    Hello,

    Please could you make manuals available for all the Routes and Rolling Stock?

    It would be very useful for everyone.

    Would be nice to have manuals but providing the least for the mo$t is a trend that's been on the rise for a while...and not just at DTG. Established companies with a reputation to uphold that produce actual physical products sometimes still provide paper manuals and user guides but even in this realm many now just provide basic info sheets and expect their customers to go online if they need more comprehensive information.

    I've downloaded all the available TSW manuals, official and unofficial, for the routes and vehicles I own and keep them together on my tablet for handy reference. It's much more convenient than having to search forums or YT videos when you can't remember a loco setting or that crucial bit of info you need.

    Comprehensive manuals covering, for example, signalling basics in the different countries and PZB/LZB on the German routes would be really handy but I doubt that will ever happen. Back when you'd buy software and games in a box at a store they came with lots of documentation but those days are over. Even PDF manuals are fast becoming a relic of the past.

    There are some very good unofficial manuals and information compilations for TSW and TSW2 available if you look around. I haven't yet seen any for TSW3 but it is quite new and with the exception of new vehicles basic operations remain the same as in previous versions.

    There is, in fact, a lot of documentation in the various TSW manuals. For example, German signals, SIFA and PZB are very well explained in the TSW2020 manual or various German route manuals (RRO, MSB, HRR, RSN).
    As far as I know, there's no manual covering LZB. There's a training mission in TSW3 for the SKW route, and that's about it.
