Could you make the ALP 46 throttle and NJT cab car throttle faster? they seem slow

I can look into it. I've never done a mod that changes those values before.

Nice. What fixes are you planning for BPE?

Avatar of SpaceyKat
SpaceyKat 26 Feb 2023

Currently none, at the moment I've only looked into the Metroliner Cab Car which I feel has turned out nicely. I'll be doing a deep dive into the ACS-64 and Acela Express soon enough though. I did have the idea of maybe switching the default position of the Brake Select to "trail" rather than "test".

Does the main pack contain the lever speed changes as well?

Avatar of SpaceyKat
SpaceyKat 26 Feb 2023

It doesn't. I assumed that some people might not want to increase the lever speed so splitting the paks gives people the option.

Great mod! Noticed that with this installed, the max speed on the HUD for the metroliner cab car only goes upto 100mph now, and if speeds are higher they aren't visible on the dial. Was this change intentional?

Avatar of SpaceyKat
SpaceyKat 28 Feb 2023

I fixed that bug a few updates ago. Please double-check that you have the most recent version of the mod. I just checked on the latest version and the HUD shows up to 175.

nice! is it possible that you could remove the metroliner cab textures, as it interferes with the upcoming texture mod by nexo, yuri, and i.

Avatar of SpaceyKat
SpaceyKat 10 Apr 2023

The decals texture is required as it contains the new text for the headlight switch. The cab texture is something I'm keeping as I prefer the slightly more correct colors on the sander and alerter switches. I'll look into making it optional but for now, if you must change those textures out I recommend changing your mod name to be ordered above mine in the file browser (i.e. !!). This will allow for your texture to load even with this mod being installed.

I noticed that the NJT Multilevel and Cabcars passenger lights only turn on at night, and durring the day underground, it sucks to not be able to turn them on, is there a way where they can just be kept on regardless of the TOD?

Hello Yall. I just downloaded the dynamic adhesion file and when im enter a scenario in NYT It freezes and crash.
Some Help Please. Il be gratefull.

SpaceyKat 22 Jun 2023

I've now loaded up every scenario on NYT and I can't seem to replicate this behavior. Do you have any other mods installed or ini tweaks and could you give me more information, such as which scenario is causing this? Do note that this mod only works on the Steam version of TSW3, if you are playing on another platform other than Steam that might be the issue.

Hello, I have no idea if you have looked into this yet, but do you have plans on fixing the passenger lighting (HEP) on both the NJT multilevel cars and the Amtrak passenger cars?

Avatar of SpaceyKat

I'm unaware of any issues with them. What do you mean?

Can you make it so that when the headlights are set to bright the metroliner cab car ditch lights come on solid? Not sure why they dont to begin with

It has been broken since TSW 2020. I can look into a possible fix but I'm not sure it's possible with our current editor.

I love the mod, enjoyed it on TSW3. I hope to see a update soon as all your mods listed makes all Locos not playable in timetables on TSW4.

Currently, modding support is broken in TSW4 and there is no official fix or update I can apply to make this work. Once TSW4 has been fixed to allow mods to work I will apply any fixes needed to bring this forward. (Mod has since been updated to work in TSW4)

Would it be possible to carry this into TSW4?

Currently, no. Modding support in TSW4 was broken by DTG, they'll need to fix the game before any of my mods can be updated. (Mod has since been updated to work in TSW4)

I've tried to use the ditchlight mod for the metroliner cabcar and nothing! Still flashing when hit the bell or the horn!

Avatar of SpaceyKat
SpaceyKat 21 Nov 2024

The ditchlights should flash when the bell or horn is used. This mod now allows the ditchlights to go steady when the headlight is in bright, before they were always off unless flashing.

Avatar of Tonysamtrak_911
Tonysamtrak_911 22 Nov 2024

Ok so when I had them on bright like you said with ditchlights should go on when you put it on bright but somehow on my end, it didn't happened! I have TSW5 with most of my minimal DLC's installed and US mods are working as is, except the ditchlight mod

Try redownloading the mod and making sure you don't have any old/conflicting mods installed.

seems as though the buzzer button still doesn't compelte the "press the buzzer" objective. even with key in. Amfleet works perfectly, though!

update: i had to press the buzzer from a different coach I was in. weird. worth looking into if you can but great job on this. so happy we can finally play with this! :)

I've had this issue as well, but I think that's a Dovetail bug, not a mod bug. It has been reported to dovetail.

Can you change the textures of the ballast and ties to be more realistic?

Avatar of ladder1chief
ladder1chief 6 Feb 2025

The conductor mode on the NJT trains works great, but the amtrak not so much. The amtrak as soon as you leave the first station all the passengers eerily disappear and you are on the train by yourself, and of course no tickets to check. Have had this happen every time I try with an amtrak train.

Avatar of ladder1chief
ladder1chief 6 Feb 2025

Okay let me revise that. Just did train 86 and it worked like it should. Not sure why the others are giving me issues.

Avatar of SpaceyKat
SpaceyKat 7 Feb 2025

It's fully random based on distance, I can't adjust them. Amtrak services in my testing had anywhere from 0-60 passengers per station, including the first stop.

Avatar of ladder1chief
ladder1chief 15 Feb 2025

Okay, with the most recent update, the amtrak conductor mode suffers the same bug that Dovetail supposedly fixed with the update that was happening intermittently before, here after leaving the first destination, all passengers on the train except for in the car that you opened/closed the doors from disappear, and there is no ticketing objective. The rest of the train, which was full when in the station, is now completely empty. Not sure if you need to tweak something on your end to make it work again, but for now, conductor mode on Amtrak is completely unplayable. I tried five different amtrak schedules and it happened on every one. Also FYI, dovetail fixed this on the NJT trains, but created a new bug in the process. Now on NJT, the ticket checking icon appears in the middle of the car, on the floor in the middle of the aisle, for each car, instead of over the passengers' heads. I already reported it to Dovetail.

If it's any help, something causes the crashing/disappearing passengers issue right as the time hits the departure time. I was standing out on the platform and watched the interior of the train through the windows. There was a train full of passengers until that first departure time hits, and as soon as it changes and tells you to "lock doors", everyone on the train vanishes into thin air. There are no passengers left on the train.

I enjoyed the additon of having conductor mode on Amfleets. There were two issue I came across however. The first issue is that mod causes the Amfleet numbers to all appear as "01234." The Metroliner cab car is fine, but the amfleets have that issue. Everything else in the conductor mod works fine. The second issue was that it causes the name of the Metroliner to be reset back to "Amfleet Cab Car." Other than those two issues, it works fine. Also, would having an Acela conductor mode be possible at some point in the future?

Avatar of SpaceyKat
SpaceyKat 16 Mar 2025

I tried to include the Acela but it led to the game always crashing. The Amfleets numbering is a known issue but I have no idea why it's happening, it's small enough I don't think it's worth fixing for the trouble it would be. Lastly the latest update from today should fix the Metroliner, which had quite a few errors with the conductor mode pak.
