Why are the ICE & DB BR 442 talent 2 the only trains in the game with scrolling destination displays? Surely if trains are capable of scrolling destinations, they should be implemented in all trains.
It may be one of the technology tests, and they are looking at data from it, such as performance and how to improve it etc. A bit like dynamic weather on LGV, so i guess that eventually it will be rolled out to all routes, tsw2 and preserved, when they finalise the tech behind it Hope this helps
Yes sure do. The SEHS at least had loads of stops and lasts an hour end to end which I love. I dont play the German ones much nowadays as I prefer British passenger routes.
did you like the sort of high speed part, would you like it there and back not past ebsfleet? Its your decision but if you like British passenger routes i recommend gwe and east coast way, if you have them maybe wait to the Scottish one! Hope this helps
The answer is quite simple actually– there aren't a whole lot of trains irl that displays a list of destinations on-board the train itself. It's much more common to have that done via verbal station announcements or through a PIS monitor at the station (which is seen in the latest route, SEHS). Taking the current routes in TSW into consideration, the only other trains that should be capable of doing these would be the LIRR M7's and the Electrostars, both of which pre-date the current PIS implementations in TSW. They probably could be outfitted with the new PIS tech when the preservation team gets to them, however I do not know how likely this is to occur.
Iirc, they are already working towards implementing PIS on ECW. LIRR might get it soon too as the preservation team are currently working on lots of fixes for it.
However the caveat with this is that I think this refers to the station PIS monitors itself, and not the actual trains, which would be what the OP is referring to. I do hope I'm wrong though, as the details are quite murky at the moment.
In the UK, the PIS displays on the outside of the trains don't usually display anything other than the destination. The exception to this being the WCML Pendolinos which lists the destination and the next station stop on a screen next to the passenger doors. Inside, the newer trains have small overhead displays that do scroll through stations and show next stop etc along with other text like thank you for traveling with x company, no smoking etc.
