Dear Dovetail Games Team, I hope this message finds you well. I would like to suggest the inclusion of the Siemens Desiro ML (Main Line) in one of your future Train Sim World 5 releases. This modern electric multiple unit is widely used across several European countries and could add both operational variety and visual appeal to your already impressive collection of rolling stock. About the Siemens Desiro ML: Manufacturer: Siemens Mobility Family: Desiro Type: Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) First Introduced: Early 2010s Operators: Widely used in the "Vorarlberger S-Bahn" (Drives the S1, Bludenz - Lindau and Several other services) Top Speed: 160km/h (?) Variants: 3-car and 4-car formations, adaptable for regional, S-Bahn, and even airport express services Key Features: Modern Interior Design: Equipped with comfortable seating, dynamic passenger information systems, and large windows Performance: Fast acceleration and braking capabilities, ideal for stop-and-go commuter services Design: Sleek, modular build with a characteristic rounded front, making it visually distinctive Accessibility: Low-floor entry for barrier-free access Operational Versatility: Used on urban, regional, and interurban services across diverse rail networks The Desiro ML would be a fantastic addition to routes that simulate modern European rail services, especially in urban and regional contexts. Its widespread use and popularity make it a great candidate for fans of modern traction. Thank you for continuing to develop and enhance such an immersive railway simulation experience. I hope you'll consider this suggestion for a future release. Best regards, Zwiebelbomber!
would definitely love this as it is the quintessential/core EMU for regional traffic in Austria, especially Vienna area... it is capable of running S-Bahn, regional lines, and it even runs a couple special services called CityJet Express, which is a hybrid of S-Bahn/regio and intercity - like CJX5 that runs more stops within Vienna and then uses highspeed line to St. Polten and beyond... or CJX9 from Wien via Wiener Neustadt to Payerbach-Reichenau (which we got in-game, run unrealistically by 4024s) it also has a neat feature that when you get throttle to minimal (not zero/idle), it locks whatever speed it is going and maintains it, which is super convenient... it has a couple different variants, 4744, 4746 and 4748, which as far as I know differ mostly by number of doors and some interior stuff... also Gysev Desiros are slightly different inside than OBB CityJet (more foldable tables for example) would be a dream come true for me if DTG did Wien Stammstrecke and whatever route stems from it, especially sth to St. Polten or Wiener Neustadt (or the whole route to Bratislava-Petržalka maybe lol)
just a bit to add - if DTG wait long enough with these, it would maybe be better to do Mireo units... their traction motors sound essentially the same, as well as the max speed, just their front face looks angrier ... and IRL it has better power consumption and other nice features, and is essentially an upgrade on Desiro ML a render, since these havent been delivered yet: also a proposed livery for RailJet M livery/trains that will most probably be using Mireo units (essentially sth like CJX or Interregio):
