Out Now Mittenwaldbahn - Out Now!

Not out on Xbox at 10.11 uk. Can someone supply a link please.

 

"Buy Train Sim World® 5: Mittenwaldbahn: Innsbruck - Garmisch-Partenkirchen | Xbox" https://www.xbox.com/en-gb/games/st...innsbruck-garmisch-partenkirchen/9n0hv75jdjl3

 

Technically it’s another @7 hours for we PC master race!

But the wife kindly let me add a Steam Wallet Gift Card to our shopping at Sainsbury’s this morning, so fully funded. Just marking time now for release.

 

I'm downloading it on PS5 Pro right now, so I'll give you feedback.

 

Thank you Tom, Doesn’t show on xbox so l am grateful for the link now purchased and installing. Will have to wait until midday to play it now unfortunately.

Everytime there is a new release from DTG it’s impossible to find it on the Microsoft xbox store search, so am grateful for the link.

 

PS5 Pro console
Unfortunately, my concerns about the frame and chassis textures have been confirmed. It almost feels like something in the material settings or I don't know... Could it be related to the reflection of clouds in the windows or something? With increasing distance, the chassis loses its plasticity and becomes like a 2D texture in the fog. Anyway, for me, it's unwatchable.

EDIT: It looks a bit like a photomontage of 1020 next to Silberling
It ultimately looks like the problem will be with the entire castle, but it's not as obvious on the orange one at first glance.

 

PS5 Pro console
And the upper polygons on the bogies are still quite bright, but underneath the locomotive it looks quite unnatural when viewed through the holes in the frame.

In a very rare move for me actually gave this route a plug on my Facebook page!

OT but I love being greeted by cats

 

Why €39.99/£32.99/$44.99? New standard price ?

 

PS5 Pro console ... first look
I'm doing my first ride with BR111 + Silberling, Eilzug Gapa-Innsbruck. Winter weather set, about 65% snow level. I think the scenery is displayed in full. In stations like Mittenwald etc. I notice a slight blurring especially on BR111, I follow the structure of dirt on the roof, but it's nothing that would be noticeable and disturbing during normal operation, so far so good for me. Even a slightly snowy chassis on the OBB 1020 somewhat eliminates the strange effects that I mentioned above.

 

Although I don’t really think it’s a super big issue, I definitely get your concerns. Lukas said he’s already looking into it. If you look at pictures of the real thing, the lower part of the Krokodil loco is definitely brighter than on other locos and wagons (could be because quite a lot of light can get to these lower portions, compared to other locos/wagons which are a bit more… shielded down there). But the whole thing could definitely do with a slight darkening - either through changing the texture colors, or changing the way the materials/shadows behave (the latter being the more likely option I think - I’m sure they made an effort to get the paint color right in the first place).

 

The graphics look good but I don't see any mountains near Innsbruck on xbox X. Did you forget them? They were visible in the prerelease build:

 

I agree with that.

Originally it looked on the stream that it was due to texture shading, but now that I see it live on PS5, I think the error must be in some material setting, or filter directly on the model (polygons). Exactly as you mention, it must be in the setting of something on the model, because the new Rmms model is fine, as well as the lighter chassis on the BR111 are fine.

I believe that TSG can solve and fine-tune this.

 

TSG is usually great even at launch but between the obvious graphical issue with the Crocodil and whatever is going on with those mountains, i'm glad i didn't pull the trigger yet. I'm getting Arosa vibes.

Did DTG do one of their classic, "we published the wrong build" oopsies?

Waiting for the first patch or some clarification at this point.

 

Damn, that's pretty egregious :/ Looks like the limited draw distance on Xbox Series X strikes again. Makes Innsbruck incomparable to its real-life equivalent.

 

PS5 -
I can now confirm that driving ÖBB1020 with Dualshock is good, so satisfying to accelerate and brake, and it’s optimized for controller - you can change Motoring/Braking lever without aiming camera on it - Square button to change braking mode and then L2. You have to try it on your own to understand how great is it to drive!

So far introduction and first run done, Im so excited, route looks amazing and I surely will spend lot of hours overe here at Mittenwaldbahn! Thanks a lot TSG for another great product!

 

Although TSG did confirm limited draw distance for Xbox (which is completely out of their control let's remember), it was also said that the difference wasn't that noticeable.

I find it rather noticeable.

 

no mountains on a mountain route is noticeable yes

 

Mh, I am on XBox Series X as well. Might wait a bit longer before purchase. Maybe others have similar issues regarding missing mountains. That would be a pity.

 

Yeah It’s taken this long to download and install because of my slow internet but l am just ready to start the game and play Mittenwaldbahn.

 

So I have to try the control on 1020. What is a little uncomfortable is that, like PZB, it can show its statuses on the auxiliary display on the right under the HUD Track, Indusi 60 does not show it...... On the way to Innsbruck, I noticed that on the Austrian side there were several situations when it was indicated that slow driving was expected and even a warning and no activation of the 1000Hz magnet happened.....so I'm a little lost in it
I agree, it's an interesting route, it will be a lot of fun. Let's hope the patch will be soon and it will work

 

There are no 1000Hz magnets in AT IIRC

 

I don't know what to say, I'm getting lost in this

Manual
AT Vorsignal
This signal must be
acknowledged, whether there is a
1000Hz magnet or not.

 

PS5 Pro
When using the right joystick R3 and the left button for head out view on the 1020, unfortunately you can't immediately return to the basic driver's view by pressing R3 again...that's a shame...it works on the BR111.....

And then, both on the BR111 and on the 1020, unfortunately, the circular button again activates both the Sifa confirmation and the Indusi Acknowledge

 

So far one run with BR111 and one with 1020, in both cases only for the gold medal, the problem is maintaining speed and stopping precision
It's a challenge

 

At least TSW is more lenient than TSC where I had terrible trouble with "game overs" on that version after the sim detected me rolling at stations with the doors open, even though brakes fully applied.

 

God, I hate these OUT NOW when I still have to wait several hours on steam. Why cant it be OUT TODAY?

 

talk to the guys in Washington state. that's not a DTG related issiue.

 

Did they delete your thread about this issue? I can't find it now

Should be pinned at the top imo. Really shockingly bad.

 

I probably won't buy it until the Xbox issue is fixed, but I noticed an Airbus A300 in the trailer, which is a really nice touch.

 

Why is the addon not yet released on steam? It's not even listed. I wonder why Steam users are left waiting while everyone else gets to play already...

 

That's a shame.

I was really looking forward to this one but that kind of performance/feature cut is unacceptable for me personally. So, my no spending in TSW in 2025 continues. Bummed out about this.

And for the vast majority of people who don't follow the forums, they're being sold a clearly inferior version of the product at full price on Series X.

Is there any kind of disclaimer on the store page?

I know you don't control any of this. I love all of TSG's work but this is too much imo.

Maybe someone from DTG can get in this discussion?

 

What? Isn't acknowledge just circle on PS? What console are you on?

 

Its usually released on Steam from about 1800 UK Time. Thats nothing to do with Dovetail. Its a Steam issue. Moan at them.

I don't wish to stir the pot unnecessarily but is this draw distance setting on Xbox because of series S performance? Or can the Series X just not handle it?

Just a rather unfortunate turn of events that should've been made clear prior to release. Hopefully something can be done.

 

On PS5, it is confirmed with the circular button, unfortunately it also launches PZB(Indusi) Acknowledge, so it's gonna be a buzzing sound or something

 

I'd like to know this too. Are the distances reduced on PS5? If not, then Series S is 100% the culprit.

 

I would say that the PS5 is full of scenery, at least that's how I perceive it

 

Hmm, unfortunately a known issue in some locos. Hearing 'zugbeeinflussung' every time I acknowledge SIFA on the ICE1 gets old real quick.

Anyway, the poster I responded to seemed to claim that acknowledge wasn't mapped at all. Which I found a bit strange.

 

It would be helpful if a PS5 player could post the same scene so we could see side-by-side with Series X.

If it does end up being a Series S limitation, i'd hope they consider shipping Gen 8 builds for Series S in the future.

I understand doing a seperate Series S build is unfeasible, but why punish Series X players with worse quality?

 

Agreed it should be pinned as a PSA, a fair warning to prospective Xbox buyers.

But they moved the topic to the depths of the troubleshooting subforum, like they did with my similar thread about Vorarlberg and Rosenheim on Xbox, a year ago :/

 

Not so much the same or you can check out my stream from yesterday about the 15 minute mark.



Shows up quite well.

PS5 scenery

 

No idea what was happening in the past, can't remember which routes I was on and it was when I was first trying German safety systems. If I pressed circle nothing happened, and I would be penalty braked, every single time, whereas digging out an old keyboard and pressing page down worked. I spent ages trying and the only thing that worked was page down, so I've been using a keyboard just for that one button ever since!

Maybe whichever route/loco I was learning on was bugged, but for years I've either used the keyboard or just didn't bother with the safety systems, whereas I've just tried circle on a newer route (one that shows the big yellow Acknowledge warning as easier to test than on this route) and circle works.

So, yeah, a me problem, not a game one, thanks for the replies which made me go back and try it again.

 

??? DTG is a British company belonging to a French conglomerate. Most good things aren't from the US (like KCD, Witcher/Cp2077, BG3, Anno, ATS/ETS). Or am I missing something? Also, I'm not sure, but I think Dovetail does their marketing in house. Not that I expect that this minor annoyance will change.

 

First ride ( E685 / Garmisch-Innsbruck / departing Garmisch at 10:27 / BR 111 ) endet prematurely at the first Stop in „Klais“, as the exit signal was constantly showing „Hp0“ ( Stop ).
No AI-Traffic or whatever anyway near to my position…
