Wow you guys really need to learn the signaling system. I never have any crashes on the ground.

Arclight 01-23-11 07:53 PM

Neither did I. :D

And yes, signals are awesome.

Raptor1 01-23-11 07:54 PM

With each of my collisions, the signaling system was perfectly fine. It was my attempts to micromanage some lost trains back on track that caused them.

Task Force 01-23-11 09:25 PM

My issue was train A went past the signal just when train B came out of the depot, and well, crap happend, oah, then train C came out of the depot and ran into the wreckage of A/B.

Oah, and that bus had a retarted driver.

Must be a dropout from the Men of War truck driver school... :O:

Ah so you were running the signals then?

That shouldn't happen as the depots have their own signals built in (they act as pre-signals) unless you ordered the trains to run the signals or something. Though this being multiplayer maybe lag is an issue.

Road vehicles are always at risk at crossings if they are slow and dealing with fast trains. I usually either tunnel under or bridge over the track to avoid that.

The buses don't stop at rail crossings?

Either that or the train is faster than the bus, thus it catches the bus mid-crossing.

NeonSamurai 01-25-11 07:49 AM

They stop at crossings, but trains often catch them while mid crossing (later stage trains are way to fast for vehicles to safely avoid). Safer just to bridge or tunnel over the track.

There were some evil tricks using trains you could use against AI road vehicles.

Today was a great day for the subsim transport league. I lost 2 trains(265 casultys IIRC), and had one train run over 4 or 5 of raptors buses, by the end of the day it was covered in bus parts.

Raptor1 02-08-11 08:47 PM

Hell, so many things got demolished today that I think everybody lost track of the casualties already.

Task Force 02-08-11 09:40 PM

Yea, Still, Not up to death standards... needs more crashes!

HunterICX 02-09-11 04:18 AM

:hmmm: For some reason I do not get a News Article about the crashes...but it is set to ''Full'' in the News messages settings

so unless anybody else took screenshots of the articles we can confirm the total amount of casualties of those crashes.

Well, what do you know. My workplace has an internet connection... :yeah:

Can't do IL2 or MOW, but OTTD is still a go. :rock:
