Just the right amount of detail at just the right places, allowed me to assemble, place, run, and stop a train effortlessly. Thank you so much, this is how a “getting started” video should be. One little thing is the use of the main period key to bleed the Indy brakes... Not in my Run8 docs, neither the keymap nor the list of default bindings. And the broken rule you talk about is “power braking” right? Applying air with any power (notch 1 in this case)?

Coming back to Run 8 after more than a year away, found this vid again and a lot came back to me instantly, for which I am grateful :) Something that didn't occur to me before, but can you elaborate on why most railroads don't allow the use of the air brake for a stop? Or did I misunderstand and it is it that you cannot use the air if you've got power applied? Thanks again!
@ndubb12 жыл бұрын
It's about fuel conservation with the big railroads. You stay in power to brake to a stop or power brake through a bowl. It's a better way to run depending on the train make up but the pencil pushers don't like it.
@C64389116 жыл бұрын
I have a question. I'm a beginner, so please forgive me for asking basic or the obvious stuff. Anyway, you mentioned that when you get to a downhill section or grade you can always use the airbreaks, but IRL you can not. So, the right procedure would be to set up dynamic breaking, right ? I'm not an engineer nor do I have any real life experience with american freight trains in general. I'm from The Netherlands (Holland). But I do love american freight trains, especially the really big, 2 miles or so, freight trains.
@OleandersGamingEmporium6 жыл бұрын
Yes, unless you have a good feel for what the train will do, the best practice would be to setup the dynamics. Its always better to attack a downhill too slow than to try it too fast.
@C64389116 жыл бұрын
Indeed. Lots of kinetic energy being directed to the cars / wagons and goods when sudden loss of velocity occurs and inertia forces. Also, I imagine, it won't do any good to the couplers and the wear of the wheels (spots of flattening on the wheels). Btw, sorry for my spelling mistakes, I used 'breaks' instead of 'brakes'. Thank you for your reply.

Hi, how do you compare Run 8 V2 with V1 and Train Sim World CSX Heavy haul!? Do Run 8 have fully interactive cabin switches!?
@OleandersGamingEmporium6 жыл бұрын
Hari Krishnan CSX Heavy Haul is a very limited game with a bad physics model. It looks good, but traing handling is very strange on it. V2 is a graphics upgrade to V1 with some extras. If you want a simulator that is close to reality, go with Run 8.
@OleandersGamingEmporium6 жыл бұрын
I should also add that most of the important cabin switches work in Run 8, not all of them. I should also add they are planning to release V3 late this year/early next year that will add a lot of the stuff they have not been able to put into V2.

OK, I have searched the Run8 website, the Depot website and done a web search to find out: how do you blow the damned horn on this sim? It's not mapped to any key on the key bindings pdf on the Run8 website and nobody mentions it but you are doing it in this video. How hard would it be for someone to create a user's manual, like you get with a camera or a car on how to do this. I mean, your video is helpful but I don't think I should have to watch hours of videos on the web to understand how to use this simulator.
@OleandersGamingEmporium6 жыл бұрын
The horn is mapped to the spacebar. The bell is mapped to the delete key on the numpad. I did a getting started video if you want to check that out. I think I went over the main keys you will use.
