Title: Running into another train
Post by: Danny Express on November 02, 2011, 03:36:33 pm
Well yesterday while driving a R68 D Train on OpenBVE, I Get red signals and next thing I know, its another D Train. Is it actually possible for this to happen (Even though its not OpenBVE Multiplayer)?

Yes acutally i have found out numerous times OpenBve puts live trains running in fornt and in back of your train. I was driving the F express version and i went to fast and caught up with another F and had to stop. that also happend on the 7, so yes its common

Yes, in every single route in every single run there will be a train ahead of you. This is some realism thing. However, if you want to change the distance of the train, you have to go into the route file and increase a number.

Yes every single route you play in OpenBVE will have a train in front of you. If you run ahead of schedule and catch up to the train in front you will see it.

Is there a way where you can increase the number of train in front of you? If there is can you please teach me thanks :)

No, OpenBVE will automatically generate one train in front of you and one train behind you, based on the train interval and if you follow the schedule or not.

Last time I remembered, you can change the interval by going into the route file. I'll check it out later

in RW it is usually at the top of the route file in the [train] section..look for something like Interval=600 or such.

In CSV files, it is "route.runinterval xxx" or otherwise something similar

Be careful though, the signaling on many routes is such that only one red signal is behind the train in front of you: the signal that train just passed. On real NYC subway lines, there are at least two red signals behind a train.

About how much do you increase the interval. Like i want the train to be ahead of me by 2 stop :)

You're gonna have to use common sense on that one. The route interval is measured in seconds, so, like in the picture, 240 is 240 seconds, or four minutes. 600 seconds is 10 minutes. And something like 5,000 is 83-84 minutes. If you know anything about the automated systems going around the subway nowadays, then this should help.
