Loading/Unloading Cars

[BNSF5767]

Is there going to be a way to load and unload our cars in a industry? That's what i would like to see! Like park them under the chute and the sim will open the chute's door and grain will come down into the car. That would be cool! Rick please reply

We will have passenger loading, and are investigating automobile loading for the Swiss route. Other than that we will have the ability to have loaded and unloaded cars in the consists, but no support for dynamically unloading\loading them during the game. We investigated adding support for 3rd parties, but determined there wasn't enough time to do it well, especially when we would have no time to showcase\test it in any of the routes.

Can consist cars be loaded/unloaded via SimConnect?

Doesn't matter if there is no actual loading/unloading animation, but would be good if SimConnect can be used to specify the actual "payload" weight of the car? And the physics of the train adjust according.

What about coal, log, stone, and container loading and unloading? Will that be in the game once it's finished? Rail Simulator has that (no, I'm not a Rail Simulator "Spokesman").

That's what everyone wants, to be able to take a car load it and then put it into a consist

The answer to that question is in the quote you provided in your post. ;)

Nope , I know people who don't want bling :D ... and if Aces can't add the bling and brown fog in the time allowed I'd rather they concentrate on getting the important bits working and relativly bug free in the first release and leave the fluff for later .
