Hi Guys,

I'm asking myself a question : Why does trains run faster in auto-pilot mode ? That's a problem while testing activities.

Cordialement

The autopilot works as an AI train and it keeps everything with at least a 90% efficiency rating. If testing an activity you need to turn it to manual mode with climbing or going down any type of grade. I learned that the hard way.

That's what I suspected. It would be an easy way to test long activities. I'll continue to test in manual mode. Thanks for the answer.

Bonne journée

Hi Guys

What I do not understand is why the auto pilot mode doesn't take the efficiency entry of the player train. Is that a choise made by the developper team or is there a technical difficulty ?

Bonne journée
