Derail Valley Sim - Unlocking the DM3 and Shunting Duties

Hi folks, time for another DVS adventure. I'd love some feedback as always, so I can concentrate on what it is you want from these videos.

Definitely agree on the Time of Day feeling very short. Wanted to create a custom version to Standard Difficulty where it was longer but sadly it goes straight from the 2 hours to a full 24 hour cycle.

Even a full 24 hour cycle would suit me better than a 2 hour cycle as you can sleep during night

What's the disadvantageous of time passing by "too" fast? Seems, the RL time/minutes doesn't change anyway, right? I don't have DVS, so I can't check by myself. ;)

There's 2 timescales happening in game, the jobs use real time, so of a sheet gives you 121 minutes, you do have that in real time which isn't an issue. The 2md timescale is the day/night cycle which condenses 24 hours into 2 hours. My issue with this is that you start a job just as it's getting light and it's often dark by the time you reach the destination. Multiple shunting jobs cannot be completed unless you are prepared to work in the dark, which is hard when shunting

You can sleep in a bed or on a couch…

[@trainswithnickyt]

@@alexwesterhof1347 you can indeed and I have been doing that...a lot. I'd like to sit down on a Sunday afternoon and spend a few hours shunting and running trains, without having to keep running back and forth to a sofa. I think a 4 or 6 hour day/night cycle would be much better. It's not a game breaker by any means, but not ideal, especially for content creation. If half of my videos were spent in darkness, nobody would want to watch.

Good point, I agree
