A very big thank you for the quick reply! The only thing i was doing wrong was putting the reverser in NEUTRAL position instead of the OFF position. The locomotive is absolutely a masterpiece! again thank you . Αnd slow gear gives a big acceleration boost especially in starting the train and generally low speeds. at higher speeds the faster acceleration diminishes as it should!
The 218 itself has disappeared from the 218 Maintalbahn timetable. Layer reads as not owned even though I have it installed and none appear as AI. This is on PS5.
More like a suggestion than actual feedback, but... The E94 and some of the newer freight cars have got this neat little feature, to be able to climb below the buffer for accessing the coupling: This would be a neat thing to have on the 218s as well! I rather enjoy it, adds quite a bunch of immersion and makes coupling/decoupling procedures feel more real
Yes, I love this new feature too Of course, it had to come from TSG, which is the developer that always cares the most about innovating and implementing new and ingenious things.
That's not really a new feature. It's there since years. I might have forgotten to activate it for the 218. I will check that.
The Class 20 was the first one I did it on, which was a result of during the Class 31 preview stream the streamer fell between the buffers on the wagons and got trapped, so after that I always try and provide a way out! That and so you don't have to walk around the entire train just to go to the other side (and in some cases it allows you to more easily uncouple/couple).
