Skyhook Games - Hamburg To Lubeck Screenshots!

Hi everyone!

As some of you may have already seen, Skyhook games released a series of screenshots for Cane Creek route that is currently in production... Links to the pictures are hidden in the page source on one of their webpages. But that is not all.

There are also a few pictures of the upcoming Hamburg to Lubeck route. Enjoy!

 

What the... Natalkaaaa oni kradną Twoje rysunki na poniedziałek!
I like WordPress but this happends all the time meh meh /o\

 

Don't really care about German stuff, but looks good.

 

Isn’t hbl and electric route ? Or have the overhead wires not been added yet ?

 

Kind of hard to run a 112 without wires

 

In the second screenshot, there's a grey box on a green pole - I think this is a placeholder for a signal (implying these are very early screenshots), so I'd guess the wires just haven't gone up (in the TS1 editor, OHLE tends to just get in the way so it may be the same story here).

 

Or Skyhood is responsible for raw scenery and DTG for infrastructure (signaling, etc)

 

You might be right, this is on their website:
Route placement

Route placement consists of Dovetail providing the route in UE4 with the lidar data and track placed, and all the assets needed to populate the route.

Our placement team, using google earth as reference then dress along the track adding any roads, buildings and foliage as required, each artist will place approximately 1/2 kilometre of set dressing per day.


Asset Building

The asset/ hero building creation, involves Dovetail providing reference shots of the Building required and position in Google Earth. The team will then also use Google Earth for further reference, and to get the correct measurements of the buildings, thay will also scouring image hosting sites for further reference shots to cover all angles

The asset is then modelled and textured using a PBR workflow, and Dovetails preferred texture layout method.

We’ve been providing assets for Dovetail’s Train Simulator since Skyhooks inception.

 

I’d hope that ballast texture gets changed as it’s very, very noticeably repetitive.

 

I reckon these are very early screenshots so likely will be.

 

I would recommend reading through this:
Very interesting

Looks nice even though i wont get it

 

Still looks like a straight railway through a boring flat landscape, just like the Train Simulator version. :P

 

Oh boy! Excited for another German route. Hopefully they have the ICE going brrrr!

 

I personnaly just wait big routes liké Hamburg Hannover. I m sick with the small 60 km tracks :/

 

Just don't buy it if you're so 'sick' from this.

 

German content's biggest pro is, it looks very realistic. Sometimes the Euro scenery isn't very spectacular, but still, it is always an immersive experience <3

 

Where can i find Cane creek screenshots or is there only one?/ Nvm found it

 

Do you think Skyhook are the second party who did the HS1 on SEHS?

 

SEHS was all done by dtg wasn’t it ?

 

No, I think that the HS1 part was done by a second party, likely how they are managing to do bigger routes now.

 

I don't think so, HS1 looked like a joke and after seeing the Cane Creek Screenshots there's no way Skyhook would produce something like that.

 

Is the railway really so smooth and straight?

 

Yes, I believe it is because ICE services run on it so I think it will be very similar to Koln to Aachen.

 

Is there this route? Or when will it happen?

 

well actually there are almost no ICE or IC services on this route, but a few freight and many regional services. The reason that it is that straight is, that they were able to build it straight. It’s cheaper when you can go a short way without tunnels and bridges, and that has been done here. This route has no LZB and the top speed is 160km/h, but it’s still a very nice route since it’s in the north where we hadn’t got one. And I would love to see some new containerwaggons along with the Br182, maybe some of Maersk, evergreen and co.; or other Klv train waggons! And the other thing I hope: There are a few IC services on this route, so I hope we will get a few Br101 services on this route

 

First look https://skyhookgames.com/case-study/dovetail-games/ with on from Skyhook games

 

thanks! I noticed something: On one of the photos there was a tanker waggon with the GATX logo on it; so has DTG got the license to use this Logo and we might get it when the MSB update comes out? Sounds like a question for the next q and a stream!

 

Interesting to know, I believe the RE8, RE80, RE81. I don’t know for sure but I watched a couple of ‘trains at’ on YouTube. That’s were I saw the ICE train. But it does look like their is very few ICE IRL. I had a look at the stopping pattern of the trains, and personally I find it quite interesting, with some trains terminating along the route and some going all the way between Hamburg to Lubeck.

 

I noticed that there is a EWS class 08, I know they have the EWS license because that’s what the class 66 is in on East Coastway but didn’t realise that they had class 08s in this livery.

 

that’s right! As far as I know there are some regional trains going the whole route and some going only some stops, so that’s vert interesting!

 

oh, the fourth picture from this album is what I meant (about the GATX waggons); anybody who knows something?

 

I saw that as well. I can only assume it's a placeholder skin or from a cancelled project, or perhaps just a prototype.

 

Some of these are already released - SPG eg. / or I am already too-moded

 

well, aren’t these the ones on MSB?
I’m not sure, but the ones on SPG are different ones than the Zacns

 

just looked it up: There are four IC services per day: Two to Hamburg and two from Hamburg

 

Would the GATX wagons fit on Hamburg to Lubeck?

 

I‘m not sure what kind of freight is travelling on this route, but I‘ll find out and come back later

 

Regarding the timetable this is a brief snapshot:

 

so here we go: I watched a few videos and most of the trains were intermodal trains with containers and trailers, but there were also a few trains with cars, tankers,... So I guess we will get new containerwaggons and the old freight waggons will also be implemented; but We‘ll see

 

Maybe some piggybacks will be introduced

 

pardon?

example (non-DB )



some kind of intermodal / container / modern / traffic / trailers for trailers

 

I thought DTG was making Hamburg Lübeck. No mention of a third party on the roadmap.

 

DTG are
Skyhook is just helping

 

ohh, you meant the T3000e and T2000e; noe I get it! Actually that was what I meant with the “trailers” a bit above...
And you are right! That would be amazing!

 

On the Skyhook’s website they say that they have been help Dovetail since 2014!

 

as far as I know they also did the Class 66 for GWE

 

For me, the key element of the portfolio is participation in the creation of 363. Top Notch!
