Because I encountered it again just now, wanted to mention the still bugged distant signal at Boppard. I know it's not a timetable issue but rather a route issue, but wanted to bring it to attention again anyway. Situation: Approachin Boppard from the north, heading to platform 3. Distant signal shows "expect slow", one green and one amber. Entrance signal shows "slow" and a white "3" for 30 km/h limit. Thus, the 500Hz magnet is hot. If you don't expect that and slow down only to about 80 km/h, you'll get zwangsbremsed. This can be repeated on any services which goes from Koblenz to Boppard and uses platform 3 there, on both timetables. The speed restriction is valid, because the entrance switches for platform 3 are 40 km/h max only. But the restriction should be announced beforehand. Easy solution: Have the distant signal display an amber "3" in the box it already has, signalling "expect 30 km/h".
This may very well be true to real life, though. I am not familiar with the real situation in Boppard, but you will often find no Zs3v on the distant signal and it comes down to route knowledge, especially within a station and especially if a Hp2 always means the same thing. In Boppard I am not sure if the 30 (in real life) has to do with the switches or with the short entry, as I believe you can actually place two trains on platform 3. EDIT: I think I remember now what you mean... I believe there is a Zs3v installed at the distant signal, right? In this case I agree with you, of course, it is a bug...
Fair point, makes sense Yes, there is one, but it's dark. Edit: Almost forgot something else. Another minor thing, but... Service 7529 (with the n-Wagen cab car) from Koblenz to Worms, the one with the two additional Umbauwagen at the rear. It's set to use the siding at Werlau, between Hirzenach and St. Goar, for no apparent reason. I didn't have to stop and be overtaken by something faster, could travel straight through it. This lead to a long stretch of 60 km/h max speed, and caused a significant delay. Another edit: The same service also runs into a huge traffic jam when approaching Mainz-Mombach. There are 7-8 other trains waiting to enter Mainz. Deleting E3719 in Mainz Hbf seems to break the tie.
Well they said they won't release another patch before TSW6 comes out, but since that's just weeks away and, I seem to recall, they said they'd put patched versions of legacy DLC online for their TSW6 version, we might only have to wait a few more weeks to see what's been fixed by now. I'm still hung up on the blinds situation on the E94 088 which didn't get properly fixed in the last patch.
If the Vorsignal reads Vr 2 "expect slow," without a Zs 3v, then the driver should be slowing down to 40 by the Hauptsignal anyway, and I doubt the 500 Hz speed trap will pop at 40.
Thought I would check to see if the fix for no AP points awarded/no medals earned for timetable services made it into TSW6. It has not.
Noticed that too. Very disappointing... Still testing things, but so far TSW6 feels like TSW5 with a new paintjob slapped onto it. I'm glad I went for the Free Starter Pack, honestly.
Correct, it's almost exclusively for Linke Rheinstrecke. The E94 088 also does some railtours on Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn though.
Yea also whats is with the scoring on linke route there is nothing to earn. That dont bother anyway just wondering.
The new E94 timetable doesn't give any medals, just points, yes. That's been bugged since the pack was released, and should get fixed... sometimes. You know how DTG is with patches, especially on 3rd party stuff
I have looked in the rail tour for Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn is not there is own all German routes plus the route its ment for. So who knows it doesn't show up.
Im a little confused so you get two locos but only one is playable on linke and the other is only two jobs on mannheim.
Technically its one of the four controls needed to activate sifa fully on the loco. The other being the Sifa MCB in the machine room, and the Sifa air valve on the exterior bogie. In effect the two semaphores in the cab are fault switches which bypass the sifa pressure sensor allowing the locomotive to take power with sifa pressure chamber being empty (both have to be up to allow sifa to function correctly). The Sifa switch in the machine room turns sifa on electrically although it still has no control over applying the brake. The Sifa air valve outside effectively isolates Sifa from being able to apply the brake.
I would love some actual timetable services and/or railtours with the Umbauwagen coaches. They feel a bit underused atm.
You get two scenarios with them and thats it. I thought it its own timetable as well as the other one.
There are timetable services as well. Some very interesting coupling/uncoupling services with the 365 and two whole-route regional services, with the 111 and 110 respectively. When I'm back home I can write down the numbers of the services, they are quite fun But I agree, the Umbauwagen are an great addition and look amazing, they deserve more spotlight
OK With the 365, it's the 7506 in the morning and the two 7529 in the evening. With the 111 it's the 7506 again. And last, with the Bnrdzf cab car, it's the 7529. This one is the most interesting, since it goes cab forward, then some n-Wagen, then the 110, and behind it the two Umbauwagen Be aware that when you use the door switch in the cab, the Umbauwagen's doors won't open (they don't have automatic door control). You have to use the hotkey instead.
You're all welcome Oh and I forgot something... sorry about that, it's been a while since I played these services. After service 7529, there's actually a little bonus service you can do. Leave the cab car, head back to the loco and into the cab facing the Umbauwagen. There's a very short shunting service, bringing the train back to a siding where a 365 is waiting to gather the two Umbauwagen. The service does not show up in the timetable because you have to drive with the two Umbauwagen in front of you
Found another small-ish timetable issue. The E3367 with the BR 628 from Gau-Algesheim to Mainz... I had to wait at Gau-Algesheim for a regional train, a fast train and a freight train to pass first, causing delay. En route to Ingelheim I had to stop again at the entrance signal, since the aforementioned regional train still occupied the platform (it had to let the other two trains pass too), causing me even more delay. No further issues came up until I arrived at the entrance signal at Mainz, with about 10 minutes of delay. Signal is red, great... an AI train to Worms has been given priority over me and occupied the platform. I had to wait until it departed at 13:47 and arrived at Mainz with pretty much exactly 15 minutes of delay. This also caused the northbound service 6537 to depart with severe delay themselves, because I occupied their track. The services coming from Saarbrücken seem to have exceptionally bad luck timetable-wise, considering that E3365 with the BR 218 about an hour earlier suffers from about the same problems... While we're at it... DominusEdwardius sorry for tagging you, but could you share any news on updates for the E94 pack please, if there are any? It's been awfully quiet lately. This pack is a great and welcome addition to the game as it is, and would be even greater with some of the bugs ironed out Edit: Just noticed something peculiar: There's a regional service from Bingerbrück to Mainz, following my E3367 and is being called E3367 itself too... very odd.
When will the blinds in the cab of the e94 088 get a fix, a few months later and we are getting nothing.
