Rescue attempt – Derail Valley simulation update part 2



In part 1 of this Derail Valley escapade I broke the train, although it obviously wasn’t my fault. This time around I’m going to replace the locomotive and head back on mission with no drama.

  2. 25:48 "what's the squeaky squeaky noise?" As he sits in reverse gear and allows the train to burn it out going forward downhill. 🤣 How are you so bad? You've played thousands of hours of train games.

  3. Fantastic episode.

    I miss the short CF facecam outro after each video.
    Im currently rewatching the resources and workers republic de soviet series, and my favorite part are the outro's.

    This feels like a good series to have them again.

  4. Hydraulic fluid used by most things is pretty much vegetable oil nowadays and won't ignite by your simple lighter. Still has buncha additives that aren't all that good for nature, but won't explode from little flame!

  5. fun fact, the old temp model for the DE2 doesn't work like it used, to, it doesn't matter wich way the engine is facing. the temperture guage is for the electric motors for the wheels, and only heats up under operation and cools down with the less power going in, wich the amperage being feed in also going down as the speed increases and the temp will drop on it's own.

  6. I must get back derail valley myself after the changes, but the issue at the end was giving it too much power to soon under load, it sent a ton of voltage through your traction motors and popped the breaker, its a new mini game they added called how hard can i push this to get up to speed as quickly as possible before it blows up in my face.

  7. You actually persuaded me to try this – Train Sim bores the pants off me, but this is relaxing in a Eurotruck sort of way. I did find for driving the little diesel that if you open the door next to the handbrake & put yourself in the doorway, and then press Alt to go into mouse mode that you can see all the controls, use all the controls without bobbing your view around and where you're going, which is always a bonus… you can ignore the MU license thing & connect the brakes anyway, it's just an extremely annoying mouseover message.

    Also I put a giant tran down a canyon in hour two, also a bonus.

  8. Locomotive throttle direction depends on the manufacturer. There is no standard direction even though you'd think there would be. This has lead to some interesting situations when operating real trains in my experience.

  9. Regarding the immersion. Refusing to teleport around map had me fully immersed, while lifting a 38 ton loco with a laser pointer had the opposite effect. 😋

  10. FYI… if you throw the map at the window on the left side of the console , it will drop down into a little notch that will stop it moving about on side and it would also be in your line of vision which
    enables to to not miss the speed and inclination signs lol

  11. you got train brake and individual brake. The individual one is only on the locomotiv, the train on the whole train (locomotiv and cars). Operating both brakes at the same time is usually not necessary. If you have a train, use the train brake. If your only locomotiv use the individual brake. If the individual brake is applied the train brake does nothing for the locomotiv, since it already has brakes applied. So you are making it more complicated than what it is.
