That is the DCS " Understatement of the decade " I wish they would just wake up and listen to your ideas and wisdom before its too late You created DML that introduced features way ahead of their time that also Simplified and Improved the Mission Editor useability beyond all expectation I hope you are still adding ingredients to your DML Cooking pot and one day resume your regular " DML Updates " Very Sad that most recent DML update was 3 months ago i do hope you are still developing and having fun with DML I hope one day to be able to once again use my Railway Timetable you helped Me with using your DML Scheduler to clone declone Trains etc. The "TEAM" Broke the Trains Deactivation when they made everyone use the MT Version. Now when Trains declone or despawn they float off in the air ! Hope there are some constructive replies to your "User Files" repository request. Cheers Waterman

Thanks for the New Tram Tracks in London i have found 3 The Bomb Damaged Buildings are also Great Tram Track Routes work the same as setting up a Train The very nice Red Tram works if Traffic is turned on - also i could not find it to place as a user Train. Also I did not see the Big USA Steam Locomotive as Traffic - and i could not find it to place as a user Train. If you build your own you could use either a 3d Model of an Electric Trolley Bus with Tyres or an Electric Tram on Rails to follow the Tram Track set up as DCS Trains. For now the closest thing i have to a London Electric Tram is one of My Woodhead Class 76 1500 Volt DC Electric Locomotives i built for MSTS 25 years ago before many of you were even born ! These Manchester - Sheffield 1500 Volt DC Locomotives were actually Tested in October 1950 between London Liverpool Street and Shenfield Lots of nice 3d Tram and Trolley Bus Models on the Internet that can be converted for DCS

Press F4 then move mouse to rotate view and carefully press keyboard / to zoom out or carefully press keyboard * to zoom in. Position so when you zoom in camera goes through the side of plane then carefully move mouse to look around. Also works with Trains if you want to be in the Drivers position in the Cab or ride in a coach looking out of the window. The main thing is move mouse and zoom carefully and dont press all the keyboard keys you could start WW3 doin that !

My Big German BR52 2-10-0 Locomotives are lovin the new winter update Great job well done thankyou for the Fantastic Update

Yes that is what should happen but it does not ! Just a few words from the Moderators would have been nice for the Lancaster Team. But its just the same old Stone Cold Silence from Moderators for any user made New Mods. Very bad form to just turn your backs and put your fingers in your ears . " Wake up and smell the roses guys " this is an exceptional effort and great for the future of WW2 and DCS !

Very Sad also the ED Moderators and Helpers and the DCS TEAM Must know about the Huge 4 engined Ai Lancaster Bomber project. But as usual they sit back and give ZERO HELP with information about the problems with development A huge bomber project done for free in spare time and theres a stoney Silence from the TEAM Wont hurt to Wake up and give some credit to users who build MODS once in a while

Users who dont make their own Locomotives should make use of the Very Nice USA Steam Locomotive to haul Trains around Britain its authentic and its obviously included with the Normandy Map "These USA Locomotives were designed for rapid production and efficient war service and shared the same austere design principles as their British counterparts "

A while ago I did lots of Railway items for upload - Locomotives Rolling stock and Timetables signals crossings even Narrow Gauge Marianas Islands Sugar Trains ( 255 of My Marianas WW2 Train Packs were Downloaded before i pulled the plug so theres maybe a few still being used ) I always thought the Bulleid Q1 was a bit of an ugly beast I do have a work in progress 8F a black 5 and a Nice Castle. I agree DCS German Trains in England leave a bad taste " The prolonged lack of a simple fix to the Trains Deactivation issue - ED just kicking the can down the road killed my interest and i deleted all my uploads and scrapped the whole project " I still have fun with them but i learned a harsh lesson about wasting my time uploading and sharing things and thinking ED would fix Train bugs Its not all bad news DCS do provide an oversize Marianas WW2 Narrow Gauge Loco baked into the siding to look at Very Strange there are No Narrow Gauge DCS Trains to run on the WW2 Marianas Islands My trains were hacked together totally home built in blender or highly modified models from sketchfab All valve gear was very tricky to animate but all Locomotives worked as they should Lots of Users on here dont like using home made Mods and demand nothing but so called Profesionally built DCS Trains Good Look With That Dont hold your breath !

LANCASTER BOMBER Ai Download is Live ! "AWESOME WW2 NEWS THANKYOU" You have made countless DCS users very very happy today Well done and a huge thankyou to the Lancaster Mod Developers for the massive amount of work involved Thankyou for sharing your Marvelous Ai Aircraft ! Download and do yourself a big favor Hit the F3 key. You will have a Big Smile as the Lancaster with those 4 Merlins roars past !

It makes Me LAUGH some of the workarounds Users have to do just get basic things to work Your work around has real credibility as you can see in the picture the real live cow even used a ladder to get up on a roof I used to create Trains and do lots of tricks with them but got " FLAMED I WAS WRONG AND I WAS JUST USING WORK AROUNDS " I learned my lesson so i do not share anything now Have the Cows got pet names like " Daisy, Doris, BigMewEee, NineLines" or just id numbers ? Do you put fences around the roof tops to stop the Cows from wandering off and getting hurt before you Vapourise them ?

Duplicated for your viewing pleasure from the free world Australia !

The Locomotive and Mk1 coaches picture is from an old 2022 picture. Looks Very Nice but was probebly Early Click Bait to buy the Map . Maybe its baked into the map as theres no smoke . An Hideous bake Example is on the DCS Marianas WW2 Map - "The Huge narrow gauge Locomotive" A baked in Monstrosity that is even taller than the German Class 86 ! Better to Build your own ""Private Collection"" of Locos and rolling stock like i have You can Scenery Remove the baked in ones on mission start luckily its not rocket Science.

Maybe its a new trend if users let them get away with it. Generate More EA sales and even more unhappy users get burned. After all they break perfectly working Modules and then say they are low priority and they never get fixed and the threads get locked. Trains are a sad example. Its a big dissapointment.

This update is a Very Nice Surprise thankyou for all the creative work. Winter textures will be like having a new Map to play with. " Harsh cold winter " textures create a great atmosphere for the Map. Another exciting thing is i can now create some nice winter textures for my Normandy and London Trains and of course the Krupp K5 Leopold. Great Work Thankyou !

" Rethink what DCS is. I dare you! " O.K. - DCS the Train Simulator ! Yes DCS Trains have a few bugs and if they can get fixed it will be great. Its good fun using the ready made DCS Maps as Very Nice Full Size Railway Layouts for the 3d Model Trains i make in Blender. I sometimes use the M.E. Scenery Removal Zone and place my own Buildings Sheds and Stations. You would think the Very Complicated Shay Locomotive with sideways cylinders would make DCS Crash but no problems were encountered. check out the interesting videos - bones animation and running in DCS Its now looking great doing realistic smoky work hauling sugar trains on Narrow Gauge Marianas WW2 Map !

The Trains Deactivation has been broken by the Team about 2 years ago very sad situation. It is Reported so may get looked at or broken even more by the Team . However try the attached " Trains stop at station.miz " file it will be of some use for now . Also Do not use late activation with Trains that has also been broken by the Team So for now - 1 - Train initialises at start waypoint with advanced waypoint action Halt 5 seconds adjust times as needed. 2 - Train proceeds to next waypoint and halts for 5 seconds. 3 - Train proceeds to final waypoint and Halts forever. Trains stop at station.miz

Hi BIGNEWY as requested here is also a Report for the Trains ( Late Activation Problem ) This may help programmers pin down the problem - If the Train is set to late activation or late activation visable before activation the results are the same problem. 1 - When a Train is set to late activation it should be invisable. ERROR - The Train is visable 2 - It should become visable when time more 10 sec trigger activates it. Error - The Train is already visable - The trigger does start the Train ok. 3 - The Train should halt and wait for 5 seconds at first waypoint. The Train does not halt or wait for 5 seconds. 4 - The Train should Halt at final waypoint for ever. ERROR - The Train does not halt and bounces back off the final waypoint and continues back and forth between first and last waypoints for ever. Result is that if a Train is set to late activation it cannot be invisable and it will not halt using the advanced waypoint actions. Compared to the road vehicle - 1 - When road Vehicle is set to late activation it is invisable. - ok 2 - It does become visable when time more 10 sec trigger activates it. - ok 3 - The Vehicle does halt and wait for 5 seconds at first waypoint. - ok 4 - The Vehicle does Halt at final waypoint for ever. - ok Result is that if a Vehicle is set to late activation it will be invisable before activation and it will halt using the advanced waypoint actions. NOTE - If late activation is not used the Train will halt as required.

Hi BIGNEWY as requested heres the Report for Destroy Unit ( Train Deactivation Not Working ) Also the trigger Deactivate Group does the same thing if you try and Deactivate a train. Example - You cannot Deactivate a Train arrival at a London Terminus Station so you end up with a load of unwanted Trains on top of each other in a last waypoint hold. If you Deactivate them they dont dissapear they fly off over the city forever to an unknown destination. This needs fixing as cpu gpu and memory resources are being used up. ----------------------- Heres the details using the miz or trk files - Compare the ground vehicle and train unit destroy after 10 seconds. Ground Vehicle destroyed by unit destroy script at 10 seconds = Ground Vehicle Disapeared from Game view. O.K. Ground Vehicle Disapeared from F10 Map view. O.K. ----- Train destroyed by unit destroy script at 10 seconds = Train does not Disapear from Game view and continues forwards forever off track route. FAULTY Train Disapeared from F10 Map view.

That more like it !

These are a bit clearer and may be some help - Translated - Welcome to North Korean Air Space Prepare to Die !

Train Deactivation was working Perfectly in the DCS ST Version. I gave very detailed information about the problems of Deactivation not working way back in the trial MT Version. Its great that some other problems were fixed - the wobbling catapiller train movements are fixed and the wheels not turning are fixed. Then they just removed the ST version. So any Train you add to a mission in the MT Version cannot be removed. Trains of many wagons or coaches eat up resources if not able to be removed when their journey is over. This means you could end up with 10 trains all sitting on top of each other at the busy London Terminus Stations. If you deactivate them they do dissapear from the F10 Map. However they sail off over the City in the game view to a never ending destination. Just needs the MT coding looked at im sure its a small glitch.

There was but Not any more. The Shay Locomotive see 2 videos attached note the bones details if anyone wants to build one - Krupp K5 Leopold Railway Gun Pack - Marianas WW2 Narrow Gauge Trains Pack - Normandy (British Trains Pack) - Cold War Germany Trains Pack.
