Db Br 363 Available Today!

While I appreciate your basically reiterating what I already wrote and even more the details you added, I'm still fed up with DTG's policy of not providing user manuals with engine DLCs, especially since the "tutorials" they do provide don't come close to revealing important information.

 

While I, too, would like to have more scenarios and timetable services for this fascinating shunter, I much appreciate the complex operations contained in those that make up the package and the intense AI traffic that enlivens them. I gather from some posts I've seen that the 363 itself shows up as AI on some of the other German routes? I haven't experienced this yet and would like further information. Perhaps both of the German shunters now available will be actively added to all of the German DLC eventually?

 

While driving one of the cement wagon services yesterday, I noticed that as I pushed some wagons toward the end of a siding, the words "Start cement mixer" briefly appeared. Does this imply that loading is possible, even though it isn't included in any of the activities? I wish I'd taken a screen shot, but I just didn't react quickly enough. Despite the one unusable scenario, I really appreciate the complexity of the activities packaged with this complex engine.

 

Cement mixer is just the name of one of the scenarios and you will have passed over the in-game start point for it. Scenario markers I think they’re called.

 

I'm looking forward to that!

 

Tomorrow it is almost finished.

 

On the xbox version, how do to contact dispatcher on Intro run of 363?

 

Press or hold B button.

 

Can't read?????

 

Bought his loco but I am frustrated with the brakes, skids to a stop without me doing anything,
just putting the throttle into idle jams the brakes on
maybe I'm doing something wrong but can't figure it out
frustrated to the point where I have given up

 

You have a light locomotive, braking is a bit more touchy than on a heavy locomotive. You need to be very judicious when applying and have to remember they are not self lapping.

 

And use the loco brake.

 

dont use the train brake use the loco brake

 

While I agree use the loco brake when light engine or only a couple of cars, the loco brake would be very inefficient with several cars. I agree as well the train brake is a bit touchy, but keeping that in mind and the fact it isn’t self lapping, it real isn’t that hard to use with a little practice.

 

Generally I use the train brake for stopping or significant speed reductions. I use the loco brake to fine-tune my speed- except light loco or shunting a couple of cars, when I use it for everything because it's generally more responsive

 

You're not alone in being overzealous with the brakes

That’s great news! I also found this locomotive hard to drive which actually made it one of the more rewarding locomotives to practice with as it has some very unique qualities to it!

 

Perhaps I ought to try again with all these glowing reviews
