of RPM happens, fabian can answer better if turbo locomotive engines got dump valves or not

[inner yoke]

This was the last update they focused on steam engines, they’re on electrics now I think

[red scarab]

steamers got a disproportionate amount of attention and detail compared to others indeed, we6 will be the 2nd locomotive and if dh6 ever happens, the 3rd, which will make base game locomotives being 2 shunters, 1 universal and 3 locomotives

[inner yoke]

Yeah, what I think is a shame though is it’s a Lose lose for everyone cause now the steam lovers won’t get any updates like ever and the other ones didn’t get as much attention

I love steamers so it’s sad to hear no more of them

Except… 🤮 American

[rose tangle]

what do you think its releasing? fuel?

i dont know indepth details; i just wanted little more realism

[red scarab]

........that is 99% certainly air

[open shoal]

Draining condensed water from the air reservoir?
However, I think it is abnormal to have such a large amount of condensed water collected.

[rose tangle]

bruh...... condensed water? do you think it is refridgerator?

Its is Cylinder Relief valve, to protect the cylinder against excessive blow-off pressure valve releases high pressure when it is above 20% normal load!

Main purpose is to lift when over pressure occurs in air break cylinders.

Thanks to google!

[opal burrow]

never had that simulated in any train sim, this is critical

[north burrow]

later generations enjoy steamers too XD

But hey, at least the fans should be spinning

[rain trellis]

fun fact: the DH4's fan is just a texture aswell

[rain trellis]

fun fact: air whether you like it or not, has water in it

not much but it can condense on cold surfaces thus acculumlate it enclosed areas if not properly vented (idk if you know but brake systems tend to be sealed)

having every door openable is just not peformance favourable and if anything would amplify lag

also as i think mentioned before

diesels don't throw fire when overloaded

throwing fire when overloaded is a major sign of mechanical failure or exhaust valves are being opened too early, thus wasted power

what you see shooting out the exhaust is carbon buildup that's become dislodged and heated to incandescents

[north burrow]

I know

The disappoint was so big

[rain trellis]

would be nice to see it spinning when it's active

[rain trellis]

on a new loco aswell 😭

[opal burrow]

I have just upgraded to a 16gb vram gpu with an ssd drive with a built in heatsink, i don't think i should suffer from having all the required simulation or as much as possible because of others who have a weak pc, that's been the main thing that hold back the game from flexing it's muscles

[rain trellis]

very toxic mindset ngl

DV would loose a lot of players if altfuture didn't cater to lower spec PCs

doesn't make sense from a business standpoint either

lost players = lost potential revenue

= lost revenue = less money

the devs need to be paid for their effort and time

plus we're getting to a point where unity is the bottleneck

it's an off-the-shelf game engine designed for beginners/indies/hobbyists

it's not that powerful

they want Derail Valley to be steamdeck verified but as it is rightnow, it runs poorly on the steamdeck and drains battery like hell

• not everyone has the money to just upgrade their computer on whim cause the game they liked playing stopped caring about catering to lower end systems

[bitter granite]

Yea compressor is supposed to go into neutral after using air blowoff valve once this dude is not cooking

[bitter granite]

Hu why is my peugeot 207 1.4 not throwing flames when going on highway

[rose tangle]

cuz your 207 tiny engine is under 100 HP 😆 ; you need to put the turbo in reverse under the seat to get the fire from the exhaust.........😆
anyways, any update on Zsounds?

[rain trellis]

damn, someone get that engine a medkit if it's under 100 HP

[rain trellis]

also that's not how it works

fire coming out of the exhaust is either a major mechanical problem or the exhaust valves are being opened early

with locomotives, as i said

what you see shooting out the exhaust is carbon buildup that's become dislodged and heated to incandescents

turns out. massive V16s have the same issues as davey's tiny 1.4 litre

they just have the power to do something about one of the problems

[bitter granite]

Ye he not too bright

And he is also a bit of a dick

[bitter granite]

Yea real close look at MSC they don't have a pause feature bc they can't push unity anymore and comperad derail valley looks awesome when you have seen MSC

[pallid cave]

msc is by a single person

dv is from multiple person

its easier to add pause feature when you have a big dev team

[bitter granite]

Yes but still

I was making a point about the limits of unity

[median crater]

In romania we have some locomotives like LDH1250 that need to blow out the water beacuse it can harm the brakes... 💀

[rose tangle]

hmm.... we dont have latest gen locos here in derailvallley.... so blow out will add some realism i guess

[bitter granite]

Yea but it does not constantly blow out
