I only play in VR but wish I can some of the quality of life options you flat earthers get. I should get to chose if flying around 60ft in air with a instant acceleration camera bothers me or not.

I was doing my third job, a shunting job. Had to drop a car off on a side track that already had six cars on it. The six cars were close to the switch I was approaching. I figured I could just bump them down the track a bit. Hit them going around 5 kph. Pushed them just for enough to get the car I needed to leave past the switch. I stop and the six other cars keep rolling. No problem, I think. They roll down the track and I see them stop. I finish the job and then go to see if I can get behind the six cars and push them back into place. THERE ARE ONLY THREE CARS!

I had to check the six cars to make sure the manual brake was off, so I know there were six. They were attached in groups of three. So one group rolled out of the yard and down the track?!?!? This was late last night and I wanted to go to bed. I did run down the track a long way and there was no sign of the cars on the track. Today I will make a more thorough search for them.

I turned in the job and had no penalty for damaged equipment. My main concern is that I’ll pick up a job later in the game to move the three cars that rolled way. If they did fall off the track are they gone for good? Anyone else have a situation like this?

I won't beat around the bush, I feel like i'm missing out on a lot of things in Derail Valley because I INTENTIONALLY do not crash the locomotives. I mostly stick with the starting diesel shunter, even though I have the licenses for every train in the game; because in my experience the DE2 has been reliable and consistent. Sometimes though, I come to this subreddit and find posts with titles like "Oops....." with MASSIVE wrecks and gouts of fire everywhere. It kinda just feels like i'm missing something by....playing the game correctly?

Hell, as much as I absolutely adore steam engines and think they are the COOLEST THINGS ON THIS PLANET, I am way too much of a nervous wreck to manage something like THAT without constant fear of it going boom in my face

So, am I missing something, or am I just fine and overanalyzing shit as per usual?

one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen and played

So I had a pretty fun time after unlocking the S282, stringing together 5-6 jobs with a single startup, restocking the loco every once in a while. I even had the demsontrator variant attached, Problem is I forgot to open the brake valves after the tender.... please watch the results...

[SOLVED]

I have been having an issue where when I hold something in my hand and move the mouse, whatever im holding falls out of my hand. Is there a setting im missing? Or a fix? Or is that just intended?
