Metro simulator forums

The screen on the right of the cabview is now functional.

When the train is activated, it shows the destination display, the number of trainsets coupled (only the first with train number, up to 5 trainsets are shown), an acceleration meter, and it will show it if the emergency brake is activated.


When there is a problem, it will show the malfunctions screen. The train differentiates three levels of problems; A, B and C, depending on how much of a problem it is.
An "A" problem would require you to stop the train immediately.
A "B" problem needs attention (and might need solving), but you can probably continue operating the train.
A "C" problem is a comfort issue; nothing to worry about at the moment, but more a "fyi" situation. Example; a malfunctioning passenger information display in the passenger section of the train. C-problems are not modelled here (as the simulator doesn't have functions for that).

When the train is in motion and the doors are open (the malfunctions showing are "doors not locked" and "doors on the right side open").... That would be an "A" problem; high risk, so stop immediately.

Cant wait to try it together with the double decker EMU

Still to-do on the interior; the passenger information screens....

Hey Sjoerd, here do you have some Textures for the Passengers information screen from the NS SLT

That second one could be usefull.

The first one (which lists the next stations) I don't think I can make functional. I only managed to make that system work in the new generation Glasgow metro, as I also made the route, and the trains aren't usefull on any other route (too small, too low). So I made a modified version of the ATB system, where the ATB signals from the track include information on the next station along the route. With only one line, and only 15 station, that could be done. But with the many railways already in the simulator, and all the trains that would need modifying to work with the new ATB-codes, that is not really an option.

So either I make the screen display just the destination station, or I make it show the screen which indicates the current speed and temperature (where the temperature will obviously be a fixed value).

Here's a suggestion - how about a fictional dual-voltage version, with one pantograph for each (one for 1.5kV DC and 25kV AC)?
That'll do the train journey where there is two different voltages

It has two pantographs... So if you want, you can just switch to pantograph 2 as you transfer to the HSL section and pretend you are now running under 25kV.

Woah, SLT with a DMI. Is this 2014 or 2023?

Alright, lets do an ATB-only version too;

Wonderful work! We are going to be running the whole network with the SLT, it seems!
