Pls could you make a Hsm activity for me Sjored as I don't have much time to make one. It can be anything you like

[Sjoerd]

Personally, I am not a big fan of the HSM (a little bit too unrealistic for my taste; subway trains at 250 km/h ), but I can easily make what you want; I did after all build line M4 with a higher speedlimit and no stops between Noorderpoort and the airport with the HSM in mind.
However, as I forgot to test the HSM on the route before the release of beta 3.10, I did not think of adding a ATB island on the departure tracks of the airport; this is needed, as the HSM is not able to depart under ZUB train protection directly after startup of the drivers cabin. This train has to start in ATB protection, and can then switch to ZUB.
For Beta 3.11, I have corrected this little oversight; ATB has been installed on the three departure tracks, and the switch to ZUB is then done when passing the departure signal. But you will have to wait for Beta 3.11 for that.

In the mean time, you can use the HSM on one of the other lines, in any activity you like. This is how you do this;

-> Open the ACT file for the activity you like to use with the HSM.
-> Find the code line <cab id="0" mycontrol="true"/> (this is the train you will be driving in the activity)

This will be part of a larger code block, for example (in the "Line M3/M2 (5200)" activity);

Code: Select all

  
<consist start="RZH1">
   <train pack="RET" file="5200-2006.xml">
    <cab id="0" mycontrol="true" />
    <car id="0" scrollsign1="8.0" scrollsign2="37"/>
    <car id="1" scrollsign1="0.0" scrollsign2="37"/>
   </train>
   <train pack="RET" file="5200-2006.xml"/>
   <train pack="RET" file="5200-2006.xml">
    <car id="0" scrollsign1="0.0" scrollsign2="37"/>
    <car id="1" scrollsign1="8.0" scrollsign2="37"/>
   </train>
  </consist>

(This is a set of three SG2's, with instructions on how to set the destination displays at the start of the simulation)

-> Change it to:

Code: Select all

  
<consist start="RZH1">
   <train pack="RET" file="HSM.xml">
    <cab id="0" mycontrol="true" />
   </train>
  </consist>

Thank you so much Sjored!

You're welcome!

(Next time, please type a little slower; you might get my name right that way )

I will

Cannot Wait for Rijndam 2018!

New activity for Rijndam with the SG3 5700 series for line M5

[MP 85]

Enjoy the HSM

In Rijndam 1985, there will also be a midnight (or very early morning, if you prefer to call it that) freight activity, requiring you to transport a number of containers trough the subway tunnels, and partly over normal railway tracks.

Screenshot; the transport has just exited the subway system at Noorderpoort, and is waiting on a siding for permission to enter the railway, in order to deliver the cargo at Noorderpoort Freightyard (behind Rijndam Noorderpoort train station).
