fixed Train wheels below railway

[rayrayblues]

I can't thank you guys enough for all of the big improvement to trains.  

There are only two minor issues left (compared to what you have done so far).  I will address them in separate posts.

 

On The Channel, Persian Gulf, and Syria maps, train wheels are sunken half way into the roadbed

except when traveling over bridges, switches, tunnels and some road crossings. 

This doesn't happen on Caucasus or Normandy. The wheels are on the tracks, not under them.

I don't own Nevada and there aren't any railroads on The Marianas Islands.

I am downloading the NTTR map and will update this post later.

 

Thanks again for all of your hard work, Ray   

 

UPDATED INFO:

I just downloaded NTTR and the trains are fine. The problem seems to only affect Persian Gulf, The Channel and Syria  maps.

Thank you, @rayrayblues.

Reproduced on these 3 maps and reported.

Hi, Thank you for reporting the snag. I hoped we might see a fix in the latest update...maybe soon fingers crossed

Hi Guys,

Attached are videos of what my Trains look like...getting worse with every update. Terrible flickering/ Stuttering, and on the channel map in particular, the wheels dont turn and the move along way below the tracks...except on bridges...but wheels never turn. Looks really bad, not up to DCS standard at all.

Both issues are already reported and we are awaiting a fix.... 

[Rene Coulon]

Thank razo, will be good for sure

The trains stuttering was fixed with today's OB update.

Like @razo+r said, other issues already reported internally.

Well now i`m getting this stuttering everywhere in MP using MT client

with ST clients its gone (like my FPS...)

Same here, with external views of all aircraft. At first I thought it was a new effect but its seems rather annoying to be considered an addition. 

[Rene Coulon]

The Trains on the Caucasus map run on the Rails, on all other maps they run stupidly Below the Tracks .

On No maps do their Wheels turn.

For an amazing sim with such detail...this remains Sub Par...please give some attention guys

 

Thank you

Train stuttering was fixed. Trains wheel below railway are yet to be fixed for Syria, Normandy and The Channel.

Is the issue with the wheels not turning also known issue / related to being below the tracks?

I'm able to reproduce this issue in Caucasus, which means this is a different bug. I'll report it right away. Thanks!

Hi Guys,

Thankyou all for the feedback....Its great to know the guys are working on the issue.

 

Waterman, you should really package your work,  Once the MT issue is resolved. I am sure many would love to develop the Train side of the Sim...Especially in Normandy 2.

It will make a brilliant add on...like the V2 launcher

Regards

This issue was fixed earlier this year.

In the upcoming core update, train wheels will spin again.

Fantastic News at last Thankyou -

I have some Awesome Steam Locomotives i have been working on thankfully i never gave up hope DCS would fix the wheels.

I have even built the bigest Locomotive ever used in Britain Its 2 Locomotives in DCS a Front and a Rear its a Spectacular 2-8-0-0-8-2 Bayer Garret - Very simple low poly design no bevels etc - for the Normandy 2 Map !

Also a very nice 0-6-0 Sugar Mill Locomotive for the upcoming Marianas WW2 Map !

All my locomotives have working animated valve gear so with the wheels update will look fantastic in DCS. 

More info soon !

 

 

That Garret looks brilliant; only issue is that it never wandered very far from the Worsborough incline (which is halfway between Sheffield and Leeds) - that's almost 150miles North of the most northerly parts of the Normandy map!

I would suggest that a Southern Railway mixed traffic type would be more appropriate; perhaps an N Class mogul?

THIS IS FANTASTIC NEWS !!! made my day, thanx Waterman for sharing.

Now we just need some armoured German trains to go after for prizes...
