The Racetrack: Aurora - Chicago (BNSF + Metra)

[Antwerp]

Jeeze alright alright I get it. Can you please move on now?

Thanks to the route authors for your hard work. It shows.

Don't take it personally. We're just having a little fun.

Anyways, Back on Track Lads.

Any ballpark idea of when the route will likely be released? I ordered a new gaming PC last night and want it set up and ready before the Racetrack hits the digital shelves.

Shall I scramble the Harriers?

No, Scramble these instead

Barnez, will the air brake gauges work correctly on the control stand for the locos and cab car included in this route? I'm new to Train sim (but have been doing it in real life for a while) but from what I've seen, except for the P30CH, US locomotives' brake needles behaved and displayed wrong for the most part which was very frustrating since that's some of the most important information needed when operating. I just wanted to check to be sure that this fantastic route didn't loose any credibility by having this error. I'm a new user on the forum but PM me if you need more info.

An F86F with 20mm's would shoot them down

But back on topic, I do like alot of the assets with this route, but will they have snow textures?

I believe the EQ gauges jumping to maximum pressure and other gauges getting stuck is a bug in the core game engine. Uncouple your loco and the gauges act normal, couple back to the cabcar or the other locos in your lashup and the needles jump back to strange positions again.

Amazing how insane people can be about even the most littlest, not so important detail. Any worse, and folks would start wondering if a branch of a tree is missing, or out of place, trackside. It's a train simulator. Only things that should matter, are anything that concerns the locos, and the route. Route building, though I have not experience with, is quite a daunting task. And to worry about the silliest thing, is a bit off putting.

Anyway, I say this route looks incredibly interesting. The detail that I've already seen on this. Is amazing. I absolutely cannot wait to get this in my collection. Good work to those that are involved in this.
