Adding a warning sound when your train at Derail threat
« on: 14 02, 2020, 05:10:53 am »
So, as simple as what title suggests.
I am here to suggest adding a warning sound when your train is at derail risk. The current derail warning is just a single line on the right bottom corner of the screen. I think it could be more realistic and useful by adding a warning sound when you are at derail risk.


Therefore, I pick this special warning sound which is actually in use by JR Central, 313 Series when the train is at Overspeed.


Shorter / Default version of the warning sound: https://soundcloud.com/xgreatben/atscnt

Longer / Repeated version of the warning sound: https://soundcloud.com/xgreatben/atscrtlong

I believed that this could help train drivers more aware of their speed and their derail risk. Also, it could bring some roleplay as well.

This warning sound should be repeated until derail risk was excluded. (Vehicle Slowed down)

Thanks.

The biggest warning of the derail threat is that your screen will start shaking. I'm astounded as to how you could have possibly missed that.

Screen shakes at 150KPH. while Derail threat warning starts at 130 KPH.
When the screen shakes, it'll be very close to the final moment of the derail.
On the other hand, sounds are always more useful than the image.

Positive Because as you said the  screen as you said starts shaking at 150 Kph I think the warning on the side of the screen isn't enough to draw my attention  if there is an issue.

I support you with this since what you said is true: "...sounds are always more useful than the image." Besides, the written warning isn't notorious enough... so a sound would be perfect for this case. Positive :tick:

That makes sense, I have heard the sounds they are really great sounds and exactly as you said, It gives more Roleplay to this job, It does need more improvements and I guess that was one of those improvements to the Train Driver job, It wasn't something necessary but I changed my opinion when I heard the sound, It forces the player to slow down his train speed.. I would like to support your suggestion.

Sounds lit to me. Screen shaking plus alert alarm would be amazing. Positive.

Yeah, noticed it also that the current system of the alarm on 'Derail' is kinda not noticeable.

Alert Alarm plus Screen shaking is totally noticeable, yeah that's help players get aware of getting derail.

Positive.

well, when we reach the speed limit, the screen shakes, but if a warning sound is added, it helps players and adds a little more reality to the game. Positive.
put all your soul into it, play the way you feel.

This suggestion sound great because when someone reached the speed limit and this sound will make the player(s) pay more attention on his speed. Positive

If people get distracted with so many things, this one will surely reassure us to notify that we're getting a warning sign. Players often not paying attention to their speed (at least to some) and they only notice the speed when they are about to get derailed when their train is shaking.  :tick:

This make sense to me, I played train driver before but tbh I was a bit confuse of the shaking thingy so I just press my "W" and ignore it, and then suddenly I fall from the railings, well In my point one warning is fine but two warnings will let them stop and slow down and the good thing is its a sound which you can notice easily. upvoting this.
