    1. What has this question to do with the topic of this thread?

    2. What random crashing? Frankfurt never crashed for me.

    I'm a little confused as to why they are using the DB Vectron and not the Railpool, which would be less jarring outside of Germany

    The DB Vectron is very common in the Netherlands, every day I see one in Utrecht.

    The railpool vectron that we have in game is not allowed to drive in the Netherlands. It doesn’t have the NL package which the DB one does have

    When I do a service on this route whilst pulling into Frankfurt my game (PS5) crashes on me. I drove the Vectron too.

    Just because you don’t get random crashes it doesn’t mean other players don’t.

    Okay, I'll admit I hadn't checked the side markings before annoyingly demanding DTG implement the changes to that one too. I'm dumb, sorry.
    In hindsight though now I'm kind of sad I created a MIR livery for the RP one before having the DB.

    Why would that be less jarring?

    As a further notice, with the TSW3-LiveryManager software it is possible to extract a livery made for, for example, the RAILPOOL Vectron, and use it on, for example, the DB Vectron after editing just a couple of the lines of its structure.

    You'll have better luck if you break down all layer groups in the pre-transfer livery in the livery editor before doing so, I've observed.

    Just thought I'd mention this for all the people who, like me, are (now were :p) bummed they couldn't use their favourite RP Vectron custom livery with ATB and other advanced features soon with this update. I had a DAI MRCE Mercitalia Rail livery for the RP Vectron and now in a few minutes of edits I have a DACHINL BEACON Mercitalia Rail one for the DB one, soon with ATB =p.

    I'd love to learn which lines to edit- I have a lot of LD liveries for older versions of things like the 101 I'd love to see on newer routes

    It's really easy, just search for the string that matches with the currently used vehicle, one is towards the beginning (usually already visible in the few lines that display if you open the editor fullscreen) and one towards the very end of the file, as inbetween them the majority of the file is just a bunch of layer definitions. I think the second one contains "Model" but I don't have the files here with me at the moment.

    OK. So, we have received the long-awaited update for Vectron DB.

    upload_2025-4-11_10-16-23.png

    I had no trouble changing the contact network type to Dutch. But with the Dutch voice acting, I still didn't understand where it should appear? There is also a new screen of unknown purpose...

    For me, it's still strange that developers are limited to a dry list of changes, instead of an available manual on new features...

    By the way, after a short poke, you can find a change of voice acting (which sounds extremely unusual).

    Can anyone get the safety system extra AP rewarded now on German routes for the DB Vectron? Both Frankfurt Fulda and Dresden Reisa Im only getting the base AP rewarded even with SIFA & PZB turned on since the update? Am I doing something wrong?

    It's bugged, for the moment use the RP Vectron. "The moment" being anywhere from next update to TSW9+, given the frequency of bugfixes in this game.

    When using the AFB when the ATB is activated, I can’t confirm the speed limit with my controller I have to click on the lever. But it works fine under PZB/LZB for exemple.

    That's the Italian safety system!
    I haven't played TSW since the last update so I haven't seen the change yet, but maybe they're updated the cab to all the safety system it have IRL so you can now see also the SCMT inside
