Route Liberec - Stará Paka Feedback Thread

Havn't noticed the button yet, but you can see something similar happening with the stuff inside the breaker cabinet.

 

first ride with 843 successfully done... so... the controls are a little bit to get used to, but overall, super enjoyable ride... cos of the speed changes, gradients, radio channel changes, constant vigilance, nice scenery, tons of twists and turns... very engaging... even got a couple times when I was adding power too fast and it just tripped

oh, I almost forgot - it has got the chill of Niddertalbahn, but the overall lengths of services are nice bit of riding, and I had done only a R service, will try Os services next

havent done any 750, but since I am more into passenger stuff, will probably take a couple days till I get to that one

 

You are not supposed to use the high-pressure whip / "quick release" for more than fraction of a second. To recover, drain the pipe completely through emergency brake, then head into the machine room and in the opposite (non-through) corridor, open the middle of three red valves until you hear all the air leave the system.

Is it just my personal feeling, or is the map overexposed during the day, so-called overexposed?

 

I might have had a similar issue, however without cruise control. Still it might be the same issue, so worth a try.

For me it was related to the safety system (LS90), specifically activating it incorrectly.
I was able to fix it by deactivating it and then correctly activating it again.
To activate first turn the switch into the "Start" position. Wait a moment until the small light next to it turns green and only then turn it into the "On" position.
I also did this after activating the master key, setting the reverse to forward and the brakes to "cut-in" (I'm not sure if activating LS90 after these is strictly required).

 

Is anyone else having difficulty with the brakes? Even if brakes are released and pressure is on 5 bar, on gentle downhill I still need to use step 3 of the power to even keep the speed.

Is there a parking brake I am missing to release, as I was susceptible of forgetting to release that in the 294 which spawns with it on.

Also doing Mn62402 - Part 1, and I am stuck with the last instruction, with a "Blue" Red signal, and the message "Train is already in section" on requesting approval from the signaller. An 843 came and went and I am still waiting for the signal for more than 10 minutes. It was supposed to be a 22 min timetable run so something is definitely off. Now I have deleted every other train I could see around and it still didnt unlock.

Sadly it seems like unless one drives like a maniac, the timings mess with the signaller and deadlock things.

LE: what I found by forcing the signal. I can pass the "Blue" but the path is set incorrectly, still routing me into the sidings with the oil tanker dropoff, instead of the main line. Then I get a message of signal passed on danger for something invisible in that section.

I wonder if I managed to stop on the points, clearing the objective but the dispatcher was unable to set a path and freaked out. Sadly I don't have the mental capacity to try the entire service from the start to confirm, already had to retry it 2 times for running a red when reversing and being too close to the signal.

 

That's general TOD4 lighting on PS5.
Most daytime conditions look like a nuclear blast. Dusk and dawn conditions in TOD4 look very well though.

 

It seems to me that it is more noticeable on this map ... we tried driving with Desiro and it is not possible, the dashboard is completely burnt white ... that is not the case on the Maintahlbahn, I tried to compare it

and Preston - Carlisle, I don't have such feelings there at all

 

WTF is happening when you try to brake in the snow? You just can’t get this thing to brake normally… The 843 brakes perfectly fine without snow, but in snow it behaves completely bizarre. I guess there’s something wrong with this train. The adhesion is totally buggy and I’ve never experienced any other train in TSW behaving like this.
Just to be clear: a train does not behave any differently in snow than it does in rain. That’s really a misconception. It’s not like a car that starts sliding on snow and ice.

I have the feeling they set it up with diffrent behaviour on snow then in rainy conditions.

The problem is that adhesion is extremely difficult to simulate in a game, and honestly it’s better to use it only sparingly. The point is: you don’t feel what the train is doing you’re sitting in an office chair, not in a real cab so you completely miss the physical feedback that tells you how the wheels are gripping. In all other trains in TSW I’ve never experienced anything this negative, and I’m very experienced. But the way it’s implemented on the 843 right now is just not acceptable, so please fix this ASAP

 

One of the rares most annoying flaws I found with this DLC is the FPS drop in certain areas, and even though I play locked at 30 FPS, I sometimes drop to 20/15.

 

A Bit Of Shunting - Part 1
Generate Braking Report Issue
Hello.
This scene is almost complete, but why is the final report generated hundreds of meters underground instead of inside the locomotive's cab? Could this be fixed?

 

Seen some reports on FB regarding this. Make sure the brake handle is in release not Neutral. I’m currently running downhill and the train is accelerating without power even on a 1 in 300/0.3% downhill.

 

Try pressing "brake cylinder release" on the control desk when the brakes are "stuck" like that. It's #24 in the manual. It has worked for me so far.

Not sure what triggers the stickiness though- overcharging maybe?

 

Thought I’d pop this in here as potentially positive feedback.

Might just be my imagination but could this be the first TSW route to have “clatter/rumble” going across rail over road etc. bridges as well as the reverb for over bridges and tunnels? I’m convinced I’m hearing something.

 

No, just hovering on there spot, in the Eletric-Cabinet on rearwall are a few round buttons below. Maybe it's only one model that has this issue. I will check it very soon.

 

It's absolutely there! Sounds better on the 843 than the 750 imo but both are good.

Also, the odometer in the 750 works (not sure if accurate but still a neat detail)!

 

Loving this route more and more as i play, which is rare for me. Here's a few pics from an early morning (0558 iirc) R14 service from Liberec-Stara Paka using today's date. The 843 is so fun to drive!

 

In a future update, could Fast Travel be available for all stations please?

 

Conductor mode: After few stops with tutorial, which work well (1. blow whistle, 2. doors close), the driver closes the doors automatically before whistle and I am not able to board the train. (He then waits for the whistle to depart.)

Probably global issue, tested on the first morning service R from Liberec at 4:00.

Can anyone finish the scenario Can you fix it? I would say that there is a similar problem as in the scenario with the brake report .........
