    I myself have not yet seen any Eanos on the Dresden–Leipzig route.
    I find this very strange, and DTG should take a look into it.

    • ICE 1594 gets stuck just before Riesa behind an RB31 that's waiting on a never ending red light before entering the station.
    • At Dresden-Stetzsch, the spawn point for cars is apparently in the middle of the road crossing. I can see them pop into existence in the middle of the track while loading my passengers.
    • IC 2442 (BR101) on the LZB section is heavily slowed down even though the nearest train in front (freight train) is way out of range, the LZB indicator stills shows less than 1000. (could I be doing something wrong?). Now stuck at Wurzen at a red signal. Must be some ghost train somewhere because the track is clear. Removed the also stuck freight train (EZ45300) and now the dispatcher is going to let the S4 service go first at Wurzen towards Leipzig. An RE50 also showed up and is waiting for the red light as well.
    • Why are there still non-empty "empty" stock moves on this route?

    I just took the ICE 1558 from Dresden to Wiesbaden, almost. Before Riesa, I had a HP 0 (stop signal) because there was a train in front of me that also wasn't moving any further. So far, so good, but when I looked at the map, I was completely lost. What the heck is the RB 31 Dresden to Coswing doing in Riesa? This was much more than a train disruption (which I've deactivated).
    Ich bin gerade den ICE 1558 von Dresden – Wiesbaden gefahren, fast. Vor Riesa hatte ich ein HP 0 (halte zeigendes Signal), weil ein Zug vor mir war, der auch nicht weiter fährt. So weit so gut, als ich auf der Karte sah, verstand ich die Welt nicht mehr. Was zum Kuckuck macht die RB 31 Dresden nach Coswing in Riesa? Das ist einiges mehr als eine Zugstörung (was ich deaktiviert habe) gewesen.

    michel.guinand, I have run this service and found the same thing at Riesa. It is that RB31 (18320) that is causing the issue. Once that train is deleted, I finished it without further issues.

    I encountered the same issue, but it worked fine on the second attempt to complete the service.

    Such a rebel that RB31, it probably got fed up with the dtg dispatcher and decided to go its own way.

    Although Journey Mode was fixed for the 294 with the recent patch, it is still broken for the 363 in "Saxony Appeal" where you can only drive the included scenario and one of the two required timetable services. The other required timetable service is still blank, just like all the 294 Journey timetable services used to be. Series X

    These are the offmap destinations. Dresden is a city near Czech border, so many of them are in Czechia.

    I have come to the conclusion that the signals between Liepzig and Riesa and maybe elsewhere are faulty in many places. There are a number of signs with a circle on overhead poles as in the photo. These signs identify as bi-directional signals in the map and on the HUD. I chose Bennewitz as an example, easily accessed in free roam. At Bennewitz station take a walk to any signal and look on the map by pressing 9, none of the signals appears on the map. Walk towards Liepzig past the house with the gable roof and you'll find the two signs shown, press 9 and you'll see that they identify as signals with the numbers shown. If you are driving a train they show up on the HUD and the real signals don't.
    I have found a few others at distance markers 13/4, 13/6, 13/8, (Borsdorf), 14/0, 17/0, 19/8 (Liepzig is 0/0), also circle signs at Kuhren halfway along the platform, there could be lots more. Did someone take a short cut setting up these signals? Who knows?

    All I know is that this green signal behind my train stopped at Bennewitz is a bit of a worry.....

    The circle plates are LZB block signs. They are indeed signals, but only active for LZB traffic. They actually allow multiple trains to enter the same light signal protected block (protected by PZB for non-LZB-traffic), as long as every train is under LZB supervision. So it is correct that they appear on the map as signals, as they can be "red" for LZB traffic if another train is in the next LZB block. See under the title "other equipment" under "line side equipment" on Wikipedia.

    The green signal is a VorSignal, which announces the aspect of the main signal about 1km further. So it is normal that this stays green as long as the signal in front of your train is still showing a clear aspect. See this page on Wikipedia.

    These are not bugs, as opposed to a lot of the other stuff reported in this topic.

    Hello,

    this is how the BR103 looks on this route:
    - Series X
    - own scenario and no other trains
    - it starts short after Dresden or Leipzig HBF and gets normal short before Dresden or Leipzig HBF

    Question: Why do tracks like New York to Trenton run totally different than most German routes? No lagging, no blurry textures. A track starting from NY Penn with skyscrapers going to New Jersey!

    But then DTG really messed it up.
    I was driving a freight train, only with Sifa, and suddenly a red signal appeared at the top of the screen while I was driving.

    So I braked and looked for this signal, but I couldn't see it.
    And when I slowly drove past this sign, the game ended with the message ‘Red signal passed’ or something to that effect.

    But if that was an LZB sign, it shouldn't have applied to my train, as I was driving without LZB.

    It seems like non of the BR612 (RB60/ RE1) Services don't work as intended.
    After loading a couple of Services starting at Dresden Hbf, i get a instant SPAD Message.
    Don't know if this occur at Dresden Neustadt as well. Don't have test it.
    And the same Problem with a Freight Service.
    KT (42307) 07:31 AM starting at Röderau: After loading getting a instant SPAD.

    Hi candacedtg

    You did that in the Birmingham-Crewe feedback thread in response to my question as to why you don't do the same for the Dresden-Leipzig route.

    Unfortunately, no updates have been released for this route to fix the most significant issues.

    There are several problems with this route and the trains.

    I kindly request that you read through this and forward all of these errors.

    Many thanks in advance.

    anyone has any idea why the consist is limited to 160 when all coaches are also 200 kph? is it some kind of limitation of the service itself or what :) ?

    a maybe stupid question - I have noticed a slight change... when you turn on the NeiTec, am I right to have noticed that it used to say NeigeTechnik 3x, and now it says it only 2x? was that change towards more realistic audio?

    They are old and not updated for this route (old lightning)so you get some strange things.

    No the difference in TOD3 and TOD4 is the problem. TSW has a different lightning in early routes. TOD3 and now they have TOD4 that doesnt match and brings this bad lightning.

    I hope that the biggest problems with this route will be resolved, or I will put this next to the Linke Rheinstrecke on the "wasted potential" shelf. I love the layout of this route, fast section to Leipzig is something I really missed in the original Dresden Riesa route, but bad signalling in Neucoswig, LZB signalling for non-LZB trains and unreachable interior of DB BR 442 are too serious problems for me.

    Hi dal

    Yes, you're right, but DTG was once again too lazy to fix it properly.

    DTG has so many bugs in the route and trains, but will there ever be any patches?
    DTG would surely say it's not worth it.

    If i have asked this already I apologise. Why does the br442 have 30 less jobs then on the original dresden-risa route.
