    I was just asking, not demanding anything.

    Thanks for saying this! Didnt know this was the way the sheet worked. Pretty sure the train was in the >1200t region, though. Ill recheck this, however, if so, it should be LL configured (first waggons plus loco in "G").

    Small Spelling Mistake in the PIS Code 1005

    It should be called S2 Pirna

    (Edit) Platform: Series X

    Expectations and requirements aren’t far apart! I think you understand very well what I mean.

    A quick request. Is it possible to change the logic for activating the emergency brake? With a gamepad, you just point at it and press confirm to activate it.You can do it like with the windshield wipers, where you don't just aim them, but also use the left stick to select the desired wiper mode. The same goes for the valve. I don't think that's the kind of thing that They're used constantly, and it takes an extra half-second to activate. It's very easy to miss when you want to operate the windshield wipers.

    Good morning folks,

    Thank you for all of your feedback so far. I'm currently catching up, noting down all of your reports.
    Can I please ask that, whenever you leave feedback or report a bug, that you also always mention your platform (PC, PlayStation or Xbox) and, if possible, add a screenshot?
    The more information you provide, the easier and quicker it is for us to follow up on any reports.
    Also just a quick reminder to please only post feedback/bug reports in here and to keep the general discussion in the appropriate threads.

    Thank you,
    Jan

    @dtg_jan

    That’s exactly the problem, Jan.
    As I wrote to you, many users think the feedback thread is only there for giving feedback, and that you can’t report bugs there.

    That’s why I wrote to you that it shouldn’t actually be called ‘Feedback’, but rather ‘Feedback/Bug’, just as you’ve just written!

    Very nice work of u guys great experience.
    My only question is, is it coming to frankfurt fulda as nahverkehr dienst like re 50 or rb51
    Only problem i have when driving nahverkehr on dresden is when im driving with the cab car dosto, i sometimes get the asg fault where u have to "quitier" 2 times with ur "fahrschalter". Its not possible to "quitier" from the cab car so u have to walk back to the loco. Is this how it should be?

    I have absolutely no idea what causes this. However, as I have never seen it before, could it be linked to the expert TT?! But I am sure it has not taken me 19.316 hours to complete this service (I think):cool:

    For referenec, it was EC174. I have actually started with the shunting move before hand and stayed in the game to take over the service to Röderau.

    Agree. In fact I would go so far as to suggest actual sell a separate standard version alongside the Pro one, at the regular price. I mean, with the 101 you have a choice whether to use the original version or buy the Pro version, but that doesn’t exist for the 145.

    Nope. It's no wonder a lot of people don't bother with development. This add-on is not for you if you don't want the features - don't buy it. Stop trying to get things dumbed down and ruin it for the rest of us who really want this expert level of add-on.

    Us idiots actually would like the loco but not an expert version. So that way we still enjoy a new loco and the wagons it comes with but not have to melt ours brains figuring everything out.

    The desk light does not illuminate the sheets in the NV and RHB models of the Br 145.
    The Cargo DB (red) version is OK and illuminates the sheets as expected.

    And at a more pocket friendly price.

    No different to what Just Flight did with their F-Lite range for FS9/FSX a while back. You get a solid model, sound and physics but it is easier to control and fly for those who just want to have the FMC fly the default flight plan, not worry about cross feed and balancing the fuel tanks, etc. etc.

    Isn’t the above exactly why there’s a toggle for non expert mode?

    Not sure how it’s implemented with the 145, but the first couple of trips I did with the 101, with that setting set to off, it was like any other TSW loco (just more feature rich & better built).

    If this is more just an argument for lower cost versions, then it’s a mute point on that option obviously.

    I tried on non expert mode and it made no difference.

    Yes that was my feedback, offer a more basic lower cost version alongside the expert model, for those on a budget or who don't want to pay for features they won't use - but still want to drive the loco in game.

    On the new timetable for Dresden-Leipzig:
    Service DGS 75932 Dresden Friedrichstadt to Hamburg Dradenau (part 3), you get routed onto Leipzig Engelsdorf Gbf 5, which does not have OHLE.

    Edit: platform Steam

    You know you can’t change the setting mid-gameplay? You need to restart the service/scenario after changing the setting.
