Swiss Signaling (System L): Group Signals, Level Crossings | Berninalinie (Train Sim World tutorial)
Exploring the super scenic Berninalinie, we look closer on Swiss group signals and signals at level crossing, while running downhill from Ospizio Bernina in Switzerland to Tirano in Italy.
Full "Scenic Views" scenario in Rivet Games' breathtaking Berninalinie DLC for Dovetail Games' Train Sim World 4, featuring a recap of the Swiss railway signalling "System L" (22:38), speed boards (27:25), tramway signals (29:34) and System L speed signalling (34:38), before we discuss the different ways of using group (exit) signals on the Arosalinie (38:34) and the Berninalinie (43:45) as well as the signals and signs that can be found at and before level crossings (2:22:24).
I was using custom engine.ini-settings that led to severe drops in FPS with all the trees and their shadows on the far away mountain sides. I am still working on optimizing this.
