LIMIT: What is it?
#1

If this is the speed limit (F5) for the route you are running on then it's never correct for me. I can load the same route 7 times in a row and get 5 different LIMIT readings and it's never the route limit. What is this LIMIT?
Why doesn't this work? It has never worked correctly for me for the past two years. I keep waiting for it to be fixed but it never does.
Can this be fixed before the next release?
Oh, BTW, I'm running the most latest ORTS beta as of yesterday.

Are you starting each time at the same location and the same engine?
Quote
It's the track or signal speed limit for the location you are. For instance, I open one of the activities on the LIRR in the Fresh Pond East Yard running track. Limit = 25. If I start a different activity in the same yard but in the actual yard tracks Limit=15.
Limit is the lower of either track or signal speed for a particular location.'
The maximum allowed speed (MAS) in a route is defined in the routes routename.trk file.

Last time the LIMIT read 11. When I exceeded that the monitor turned red. I don't like that.
I have a constantly color changing monitor. http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/thumbdown3.gif

Hence why it seems to be different if you are running different trains.

- Overall route speed limit
- Max speed set by speedpost or signal
- Max speed defined in consist definition
- Lowest value of max speed as defined for all vehicles which make up the train
So, starting with different trains each time could indeed well lead to different limit values.
You need to check all .eng and .wag files as well as the .con files to check for speed limit values.

Yes.
If you have a lot of consists to check then Context will do the job, but it does change all....
This tutorial is helpful for metres/second (in MSTS) to mph speed setting:

Are you starting the activity in a siding somewhere where there is no speed limit set at the end of the siding? Just "exploring" maybe?
