how to run both hst engines on railworks

[turbo mick]

Hi guys the thing that bugs me with the hst how do you get both power cars running at the same time with railworks

Still cannot be done on a player driven train, only AI workings unfortunately.

If you look through the more in-depth forum on http://uktrainsim.com you may find out. But I think it's a poor bit of programming responsible.

Definetely cannot be done Matt. It has been talked about and is apparently on the list of fixes but we will have to wait and see. Of course, the fix will be for Railworks and not for Rail Simulator.

thanks for my reply ive driven the real thing on the western mainline just a shame it could not be brought in before railworks was released

cheers

They certainly know about it, because its been brought up enough on the UKTS forum. There is also the issue about the relative lack of acceleration which other HST drivers have brought up (I wonder if the other powercar is actually dead?) and the lack of a graduated brake. Fortunately the latter is fixed by a mod on the forum, but you would hope they would look into it by now.

In fairness they are putting all their resources into putting in new steam locomotives, which is where the money probably is, and there appears to be some new effort towards scenario building tools (which are clearly needed). It will probably get done, but goodness knows when.

I idly wonder if this might end up at the front of the queue when the Blue Pullman comes out. I dont know if RS.com have any input into that development?
