    In both the articles we have seen so far, the PIS screens aren't working. The screenshots don't say 'Work In Progress', are PIS screens not included in this route? I really hope they are included.

    Questions for the stream:

    1) will the station PIS be functional?

    2) will trains like the Talent 2 and the DB BR 143 have the line numbers added to their on board PIS? So far it only shows the destination.

    3) which other German locos will be playable with substitution, and will the v60 blue livery show up randomly on Ruhr Sieg Nord, or the red one on Riesa - Dresden vice versa? (if required dlc are owned)

    4) how are the IC services built considering they end head on in Dresden, will they run in sandwich or will there be shunting implemented for that?

    Appreciate it, will be watching the stream this evening to see what is going on with this route, especially after the cut of the branches. Maybe the improved night lighting will make up for it.

    Why does only one loco Appear to have line numbers?

    I think the locos are not the main selling point of this route as they are all recycled ... let's see what the stream will bring later on.

    Will the route have "Ghost Stations" so that the PIS of the Trains will show the correct End Station and Numbers ? S1 Schöna -Meißen Triebischtal, S2 Pirna-Dresden Flughafen, RE50 Dresden Hauptbahnhof-Leipzig Hauptbahnhof

    Every single of your comment is just trolling and not contributing anything constructive to the discussion. Also: the V60 may be reused, but a new livery. Same thing for the Dostos and Container waggons.

    To be fair to them, while the talent 2 itself isn't entirely new, the configuration is, we did not have 3 car units before. I reckon that will still have been alot of work, and the other locos have had some upgrades so we do benefit from it.

    Also if players can use this dlc to get layers on other routes without having MSB for example, that will be a win for them as well
    And after all that, in context of a rush hour bundle, pricing wise even with mostly reused locos it is still a good deal (and to me is more understandable why we don't get entirely new rolling stock).

    Look at me worry about that. So new liviries, wow! That's very interesting, new liviries on reused trains with same bugs and glitches.

    Wasn’t there a 3-car Talent 2 on the Köln-Aachen route (SKA)? Could have sworn when I drove the tutorial the other day it only had 3-cars.

    Looking at the destinations shown in both articles I press a big doubt on this. There are no trains from DD-Hbf ending in Coswig or Riesa, all continue beyond those points.

    It is very interesting actually :) This route was brilliant in TS2021 and I’m very much looking forward to it’s TSW upgrade.

    Outside of the odd sound bug I’ve come across (which have been fixed as of the 4.26 upgrade) I’d say the German content has been pretty solid. I expect this to be no different :)

    Then let's hope that it was still work in progress when they took these photos or that Adam can get his finger on this route quickly

    No, SKA had 4 car variants of the Talent 2. With some services using 2 to form 8 car services.

    I would appreciate it if they first fixed the problems of the game, instead of just continuing to bring the next DLC. There are enough bugs to fix, but so far we hear little about it.

    Question: Is it realistic that the Dostos on the RE lines (here RE 50) have the S Bahn Dresden logo on them?
    It seems unlogic to me but since I dont live there, I dont know

    That's not necessarily the case, since one of the marketing rationales behind Rush Hour is to attract new players - players who don't have a collection of DLC, nothing German except the two trains from SKA.

    I don't disagree. One reason Dresden (after it was truncated) is on my wait-for-the-sale list is because it comes with no rolling stock I don't already own.

    "instead of continuing to bring out the next DLC" - DTG need to pay their staff.
    "so far we hear little about it" - apart from the Roadmap?

    Hey folks - if you have questions for the streams this week, we've set up a thread to keep them all in one place :)

    We'll try to answer as many as we can (added in a section to talk about PIS already).

    I was under the impression that this DLC was for a route. And a cheap one at that if you buy the Season Ticket.

    This is a short list of things I would like to see/hear in the steam later today:

    1. A short segment showing the line numbers working on the BR 146.2 across different services as well as on other trains if that functionality has been brought to those aswell. If it hasn't, a short explenation as to why not would be nice.

    2. An explanation for how the line numbers can now be shown on the latest version of the PIS where the destination can be set by the player. Does it use a similar system as on the BR 406 or is it completely new?

    3. A short segment where the platform departure boards are shown, provided they are functional in this build. One thing of interest in particular is if the off-map intermediate stations tech developed by the Preservation Crew for East Coastway and Rapid Transit has been implemented on this route. Again, if this is not the case, we would appreciate an explenation.

    The ICE is Just a Layer from Köln-Aachen. Not a Train that comes with the Route.

    Let me summarize... when I understand correctly...

    These Locos are drivable:
    DB BR 442 (Incl. in this Route)
    DB BR 143 (Incl. in this Route)
    DB BR 146.2 (Incl. in this Route)
    DB BR 363 (Incl. in this Route)
    MRCE BR 185.5 (Incl. in this Route)
    DB BR 406 (If you own Cologne - Aachen)
    DB BR 101 (If you own the Standalone DLC)

    Iam right?
    For me its look like this is the largest amount of vehicles ever published for a route in Train Sim World 2
    (I know, many - or all - are reused) but you will see much more different Traffic on this Route..

    Reminds me on the good old Microsoft Train Simulator Times, where you ever get these amount of vehicles.
    Absolute Brilliant, Dovetailgames :D

    Yes, you are.

    There might also be some substitution for additional locos, but nothing confirmed yet.

    I'm a big fan of how they're layering DLCs. Anything that gives me more value for money is a hugely welcome addition.

    Question for the Stream, is there anything new about the Br146.2 and the dostos on the route and why do the trains in the screenshot only show the destination where they go but not the line number?

    Is there a way to potentially script the loco numbers so they're correct for the area? The 143 fleet currently based at Dresden is available from br143.de, same with the 146.2s that are based there atm (205/206/212/213/225/226).

    I wonder why aren't the locos built modular, so the same loco doesn't need to be "upgraded" again and again on different routes?
