I have programmed the simulation here to be as per what the manual for the S286 specifies: to make ZDS120 work with a cab car sandwiched between the locomotives you need to open the breaker LSS SPS/ZWS in the cab car and shut off the battery. After this is done the locomotives should work as normal assuming that you have set them up correctly (i.e. ZDS120 in both locomotives and only one active cab). If you own the Bremen-Oldenburg route, can you test service IC 2132 in the Expert timetable? It is likely that free roam breaks the simulation here unfortunately, so testing that service would confirm if it is a free roam issue rather than that something wasn't patched correctly back in October/November. I will try to debug what the issue is in free roam and see if I can provide workaround steps. AFB in LZB Ende should work prototypically since the October/November patch. The only thing you need to do is to cycle the AFB VSoll lever to 0 km/h and back to whatever speed you want to hold. If you don't do it in the time window AFB will automatically start braking for 0 km/h. If the throttle is applied when LZB goes inactive you will also need to reset it to recover traction.
That was the service where I noticed the issue in the first place. It's the same in free roam vs timetable. I did everything as per BA286 cab car manual, like I wrote in my quoted post. LSS SPS/ZWS off and main battery off and the locos in ZDS120. Additionally I put the Schalter Schlußlicht off because I suppose SSTF is quite similar to TAV, where it needs to be off. Issue persists on timetable (IC 2132 without touching anything just spawning in) and also free roam and should be quite easy to replicate.
Hello Guys i have problem with the Expert 101. When i use the Expert Timetable on all Routes (No Rosenheim Salzburg i dont have testing on this Route) i have a Texture Bug: The Colors of Trains is Slightly pixelated. Show to the vmax/LZB or the UIC. I have no idea how I managed that, I only drive in timetable mode(Expert Timetable) Thank you for help and Sorry for my bad English.
Unfortunately that is a core issue when the texture budget is exceeded. The issue will depend on what route the train is driven on (Frankfurt is especially demanding from my understanding). Nothing we (the BR 101 Expert developers) can do anything about, I'm afraid.
The good news is that it works in the beta build. The bad news is that it worked in the beta build before last patch :/ I will let DTG know.
Right now I’m playing the Expert 101 and I closed all the doors but it says “Unlock Doors” and tried multiple times to confirmed it’s unlocked. Something is going on with this patch update
The brightness of the engine room in BR101 seems unrealistic. The brightness of the engine room is dependent on the time of the day. At day it's bright and at night it's completely dark if the light of the engine room is switched off. But since it's an enclosed space, I guess it should always be dark with doors on each side closed, regardless of the time.
Did some tests yesterday and found a couple bugs I haven't seen on the FAQ's bug list for this DLC: - Indicators on the analog variant aren't working when LZB is active (they're just off, you have to use the fallback screen - Fault simulation is off) - livery designer creations aren't selectable in formation editor - list is empty - livery designer creations are only applicable to the analog variant, creating liveries for the MFD unit is impossible - cab car's front door handles are always red and not paintable with livery editor
On xboxx cab cars wiping effect is desynchronized with wipers movement (Sazlburg route btw) . https://www.xbox.com/play/media/wZWU8p22GS
When starting ic 478 the game spawns you on whatever the last station you left the route on was instead of spawning you on the train.
And when you make it on time to teleport to Frankfurt Hbf and run to and down the entire platform (it's a very long consist ...) the train is in a total messy state. I wasnt able to enable safety systems, was way to late after tackling all the errors. It left me in a pretty grumpy state. I quit the game after that experience (before I tried reloading the service like 20 times and was spawned at different random stations but never in the loco) for the day ;-)
Ugh, that seems to be caused by the left and right wipers not being in sync and I guess the window material is only controlled by one of the wipers. I need to investigate if this is fixable or if the wipers need to be synced up. The latter would be sad because it's a realistic thing about the wipers not being perfectly synced.
A compromise could be to use the right wiper as the dominating one (to remove the water drops). At the moment the water seems to be removed with the movement of the left wiper, which makes it a bit awkward, as you are basically only looking through the right window... I would certainly keep the out of sync movement, tbh!
since launch this loco/DLC has been incorporated into more timetables... what is the total now? I mean, how can you tell that certain route has this fully incorporated, aka not only BR101 but also IC coaches (and cab car) aka whole consist fully expert, not just loco substitution (Kassel Wurzburg has this I think)? In case it is fully expert, I guess it has a separate timetable like "*Route* Expert BR 101 timetable"? P.S.: as for new(er) routes, both Kinzingtalbahn and Ludwigsbahn have Expert 101 timetables aka full consist expert, or just Frankfurt Fulda?
Absolutely loving this pack for the game, the 101 is my favourite German loco to drive. I have one issue with the scenario "Touchdown", i cant seem get past the task of setting the train heating. Doesn't matter how long i hold the switch for it won't register. The train does work and I can depart but i can't even fail to do this task. Has anyone else had this issue? Happened on both my old laptop and now my new PC.
Can't get going! I haven't driven this loco in a long time, and had no problems with it in the past. But now, trying it on the revised Koln-Aachen, I can't get the thing going. Power applies, it starts to roll- and then the motor returns to zero and the brakes come on. If I leave the throttle on, this behavior repeats itself over and over What am I doing wrong? ZDE data entered correctly GSM-R registered Safety systems on (by default, expert mode on) Train line power reset Reverser forward Doors closed Afb on (40 set) brake key unlocked brakes released parking brake released no faults reported by the system Not yet under LZB (starting in Aachen) Green Hs (clear) Power 40% EDIT: solved it, as per above. It takes a big slug of power to overcome the AfB autobrake function
New puzzle though: I have no lights on in the coaches. Yes, train line has been initiated and, yes, train light switch is on (cycling it also has no effect. No faults currently active.
To get the brakes to fully release, you need to apply full throttle until it starts rolling and then back off as you build speed. If I recall correctly, this is prototypical per cwf.green.
this is a new timeline, but I am not sure if this is an EXPERT timeline... if you recall, to get the full trainset simulated on expert (and not just the loco), there usually has to be a separate timetable (like on certain routes you have a regular timetable and then one with Expert 101), tho I am not sure how it is incorporated in this specific new timetable, with it being so massive and all I mean, if the loco is expert and the IC coaches are regular, maybe that could cause an issue? but I have no idea to be honest how the Expert 101 is incorporated here... but I am sure cwf or someone else will jump here at some point and clarify stuff
The KAH Revamp timetable uses the original BR101 DLC and not the BR101 Expert. It has substitution enabled on the IC formations so you can drive it with the BR101 Expert but the coaches will still be original non-Expert. The compatibility is not perfect and it seems as if train lights is one of the things that doesn't work correctly. I'll investigate what causes this issue but any fix will not be in the upcoming patch since that one is already "locked in" and going through QA.
I understand it is not strictly related to the Expert 101 at hand here, but if a look is ever being taken at the passenger lights' function, would it be possible to also finally extend their functioning to the Vectrons on which it doesn't? Please? I guess a minor bug on the FlixTrain one instead is that it often spawns with coaches with them ON but in-cab it spawns in the default OFF, so you have to cycle them once for it to display correctly. P.S. EDIT: ...man okay the situation isn't so simple, it's a big mess. Even the working FT Vectron and HBK Taurus only can turn ON but not OFF the standard IC coaches with the dedicated command. Only what I can assume is the ZS works but then that cuts all power (or would IRL) to them... ...honestly this'd lend itself well to another big sweep across all stock the way Maik did for doors, just not sure anyone'd want to bother with that, considering lights aren't needed for game objectives lol
Yes, the light goes out as it's supposed to, but the scenario instruction won't clear (making the entire scenario undrivable) Has anyone found a solution to this problem? cwf.green DominusEdwardius
