Upcoming Release Db Br 145 Expert - Coming Soon!

Release on a Friday.... Interesting!!! Glad to hear it will come next week.

 

Instead of being in such a rush, you could have waited until the (eventual) suspension tuning had been done, instead of having to wait for a patch...
I'll wait patiently for good news.

 

Sorry ik think this is way to dramatic.... And 35,99€ is a fair price. Missing Suspension is not the end of the world.

 

Given how complex and feature-rich the loco is missing suspension is not really a problem for me and I think they gave a fair explanation as to why it isn't coming tbh. I'd rather have the advanced physics and no suspension than the other way around

 

Can anyone confirm if the auto coupling accessibility feature works on this expert pack? As that will be the deciding factor for me on if I purchase. There is zero way I would be able to couple up manually using a mouse

 

So it'll release just a mere day later than in the leaked post. I can live with that and am positively surprised I'll be able to drive it in exactly one week from today already.

Also glad the pricing is where it is, that way I won't have to spend more money than I've allocated for DLC this month (Liberec - Stara Paka also being a day one and I've treated myself to a physical model this month on top of that).

I'm already sold, but am still looking forward to tonight's German preview stream. I have a feeling it's gonna be wild

 

Not the end of the world but no-buy for me personally until it's fixed.

A premium price loco missing basic TSW4 features just isn't good enough value imo.

 

If im right the loco has suspension the wagons doesnt have it. But hey you sit not in a wagon but in the loco.

 

You're not correct. No suspension in the loco either at launch.

 

Okay not a big deal anyway....

 

For me, yes.
Everyone has their own tastes.

 

with the new expert timetable did we have the 101 expert with ?

 

Werden die Bremszettel als Update auch für das bestehende Expert-DLC (BR 101 einschl. IC-Steuerwagen) kommen?
Will the Bremszettel also be included as an update for the existing Expert DLC (BR 101 including IC cab car)?

 

I can't wait; this is going to be a lot of fun!

 

Yes, the Br101 Expert is finally included

 

I would add to this that TSG has a very good track record on delivering on promises with their expert DLC. Hence their word is good enough for me to believe them (and I am fully aware that they are dependent on DTGs release schedule). In addition, fully agree with what was said, the other features outweigh the missing suspension for me. I am happy we don’t have to wait even longer…

But everyone has different priorities and I fully respect anyone’s decision to not buy till TSG has actually delivered its promised features .

 

Next week is absolutely fantastic. There are so many exciting and anticipated releases for me.

 

I'd better save money for RE Requiem and FH6, then I can take all this at a discount))

 

Looking forward to what will now be the most detailed train to date.

 

Hi dtg_jan

Will there be another major update next week for all the routes where the DB BR145 Expert runs?
Because cwf.green wrote that the DB BR145 Expert will run on the following routes.

- Local transport Dresden
- Ludwigsbahn: Mannheim - Kaiserslautern
- Tharandter Rampe: Dresden - Chemnitz
- High-speed line: Kassel - Würzburg
- Frankfurt - Fulda: Kinzigtalbahn
- Bremen - Oldenburg railway line
- Cologne high-speed line
- Salzburg - Rosenheim railway line
- Frankfurt S-Bahn: S1, S8 & S9
- Main line Hamburg - Lübeck
- Main line Munich - Augsburg
- Main line Rhine - Ruhr
- Main-Spessart Railway
- Rhine-Ruhr East
- Ruhr-Sieg North

Therefore, I believe that an update is required for these routes, or am I mistaken?

 

Did anyone noticed this are the Standard Dostos not the VVO Dostos, or am I stupid

 

So after tonight's stream that just ended, it was announced that it will release on Steam at 10 am German time instead of 8 pm. My best guess is it's related to a friday realese instead of tuesday or thursday like usual.

Also, people watch the stream, it was wild and more details on the waggons and their gameplay functions were showcased. For anyone who's interested in that.

 

I seem to remember that when the BR 145 was in service on the S-Bahn Dresden not all cars had the VVO branding back then.

Also it's pulling the RE50 in the screenshot, Leipzig isn't part of the VVO and I remember the RE50 as being composed of former DR UIC X cars at the time the BR 145 worked S-Bahn services in that area. So needn't be that this particular line is composed of VVO branded stock.
Could be wrong on the current situation, I visit Dresden only once a year for the steam festival and don't spend much time focussing on the regular trains at the Hauptbahnhof.

 

The BR145 Expert released on March 13.... For steam users there is small surprise... It will release at 10am UTC. So thats unexpected i guess

@jesper2805
Puddington Bear already wrote that above you.

 

That will be 10 a.m., and for Europe Germany it will be 11 a.m. That’s the usual official update time for TSW. A 9 a.m. UTC release is not something you should expect.

 

With the Expert 101 my favourite DLC, I'm really excited for the 145.

However, the only real frustration for me is that Leipzig-Dresden is a route that suffers from very frequent blurry textures on console, which will affect the gameplay experience significantly. So, I might hold on for now until hopefully the texture issue gets finally sorted for this route, which is a shame.

 

Though you can use the 145 in timetable mode on a looot of other routes as well per substitution.

 

@cloudyskies21

You can drive the BR145 Expert on the following routes in the timetable.

- Dresden local transport
- Ludwigsbahn: Mannheim - Kaiserslautern
- Tharandter Rampe: Dresden - Chemnitz
- High-speed line: Kassel - Würzburg
- Frankfurt - Fulda: Kinzigtalbahn
- Bremen - Oldenburg railway line
- Cologne high-speed line
- Salzburg - Rosenheim railway line
- Frankfurt S-Bahn: S1, S8 & S9
- Main line Hamburg - Lübeck
- Main line Munich - Augsburg
- Main line Rhine - Ruhr
- Main-Spessart Railway
- Rhine-Ruhr East
- Ruhr-Sieg North

 

They could have released it on Thursday, March 12th at 5 AM, and then enriched it with 2-3 patches in the following weeks...

 

Yeah, finally a new expert loco! This should become standard in TSW

 

Expert freight driving incoming!!

 

Typical preview stream....

"we have identified a number of issues with this DLC"......

Thanks For Your Money!

 

I agree but I think today is the roadmap update and I am confident that we may get the first update on the subject of blurry textures this month.

 

I probably wont play this much, but I will buy it anyway to support the marvellous work TSG are doing

 

Much appreciated Emmy_MAN , it's great there's so much gameplay for it. However, a majority of the later routes listed still blur very frequently. So, I'd rather wait for now to see if DTG can finally solve blurred textures considerably as it's so frustrating as a console player right now - otherwise this would've been a day-one purchase without doubt.

 

no TSG purchse for me, until they fix a forever CTD on garnichpartenkirechen route (xbox) . Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Howgh.

 

Is that still crashing i bought it when it come out. It kept crashing and they said they was gonna sort. That was ages ago and still crashing is it.

 

No chance to finish 50min+ tour... still

 

Thats just so bad I really want to start enjoying that route looks like its not happing for while.

 

Yeah thats what you get when you play on a console at the moment. This is not really TSG His fault but how the engine is. TSW is problematic on consoles. So only advice i can give switch to a PC..... I know not the answer you like to hear but thats the reality now. Innsbruck Garmisch Partenkirchen is very cpu demanding due to the foliage and how detailed this route is. On PC its so good to drive and the views are amazing. Consoles are weak in CPU Performance so i guess this will take a substantial period of time to fix this whole problem or it will never been (fully) fixed im afraid

 

Question for you then if I start to play on my home computer and not my xbox will I have re purchase everything again.

 

Yes you need to buy them again its not crossplatform TSW

 

yes. you will have to buy the content again to play on a different platform.

 

So even if you go from xbox console to xbox pc.

 

I thought cross-platform Xbox games were also available on PC? PlayStation, however, will definitely not be available.

 

Thats what I thought as well

 

Just launch it from the Xbox launcher or whatever it's called. Sometimes you forget there's anything other than Steam on PC.

 

From what I’ve heard, it should work if you install the Xbox version on your PC, and you’ll then be able to continue using the DLCs you’ve purchased.

As for the Xbox version on PC, it’s possible that not all the mods available for PC will work on it.

However, there is another solution for the Steam version as well. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a private message.
