Anyone seen my trains yet?

Oh wow! Instabuy. So whatā€™s the easiest way to actually find some trains? Fly around big train stations probably?

EDIT: This might help

Off to DC I go :ga_plane:

Congrats.

This is something many have wanted for a long time, and most in the know reckoned couldnā€™t be done.

Iā€™ll look forward to seeing them in action.

Soo I just started off at Toronto Union Station (2nd biggest in North Ameria) and followed the tracks (3-4 of them in parallel) east for about 10 minutes. Did not see a single train.

And I did restart the sim after installation as stated in the description.

What am I doing wrong? Or are the no trains in PG areas?

And are there any parameters that can be changed (e.g. density)?

i did a flight around chicago area, didnt find any trains. They are pretty too sparsely allocated :grimacing:

Would be cool if anyone who actually saw a train could report back lol

Itā€™s live on Xbox as well now! Sweet thanks for making.

What is your plan doe FS2024?

Oh uh oh. Im in Chicago area too. Maybe Iā€™ll hold off on purchasing for now until replies come in. Save it on the wish list

Cheat code if you really want to find a train:

Summary

Open devmode, in ā€œDebugā€ menu click ā€œSim Objectsā€. In the ā€œUNKNOWNā€ category (NOT the one named ā€œTRAINā€), Look for objects with type AICreateSimulatedObject, then enable label on the object to see where it is.

So I just made an annount here because of thisā€¦ I have now flow at three locationsā€¦ Horseshoe Curve, Northeast Corridor and Cajon Pass and I havenā€™t seen a single train. All of these are mainlines, not a single Amtrak or Cargo Train. Yes, I restrated the sim after installing. The only thing I noticed were all tracks are now marked on the G1000 and the tracks seem to be more clearly visable

Will try that out. Still a bit discouraging to go to the second biggest train station in N. America, follow the tracks for 10 mins and not see a single train. Any idea why this is the case?

Is the density at all representative of real train lines or do you have to be lucky to catch a train once in a blue moon?
