You’ll also find 8 tunnels with an overall length of 2421 meters and over 80 bridges of various sizes and lengths!

    [​IMG]

    Liberec - Stará Paka is the first Czech route Add-on to come to Train Sim World 6.

    Highlights of the route include:

    • NEW 75km route between Liberec and Stará Paka
    • NEW Czech Signalling with a Czech Signalling Guide available on our website
    • NEW Class 843 locomotive in 2 variants and 2 distinct liveries, featuring Train Faults and Announcements

    • 11 Stations and 9 Stops as well as 8 Tunnels and over 80 bridges!

    We've also prepared a comprehensive Liberec - Stará Paka Manual, covering every detail about the route, the history, the locomotives, as well as guides and tips to get you ready for your new journey!

    Watch our Liberec - Stará Paka Preview Livestream
    In case you missed it, join Executive Producer Matt and Community Manager Harry from Dovetail Games, along with Dominik from Vector Simulations, for the Liberec - Stará Paka preview.


    Liberec - Stará Paka Timetable
    In all, you can look forward to 59 services for the Class 843 with a further 44 for the Class 750, based on operations around 2018. Sharing a single-track route, services meet at stations where passing loops reside. Stay on time to keep things running smoothly.

    [​IMG]

    Adding a bit of familiar flavour to the route, the DB BR 642 from Maintalbahn makes an appearance on a handful of services between Turnov and Železný Brod, as well as AI at Liberec! German motive power is certainly no stranger to Czech rails, and in this case, several ex-DB 642s which still retained their red livery for some time regularly ran along the route in 2018.

    [​IMG]

    Situations and Scenarios
    No less than 9 scenarios await to put your newfound skills to the test, from battling unrelenting summers with overheat-prone traction and challenging troubleshooting aboard the Class 843, to complex shunting and storm aftermaths with the Class 750.

    [​IMG]

    Train Sim World 6: Liberec - Stará Paka is out now for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 for *£32.99/€39.99/$44.99, with Epic Games Store, and Steam arriving later today.

    Please note that this Add-on will be released on PC and 9th Gen Console platforms only.

    In the meantime, you can check out some info and facts of the line for yourself on the VlakRegion website.

    Original price on article was incorrect.*

    Still waiting for the manual... Shouldn't it be a standard practice that manuals release a couple days earlier?

    Depends on develop scope. Dominik is writing this up himself, and he mentioned on the livestream last week thatthere's a chance it might not be ready in time. However, we do have a support article that has a bunch of info/page in it. Might be something you're looking for in there.

    After watching part of BA’s stream, feel slightly more confident about getting this.

    However, DTG Harry I do have to ask again why comments in the other threads about passenger behaviour at stations and the likelihood of virtual fatalities has been completely ignored. What are DTG and the developers doing to address this in an ASAP patch, please?

    Just that and the ouch price tag that remain slight yellow flags to supporting this with a Day One purchase.

    This is an ongoing core issue that's still being worked on.

    Okay at least that’s an acknowledgment if not a solution. However it remains a matter of great concern, particularly to those of us who work/have worked in the rail industry and had to deal with this type of incident directly or indirectly for real. One would have hoped the route builders could have planned the passenger pathing at stations slightly better to mimimise the issue.

    From the pteviews it looks like 100km/h or around 60 MPH but most of it seems around 75 or 80 km/h.

    For those who haven't found it, here is the manual!

    Liberec-StaraPaka Manual


    @DTG Harry
    Could you please write the prices correctly in the first post, as this is confusing for users.

    Judging by the up and down d/l speed on Steam, quite a few people must have grabbed this at 6pm!

    Currently predicting 5 hours to download. Usually 9Gb takes about 15 minutes plus install time!

    I was also shocked when I saw on Steam how much you have to pay for it in Switzerland.

    I paid 50 Swiss francs, which is equivalent to 55.28 euros.
    Where will this end?

    Steam pricing is a joke in Switzerland. 50CHF when the PS5 version is only 40 CHF.

    Yep. I just rebooted the PC and restarted Steam and it's still running really slow.

    So off to play SimRail while it slowly chugs along..! :)

    Edit: Looks like Windows Update is running and downloading and has grabbed most of my bandwidth.

    Yes, it costs that much on Steam for PC.
    It's really getting out of hand what Swiss players have to pay for DLCs.

    I could be wrong but is this one of the most, if not the most costly add on I paid $65.00 CAD I hope its worth it.

    Sometimes it's a plus to live in a 3rd world country... Only ~$19 for a new route.

    havent yet played it cos I have yet to get home, but watched some vids on operating 843... just to be clear I understood it right - S is kinda like powering up (like in 612 where you increase percentage of applied power), J holds current power percentage, and V drops it gradually down to zero... then BE is dynamic/electric brake, you can hold it and then release it, and BP is air brakes/pneumatic (does it stay in BE or BP or automatically drops to V once you dont hold it?)

    anyway, will try to find the manual :)

    edit: found it, gonna study it now :D

    I just read the guide myself, and I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions as I get more comfortable. But I won't be able to get to the game until Friday, if not Saturday...

    I watched the preview and a couple other channels, and while I understood some of the driving technique, only after reading the manual I think I really understand it... looks kinda similar to the system the German 612 uses, tho the way J position works is kinda weird... but interesting :)

    in Free roam I might try to couple 750 to some German passenger coaches to kinda simulate some diesel express trains :D

    tho I have a feeling I will be driving 843 more

    A friend of mine simply couldn't get going on 843. Even though he had hundreds of hours of experience in the TSC and TSW. Already looking forward to it.

    Still downloading, though hopefully done in a few minutes.

    In the meantime I have seen a post on FB asserting the braking physics on the 750 are not very good...

    Dropped in what turned out to b a night run with the 750, but yeah baby… This is awesome. My kind of loco, my kind of route. I love the golden light from the headlamps and the sky is not completely pitch black. Going to be spending a lot of time on this. £33 well spent despite my earlier scepticism.

    Still want a 749 though, eh Dominick!

    Lighting in the towns and villages looks good too, awesome man, awesome.

    Well, if that's the case, it's a red flag for me. And the $50 ( with tax ) price ?

    It can wait for a sale. And Raildriver support. Also RD ommissions on GWE-R and Birmingham Crewe. How come this is being missed recently? Makes my blood boil. Who's doing the QA?

    ugh that’s a shame, I was looking forward to buying this but no hardware support, no buy. I can’t go back to using a keyboard.

    Really that should be automatic, and a core feature rather than locomotive specific. Disappointing.

    I have the TSC-X as well, can’t imagine going back from it now. I still haven’t bought the Class 86 for the same reason…

    Hopefully the devs will add this quickly. It’s hard to believe it’s omitted given how well done everything else seems to be.
