YOUTUBE VIDEO FOR AI TRAIN SPEED

[eyein12]

HI,

i was just wondering if anyone posted a youtube video on how to change the % performance on an AI train to fix the problem of longer AI's crawling down the mainline

It's pretty easy.

Go into the timetable view. Select one of the stop at/ go via instruction you've set up (the hand symbol).
A new window appears. Here you can click into the performance field. Enter your performance (up to 200% is possible, still too low for some consists ).
Press enter.

Finished.

Wow I thought 100 was the max. I guess 200 is for TGV type lines I guess.

Enter your performance (up to 200% is possible, still too low for some consists ).

Actually, it's possible to go well over 200%. You can up into the thousands if you want.

Here's the video you asked for:

This train is running at 9000% efficiency

but the game will only let me get up to 200%? if i even put in 250% it will automaticaly go back to 200%

Same here.
Maybe there is a difference between standard and timetabled scenario mode? Can somebody confirm or bring light into this issue please?

EDIT: Ok, so I tried it the way it is showed in the video. Thank you ATSF.
Indeed, you cannot go over 200% in the timetable view. You need to select the "stop at/go via" instruction symbol above the locomotive. Doubleclick and you can change the percentage to a much higher value.

thanks guys will give this a try tomorrow!

wow i saw the video this will make scenario times cut in half when trailing an AI now that it moves at posted speeds. great find. I will be releasing some simple scenarios for the soo line soon. Just to let you all know I will be posting an update on the seattle sub as well.

will be uploading soo-line scenarios this week hopefully.

It works, got a 100 car train going at mainline speed on S&B route. (65mph to be exact)
