EU07 Simulator English forum / Linia 053 Cargo part 1

« dnia: 04 Listopada 2016, 23:40:31 »

Hello,
Sorry for starting so many threads. I'm trying to run the scenario Linia 053 Cargo part 1. Starting in the locomotive shed in Debica I go through the station on the shunting signals, then reverse and go back until I get to a red main signal in the other end of the station. There is a train consisting of a SM42+ET22 and coal wagons standing on the track leading to the freight yard, but it won't move and the signal I'm standing at won't change in at least 10 minutes.

The instructions says something about coupling to thhe SM42 but the signal is red, should I pass it? The radio calls isn't subtitled, so maybe somewhere I get permission to pass the red signal?

EU07 Simulator English forum / Additional routes?

« dnia: 09 Października 2016, 23:13:46 »

I'm just wondering if there are any additional routes than those included with the simulator?

Line 53 and Line 61 are my two favourite ones, as they have the best scenery. Are they being extended and/or updated? And are there any more good routes available to download, or being built? I've tried to read through the forum, but the language is a bit hard even with Google Translate.

To me, the simulator is very good and the only thing lacking is some more high-quality routes, maybe even real-life based ones! :)

EU07 Simulator English forum / Traction motor blowers

I have one quick question about the Polish locomotives. Eu07, Ep09 etc, it's the same on all. When I'm accelerating the cooling fans will start to work harder as the motor amps increase. However, as soon as I increase power into the maximum setting the fans turn off, even though this is when the load is the highest. The same can be heard on the final notch before the second traction motor kicks in. Wouldn't the motors overheat?

I work as a railway dispatcher⁄signaller (not sure what it's called in english, I control the trains from a signal box) in Sweden and have some experience of driving electric locos. On the Swedish Rc locos for example, built between 1960 and 1988, the fans will increase from half to full power when the motor amps goes above about 1000 and then fall back to half power once the amps are below 1000 again. If you put the throttle at max, the fans will go to full power no matter the speed and motor load. But these are thyristor control locos running on AC power so something must be different.

EU07 Simulator English forum / ERTMS in Poland

« dnia: 31 Lipca 2015, 19:00:36 »

Hello!
I hope this is the right place to ask. I'm a bit curious about ERTMS in Poland. As I understand it some lines have level 1 and others level 2. L is ERTMS+trackside signals, while L2 is supposed to be ERTMS only. However, I'm pretty sure there are lines with L2+signals, such as the Warszaw - Gdansk line. Can someone explain? Does that mean that all trains can travel on L2 lines, even without ETCS cab equipment? And if so what is the difference between L1 and L2 really?

In Sweden where I live L2 means ERTMS only - trains without cab equipment can't use the line and if ERTMS goes down trains can't move. Hope someone can explain!
