I bought this well over 10 years ago and have held onto it. I wish I had bought the add-on that let you design your own layouts. It's pretty close to the real thing. It came with dozens of territories, this is a Conrail line in Ohio.

The company that made it stopped supporting/developing/selling it years ago, so it's vaporware as far as I can tell.

Most of the simulations that I've seen (haven't tried OP yet) were British (I don't care) or just plain sucked. Hopefully the one in the OP will be better.

Fucking hell that looks awful. BART trains are supposed to be futuristic and clean with slanted ends. This looks like some plastic chinese piece of garbage.
>>
What is the point of BART? It's like, let's make a train that stops once in Oakland, twice in San Francisco as far from everything as humanly possible, and then somewhere down there in like San Mateo or whatever

Every time I go to San Francisco I think, "man I should really try and use BART more on this visit" and then I look at the map and remember why I'm always just walking everywhere or taking cabs
>>
>>1133593
The retro-futuristic 70s styling is the only thing I liked about BART trains. Now there's nothing left to like since they're switching to generic shit rolling stock that nobody will be able to tell apart from all the other generic shit rolling stock on systems around the planet. Not only do they look like shit, the build quality is also pretty bad:

Last trip we did it was 18ft waves up and down sideways for the last 24hrs into the Azores, totally okay on yachts as we've got 12 ton of lead in the keel, but grrrrrrrr were watches annoying - pitch black and helming by feel, so as the boat rolls up and down the wave it's purely by touch as we've got no star or moon to steer by.

Are there any other first generation network other than Melbourne operating Citadises? All the ones I've been on so far were on (mostly french) seocnd generation networks whose curves and gradients were built with the rolling stock in mind.
>>
>>1133457
The Adelaide trams are Citadises. A casual browse of the wikipedia page also returned St. Petersburg and Rotterdam which both seem to have old tram networks. I'm not sure how much either of them have reworked their track.

Railpage commentators have pointed out before that the Citadises were really made for European light rails. They are more of a mistake from an era of two competing operators just after privatisation than anything else. They actively compete with the Combinos because they're both low floor but with totally different traction systems.

whats your stand on anti-inflammatories/painkillers messing up trainning?

once someone told me that anti-inflammatories where counterproductive after trainning, that they interfered with muscle regeneration/overcompensation. since then, i try to avoid them if i can. but i dont have a solid base for doing that. what do you guys know about this?

i mainly ask cause i did a hard breakthrough ride on friday, but at the same time im having some problems with a shoulder. last night i took 400mg of ibuprofen, and now waking up on sunday for training, i feel legs like new.. but also kinda "not pumped", or "smaller"(?) , i know it may only be psichological, or maybe they just got enough rest.. but i could bet the anti-inflamatory did something there.. hope the hard work didnt go down the toilet. it was 180km with a lot of z3 and z4 (going up to z6 a bunch of times).


feel freee to talk about any pills or things not to do or do that can help mess up training. thanks!

Use this stuff. Natural anti-inflammatory. Local roadies round here swear by it and my GP recommended it.

It's also really tasty and gives nice colour to food.

Are Shimano Hollowtech II and Campagnolo Power Torque BB the same technology? As in, can I use a Veloce crankset with Tiagra BB cups? They look pretty similar but I'm not sure
>>
>>1133548
I was actually thinking the same, but I think it'd be prety easy. It's raining outside so I can't be assed but my plan was to drill small holes in the fender, then use those to attach a flap with some wire or something.
Better than tape since I can see tape sliding off in wet weather. Not sure what I'd make the flap itself out of, I'd like it to match colour wise (black). Perhaps part of a black plastic bottle. Or a flappy bit of rubber from an old car mat or something. Or some old inner tubes?
>>
>>1133552
Inner tubes are probably too flimsy. I've been thinking if I can find a small sheet of black rubber, maybe 2 mm thick, that should work.

cut out a ~100 mm section of old bike tire (minus the beads). drill two mounting holes in rubber & fender. mount using stainless steel bolt + lock-washer + nut.

Ultimate responsibility lies with KLM for making the rule governing maximum pilot duties.

If the Captain was not in a rush to take off he wouldn't have made the mistake. And he was in a rush to take off because KLM made the rule.

As a burger who doesn't know how to ride a bike, I'm getting the following lessons from this thread

If you're a cager

>don't bike unless it's a dedicated bike area or you plan on donating organs
>support separate bike paths to reduce cars, bikes, and homicidal confrontations from the roads

If you're a biker

>buy a horn, a baby carrier, and a Go-Pro
>use the baby carrier to hide a JA-9 in case you need to riddle a car with bullets and throw your gun down the storm drain
>use the Go-Pro to record sick footage of said ten mile an hour drive by shootings

This incident was like 10 years ago.
But I completely agree. Forward visibility is a huge problem with many taildraggers, and a lot of taildragger pilots I know seem to have this dismissive macho attitude about it. I know a pilot who has had two propstrikes directly attributable to this issue and is STILL dismissive when I suggest he put a taxi/landing camera on the belly as insurance.
