Hi,
Also, see this post. Doesn’t say much but is related

- [20-min rule] Make citizens aware of traffic jams
If they actually take 2 hours by car to get from A to B, make them give up the car for good!
Isn’t this implemented now?
I think you should do this in steam. Right-click on train-fever in your library and select properties. There somewhere you find an option game-language
I don’t recall the ESC-key could be used that way. But, in case you don’t remember or know, the DELETE key, closes all the windows.
To change the angle, press and hold the CTRL-key. Then hold you left-mouse button and move your mouse. This will change the angle.
Hope this helps!
I think I read this somewhere on the web-site, prior to the release:
– Data-layers
It would be very useful to add some data-layers, like:
– Max speed for train-tracks (already mentioned, could be added this way)
– Traffic density on road/rail
– Incline/decline for rail
– ???
well, I guess you’ve succeeded creating a topic every time as I see lots of the same now 😉
Great Idea btw, thanks!
Try to remove the track on the opposite side (destination) of your bridge. I usually get a collision i that situation because of the slope there: it can’t be modified to fit the bridge as a track is already blocking it.
I’ve got this gridlock problem too. It happens when there is more than 1 track to be used for the same route. e.g., when you’ve got 4 rail-tracks connecting 2 (4-track)stations, all one way. Setting up the route, it will choose track 1 for A to B, and track 2 for B to A.
To connect a depot, I’ve added switches somewhere in the middle (using correct signals).
Now, when the route suddenly changes, now using track 3 and 4 due to another modification else were, I sometimes end-up with some of the trains on track 1 and 2, and some of them on track 3 and 4. As they try to switch back to the same tracks, they jam each-other. Especially when the causing change also changes the usage of track 3 and 4, as I did not expect any trains to be on these.
Waypoints, waypoints, waypoints….Can’t wait. Hope tomorrow’ll be the day
I’ve un-grouped all stops in my tram-lines: problem solved!
But again, this is a work-around. Hope it get’s fixed somehow.
One thing I found out is that most problems are caused by cars trying to turn. They can only do so at entrances of depots or train-stations (DEVs confirmed this somewhere in the forum).
To help traffic, I usually build some extra road-depots scattered around the city. This seems to help a lot, although it’s merely a work-around rather then a solution.
I often get a jam at the train stations as a lot of buses and tram’s pass there. If a car tries to turn at the train-station’s entrance and the lane it wants to return into is blocked by a stopping bus/tram, it blocks the traffic on the other lane as well (this in turn could prevent to stopping bus to leave, so the car cannot complete its turn….).
To solve this, I noticed it helps if you don’t connect the train-station directly to a road, but place a small section of road between them. This way, the car can make a full turn in the “entrance and wait for the lane to free-up, without blocking the other lane.
Well, all I can say is that I always have a hard time replacing any road city-to-city connection by a rail connection too. No matter where I build the train-station (even in the center of each city).
Eventually the train will get more and more passengers but the road-connection will still be heavily used. So I guess the train-passengers are ‘new’, not ones which would use the road connection if the train wasn’t there, or road passengers which now use the train.
