Yet another repos = ts2-sim

[pedromorgan]

OK so am playing with the concept of sharing more, and a website for users can exchange data etc etc..

So one thing I realise now.. is that we need to split what we call data away from sim..

So even though I knocked up the repos..I would like to just retarget them now, with a New plan = idea (yet another one)

ts2-data

This will contain all the data definitions for

• signals data
  • This is kinda in /country/singals/ directory atmo
• trains data
  • This is data about carriages, length, pwoer, mtu locos, width, height..
  • Eg locomotive power, diesel, electric, lenght, manufacturer, etc
• general sim data (eg accelerations, wind speed, temp)
  • gradients, speeds, temp (eg ice), snowstorm.. live weather in future = METAR
• axle counters, points and engineering
  • Each of these can be defined..

Please Note.. Am taking a leaf out of FlightGear's book here, in that the navdata and stuff is shared and used accross the project eg engines, performance wingspan, airports runway width/length,lighting)

So ts2-data would generally define the sim (instead of in code) and how signals works/look etc etc..

ts2-sims

Is the new repo, with the simulations.
This stuff is built on top of the ts2-data
and intended for future fans to control.. and share sims and stuff..

There would be stuff from the ts2-data eg rolling stock and signals to be from..
and then save.. indeed a few users could tweak a perfect sim..

r&d

Noted inspiration is some research from the other evening,
About different signalling.. and I think we should link to this on www..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5cfjwSpIds (havent watched yet)
and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOQL1AkKoYg

So these lights et all for me look like an svg graphic..

Its got a Lights and a black and some indicators..

So I think we need to go this way, so we can define..

• signals, trains, weight, performance etc
• and then a controller can mess it up..
• BUT, our system works ??

I want to have more fun, and make ts2 a signlaaing simulator, your will need to design your train set.. and a trully opensource input derived Signal Simulator

I think we can do that.. But always..
Everyone want their own local railway station, and to drive the train from there..

ts2-sims

Would include the route learner..
