Experience the quaint ÖBB 5047 which thanks to Skyhook Games and Railworks Austria has arrived for Train Simulator! READ MORE
It's not a bad DLC, but nothing special. The textures are quite low resolution on the exterior model and some of the sounds are a little weak. There's quite a few features in terms of controls and it's got a cold start option. Limited scenarios, with just 3 included. 5/10.
I think it is a shame for this Price not to create a Little non electrified branch line where this DMU was/is in use. E.g. North Somerset Route, it is fictional / planned (?) but at least a route for the DMU, this Train was never used on the Semmeringbahn in passenger Service and for someone who creates a so called "pro" addon ignoring that this unit was never active on this route, is a Little bit ridicolous for me. It is not much work to make a Little branch line of 20-30 km for this Train and for the Price of 20€ this should have been included without even asking for it. I am very disappointed by the developers!
It doesn't make any sense to put it on the Semmeringbahn, but unfortunately the people that made this simply didn't bother making a new route for it. To give you an idea of this add-on's polish, it was released without any sounds and was patched a day later.
Its a nice bit of kit. Picked it up yesterday, sounds are now there... whose fault that is im unsure... Watching videos of it from late last year it worked a charm. Its unique, reason i got it - to boot anything that adds to SemBahn is ok in my book, even though its fictionally driven there. The fact its got cold start is enough reason i guess to name it "pro", although shift+alt+z negates that process to quick start.
A lot of add-ons have the possibility to negate a Cold start because some people do not want it. Some come with two versions that allow the user to have a cold or running loco Peter
Might have been nice if they had got the instructions correct Page 5 says B / Shift+B to switch the Battery on/off - pushing B sounds the Horn And Schnauzahpowahz it is Ctrl+Shift+z to run the Automatic Start-up Which is useful as Cab 1 is the main cab and where the game places you but the Battery Switch is in Cab 2 Peter
Apologies for mega necro but just bought this in the sale. Have to say it is a lovely unit, sounds in particular are magnificent. It reminds me very much of the Swedish Y1 rail cars of a slightly earlier vintage and built by Fiat. Good addition to my TSC fleet. Only downer is just three scenarios luckily on the Semmering route which I own, but it could do with a nice little branch line to be at home on.
I've bought the Schienenbus from RSSLO, nice little unit. Tweaked it a little (cab camera, window opacity and cabin lights), it's a fun thing to drive.
Further quick question about the 5047. Anyone experienced loss of keyboard controls after using the shortcut to start engines? Was trying to test a scenario I had set up for my Sulitjelma route and after using the quick method, couldn’t get the keys to work for several seconds. When they did come back I then got a crash dump back to desktop. Didn’t have time for a further check and need to rehash the scenario anyway as despite the Railcar being on the platform marker it was showing as 0.5km away!
