Good Morning I have done a Steam DCS repair In a few Days Time there will be no ST Version . This is using DCS Trains - nothing else. I have attached .miz file and .trk files for ST and MT I will keep this simple - Please run the "DEACTIVATE TRAIN AFTER 10 SECONDS.miz" test mission and tell me what happens. Please run the .miz in ST and then MT 1. The Train proceeds towards a waypoint. 2. The Train Deactivates at 10 seconds (using time more and Deactivate Group) My Results are - Using ST Version at 10 Seconds The Train "Deactivates" The Engine Sounds Stop and Train Vanishes into thin air. for Me 100 % Correct. - Using MT Version at 10 Seconds The Train Does Not Deactivate - The Engine Sounds Stop and Train leaves the route and continues on the grass. The Train vanishes from the F10 Map at 10 Seconds but continues in the Sim on the grass. for Me 100% Faulty. Post Your Results Please ???? Also when i use a DML Schedule to control the Trains its runs perfect in ST but Faulty as above in MT Using MT when Train is removed The locomotive and wagons leave the route seperate and fan out on the grass. Using ST No Problems. DEACTIVATE TRAIN AFTER 10 SECONDS.miz ST Deactivate Train after 10 Seconds.trk MT Deactivate Train after 10 Seconds.trk

Great Movie thanks. We can now recreate that footage in DCS using DCS Trains. They can now easily be controlled with lots of interesting posibilities.

Ok no worries i will start my own detailed thread tomorrow thanks.

"piggybacking on someone else's thread that has noting to do with your issue is not helpful to you" My comments and interest have now been removed have a nice day.

The ST Version does not fill me with any confidence now the maps dont even show - who knows what else has been busted under the bonnet ! The MT Version has "not" got the animation args enabled on the trains so the wheels dont turn and the valve gear rods on steam engines do not animate. Also the Trains on Normandy Map are sunk down into their axles. I have pointed this out many times but it never gets addressed. Looks like i will have to try and "downdate" to an old version as that seams the new in thing to do these days ! I am on Steam so i will have to move to stand alone Version as steam will not let me "downdate" to an older version. Are well my Grandkids think its funny seeing the steam train skidding along the track with the brakes on and bouncing backwards and forwards between 2 waypoints all day long. This is terrible publicity for DCS theres Youtube videos showing the trains acting like this. Please fix it as soon as possible. No I dont mean get the Youtube videos removed or advise users not to view the Videos or tell me its a known fault i mean fix the DCS Trains now its not a big Request ! I have some very nice Steam Locomotives and Rolling stock i have built over last couple of years and i use them every day and they create a nice realistic Atmosphere. They will not Animate in the MT Version so i never use it ! I will upload them for others to use when the MT Animation situation with the Trains is sorted. Come on guys its not ROCKET SCIENCE !

I Just tried to setup trains again and they work ok in ST but not in MT -

Well its time they fixed them quick smart ! No one is bothered or interested in fixing the problems with trains. There talk of only having MT option GOD HELP US WHEN THAT DAY COMES !

Thanks Rob10 The upgrade option would not show up in my results using a search for "dcs" on steam. I needed to search "dcs flaming" and it shows ok and you can upgrade for the $9.99 usd cheers

I purchased flaming cliffs 3 on steam a few years ago You say - You have to buy FC4 wherever you bought FC3 to get the discount. Yes for $9.99 US dollars upgrade price i understand that. Steam is saying i have to pay $94 Aus Dollars ? So how do i pay the $9.99 US dollars for upgrade on steam ?

Hi i am on Steam I already own Flaming Cliffs 3. This is what it says for me. Funny really as its determined to tell me what im not going to get for $94 Australian Dollars !

Thanks for checking - I thought they would have noticed ! Sad situation

Thats Crazy and hard for me to believe - how many times has that been reported ! I had hopes it may have been fixed for this new map. Makes It look like no one gives a stuff about quality control or unhappy users The DCS trains are great and well built but make the sim look very unrealistic if they are just dumped halfway into the tracks. Every screenshot or youtube video is an advert for DCS quality control and expectation !

Hi can someone check - Do the DCS trains work ok on the Kola Map Railway Network ? Someone please give the WW2 addon class 86 steam Locomotive a Run. Is it on correct track height and does it smoke and do the wheels turn and animate ok

Hi can someone check - Do the DCS trains work ok on the Kola Map Railway Network ? Someone please give the WW2 addon class 86 steam Locomotive a Run. Is it on correct track height and does it smoke and do the wheels turn and animate ok ? thanks Someone checked thanks - answer is trains still to low into tracks and wheels do not rotate or animate.

Also dont overlook the Normandy 2 Traffic includes Trains. Note - The MT Version has the issue of the Train wheels and animations not working this maybe causing a stuttering problem if the sim is having a problem trying to render them. Also the trains still need adjusting to the correct rail height.

I agree and i have made comments for ages about them but nothing is done . I cannot see how they passed quality control and have been running around like this for so many years. I ended up building my own Locomotives and Rolling stock for Normandy 2. I used to post enthusiastic regular updates of my progress with lots of ideas about my 3d modelling progress train control and using a DML timetable schedule but interest was very limited and i felt like i was talking to myself so i pulled the plug on the project.

OK Thanks for bumping it BIGNEWY
