    Well if there is feedback then people will give it. If you don't like it that's fine but it's better to give feedback rather than nothing at all. It helps dtg at the end of the day. If you don't have complaints then that good but if others do that's alright and don't criticize people for giving feedback

    Again, I know they are AI only. What I’m asking is why those layers aren’t playable. I already got the answer it wouldn’t be realistic because those trains never drove there in reality. So why are the AI layers on the route at all then?

    Because the Dresden AI stuff is heading north and the map ends there immediately. You couldn't even drive one station with it.
    And there is no AI layer on the route elsewhere, only in Dresden.

    Yes, there may also be an AI layer in Chemnitz, I don't know. But since the line doesn't continue towards Leipzig, it doesn't make sense to make the AI trains accessible to the player there either.

    Or was that not meant as a question, but just as information?

    And the answer because they are there is:

    Otherwise Dresden and Chemnitz would offer a very unrealistic experience being plain dead empty. We had that on previous german releases (in fact everyone except DRA) so the integration of them, even if not playable, increases the 'world' feeling of Train Sim World considerably. ;)

    The route became available on Epic at 4:00 PM in the UK, and I'm downloading 13.2GB at the moment, this is huge compared to other routes. Or was there a new patch included too?

    So far no news update on the TSW2 Website, because they usually will put another news about the new route officially released

    Ah the anticipation. Well I do have a rather muddy run across Zelnegorsk (sp) in Snowrunner to finish so I'll probably do that while tabbing to Steam from time to time.

    Sometimes you need to completely exit Steam (i.e. close it from dormant in the Taskbar hidden icons) to latch on the update.

    Never has a route been so eagerly awaited.

    Assuming it is the route, then kudos to Matt and the team for sorting the earlier issue that might have delayed the arrival. 1800 GMT is the usual time for new content to arrive.

    yes, that is what I just did and it work. Thanks, For those who are steam users, you need to close steam completely from the task bar menu, and reopen steam, for the download to start.

    I think this is one route and train where I might let the introductory tutorial run its course.

    4 minutes left to install...

    Had anyone experienced a red signal on the introduction to the BR 612 train tutorial? Right now I am being held by a red signal, and when I contact dispatch it said Denied. Your train appears to be off path. Overall the route is amazing, the train is still a little hard to control though. Stuck at Floha

    Not had that, though I had to exit just after departing Floha, which means starting the scenario from scratch as you can’t save the run…

    Initial impressions very good. We asked for better track sound and we certainly got it, the grinding around curves is spectacular. It might just be my settings but I kind of think the ballast looks a bit bright and shiny a bit like it does on GWE sometimes. That definitely needs toning down to something more subtle and less harsh. I’m also surprised the 612 introduction proper doesn’t seem to cover management of the tilt system, unless that comes later (I’m trying to follow Journey Mode).

    true, the sound is so amazing and almost more realistic than before. Give props to the amazing sound team, and hopefully, the sound will be updated to all the previous routes and the new upcoming route. So excited to see how the Harlem line is going to turn out, especially the sounds.

    I agree. As a PS4 player, I‘m also very happy. You can get the full driving experience because all the drivable trains & services (including the Talent 2) are included. And due to the removal of the AI ICE & IC layers, the framerate at Dresden is actually very nice. Thanks to whoever actually put some thought into this instead of just disabling all layers and substitutions for Gen 8, which would’ve taken away the Talent 2 services from us. The Talent 2 is an easy train we’re all familiar with, so it’s the perfect choice if you just want to enjoy the scenery. Overall very impressed!!

    Could you please remove the RT BR1442 as a substitution? That would never run at Dresden or Chemnitz, thanks.

    The 1442 isn’t meant to be included as a layer

    I know. I’m talking about the normal VVO Talent 2 that is intentionally included.

    Does the Db Br 612 tilting system work on other routes?

    Yes. Unlike real life, GST (the tilting system) and GNT (the safety system) are decoupled, so you can use GST without GNT if you so desire.

    Cheers

    The route was amazing!
    Beautiful mountain scenery, with descents, ascents and sharp turns.
    A large number of rolling stock at the stations!
    It looks great!

    Not without incidents.
    Sounds 612 when fitting into curves, not quite real.
    Didn't like the rocks, with repeatable shapes.
    Errors in modeling turning circles in fan-type depots.
