Hi all,
I'm coming back to Trainz after being away for almost 10 years!
I just purchased Trainz 12 and since they had a sale on their Blue Comet I picked that up too.
I am a bit lost, however, on how I'm supposed to shovel coal. I have two sliders in the train controls on the lower right for coal and water. My understanding is that that's automatic shoveling/ injectors rates? Also I can't find documentation anywhere on which direction is which. I assume that toward the red indicator is slower and toward green is faster?
While feeling out the system, on my first run my coal level got low to about 30% and my boiler pressure dropped. According to the manual, I'm supposed to hit the spacebar and it will shovel more coal in. However, nothing happens. If I click on the menu option at the top of the screen and select "Shovel Coal" it will increase 1% for about every two times I click on it. That's a lot of menu clicking. Why doesn't the spacebar work? Perhaps I'm just missing a general concept. Can anyone clue me in?
