[green wasp]

Sometimes you find ways to make these games very playable on something they're not meant to be played on

Jumpy train

This is actually a cool experience

Good game for steam deck

You can use hybrid controller and touchscreen

Hybrid touchscreen and controller is perfect for these

[green wasp]

Low graphics in this game is too far. It destroys the look of the game.

[green wasp]

Wtf is this

[green wasp]

So much is new now

There's fog and I only see 1m ahead of me

Amp reading looks different

I thought I heard footsteps behind me

[green wasp]

They made the DE2 more powerful again as well it seems

Not sure if anyone here is still interested in the game, it gets a bit stale after a while, but I really love it. Such a fun way to kill a few hours. And I guess just heavy vehicle driving is a bit of a passion for me anyway.

[urban cipher]

there was a major update a few days ago that added the BE2 microshunter and changed how the DE2, DE6, and slug work

[green wasp]

Aah yeah

That is why the de6 seems so different

I like how the game is coming together.

I have no more progression to make but it is so fun for killing a few hours

Though I should get the microshunter

[novel iris]

Its a bit out there for this channel but I'll get to do some irl railroading soon

Volunteering at a Heritage Railway/Museum

[green wasp]

Damn that is amazing!

I'd love to see you post about it

[scenic sundial]

Yay, new song drop!

[green wasp]

I prefer diesel

[novel iris]

Unfortunately I'm not due to volunteer for a few months because they're renovating right now

[green wasp]

Ah okie

[green wasp]

I just choose whatever jobs I want now. Money doesn't matter anymore.

@lime sable

[lime sable]

Yo

[scenic sundial]

It's great they implimented this, but it's also great they provided adjustable difficulty, because I don't think many people want to get this nitty-gritty into firing.

[lime sable]

Ur a train fan too?

[scenic sundial]

Um, yes. I usually tend to keep it off the pony sites because it tends to bore other users, but you could say that.

[lime sable]

Sweet

Do any of yall wanna learn about a train gane im makin?

[scenic sundial]

Nah, not now. Currently knee-deep in some stuff.

Metaphorically, not physically.

[lime sable]

this is like statistics.

they show what the loco is, their fuel, their capacities, yknow

they're not rlly gonna nerf that

DH locos do heta up fast

because ur heating the fluid in the turbines faster

snaily

These are mainly used in germany where factories have exhaust steam

however if u let it sit

the hot steam will turn into water

any derail vallers online today?

[green wasp]

I forgot you gotta find the slug in a shed

[lime sable]

Yep

[green wasp]

This game badly needs an update to optimize the look of the game on lower settings. It just removes stuff and makes the game painful.

Going from high to medium, you loose most trees in this area.

Surely they don't need to just remove stuff for lower settings

I actually hate putting this below high now because you loose physical terrain features

Very low vs ultra.

I get this is an accessibility thing for people with 20 year old pcs but anything below high just destroys how the game looks

These are my optimized settings for 780m amd integrated graphics. Good with a 40 or 45 fps cap.

Motion blur is just preference

Good performance without sacrificing visuals much

But now I am curious to play the game looking like a baren wasteland

Oh and no setting gets rid of the stretched terrain btw, that is just weird map stuff.

[lime sable]

Removing particles would be AMAZING

[green wasp]

Yeah less dense particles could help

[drowsy nimbus]

Not enough diesel action here

[green wasp]

I loved driving those things in Trainz

Connecting up 10 engines to deliver like 1000 cars of whatever

I cooked up HARD

[green wasp]

Wait.. Steam, electric, and diesel?

Get the best of all worlds

[green wasp]

Someone left a white slug behind

[urban cipher]

That's not a slug, that a B unit

[green wasp]

Wha

I thought it was

What does the B unit do then

[urban cipher]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B–unit

[green wasp]

So they have their own engine in them too

I remember driving those ones in trainz 2006 but the only bundled route where you drove it was the tutorial

[drowsy nimbus]

yep

specifically an F7B

the Rock Island had a few painted in white for passenger runs

[green wasp]

Cool!

Which game is it btw?

I'd love some more games like how the old Trainz were

[drowsy nimbus]

trainz 2019

[green wasp]

Oh it is trainz

Last one I played was trainz 2012

Maybe I should try the newer ones

nostalgia

[drowsy nimbus]

you should

I had TRS2004

also got T:ANE but I don't play it

[green wasp]

Needs a speedy computer

[drowsy nimbus]

my phone could run that

lmfao

[green wasp]

Yeah it totally could

The graphics and physics are ancient by today's standards. Extremely simple. But for the time it was a lot. My windows xp machine at the time struggled. Toronto would go into single digit fps

[drowsy nimbus]

damn

the route i used (downtown module) could probably kill your computer

[green wasp]

Pf probably

I think it was all just a combination of a low end graphics card from the 90s probably, low end cpu, and probably only 512mb of ram.

I can't remember exactly

I was able to watch youtube on it at 480p when it started being popular

[drowsy nimbus]

lmfao

[green wasp]

Honestly cool how technology advances. Now a $100 laptop brand new would be hundreds of times more powerful then that.

[urban cipher]

I've got an F7 in Railroader, and it's a really nice model

might have to spawn one in and take some screenshots

I think I have an old CD of the original MSTS laying around somewhere too.......

blessed 2001

[drowsy nimbus]

I think that one is made by the same guy who made the F7s I used in my screenshot

[scenic sundial]

@drowsy nimbus so you're DARTrider from the Auran forums?

[drowsy nimbus]

how the fuck

oh shit you play Trainz too?

and yes, that is me. Hi!

[scenic sundial]

Yep. While I'm currently knee-deep in Open Rails stuff, Trainz was my first love.

SD45T-2 there.

[drowsy nimbus]

ah

shit I'm getting my brony stuff and my trainz stuff connected now

[scenic sundial]

I wasn't trying very hard, my applogies.

[drowsy nimbus]

lmao

I don't want those guys figuring that out about me

ya know, stigmas and that

[scenic sundial]

Just saw the same screenshots on the auran forums.

[scenic sundial]

I won't tell.

[drowsy nimbus]

alright

[scenic sundial]

I totally get that, which is why Train sim stuff rarely intersects with the brony stuff, even though most of friends are okay with it.

[drowsy nimbus]

yep

[scenic sundial]

And why I so rarely post things in this thread. I asked for it once, gave up because of lack of interest.

Here, have a reskin. It's a rehash of a older reskin on a newer model using a newer methodology and new scripting skills.

The F40PH, not the coaches, or the P42.

[drowsy nimbus]

very nice

[scenic sundial]

Thank you. This is a fairly light reskin, just de-patched a BNSF unit.

I should really finish this someday.

[drowsy nimbus]

lmfao ATSF GF6C

[scenic sundial]

Already did them in 3 BN flavors.

[drowsy nimbus]

pretty neat

you've probably seen this

[scenic sundial]

No, I have not, but considering everyone and their friend has reskinned that unit, I'm not surprised.

[drowsy nimbus]

yeah

there's quite a lot of them floating around

[scenic sundial]

And yes, 3 flavors. We got whiteface, we got stripes..

And we've got tigerstripes.

[drowsy nimbus]

awesome

[scenic sundial]

The crowd favorite, I might add. Got a lot people wondering when I'd do this version.

But yeah, @drowsy nimbus, until this thread popped up, the idea didn't get a lot of traction, pun not intended.
#1032716748887179434 message

But I guess there's interest, so here we are.

PS - Screenshots are in TRS22, I was on TANE so I was wayyy behind version wise and wanted the largest leapfrog.

[green wasp]

Can you still download content for trainz 2006?

[scenic sundial]

Yes...but it's going to be an uphill battle. You'll need to find the old versions of stuff that have low build numbers.

[green wasp]

I see

Actually... Does older content work on newer versions?

I wanna go back and play on a San Francisco map I played on as a kid

[scenic sundial]

Yep. It might need some adjustments here and there, but it'll either work will be straightforward to get working, for the most part.

[green wasp]

Drive cable cars around

[green wasp]

ok that is cool actually

Then i don't need to bug my mum about the old account for downloading the mods

[scenic sundial]

That's one of Trainz's greatest strengths and weaknesses, the ability to use old content. Good because you can enjoy old content in newer verisons, bad because it can look dated at times.

Made in 2008, still work in TRS22.

[green wasp]

I wouldn't mind the dated look. It would look nostalgic to me.

Oh the joy I feel when I see cardboard cars driving around, 2D trees, and buildings that are a prefect rectangle with textures on them

Though I didn't like how, in trainz 2006, some of the trains would have wheels that move, and others were static. Wouldn't be an issue now I'm sure but, ages ago, there was a time where just rendering the spinning wheels was probably a lot.

I'm curious though, do the new versions have support for controller?

[scenic sundial]

What do you mean? Console controlers I don't think so but I'd have to check. Something dedicated like a raildriver though will work just fine.

[scenic sundial]

The earliest versions of Trainz in 2001 or so didn't support spinning wheels. That was fixed in various patches before UTC was released.

[green wasp]

Yeah that makes sense

[green wasp]

Yeah console controllers i was meaning

I mostly play games with controllers now

Look at these amazing graphics

I don't know if real time shadows were even a thing back then

And man do i miss these things. I remember this whole city being so cool to me back then

[scenic sundial]

I actually have screenshots of the city working in newer versions. It's aged suprsingly well.

[scenic sundial]

They had to be defined with a dedicated shadow mesh, and it only worked on rolling stock and a few other assets.

[green wasp]

omg yes

The city in trainz 2009 though... That made me orgasm

It was sooo huge, and it even had a bridge off to a small island

It was amazing

To be fair I think in 2006 it was some kind of demo, and then in 2009 I had the full version or something

Some maps were like that and it was kinda annoying. Like the one with the ICE trains, the end of the map was like an advertisment for the bigger version or something like that

this train was fucking weird

[drowsy nimbus]

Also yayy Lunaria playing derail valley

[green wasp]

i want to try starting a new game in derail valley. It isn't as fun once you reach the end and have nothing left to unlock. You just make money and drive huge trains.

[green wasp]

This is so cool

[novel iris]

Can't wait to play b99

[karmic holly]

Being able to switch rails before setting off is a big boon. No more frantically trying to snipe the switcher seconds before impact.

[green wasp]

Ah yes. Especially for playing on controller that was a giant pain.

[novel iris]

just do as I do and forget to set the switches at all

[karmic holly]

Try it in VR some time.... it adds to the experience, having to hold the radio like a pistol and sight the sign using the tuner buttons on the top of the radio as a reference.

[green wasp]

I don't have vr and I doubt I ever would have it

I play with an igpu anyway

[novel iris]

hauling 1800t with 2 de6's out of CME

fun times :3

you can alternate the two locos going up the slope to keep the TM's from blowing

[green wasp]

I loove driving giant heavy trains but then they are a pain to shunt. Especially if you take on like 3 or 4 jobs at once.

[karmic holly]

I once tested the coal mine run, you can do both coal hauls at once with 14 DE2's in tandem.

[green wasp]

How do you even find 14 of them

[green wasp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adi6ccT-lUE Apparently this is a thing you can do in the game

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYd-SI6wD5M

This is the scariest shit I have ever seen

Such a good update, I love the new eldritch locomotive

[green wasp]

[karmic holly]

Multi-Track Drifting!!

[green wasp]

Kinda crazy that it is a thing you literally can do in this game

[green wasp]

Did anyone here keep up the Hyce's playthrough of derail valley? I only just realized that it ended at episode 50, but I lost interest in watching it back at like episode 10 maybe.

[novel iris]

I love using 3 DE2's instead of proper locos

its not even a job that needs more than 1 de2

247t of unloaded flatcars to harbor from SM

*242t

[green wasp]

Using 3 DE6s

[scenic sundial]

Yep, and it's not over yet!

[green wasp]

ooh!

[novel iris]

my cursed abomination of a shunting setup

@green wasp isnt it just *amazing8

[green wasp]

oh god what is this

[novel iris]

2 de'2 and a dh4

[green wasp]

This just wouldn't work well..

[novel iris]

moving a little over 1400t of flour

[green wasp]

oh huh

[novel iris]

is just for shunting work

do not have de6 licence, this is next best thing

[novel iris]

it does!

[green wasp]

Oh yeaah if you don't have the license

[novel iris]

both de2's have overheating protection gadgets

[green wasp]

I have played for so long with every license unlocked that I sorta forgot what it is like not having them unlocked. I just unlocked them all and then kept playing.

[novel iris]

the de2's pretty much get the train rolling before the hydralics on the DH4 spin up properly

its surprisngly effective

and i can just shut off the dh4 once the train is unloaded

[green wasp]

ooh damn I see

I think my favourite to drive was still the diesel mechanical

It was just fun

[novel iris]

i liked it

but i just could NOT shift properly

my fav loco is still the fricken dh4

[green wasp]

Just something about shifting through gears makes me happy. And it feels so similar to driving a heavy vehicle irl, just with a lot of gears.

I'm not really sure if this in the spirit of the thread, but I've been beta-testing a cute little game called "A Bumpy Ride". It's more appropriately termed a casual train-driving adventure, where you explore a 19th century-esq cartoon world hauling passengers and freight.

Railroader 2024.6 hits mainline on Monday!

[urban cipher]

The Eagle finally got its Obs car back!
https://www.rxddit.com/r/Amtrak/s/Sc6TTEY7nh

[barren root]

Hell yeah!

[scenic sundial]

Sweet!

But no offense, but the Superliner lounges are ultra or super-dome cars. True Observation cars are at the end, and have a rounded end, with windows facing towards the rear.
From AmericanRails.com.

There has never been a Superliner observation car planned to my knowledge, let alone built.

[urban cipher]

Sadly my next legit reason to be on the Eagle won't be until next Jan/Feb if Harmonycon stays in the same place for next year.

and yeah I know it's not a "true" observation car of the glory days, but everyone still calls them that even though they're technically just lounge cars.

[scenic sundial]

Ah, okay, just didn't know if you understand.

Still, full-length aka super-dome cars are still pretty cool.

[urban cipher]

Amtrak would never put a true rounded end observation car on their trains, because it always has to be at the end. It would mess with their switching in places like Saint Louis and San Antonio on the Eagle for example. An extra coach gets added/removed to the rear of the Eagle in STL for the STL-Chicago segment....and the Eagle takes a coach and sleeper from the Sunset Limited 3 times a week in San Antonio. It would be extra switching moves to take the rear car off, add/remove those cars, and put the rear car back on. That all costs time which costs money, so they're not really inclined to do it. Amtrak is sadly already scraping the bottom of the barrel as it is.

[scenic sundial]

The same thing happens to the Empire Builder. The train is split in Spokane, one part going to Seattle, one part going to Portland. That an the train splitting you mentioned above, along with the fact that Santa Fe couldn't figure out one for the El Capitan cars, the proto-Superliners, are why no Superliner observations exist.

Amtrak doesn't own any others anyway, aside from that one Amfleet coach used for special events.

http://photos.greatrails.net/s/?p=13713

[urban cipher]

Would be nice for there to be some actual Superliner Observation cars
But getting Pullman or Bombardier to build some might be kinda difficult

[scenic sundial]

Yeah, also...how would you style it?

[barren root]

I don’t even think Pullman is around

[scenic sundial]

No, they are not. Bombardier is also no longer in the railcar business IIRC.

[urban cipher]

that's what i meant
Pullman built their last sleeping car in 1956, and last lightweight passenger cars in 1965, and went effectively defunct at the end of '68, while continuing to build Superliners for amtrrak into the late '70s and early '80s. They were absorbed by Bombardier in '87, and Bombardier went defunct themselves in 2021 and were absorbed into Alstom.

[scenic sundial]

Oh...my bad.

[urban cipher]

so i think technically Alstom would hold the right to building new Superliners
but Amtrak ain't got the money for that, and we can do better than the old Superliner design now.

the current coaches that Alstom are building are these:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardier_BiLevel_Coach
Their top operators are GO Transit in Ontario, Metrolink in LA, and the Sounder in Seattle.

[scenic sundial]

Like I mentioned, Santa Fe couldn't figure out how to cap off their El Capitan trains with a proper observation car, so just used a step-down coach and slapped a drumhead and light on the rear door.

Screenshot from Open Rails.

[urban cipher]

there was an attempt at a new bi-level car design, but the one prototype that got built failed in numerous ways
they were intended to replace the Amfleet and Horizon cars in the midwest.
but because it failed, the Siemens Venture cars, as you may know from Brightline, got built instead.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Generation_Bi-Level_Passenger_Rail_Car

These screenshots will never not kill me of laughter. Just a normal train sim here, oh look trains exploding

[green wasp]

Playing derail valley again, haven't played since march last year. Lots of good updates.

[green wasp]

oh god I forget how to operate the green steam train and it is the only train here

I got it moving but it sounds terrible

[green wasp]

Idk how but I broke it and it can no longer move under its own power

[green wasp]

I like how later game you don't have to care about money, just choose whatever you want to do

[green wasp]

brooo I'm rewatching Hyce's playthrough of derail valley, this earlier version of the game has the whole train light on fire when you crouch down

He ignores it so I assume it was a common occurance

Also the train gets up to pressure stupidly fast there

Before the simulator update

Oh also being able to set all the switches before you set off is soo amazing now in the new updates, don't have to stress at every junction on which way you gotta go

[green wasp]

OOPS

[green wasp]

I think the train value number is important to consider. Can be a job that looks lower paying but is much easier or shorter distance

[green wasp]

https://youtu.be/JxNMh0PFwfo?si=QGgttSUHJwvI560g

[green wasp]

I screwed up, the tracks were set wrong in a yard and I went into cars at 60

[green wasp]

I really fucked up this diesel mechanical

Wheels is the most messed up costing $20k, and then body costing $10k

hmm.. 3 DE2s or 1 DE6

[green wasp]

oh my god I finally looked into all the customisation and museum trains in derail valley

I watched the trailer and I'm like

I think I can have a train with purple lights that plays drum and bass from a stereo as it drives down the rail

Or a train with extra headlights and obnoxious yellow spinning lights

I was considering a new game but uh no there's still heaps of stuff I can do

[green wasp]

I'm genuenly thinking of trying a new game and doing an ultra hard custom difficulity, where I just make every single setting the most unfair thing ever

See if it is even possible with fees all the way up and pay all the way down

[green wasp]

I am screwed

Also no dashing. At all.

I have to walk

I contemplated going no sleep and 24h days but that doesn't really make it harder.

If anything a 30 minute day is harder

oh god these jobs pay fucking nothing

oh god this is hell

No remote switching and no dash. I have to walk out and manually change switches.

Gonna be inclined to drive over to the station office rather then walk

I think I can do this as long as I make the most out of the copay insurance, especially early game

I can't even press F to get in a DE2, I have to use the stairs and the door

[green wasp]

Steel mill to goods factory doing a $2000 job ($4000 with only a 20 minute time bonus) and it racked up 11k in fees on the DE2

This is doable now with the insurance copay but I don't know about late game

There is a fright hall here paying only $900 omg

[green wasp]

I'm getting the feeling this won't be possible as I progress for real. Just did a job that paid $3k and had $44k on a de2 that had nothing go wrong, was just a long trip.

Little boom, not big boom. But still a useful boom.

"A boxcar would be better for this load!"

That got a good giggle out of me. If you know, you know.

My mum is a train driver here so I technically get to see lots of treats, but none of which I can share

Broo I just looked into derail valley modding and it is crazy

Can even have custom maps

[green wasp]

It's a bit of a pain, but I have gotten derail valley mods in SteamOS

[green wasp]

bruhhh I get the passengers mod and it is $100,000 for a license, on my super hard playthrough where I make fuck all money

[green wasp]

Anyone uses custom train mods in derail valley? I'm thinking about trying some but a lot seem to have bugs

Fuck it I'm trying some. Hopefully the game can handle a mass of extra trains suddenly there

God damn it, whatever game I mod ends up being fucked up in some way

Now my DE2 looks like a murder happened inside of it

Crap I'm downloading all these trains and I probably won't know what each one can pull

This map looks like a god damn horror game

Gahh modding this game is much more annoying then a lot of other games. Maybe just stick to a few specific mods you might like. It likes to just not open with too many. Right now my fricken comms radio is broken and I have no idea why it would be, none of the mods on should be changing what it does

A lot of custom trains also don't seem to be naturally spawning either which really sucks besides using sandbox mode
