Thanks for the reply. It's a fair point you make about making the trains more realistic; but your stability update will be good though to reduce derailments a bit... one update you could consider (and I think someone else mentioned it somewhere!) is having some way to move the switch levers at track intersections without having to stop and get out of the train.
Yes hoping to get a big update out soon! I think it gets them a lot closer to realistic. Much less derailments, but still not taking corners at 100mph without coming off the tracks haha. I will see what y'all think once its released!
Yes I would love to be able to be able to switch the junctions without getting out of the locomotive, unfortunately it is really easy to come up with these ideas, and a lot harder to actually make them happen. I havent been able to think of a way to make that possible yet. I will continue to think about it and of course if you have any ideas how to make that happen I am all ears!
I know nothing about coding, but here's an idea... In the game, triggers appear on screen (such as the floating blue sleep trigger at the front door of your farm house).
When your'e close enough to a blue floater, the associated keys to it are added to the list of keys in the top-left corner of the screen... So the idea is this : have the track switch levers act like the floating icons, but increase their range, so the closest track switch lever, when in range, shows two keys in the top-left menu ( for switching the track left and right). These keys can then be pressed by the player to change the position of the closest track switch lever. [The menu could also be set up to always display the keys for the closest switch lever, when onboard a train].
I'm sure all coding is hard! But this idea uses existing in-game mechanics to try to create a solution. I think its a good idea, but I've no idea is it's even possible :)
