on this platrform, wow

pivot sex

Found the reason - the brakes system on carriages only works using one side's connector, so I just swapped the one it used. (I also added a separate brake switch)

Btw, pretty sure an update has broken this somewhere down the line as the carriage brakes are permanently on and there doesn't seem to be a composite signal coming from either the front or back cars to turn them off. (at least in my testing lol)

Its a good train but the two downsides are that there's no heating in the control cabin, and it hasn't got a switch track function. Other than that it's an amazing train.

@Efexjuxix this is a farly old build of mine so i didnt think of that back then. I have already implemented it in my newer train. Maybe i will remaster this train one day with all the knowledge and expereince ive gathered since i made it.

@Marmor1 Well, isnt that like a standard by now? Maybe take it as a suggestion for your next build.

@Efexjuxix there is no function in the cockpit for that so you will just have to get out and change it by hand

How to change signals tho?

@Jack Mccubbin increasing the power output above 100% is generally not recommendet bc of the excessive ammount of wheelslip it creates. If you lower the power down to 100% ist should be able to accelerate normally without wheelslip if all the cars are connected.

How do i move it? i have activated the cockpit and set the throttle to 300 and the power output on the left console next to the foglights and reverse buttons too 127 but its just screeching, the brake is at 0? can somebody teach me on how to make it go?

i love siex

@js.sarjanen since I don't really wanna work on this thing anymore probably not sry. But feel free to design your own car :D

could you make a restaurant/bistro car for this?

pivot sex

kk

nah sry i was too lazy to number the seats but it schould work if u do that

Stormlink compatible?

lol

Hell Yeah

pivot sex?

take thjer iawat4y

That's an option as well I need to try that bc it's a lot less complicated and physics dependent than my option

I did it with an angular speed sensor pointing downwards, then use 2 robotic pivots per wheel set with conected to those with x*8 multiplyer, you do need to split it for forward and reverse tho. is decently smooth but my train is a bit to heavy for the pivots

Yeah I tried multiple things but this is the only way I could think of to get smooth motion with the weird curves I stormworks which are basically just a series of straights at a angle. There probably is a way u can do this by forming an average over a second or so with accelerometer data but that is too much Lua for me XD

bit complicated but if it works, it works

Because the tilting Sensor which is a swinging weight on a velocity (I think) pivot is dampened by stopping the velocity pivot through powering it with a electrical relay. This relay switches on and off about 2 times a second and stopps the sensor from swinging freely which would be too erratic due to the jagged nature of turns in Stormworks. The position of this sensor is directly responsible for controlling the tilt of the train. If u turn on infinite electricity the pivot for the sensor is permanently powered and thus stays at the location it's pushed to in the corner bc gravity alone doesn't have enough force to pull it back down against the power of the pivot. Hope this explains the basics workings of the tilting system :D

why does inf electricity cause it to jam though?

I don't think so? I can check.

@Corporal Simmons are you using infinite electricity bc that breaks the tilting rebound?

So Uh the tilt likes to jam, I was using 2 middle cars though. It just kinda... jammed at max right tilt

no it isn't

is it possible to have a power car on both ends?

@RaNoL1n i tested multiple sources oferror and couldt get the engine to not start is the generator output on the dashboard 0 for u ?

diesel gen are not working idk why

Ah that might be the point. I had infinite fuel on. Ok thanks for the help :)

@Derechte_Ben You should just be able to move the speed setpoint up on the screen and reach speeds up to 210 km/h i dont know why it isnt working for u. A few options are maybe checking if infinetie fuel and electricity are off and if physics details are on full. Although i dont think that that is the problem. U can also check if u have connected all cars with the electrical cable. If after all that the problem still prevails u can just comment again. Hope i was able to help u :D

it doesnt drive over 10 km/h. am i doing something wrong?

*low quality funkytown plays*

@Vector_059 the train doesent have an automated switch controller so u just have to get out and mnually cange the switches

How change track?

This is an awesome tilting train! YOu could use it for a Class 221 or a class 390, There are so many possibilities!

Thanks!

@Echoless its kinda complicated i used this guide https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2261577798 its for gmod tho so
just change the game ID to Stormworks ID and follow the guide.

How do I make a GIF the thumbnail like you did?
