I play on Xbox series S on HD settings in TSW and 1440p on Xbox settings. No stuttering, never had. Also if I set it on 4K no stuttering. I do get a slow camera motion when I turn 4K on. But then I still ask why DTG have them in their stream. I will do some more research then the next upcoming weeks.
I went to Germany not long ago. Ate lunch at this little cafe right along this route. Railfanned the route and watched it more while taking a Rhein river cruise. running trains along this route will bring back some fond memories. Germany is a really cool place to visit.
I’m on a series x I get the micro stutters often. It almost seems like they are in the same place. It’s noticeable a tad annoying but not game breaking
Just seen on the Ambassador stream: BR 103 has the same bug with the PZB-indicators as the BR 110.3. if under 500 Hz supervision, the indicators don't flash to show you the mode.
Well, well...here we are again (at least for me after BRO), not enough Q&A, always the same. I still hope the 110 brakes are fixed finally, otherwise I'm really thinking about refunding it this time.
If you talk about the red 500Hz indicator it's fully correct and the red indicator doesn't blink at all. So this works fully correct. Only yellow 1000hz flashes
Console users please post any feedback, how does it perform on PS5? PC users still on the fence about getting preorder discount (still a few hours left), here is a video just out from Train Sim TV (no connection with DTG): Plenty of impartial feedback!
I am talking about the 55/70/85, while under 500Hz. DTG should know exactly what I mean, I and other people already filed several bug reports (for mine with video, and explaining it in detail). The bug is also present on other locos, while some don't have the bug.
On the 103 this is working for sure. When you leaving for the first part you see the "Wechsel blinken" switching between 70/85 on the IC 103 in pzb modus "85". The red light doesn't do nothing as intended.
There is no 101 on the route. If you have been watching the Livestream or the article, it was mentioned several times. It is too new for the route.
Low numbers from series were already in operation that year. But if creator’s research results with incorrect skirt on 103, then this line with „101 being too new for the route” isn’t surprising as well. Easily couple of services could be operated with 101.
For me, this is also the most annoying thing about the otherwise nice DLC. The skirt of the 103 simply didn't have to be, a simple search would have sufficed here. Because these were dismantled very early in the 1980s. But we've mentioned that many times before. I'm still hoping for an update without an skirt.
The 103 was just difficult to find reference material on. The devs said they found like numerous variations of the same locomotive so they had to pick and choose one.
Sry, in my opinion that was too easy an excuse. There are entire books about the BR103 and even a simple image search would have revealed that there were no more 103s with skirt driving around in the 1990s.
Devs many times proved they don’t know that well subject of the game they create. Being a railfan is one thing, having actual knowledge is another. And this difference is very visible on a preview streams. Simple Google search provides you with dates and state of machines for different time frames. There’s Flickr and many german galleries, full of pictures from late 80’s till today’s date. But hey, people will still buy the DLC, yes?
Trains from a completely different era or even part of the country haven't been a barrier to being layered in before! For me however, if it wasn't there it shouldn't be included or at least it would be nice if we had the ability to select the level of realism we want.
If a missing indicator light, a questionable skirt and a dodgy river texture is all people have found, I can live with it!
I did hear that but it was stated that they heard our feedback of the missing 101- so I thought they made a last minute change
Oh man waiting for my workday to finish so I can switch from the PC (left) to the PC (right) ... and wait for the steam release ... Still not sure if calling in sick tomorrow (or reducing overtime hours, of course) ;-)
I have explain already that he makes a mistake. The pzb works as it should be intended. What I have understand is his complain that when you run the first meters in restricted mode you have to see the 500hz red light but that's incorrect
No, Although the 103 subs in on the Bremen Oldenberg BR101 service. They did say the BR101 wouldn't sub in as well. Hentis
Well it’s sloppy. BBO has exactly the same issue, which remains unfixed. To me it is indicative of sloppy route building and poor beta testing/QA. Having even non lethal train/road vehicle pseudo collisions in the sim is unacceptable and frankly I’m surprised DB haven’t kicked up about it.
I’m not massively impressed with this one. I’m on Xbox x and the draw distance seems to be very close compared with other routes. I should be enjoying the scenery but I’m seeing greyed out trees and hillsides which only gain colour and texture when very close. It’s a bit like a slightly grey winter landscape until close up. I don’t see this on any of the routes I own.
Obviously this is not specifically about the route (more like all routes), but this 'light' effect has been bothering me for a while. No chance that in real life, ballast etc. gets that shiny.
I said, it was not working, while 500Hz was active. And that has been shown on stream by their ambassador. I am not speaking about leaving when just switched on. Yes, I am sure. In-game, it uses PZB90. The same bug is in the BR 110.3 from LFR, BR 110.3 from BRO. (need to check again, but I think BR 401 from KWG too)
Same on Xbox Series S. The scenery is very nice, but those greyish trees in the distance are just ugly. Why can‘t they be darker? Did two runs already and I really enjoyed it, but this and missing PIS are drawbacks. As a former local I must state that the scenery is very much recognisable. And the stuttering is far better than on BRO. Well done, DTG!
You are correct the best place to what they could have done was go inside the museum Koblenz Lützel to find the correct DB Baureihe 103 in TEE Lackierung. Considering that the other trains are in DB Produktfarben
The 500Hz works. But if you slowed down, you don't know, if you are in normal mode, or restrictive mode. So you don't know which speed limit applies to you.
So I made a scenario Mainz-Koblenz with the Br101 and… This route is really incredible! It’s the best looking route we have got so far, try a run at around 18:00 in May and you will see the complete beauty of the route! Now let’s hope for a modern day timetable ;D Really good work DTGx keep up this work!
That is pretty awful and really shows how bad the lighting can be in TSW. Not necessarily a thing with TSW3 either despite the adaptive eye, as DCZ demonstrated similar visual awfulness in certain lighting conditions on release. The cab of the 103 looks nice. However given concerns being expressed about the forthcoming 628 and the admission from both DTG and a developer that German traction sounds have become hard to get, how close to the real thing is the audio - or has it been aliased to something else? This route was originally on my "Day One" list but the issues (other posts indicate LC vehicle stoppers not working, again after same problem on BBO) are pushing it back to "first time on sale".
So far, the route looks very nice, but the n-wagen cab car has the same bugs as the one on Bremen? The bugs that were fixed some time ago?? Destination board resets, air sound from the brakes is looping? I have one question regarding the station names, is this prototypical? Bingen Stadt is named Bingen in the timetable Bingen Hbf is named Bingerbrück
i did a freight run in 3 parts but on the 3rd part 2 cars on 2 different crossings drove right through my loco they didnt even stop at the barriers. i cant remember what service it was but the first part started around 6 in the morning.
Saw a stream earlier and it clinched it, the scenery is too good not to have. Looks good, runs good, sounds good on PC. Also I remember someone was worried they hadn't seen the 1st class carriages. So here you go:
At the end of the IC 715 service (DB BR 103), 2 random passenger cars gained a jet black livery upon arriving at destination (car 2 and 5, or 1 and 4, don't remember). Freight service 54692 (DB BR 110 at 2 AM) does not start (the "Contact signaler" button doesn't do anything). Other than that pretty cool route.
103 sounds very familiar, in many cases like the 110 and drives like a reskinned 110 more or less. Brakes on 103 are as broken as on the 110. Why is that? It was clear with BRO already that the brakes are not working as they should be. Now next release, same broken physics. The models of the ships on the Rhein are not just bad, they look awkward. I also discovered this at Koblenz Hbf: Didn't drive in the summer yet... EDIT: I just have to say this, for me Dresden Riesa was the absolute "high" of the german routes, since then (besides KWB is a nice route) the quality has gone down very much...
Something I really cannot comprehend is that all the *international* D-Zug lines are operated with N-Wagen. This is literally the worst possible rolling stock choice for them. I actually looked up images of these trains in the era, and of course, they were not running with N-Wagen, especially not with a cab car. They were using older coaching stock similar to the IC coaches included in the route. In fact I found photos of some of them already having been repainted into the Produktfarben with the red window stripe. They did use 110s in front of them though. DTG, please, PLEASE, I hope the formations of these trains can be changed to 110s with IC coaches. This would also enhance gameplay on the route, opening up different coaching stock options to the 110. If they don't work with 110s, at least please replace the services with regular 103 hauled services, we just can't have long distance trains running services between Prague and Amsterdam or Pisa and Cologne being operated with commuter train coaches. I don't even have any knowledge of N-Wagen ever having left Germany on international services.
Part 2. I think some catenary infrastructure is missing. I just noticed the screenshots are wierd (didn't do QC on them, sorry).
