Dovetail Games Bahnstrecke Dresden - Leipzig Q & A Thread

My question is if you‘re able to transfer the Dresden Riesa route to TSW6?

 

you get the route if you obtain Dresden-Leipzig in any way. reading articles helps.

 

The system needs to be flexible enough to recognise both sets of circumstances but (sadly) I just don’t think DTG are that clever to make it work.

 

So my question is not nessecarily directed at just the German route and layers, but more general.

On the FAQ Page it states now under the section Early Access:

What will be available during Early Access?
You will have access to everything included in your chosen bundle (Deluxe/Special Edition). Steam players will also be able to download their compatible content during this time. However, other platforms will have to wait till the full release date to download their compatible content.​

But down in the section Compatible Content:

When will compatible content be available to download?
Platforms Xbox PlayStation Steam Epic
Download Date 30th September 2025 30th September 2025 30th September 2025 30th September 2025​

I've previously asked on the Direct Q&A about compatible content-availability at early access launch since DRA would be considered compatible content (at least at that time) and got answered that it will be the 30th, just like it states in the lower section of the FAQ page.

However, I'm on Steam and I've just had time to read more of the FAQ page and got to the upper info regarding Steam. Yet the table in the Compatible Content Section contradicts that info.

Could you please confirm what info of the two is vaild?

I've planned my vacation around those two dates since I've got a slow internet connection and might need just a night to download the base game with core routes but will probably take 2 days to download all compatible content I've aquired previously and would rather sit in my office on those two days since I won't be able to use my laptop for anything else during the download of the back catalogue.

 

with the xbox series X which is a gen 9 console will it be able to have all layers on the Dresden - Leipzig route or will it like the frankfurt S-Bahn route with a reduced timetabe to help with performance if this is going to be an ongoing problem will there be routes for tsw 6 just for pc if even the gen 9 console have to have an reduced timetable will this be a problem for future routes and DLC's

 

I
It's like last year, if you get a bundle that includes early access on steam you'll have access to all your compatible content at the start of early access.

 

So in terms of any possible changes to the 146, it seems we have answer already, same old same old.
I'm going to be honest, it's extremely disappointing to not have a single piece of new stock included in the route. But then, you would at least expect every piece of stock to be updated to a point where it matches the current standard. Mind you, this completely fake screen has been in the game on the 185 and 146 since RSN and MSB. Except it has already been replaced with the correct GSM-R on the 185 ever since Dresden-Chemnitz, and the 185 has had new sounds and physics since Kassel-Würzburg. This definitely would have been a good time to implement similar changes on the 146.

 

Will there be guarding on the Leipzig-Dresden route? If so, will it only be on the ICE services or on the Dostos and Talents as well?

 

I wonder how the temporary speed restrictions are signalled. Do they use the Lf 1, 2 and 3 Signals?

 

In the route article yesterday, you wrote, that thef ICE 1 will layer in that route. In the stream today there was the ICE-T available only. Does tis mean, that the ICE 1 has AI service only.

 

Will the Kinzigtalbahn Version of the ICE-T will layer in that route too?

 

What are the route tasks and are there more than dresden risa or is there are a new set for this route

 

You said something about new ICE T sounds in the direct, but I didn't notice any difference in the stream, and after multiple requests, I didn't get an answer.

 

You talked about performance improvements in the stream. Does this mean, that there is a possibility to get the full timetable on S-Bahn-Frankfurt for PS5 and Xbox Series X?

 

so, are there any changes to the DRA part of DLG? The street guard rails are still the wrong way around, so it does not seem like it ...
So not too much effort for the route, 0 effort for the rolling stock. Is there a hidden camera somewhere, because it feels like a joke. Sorry.

 

At first I saw this new little branch near Dresden. And it seemed very nice. But then they showed the new LZB section and all the niceness evaporated. It looked terribly boring.

 

They tend to run Frankfurt - Berlin services, so you'll only see them at Leipzig

 

Classic DTG as always, lazy work for expensive money

 

Hi dtg_jan enjoyed the preview stream overall, good job and thank you to yourself, Matt and Lukas.

Just one thing I'd liked to have seen though, specifically a list of how many services each train has for the route. Thus, would there be any chance you could provide such a list? For instance, I'm interested in how many services with the 218, 642 and so on...

 

Can someone explain the logic of a route that's been extended but has less services than its original route?

 

What do you mean?! The new route shows 734 playable services, DRA only shows 477 playable services (at least for me)?!

 

In my opinion, the Dresden–Leipzig stream was an insult.
Nothing has been improved in the old part of Dresden–Riesa; the old overhead lines are still there, while the new part has new overhead lines.

And the best part was that the ICE was stopped at a red signal in Dresden because loads of trains weren't moving, even though the train had a green signal.

And in 14 days, TSW6 will be released, and you couldn't show these new features in the stream either, because they don't even work yet.

How is the dispatcher supposed to cope when the new features are activated if he can't even manage it when they are deactivated?

For me, this route is simply not what one would have expected.
Once again, the motto here is ‘little work, lots of money.
