Replacement for train reversing.

Post by MT3269 »

There should be an option in each loco's window for reversing a train at the end of a line or station rather than the existing 'one setting suits all' option.

They don't even reverse ,they turn themselves around in a way that'd be impossible in real life except with double ended trains.

Multiple units and double ended locos should be able to "reverse" and use both loco/units for a return trip rather than just the one.

Freight locos usually get coupled rear to rear so they can run around the train ,and the wagons wait by themselves but we never see that in TTD or Openttd.

I'd also like to see real size depots instead of just the crappy one square depots that currently we have no choice but to use.And when are we gonna see turntables?

Games are not reality, reality is just to hard to be in games.

but a little pieceofreality is better, i don't know how you think, but i don't need teleports (someone has proposed it) and instant reversing for trains, and i like more disasters and realistic things... if you don't want them, it may be a switch (Realistic things on/off)

If you're going to do that, why not just go for a ro-ro with an out feed alongside the station? That way, you don't have to run a leaving train through the station again, so can handle more trains at once...

Well in the latest SVN and nightly builds they do not reverse instantly, old steam trains they take forever to slow down. :x
