Yes. There are no magnets that automatically open/close the main circuit breaker. At least as far as I am aware. Some ETCS lines *may*...

If by "fully functioning" you mean of similar standard to other freight locomotives that have LZB simulated in the game, then yes, I think that is...

I think that was just Matt making a conscious or subconscious choice to use the mouse instead of the keyboard. The Vectron has keyboard bindings...

Regarding the neutral sections: I will attempt to explain how this would work IRL (rather than divulging any details about the in-game Vectron...

I don't think this is correct. It should have the same substitution settings as the other German freight locomotives in the game (excluding the...

1. I think there are 2. The one on the Germany-Austria border and one closer to Bludenz. 2. The route only uses PZB as per reality. 3. From what...

Because it takes time and costs money? :D You can think DTG are cynical, I won't argue with you for/against that, but anytime they go back and...

I would love to see Marias Pass in TSW. It was one of my favourite routes in MSTS. However, if you want to make it justice I think you need to...

I haven't really paid too much attention to this issue (TSW2 updates) but from my understanding the TSW2 "updates" were bug fixes. These are not...

Why would TSW5 be "in the works" when TSW4 hasn't even released?

Just in case there was any confusion about this. The "65 Kn = 100 %" has nothing to do with the maximum tractive effort or the tractive effort...

I didn't take your comment as criticism, don't worry :) (although I certainly welcome criticism, only way to improve!) I just wanted to give some...

The tutorial instructions are most likely incorrect here (I didn't make the tutorial nor have I played it recently so I don't remember the details...

I tried to implement as many of the safety features and brake continuity functionality as possible on the Class 158. Very many of the circuit...

I think Matt has touched on this previously and if I recall correctly the issue was that it makes testing a nightmare. You want the timetable to...

The ICE3 is older than you think ;) The first variant was introduced in 1999, only 10 years after the BR401 (1989). This surprised me when I...

If you haven't started braking before passing the Vr0, the operating procedure IRL is to immediately go into Schnellbremsung (emergency position...

The BR110 has not been changed in this patch.

I haven't had time to watch through all of your video but I since I did the Simugraph (physics) for the Class 158 I thought I'd touch on some of...

It's an old version of the Class 158 that is not functioning (well at least). I guess it was included by mistake.

I can neither confirm nor deny if a Vectron is in the works, or if I'm working on such a hypothetical locomotive ;) but if I were, I wouldn't be...

Incorrect. Railpool owns Vectron MS (15 kV 16 2/3 Hz, 25 kV Hz, 3 kV DC, 1.5 kV DC) variants as well ;) I guess the website just hasn't been updated.

I'm not completely sure how the external door buttons work IRL, but presumably at best they will only work with the local door switch set to...

If anyone finds that any of the features included in the OP of this thread does not work as described, please give me a heads up and I'll make...

Was there no driver assist pop-up message when you tried to notch up the throttle with the DRA still turned on? I programmed it to give a...

Thanks for the kind words, Jane! :)

This is what you need to do to open a local door on the guard panel: 1. Unlock the guard panel 2. Move the local door switch to "Open". 3. Press...

Hmm? Local doors do not have a delay. What is your sequence for opening local doors?

You shouldn't treat "approach control red" any different than "normal red" signals. Always treat a red as a red! EDIT: This is "the technique"...

The notch 3 RPM volume has been lowered by around 30% to make it match the rest of the notches (without it you can hear an abrupt change in volume...

Yes. The patch will feature the guard buzzer on the "Bell" input binding.

28. Correct coupling procedure/behaviour implemented. The BSI coupler that the Class 158 uses is automatic, but to establish a connection for the...

I am aware of how the BSI coupler works. What I explained is how it is handled in the game engine. I absolutely agree that both trains should be...

Makes me very happy to hear you say that about the Class 158. Making the engine and the transmission behave correctly was a bit of a nightmare :D....

I'm not 100% sure if the Class 158 uses the correct coupler setup, but it does use prototypical jumper cable setup (UK E021). From a quick look...

I very much agree with this suggestion (I think it should be a standard feature: if a switch is on/off or two-state then it should be a button,...

Sure. I'll update the OP but in the meantime: Wagon-------------Brake Equipment--Tare Weight------Max Gross Weight-----Empty Braked...

Update. Minimum BrH for given Vmax I have been able to get a hold of the Mbr (mindeste bremshundertstel or minimum BrH) for different maximum...

Update: Some of the information in the original post, like the calculated Vmax or the brake setting recommendations is incorrect. None of the...

Unfortunately the Class 150 uses a custom jumper cable setup that isn't compatible with the Class 158. EDIT: It might also be that their couplers...

Joe has already explained that the line speed drop is realistic. If you want to contest that statement, by all means show some evidence that it is...

I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing when a new route reuses a train from a previous DLC. Don't get me wrong, I like getting new trains as...

I wish there was a sweating emoji :D

26. Fixed wiper animations/behaviour. In the release build the wipers have the settings: Intermittent and Fast. In real life it should be Slow and...

It is not realistic. As have been mentioned before the brake blending system in the game is incorrect. You should not have both electric braking...

This is not correct. The "100% = 65 kN" sticker is for the electric brake, not the traction. If you look at the effort gauge you can see that the...

Do you have any services in mind? I'd love to try them.

Yes, I’ve been aware of it for some time. It is not a physics issue, but rather an animation issue. The wheels aren’t actually spinning in...

On the 158 you can run with TPWS in temporary isolation. I described how to do this in the ”bits and bobs” thread. I still run with TPWS enabled...
