    Nope, the pins in the couples would be on opposite sites, shorting everything. Even if all the pins would line up, both trains would try to move into their forward direction. YOu would need a modification to let the second train know to drive backwards

    That's not exactly how it works, and I say it as a train driver. There are no forward or reverse signal, but there are two seperate line in the Schafenberg for the directions. The tram doesn't care about the position of the Reverser (I mean it actually cares, but it can't read), it only cares that it gets a Signal from one of those lines (what you switch with the reserver), and where does it come from (rear coupling or front)

    So no, it wouldn't go in different directions.

    actually, it would, If two trams are coupled back to back (considering one has their pins flipped to match the other) and both get the forward signal, both would go forward, meaning opposite of each other. And yes, as you mention, most Tatras don't care if signal comes from the front or back coupling, and here is the issue. In order to allow for back to back coupling to work, atleast one needs to have their pins for the reverser flipped so that the second car moves in the same direction as the first vehicle.


    And before you ask, I work as an electrician at our public transport company and I repair Tatras.

    Even if the tram is not designed for it, shouldn't it still be technically possible. I mean, it's just a standard connection, and you could release the brakes on the tram behind?

    Also I've got 32 GB of normal RAM in my setup so, could the sim take advantage of this?

    RAM has nothing to do with graphics memory. According to another post from you your graphics card has 4GB VRAM (graphic RAM). Those get filled up quickly, so textures need to be loaded in back again.

    The rollband on the display doesn't "roll" when changing the destination. It only appears without any animations.

    This is not a bug. This happens when you have low graphic settings set. Set them higher and try it again, this should fix that issue.

    If I am not mistaken the AMD R2 Graphics are iGPU's made for low power laptops based for office work. I do not know if they made it into desktop CPU's. Nevertheless this cpu is somewhat simular to intel graphics and it's made for office work and you might be even able to watch Youtube videos, but nothing more. Unless you get a real GPU (considering it is a Desktop, not a laptop) I doubt there is anything you can do to run LOTUS on your current setup.

    Repaints are fully optional and do not be needed to be added to the list. Repaints work regardless of if you have them installed or not. If you don't have them installed you just see the vehicle without repaint.

    Remove them and you should be fine. Cannot spot anything that would increase the number of addons to 50+.

    Just to make sure, you press and hold the middle mouse button and then you move your mouse?


    If this doesn't work. Are you sure the middle mouse button works? You can test it in your web browser by going to a long page (Like the forums start page), press it once and move your mouse up and down.

    Works fine with other trams in LOTUS.

    Of course they are, but if we add, like Dominik suggested, another language for german and english, it would be 3 languages total and this would mean that people that, for example only have german enabled, will NOT see topics that have the "german&english" language selected since "german&english" is not "german".


    At the end as I already said, just leave it how it is right now.


    I hope it was understandable.
