It's called the dead man's switch because say you passed out and released it whatever the switch is attached to will stop working. A common example of a device that has a dead man's switch is a push lawnmower.

Erm oops, looks like air pressure was the problem, mine was at 0.  :)  and why is it called a dead man switch?  It can't have anything to do with dead men, unless it's a ghost train I'm driving around the London underground.  :)

Hi Lori.

Have you made sure you’ve got enough air pressure, f4 tells you that, and have you made sure your doors are closed.

 

Thanks.

Nick.

Hi Nick, I'm trying to play the latest Tube Sim version, but am unable to move my train with the deadman switch with either tab or f12.  When I hold down tab nothing happens and when I press f12 nothing happens either.  I've tried disabling Jaws, but that hasn't helped, and I'm running the latest version.  Do you know what could be wrong?  I'm using windows 7 on a del laptop. 

Thanks from Lori.

Hi All.

In 2016 I released Tube Sim, a simulation of the London Underground train system where you get to drive the tube.

Today, June 15th, 2020, I’m pleased to let you know I’ve released an update to Tube Sim.

In game audio is now available in French and significant updates to the code have been made to allow the possibility of supporting more languages in the future.

The update also contains a number of bug fixes and minor updates for all languages including:

removing a number of leading silences in audio files.

reducing the possibility of large speed reductions.

improving the carriage temperature system to avoid implausible values.

, improving a number of sounds and rerecording some prompts.

Reducing the sound of outside ambience events when near a platform.

Option in the main menu to select language.

Option in the main menu to switch on and off unit announcements during game play.

Improved intelligence of passenger boarding and disembarking code.
