b Crashes against wall gate

2 years ago

If I use the railway motor car, I always crash against the wall gates because they open way too late. The wall gate gets damaged then and the railway motor car is slowed down. I have to drive very slowly to not crash against the wall gates. I think the bug here is that, when using the railway motor car, the wall gates react like I would be on foot. But the correct behavior would be that they react like I would use the train.

Would be great if this could be fixed!

Thank you for this great mod,

I also observed that already.
The acceleration is too high for the gates to notice the train approaching, and thus they open too late.

It also happens with other train-mods, so I suspect that there is nothing I can do.
But if you use the scheduling / automatic mode it should work.

I don't think it's an issue of the acceleration because it happens as well when I'm driving already on max. speed (which means acceleration is 0 at this point). So the cause has to be another one...

It is really strange.
If none or low levels of "braking force" are researched, the gates open at the right time. At higher levels they open too late.

I look into it (e.g. decreasing braking force to increase the distance for the gate).

Decreasing the braking force really worked - deployed with 0.3.3.

Can you try it out?

Hi,

I'm very sorry for the late response. I've installed 0.3.7 now and still do have the same problem as before.

Can you post a savegame, or your complete mod list?

The only way I could reproduce this issue before was caused by "braking force", and since it is no infinite research, it should not cause problems anymore.
