There is a growing issue of selecting the "correct" rolling stock, this is most noticeable with the 766/767 Dosto cab cars. There are currently 5 variants, soon 6 with the new route. Would it be possible to display the "home route" in the loco/livery selection, to tell which variant comes from which route? There are 3x "766.2 DBpbzfa DB". I'm guessing the one selected below is the VVO one based on the white stripe. But I have no way of rotating the view. Then I have the "767.2 DABpbzfa" and "767.2 DABpbzfa DB". What is the difference? Which route do these come from? Then there are the two DB 143s - one of these comes from Ruhr Sieg Nord, the other one from Dresden - Riesa. How do I tell which is which? They look identical and obviously I want to drive the "new and improved" one from DRA. Could this be looked into to provide a better way of identifying the correct rolling stock?
I asked this very question earlier today and it seems the modding community have already addressed this https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...tches/i1020-origin-dlc-markings-on-train-logo
Another way to fix this Q button livery change Xbox Series X/S Xbox One X button PS4/PS5 Square which allows you to select the train formations. If you own Main Spessart Bahn and Riesa Dresden you should have the paint brush icon select livery Original Main Spessart Bahn and New Riesa-Dresden.
Thanks for detailed info- i'm not sure why they can't just put the home route in the name like "BR185.5 Dresden", etc?
Why are there so many identical rolling stock to begin with? I mean I can understand it if there are any differences, like the white stripes on one of the Dostos, but what about the other 4 varient? Or the two exactly similar DB 143s? Why are there two?
Exactly, I am still waiting for RT Talent2 to be FIXED! Right now it is completely unusable, the train moves like a ghost, completely silent. The other Talent2s on other routes are a treat to drive, but not the RT one. And the only other loco that can be used on the route, the BR182, is also broken as hell, so right now I cannot basically use the RT route at all. Anyone knows when these CRITICAL bugs are gonna be fixed?
As usual, no matter what DTG does, some folks will like it, others will tolerate it, and still others will detest it. meanwhile, most will enjoy the features they appreciate and ignore the ones they don't. To paraphrase Flanders and Swan, "It all makes play for the playing folks to do".
There should be a way outside of scenarios for us to only allow the newest version or the one with the fitting livery. For example, there's no point in having the old 143 in any timetable when the DRA one exists.
Or as an option to hide those we dont want to show, its àn option that already exists for routes, as some liveries are only avaiable for certain routes, people may need them.
Apparently it's to do with QA. Apparently it's easier to make a brand new model than to update an old one and have to check it on every route. Whereas the new one only has to be tested on one route. I think DTG mentioned that in one of their streams a few months ago. Doesn't make sense to me though. Given that the locos substitute anyway, surely they work.
Didn't know it existed, thanks, I will try it out, it could work as an interim solution (but I fear it might be more of a permanent one, given the fact it's DTG who must fix the RT 1442 )
