(if passengers request

2.10 Stopping point

On some routes the trains will not stop at small stations if passengers don’t request to stop. In the

scenario editor you can find the “RSSLO Desiro Stop” object that can be added to the tracks.

When the model passes this point, the indicator “Haltewunsch” (stop on next station) will show

up on main display.

2.11 GSP 95 (destination display)

To show the destination names on the train, it is necessary to enter the number into the GSP 95.

Picture 8: GSP 95

Two options to enter the number:

You need to input number from list that is located in:

͙/railworks/Manuals/EN/DisplayStations.pdf

If the input number is bigger than 100 the models always chooses the last two digits of the

number. For example if the entry number is

4567 the model will select number

67

(Großheringen).

Picture 9: Train number for the destination board

The user must add the new text file with the name of the train number. In this file the user must

also write the name of the sound file (000-200) and the distance traveled in meters.

Picture 10: Announcement sound

The sound files are located in the:

.../railworks/Assets/RSSLO/VT642/RailVehicles/Sound/GSP/Sounds/”001-200”.dav

The sounds are empty, so the user must change the sound files to hear the sound in the game.

The traveled distance starts counting from the point of train number entry. The best way to get

the traveled distance is to input the 99999 train number on the start station and where the user

wants to hear the sound file then the user needs to use the “CTRL+U” keys to get the traveled

distance.

For the AI trains, the destination will be selected depending on the first vehicle number

(depending on travel direction). The destination will show up when the train will start driving.
