I don't think the class 230's power & brake handle should look like that.

What’s about the Hyperloop?

[Sjoerd]

A colleague at work asked me to create a simulation showing what a ride on a hyperloop might be like. So I did.
But as I did not get the settings for the train protection and braking force to work correctly at those speeds (the AI simply refused to apply full brake force, so it was unreliable), I did not develop it far enough to be releasable.
Once I had made that video, it had served its purpose. So those problems caused me to stop the project after that.

An update on the Rijndam network;
I have written new CTY-files for the sidings at Rijndam Centraal and Zeeburg (the ones referenced in these code lines:
<yard pack="Rijndam2022" file="SidingsZeeburg2.cty" departures="auto" arrivals="auto"> )

I am now testing them one by one, to see if trains depart from them correctly.

I didn't remember if this bug have been noticed but I still have it.
The classical NS1700 have too the bug
The TRAXX too can't control Dest Displays.

It has been looked at, corrected, and will be in the coming update.
The function is not available in the TRAXX (hasn't been build in). It will however be available with the SNCF CC72000.

[Citadis]

Ok thank you.
Why is the TRAXX not equipped with it? Pulling passenger trains implies that the locomotive is equipped with passenger announcement tools right?

[Sjoerd]

The NS1700 got it because I was also building the ICFs at the time, with destination displays.
The TRAXX doesn't have it because it was developped together with the ICRm coaches (for the simulator), which do not have a destination display.
The CC72000 got it because I build it on the basis of the NS1700 objects, and I'm using it with ICF's on the Zeeburg Haven line.

If you are pulling ICFs with a TRAXX, you can still set the destination display; just click on the vehicle icon at the bottom of your screen to board an ICF coach, and set if from there as you normally would from the drivers position. In reality, it also works that way; on most trains (expecially pre-computerized-trains), it is the conductor who sets the destination displays, not the driver.

Still testing.... Getting the timetable to work for the trains in the all-day basis activity.... Still some issues to fix
