I got some ideas for Michiel!
Posted: 03 Aug 2014, 22:07
Hello everyone, You know, I am very interested in this game and I was thinking about things, that maybe can be added in the future. Here it is!
1. Addictional security systems ABS and ASR
What is it:
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) prevents wheels to be flat in heavy braking and prevents annoying clicking (track brake sound, which persist and that's annoying). Also helps train easily stop on wet or icy rails.
ASR (Anti Slip Regulation) prevents train to slip in heavy acceleration and helps train accelerate better on wet or icy rails. ASR works like that: the system is controlling if the wheels has good rpm and adhesion with acceleration and speed, If not, it reduces accelerating force to the wheels.
2. More failures and malfunctions
In the sim is simulated only one failure, broken pantographs, but it needs more failures
ex. traction fire, overheated brakes, and so on
There are list of some malfuntions and it's details (it can be more of them)
#1 Traction fire
What is it: The motor in car starts burning because of overload
How to cause it: Just overload motor (disable traction in other cars and let it work alone)
Appearence in game: Outside you can see thick smoke or flames coming from chassis. If you are accelerating, the rate of acceleration decreases
What to do: stop in the next station, switch off controls and try to extinguish motor (fire extinguishers will be added in the future).
#2 Brakes overheat
What is it: The brakes get's overheated becasuse of very heavy braking, braking too often or too long
How to cause it: Brake very heavily, very often or very long.
Appearence in game: Outside you can see thin smoke coming from wheels. If you are braking, the brakes will not brake on 100% power (breaking distance is longer)
What to do: Slowly stop and wait, before brakes cools down. Then continue driving.
What do you think about this Michiel. About malfuntions, you can make more of them, it's up to you.
