DE2 on a new save, Steel Mill, with -001 plate, AND the S282 as well in Steel Mill (didn't have 001 plate though). Like....should I go play the lottery tonight? Haha.

WELL SHOOT! I didn't even notice the S060 on the other side of the pile lmao!

Additional temperature management besides traction motors engine temperature if it is to hot it will be damaged if running full throttle for too long

It could be added in realistic mode but not normal comfort to make it harder to manage trains loaded

I have almost every license except military three and hazmat three. For whatever the reason I cannot find a job over like 30k. Is it something I’m doing wrong or ?

The Wiki and a Steam guide say it can be bought at GF or MF but i couldn't find it at either? Is it that there is a chance for it to spawn?

Hi all, thinking about buying this game and would love some honest feedback from actual players.

Some things about me:

I played a boatload of openTTD, mostly designing tracks and stations for there and have a lego train set up in my loft where my kids can't touch it.

Some additional info about me: favourite train I would like to ride is the Canadian, taking a train from Munich to Budapest in October this year, because it sounds like fun, regularly visit the nearby heritage trains with the family and drove a locomotive in real life when I was a kid 3 times altogether. My dad worked on a railway for 44 years servicing and checking trains.

So I accidentally discovered the cheapest possible immersion upgrade for Derail Valley.
I was playing in VR, driving along doing loads and deliveries, and I happened to have my chair backed up against my air conditioner.
I’m sitting there with my right hand on the throttle and my arm resting on the armrest when I notice my arm is vibrating.
Then I’m like… wait. Why is my ass vibrating too?
For a few seconds I genuinely thought it was coming from the game.
Turns out the back/right side of my chair was touching the AC, and the compressor was transferring this perfect low-frequency vibration through the chair. Since it’s coming through the seat, my back, and the arm I’m using for the throttle, it feels weirdly convincing. Like I’m actually sitting in a running locomotive.
But here’s the part that fucked with me.
When I turn and lean over to grab the two brake controls, my weight shifts and takes some pressure off the AC. That reduces how much vibration transfers into the chair.
So I reach for the brakes in VR…
…and at the exact same time, the “engine vibration” under my body drops.
My brain immediately interprets it like the locomotive RPM/load just changed.
The AC obviously has absolutely no idea what Derail Valley is doing. My own movement is basically synchronizing the physical feedback with what I’m doing in VR.
So yeah.
Bass shaker: $100+
Motion rig: $$$$
Accidentally backing your chair into the air conditioner:
True immersion.

What regulations or baseline do y’all use for your dootin’?

Edit: I have been doing long-short-short-long with the bell going for level crossings
1 long for a stop
2 short for forward
3 short for backwards

Also whenever I want cause doot doot make the good chemicals

Hi. I've been playing this game for some time, According to the game itself I have 800+ hours playing my save. I've checked all the spawn locations mentioned in the wiki, But still haven't found the demonstrator DE6. Is it because I didn't have a DE6 license when I searched for it? or do demonstrator locos spawn when you start your save?

UPDATE: I found it using both the mod that u/RafaelSU suggested and the steam community guide which u/GoombaHunter007 suggested. It was in the lake near GF:

Hi

I am potentially looking at buying this game for my son, but he will not want to be grinding to unlock various things. In his words, he just wants to crash trains realistically. I fully appreciate that's not what the game is really about, but there is a bit of a lack of other games out there.

Having spent some time researching and looking at reviews, it seems there is a lot of grinding involved before you can basically free roam with whatever trains you want. However some of these reviews are years old, and I'm wondering if this is still the case now?

Thanks

So I unlock the caboose in career, but I can't spawn it in sandbox. Why and is there a mod to make it possible?

I FOUND IT! mine was in FMC

Has anyone found the S282 Demonstrator? I have searched every bit of the map and cannot find it. if anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated. (i do understand that they are randomized. i was wondering if anyone found the s282 in any weird locations not found on any guides) I also play with foliage off

The last time I used the microshunter I was at Iron Mine West and I left it there. Later today I was driving through City West coming from the eastern entrance and I had to slam on brakes because the microshunter was there in the middle of the track at the north exit. How on earth did that happen? Is it possible it ran out of power and rolled all the way across the map?
