Speed record

[TheFlyingElf]

What's the record for the highest speed a Trainz loco has reached...I have a Maglev running round a 5.7 mile circular [normal] track (not strictly true to life I know!)...after 3 hours it was up to 23396mph, and still increasing...

Cheers,

Nige

[Ferrous]

Mach 75 (see the supercharged F7 post in Toatlly Un-Possible screenies for proof! :eek: ).

Though, if I wanted, I could wait for it to go faster... :D :D

[TheFlyingElf]

It's up to 44,900 mph now and still going up, and I'm getting bored with it...I'm going to save the session and come back to it later!

Do these things have a terminal velocity, or is the limit the available number of digits on the screen display!?

Now down to some proper work...

:cool: how can a maglev go that fast?

[MAGLEVSX]

WOW!!! I can Only get my maglev to go 7000kph before the graphics
start flash and disappear...

Gtasa - Go to surveyor set up a big ,round track get the maglev
cars and put them on the track (any) and go to driver and click on CAB MODE realese the brakes and put throttle to full and watch it go round and round it should start to go
speeds over 1000kph!!!! :udrool:

And why would one want to do this ???

If a virtual train breaks the sound barrier, is there a virtual sonic boom?
If you get it up to lightspeed, does it disappear? If you can get it to "warp" speed......will it open a wormhole on your monitor?

You might end up with a black hole on your monitor if you do that! :D

We'll see when it reaches 65536 MPH. :o

[sfrr]

My PC froze at 6000 MPH

no that only happens when you get one too many FATAL ERRORS .. smoke and sparks tend to come out of it too.:hehe:

[gtasa]

thanks you for the tip

[sully617]

Hey gtasa whats the name of your avatar???

[Ferrous]

Go to User CP (top left under the TC logo on this page) and select "Choose Avatar" on the left. There sould be some way to select the region, so select "North America" and start browsing for it. I believe the name is some compilation of "Southern Pacific" or "SP", "Daylight", and "4449". :wave:

[crankmetal]

Sounds fun to me!
Mine is off and running now to see what it will do. By the way, is there any way you could lay track to get it to loop the loop??

[Ferrous]

With no modifications and in run 8 on the ProtoClinch route, I got a CSX (Operation Redblock) GP38-2 in excess of 120mph! And as soon as I can get home, I'll provide proof!

[0099]

WEll i think i might have the fastest time...
I can't get photos at the moment( photobucket is down) but ive gotton the default redhen to do:
12584600 KPH
OR...
7482090 MPH :eek: :o :hehe: :p

[TheFlyingElf]

How long was that running?

Nige

[0099]

For about 10 seconds :p
I can't go to about 16 million k's but then my train just stops...
ill try and time it perfectly to get my max speed soon.

EDIT* Heres proof in KPH

[sethmcs]

Let's see some video!:cool:

[0099]

Ok wait till tommorow then :p

*Edit: If anyone wan'ts to see video proof they will have to PM me there email address cause when trying to uplaod to you tube etc you can't see the speedo and the writing goes all weird.

Isn't that sort of what the portals do? Create wormholes to transport your Trainz across vast distances.

Anyway, high speeds aren't really such a great trick, a few tweaks in the engine spec and the old Jetsled can reach over 2000 kph in less than 4 seconds although the driver might not be too comfortable. Further tweaks could push the speed to however many digits the engine spec can accept. :sleep:

SSSSSH you'll give away my secret :hehe:

[Spawn_of_Chaos97]

I got the Hotrod F7A to 200,000+ MPH...I have a shot around here somewhere...

Edit:

Ah, there it is.

Best thing is, it can get that speed with 9,000 Imperial tons of coal behind it, just takes a bit longer to get there lol...

[0099]

Is that one faster than mine or will no one go faster than 15 million k's ?:hehe: :o

[Ferrous]

Wait a mo: you got a standard Redbird to Mach 12235!?!?! :eek:

IN FIVE SECONDS?!?!?!?!?!?!?:eek: :eek:

That's got me beat!

:eek: How do you that? I want to make my trains go that fast!!! :D But I don't want to end up with a blackhole on my computer and I don't want the program to freeze...:o

[bernhart_lossiemouth]

It is so simple but effective. Like bacteria.

The microscopic site of Bernie :wave:

[freightcar2]

What is? And how do you make trains go that fast? :udrool:

[Ferrous]

2 words: enginespec modification. :D

(find the espec in cmp, edit in CCP (if you can get it to work) the top speed)

[Ben1337]

............................My god.

I wonder if i could make my make believe train go faster.:o

[Iced8383]

i am against engine spec modification :confused:

i just see how fast my trains can go
