Only one of them - some kind of air conditioning 1 fault, 34Q14 was tripping continually. All fine after doing the CB/short circuit reset.
I can confirm that... I have no clue whats causing this issue.... cwf.green is this a bug or something else?
Hey, I tried the 145 pushing a Wittenberger Cab and unfortunately it doesn't work as the 145 doesn't recognize the Wittenberger. And I have a question: 145 with Nahverkehrspaket an Dostos. Sometimes at around 70 kmh and AFB the Loco kicks in the "direkte Bremse to 0,3 Bar" and I get a traction lock. Is this mentioned anywhere or am I doing something wrong? Regards
Thanks. Was the problem, that i used the quick release too long, or that i used it at all on the freight waggons? The pressure went up to 7.0 Bar quiet fast.
Because i didn't got the brakes to release in the first place. After that it was experementing and i didn't know, if this is expected, when handling the brakes this way.
PC/Steam The Expert. Simply. Delivered. scenario is bugged in the first minute already. After the simplified brake check I'm supposed to enter the train data, but at this stage only the soft keys up to number 5 have prompts. Same goes for most buttons on the right side of the MTD. Oddly enough before I'm asked to enter the train data, I can go into any menu on the MTD and all soft keys have prompts and work. Also the correct train number is already entered, but it can't be acknowledged since the E key doesn't have a prompt. Also localisation isn't fully implemented, most text messages appear in English while my game is set to German. On a German DLC.... So much for Journey Mode....
I know this is an expert loco but can you make more simpler to drive with using just basics. Just want to get a feel for it before I go full expert mode on it . Thanks
I simply disable error simulation when starting the service. Essentially, the only additional steps are to enter train data and configure the GSM-R. In this mode, operating it is quite simple.
Watch out for services that mention needing a brake test on Dresden-Leipzig, otherwise yes it's mostly just a drop-in sub - train number, driver number, GSMR train number, train data for PZB/LZB, and go.
I rode one service with old carriages on the Frankfurt-Fulda route. I thought brake problems only happened with new carriages. However, if you release the brakes at the start of the service without pressing the button for supercharging the brakes to 5.3 bar, then even the old SHIMMNS-TTU where the brake valve levers are not even modeled, the brakes simply will not release. And after applying the brakes while driving, it will release the slowest. Am I doing something wrong? Service EZ 51194 on FTF.
Thanks, I thought I might have missed something, but the two services I visited didn't have that in their description.
Push the "St" soft key on the EBuLa display, it shows you simulation options like resetting faults, activating virtual conductor and so on. There's also an option for disabling the whole fault simulation for you to select.
Can confirm yout experience. Not a single service starting with a SPAD so far. In timetable mode the loco and the consists behave as they should, apart from the right panto selection, but that's a minor thing and also gives the player something to do and watch the panto change sequence, so I don't mind. Also the brake sheet and wagon list are awesome features. (At least) Simplified versions of those two should become a standard feature so players don't have to exit to the menu screen each time they want to check the length of their consist and so on. Train length is just basic data every driver in every country needs to know at any time, countless mods have implemented it to some trains so it can't be hard to add and not sell it as a "big new core feature", but a simple quality of life update to future and current content.
Dude, you need to read the manual. I know you want to just drop in and play but this isn't the type of add-in for that. You need to learn the basics we've mentioned above by reading the manual.
While playing some services in KWG Expert timetable I noticed that the sheets always have the train number "4711". It should be the same number as in the service name (shown when you press T in game). Here is an example with service 43822: This seems to work fine in the Dresden - Leipzig Expert timetable.
Agreed. Those two sheets are incredibly well made and add so much in terms of usefulness and immersion, I'd love to see them added to (all?) other locos. Probably won't be done, but it's nice to have dreams
I'm a little confused about how the PZB mode is calculated. I ran an intermodal service on Leipzig Dresden with the new expert wagons, BRH was 85 and loco and first wagons were brake mode G, the rest of the train in P. Entering the data it put the train in PZB U, which I thought was odd for an intermodal train but whatever. I started a service (50301 I think) on Frankfurt Fulda, also an intermodal train. Same BRH of 85 and G/P brake setup, but this time the train data sheet had a VMax of 120kph written on the bottom and I still got put in PZB mode U. Therefore leaving Fulda LZB allows me 120kph but if you're doing 120 when you reach the end of LZB outside of Fulda and revert to PZB U, you'll be over speeding. Am I doing something wrong? I entered the BRA as 2 each time because the loco is in brake mode G. At what BRH should PZB mode M be active? The only time I've gotten PZB M so far was an auto train on Leipzig Dresden when the entire train was in brake mode P.
For freight trains, Brake Modes P and G are set depending on the Wagon Train Weight, or the type of Brake Sheet. The Wagon Train Weight [t] consists of the combined weight of all wagons and inactive locomotives (if any). - If the Brake Sheet uses the Timetable Class G, the entire consist (Locomotive(s) + wagons) must be set to G Mode. - If the Brake Sheet uses the Timetable Class R/P, set the Brake Mode Selectors to P or G according to the following rules: - If the Wagon Train Weight is lighter than 800t, the entire consist can be set to P mode. - If the Wagon Train Weight is between 801t and 1,200t, then the Active Locomotive(s) must be set to G mode. The rest of the consist can be set to P mode. - If the Wagon Train Weight is between 1,201t and 1,600t the Active Locomotive(s) as well as the first 5 wagons of the consist must set to G mode. The rest of the consist can be set to P mode. - If the Wagon Train Weight is heavier than 1,601t, all locomotives and wagons must be set to G mode. Page 51 of the manual.
I've read the manual and that has nothing to do with what I'm asking. I'm trying to determine if the loco should be putting me in PZB mode U so often, and more so how the train data sheet can say my VMax is 120kph yet I'm in PZB mode U which is a contradiction.
As one else noticed the sifa and acknowledge buttons dont responded when using a controller. Also why sifa going off every 5 seconds
Because you probably used brake mode 2 on ZDE. This would be for the whole train in brake mode “G”. Completely different rules apply then and only then you use mode 2 on ZDE which puts your train automatically in “U”. In case of first Waggons and loco (config is called LL for “Lange Lok”) in “G” you still use mode 4 on the ZDE, as this is still a P/R timetable. I have seen this being done wrong on a number of streams (including Lukas himself). I have already given the feedback to include this info into the manual.
Thank you for confirming this, as the manual explicitly states it is based on the locomotive's brake mode.
I've had a problem with the distributor cut-off valve. For some reason I couldn't open it. This happened with multiple wagon. And I had an another instance where i decoupled the electric brake on the passenger variant and I couldn't reconnect the electric brake to the train brake. I'm playing on ps5. But I'm very impressed with the overall quality of this dlc.
There might be a mistake somewhere. I haven't made many trips, but the lightest train I've ever ridden weighed just over 1,400 tons.
Ahh, yes I was using Brake mode 2 on the ZDE. The note I saw in the manual just said if the loco is in G use 2, so I went with that. I'll have to try it with Brake mode 4.
Wanted to give a feedback to the DLC as well. Have not had alot of time yet, however, after a couple of scenarios and timetable runs I feel confident that I have enough experience to throw in my two cents as well Will not go into findings which I have seen covered elsewhere! I am absolutely in awe about the completely new driving experience, especially talking about the braking behaviour, of the new T3000s. This is really how I have always envisioned it from hearing drivers talk about those DK brake pads. I also cant highlight enough how much I really do like features like manuel coupling, manuel angle cocks etc. Also brake sheet and waggon list I was hoping for and it has certainly exceeded what I would have thought would be possible in TSW (Thanks to William to allow for scope creep during development). I have not even talked about the 145 itself yet, which, (tbh, as expected) delivers on all fronts. As I have been using the Expert 101 extensivly throughout the last year I think I knew that we would be in for a treat. Nothing really to add, except maybe that I am looking forward to getting to know this loco a bit better (Still need to get used to the double tab confirmation proceedure). In regards to the timetable there are a few things I really hope to be improved in the future. I was driving one of the services that requires you to boot up the loco, couple it to a consist and drive somewhere (split into three seperate services). The allowed timing of booting up the loco was challanging (at best, especially for an untrained user...), however, the whole coupling process, until you are supposed to drive off, was only like 6 minutes. It took me 25min to do the full brake test and during all this time the signal showed an Hp2, probably blocking the mainline outside Dresden Hbf. At least I would hope that there is considerable more time between those different parts of these services. This underlines another (in my eyes) shortcoming of what TSW actually allows as triggers to proceed with certain aspects of the timetable. I would really like DTG (as this must be a core issue) to make it possible to use radios (sending a ZVM or similar) and other means to actually tell the signaller that the consist is ready and only then he switches the signal. As a work around, maybe it would be possible for TSG to incorporate a "drive to" waypoint to actually finish a part of these services. In this case it would not simply jump into the next service and switch signals, even though you are still at the beginning of whatever you still need to do. TBH, I wouldnt even mind waiting longer for a green if I have missed my slot. I think especially in fright ops this is quite normal... I am looking forward to many more hours with this DLC. Thank you very much for these Expert locos. They really bring a whole new angle to the sim and the game would not be the same, at least for me!
