    Tire size affecting vehicle speed

    I guess some vehicles do, just none of the ones I've owned or driven. Not understanding the reason behind it, but appreciate the info nonetheless.

    Tire size affecting vehicle speed

    From Neutral to Drive? None of my automatic transmission vehicles have required the brake to be depressed to go from Neutral to Drive or vice versa. To take it out of Park, yes, but not Neutral. I think if you try it you'll find you don't need to.

    Serious timing issues, need help

    Your simulated pulse speed from the old PC didn't transfer to the new PC (or, you aren't in simulated pulse anymore and need to either fix/remeasure the pulse or turn simulated pulse back on). If you are on TunnelWatch 4 or 5, on the Operations page there is a way to change the simulated pulse...

    Car wash knife

    Interesting approach. I carry a Benchmade Tactical Triage that has a partially-serrated blade that works very well for me. It's a folding knife with a thumb stud so I can open it one handed very easily. It also has a glass breaker and seat belt cutter, both of which I hope to never need to...

    Vehicle queuing and tunnel controller

    I'm not familiar with Sonny's system, but for sure the DRB carpics only works with DRB's sitewatch. I don't know if there are any queue systems that work with any controller.

    Recomended Pay Station to mesh with DRB

    Interesting - I knew they could re-purpose some of DRB's hardware, but I didn't know they could get their pay stations to talk to a DRB system.

    Recomended Pay Station to mesh with DRB

    As I understand it, you'll need to get your paystation from DRB if you want it to mesh with an existing DRB system. Do you know what DRB system they are running?

    CarWatch last minute support before update

    Unfortunately, DOS doesn't have the equivalent of a system restore or compatibility mode. A 201 error can mean many different things in CWT, so it can be difficult to diagnose and recover from. One thing I remember is doing a purge and expand in Customer Tracking if you have that feature...

    Dual conveyer belt reverse operation

    If there were no "flights" to keep the vehicles from moving around, a piece of equipment *could* have pushed one vehicle backward into another. As others have said, you need to get cameras in there to see what is happening - oh, and get the belt repaired/"flights" replaced to help prevent...

    Who's equipment do you recommend for Express Tunnel build

    As long as you are dealing with one of the top tier equipment manufacturers, the deciding factor would be the local distributor. You might get better results if you start a new thread with your location asking about distributors in your area.

    Why am I going through so many Relay Cards?

    Generally, voltage/amperage issues will only result in a bad relay or lifted trace on a specific relay's circuit, they don't result in the types of issues the OP reported (activating wrong relays, etc.). I think MC3033 has hit on it if DRB has had a bad batch of relay cards.

    Why am I going through so many Relay Cards?

    I see they've changed the name to "Talk DRB Tunnel Solutions" since the last time I looked. You can find it here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/talkdrbtunnel I hope they can help figure it out.

    Why am I going through so many Relay Cards?

    Sounds like you might have run into a bad batch of relay cards. Try posting in the Talk DRB Facebook group, sometimes that can get the attention of the right people to dig into it more deeply.

    No worries, glad to see you back. For sure, quality devices and good wiring are essential to proper operations, regardless of the type of device being used.
