I'm a girl and was curious how many other girls are interested in Trainz?

When the multiplayer comes out, maybe we can have a girls-only party xD
 
I'm not a girl,

...but I've been told I hit like one. Does that count?:hehe:

Welcome to the forums; there are a few ladies here, but they are far out numbered by brutish, hulking, sweaty men!
 
Euphod, If thats the description, I don't think I'm a guy :hehe: Glad to know there are women interested in the game :D
 
My GF is theatening to lock the PC, or leave me ... if I don't stop playing Trainz ... I'm sure gonna miss her.

Question: The DLS has been working and downloading Absolutely Flawlessly for many, many months now ... whats with all the complaints ? ? ?
 
lol good sense of humour in this forum.

I sure need some driving lessons in cab mode, I keep crashing. I know there's 3 brakes but when I see I'm on a collision course..."Where's the bloody brake?!" I'm a very good car driver though so no cracking lady jokes :P

It would be good if crashing was more realistic!
 
My older daughter enjoys playing Trainz - both creating layouts and driving. She's purely a DCC girl, and often enjoys crashing the train. In her defense, though, she's only 4 :-)

DCC mode is easy, and useful when testing a route. S W X = stop forward reverse

I prefer driving in Cab mode, with a mile long train, using 6-8 locos total. On my 37 mile grade, proper trainhandling is something that must be adhered to. As a consist gets away from you if you don't brake, or use dynamic braking. Psssssing away your air repeatedly, on a prototype train can lead to "no air" in the resivoirs and trainline, and a runaway. Trainz however is not capable of air loss.

Full Dynamic Braking is C and can only be set with the throttle in the off postion.
V = sand for traction
S F Q W WWWW = stop forward release = Drive-Throttle 5

On a downgrade (keeping your speed below 25 mph), hit: S C F W WWWW = Full Dynamic Braking, throttle notch 5

(If driving at a high speed, dynamic braking can take several miles to start slowing a heavy 125 car, 14,000 ton train).

Full Dynamics will slow the head end locos more, than 1/2 Dynamics.

The (bottom) Independant Brake E handle should (in real life) only be used if a loco has no traincars. (but in Trainz it applys some realistic, added braking).

The (upper) Train Brake, A AAAAAAAAA, 10 notch's, reduces air in the trainline causing all the railcars to apply brakes.

Emergency Braking (fully forward) is dumping all the trainline air.
P is pause, and really is not a realistic Emergency Brake (Trainz lacks this, as well as a bell switch in the cab, which is B).
H is Horn/Whistle.

A good speed to maintain is @ 35mph ... and try to brake, release, excelerate, brake, 1 mile before a stop is intended. Trains can't stop on a dime ... except in DCC Mode:p

Moving the controls by use of the mouse is very challenging, over keyboard operation.
 
hi Ninja girl

Welcome to the forums, you will find Trainz better than boyz even !!!

There are many girlz that use Trainz, of all ages, and several are fellow creators too !!!

Thanks, the explanations are really helpful.

I also like creating maps but it takes me years and even longer to fix all the bugs along the rail-line. I have to keep altering the ground level so my trains don't derail. Wouldn't have to if I just had flat ground but having it uneven makes it much more fun.

And Steam trains are the best!
 
A women, who likes trains, and can use a computer??

You do know that April Fools day was some months ago, yes?:hehe:

Seriously though, nice to meet you and welcome to the forums.

@Euohod, i resent that description, and request you would remove such slanderous comments from your post. I am not brutish and I do not hulk!

The sweating, though... That's another story.:hehe:

The Surveyor-Track Gradient tool, and the Track-Smooth Spline tool, are great ways of making sure the tracks are even and have smooth transitions. Most derailments are from non-connected track & bridge spline points.
 
Oh wow cool. I didn't know about the Track-Smooth Spline tool until you mentioned it. Was going to ask where it was but I finally discovered the 'Advanced' section :P

Really good tool, thanks for mentioning it!
 
I have never seen so many Trainzers welcome a single person.... Maybe its the fact she is a girl.....:o:hehe:

Anyway, welcome to the forums; we look forward to your future creations for Trainz!

Cheers,
JRT
 
Lady Drivers...?

:cool: Hello Frogz, Welcome to Trainz!

We do have a few Lady AI Drivers, Driver Cameron is on the DLS, kuid2 86311 40001 1

They don't generally appear in-cab, but you see them from outside.
 
Alberte made Cameron Diaz a driver Allen, that's why she's (Thankfully) there

It just reminds me that there are other things out of a dark room:hehe:

Or in the dark room, depending on how you look at it:hehe: :hehe: :hehe:
