You're under the mistaken assumption that it is a zero-sum game in development time. Different people at DTG implement features like the GP-switch...
I like your opinion (because it agrees with mine) :D
Here is the assessment instructions I referred to above [ATTACH] Maybe I can explain (at least my interpretation) of why several tests need to be...
Ah, that's nice to hear. That would mean that most intermodal trains that run on DRA (usually around 25 twins of Sggmrss/Sggns or single Sgnss 80...
Not sure if you are referring to the interactive G/P-switches? If so, plenty of people were voicing their disappointment that these were *not* in...
You are correct that sometimes the BrH will be above 100, even for freight wagons. One example is the Zacns that has BrH = (26 / 22.6 ) * 100 =...
OpenMinded I have a question for you :) If the freight train runs in G/P or LL (i.e. either only the loco in G-brake or loco + 5 first wagons),...
No problem! Most of the values I already had in a document with data I got from drivers over the years. I also doublechecked it against the values...
Interestingly, the G- and P-brake settings are both most commonly used for freight trains nowadays and passenger trains instead use a third...
Here are all the braked weight values (empty brake weight/change-over weight/loaded brake weight): Falns 183: (28t / 48t / 58t)...
If the signal has a number plate it *should* be safe to proceed, if it doesn't except a scenario ender. Also, cab signal aspects will be different.
I'm probably gonna butcher this but from my understanding this is what should happen: If the el/pn switch under the desk is in the el position...
I think that this issue might have been fixed non-visually. The HUD seems to react like it's non EP (accurately) while the visual gauges in the...
I have been told by a driver of the BR186 that the el/pn switch in the cab does not actually control whether the train uses EP-brakes or not but...
I have a faint memory of you mentioning this in the previous thread, but thanks for reminding me! :) Are there any limitations for freight trains...
Disclaimer: This thread does not confirm any new features that haven't already been announced for the upcoming DRA DLC. It is speculative and...
Maybe it is more pleasant to listen to (I kind of disagree) but I don't think it is more realistic. It's too "clean". Compare with this recording:...
Right, but I don't understand what "too strong" means. Do you mean it has too much power or tractive effort?
Seems a bit useless to make a poll but then not allow people to disagree with the thesis. What do you mean by it being too strong?
If your download speed is fast (>= 100 mpbs) then it might be faster to uninstall the game and reinstall since Steam likes to really compress the...
We'll see what happens when DRA is released :)
I had completely missed a crucial detail in your description. I thought that the heavy freight trains in the game would still be run at G-brake on...
"Too much immersion" Can there be such a thing? :D
I'd say the UK is the odd man out in this regard. In Sweden the headlights are quite bright.
Yeah, that's... not good. On one side I want to cut them some slack because they are developing 3 routes at the same time, but on the other hand...
Can someone confirm whether the 2 branches that were cut were actually announced by DTG or were only revealed by the leak? If the latter case is...
Maybe a compromise: DTG does something similar to what Virtual Railroads and 3dzug has done in TS1: give the functionality of a static EBuLa...
A few years ago I built some custom scenarios to the Chatham Mainline route for TS20XX with the aim of making "super realistic" and...
There's nothing in principle that prevents this. The physics probably has overhead for 10x speed up, maybe the dispatcher might bonk out doing...
Something that could make the freight driving more dynamic, without significantly updating the dispatcher (I think?) would be to slot in a good...
Money talks, polls walk?
I'm imagining Köln-Dusseldorf with endless stretches of sound barrier boards :D
True xD
Yeah, I buy that argument for sure. For me, I don't really care about the Meissen branch but I would've really liked the Dresden Flughafen branch...
The route, without the branches, is comparable in length to Hamburg-Lübeck or nearly 50% longer than HRR. I think it is unreasonable to call it...
Seems like the tank wagons would weigh about the same as the number I mentioned above then, since methanol has similar density as kerosene (about...
I did some research and found out that there is a chemical plant located near the railway between Riesa and Dresden called Wacker Chemie AG. In...
I missed the announcement, do you have a link? EDIT1: Nvm, found it. Yeah that's a bit disappointing, more so the lack of Dresden Flughafen...
This was one of my favorite UK routes in TS1 so I'm definitely onboard with this suggestion!
Yeah, it depends on what is most desirable. If the wagon is supposed to be simulated as the UN-number in the game (Kerosene) then imho 72-73...
Kerosene is a liquid so it is nearly incompressible. I checked the isothermal compressibility (how much the volume of the liquid is changed when...
Do you think 72.3 tonnes (gross weight) is too much for a chubby little tank wagon loaded with kerosene, like the Zacns (62,100 liters) in TSW2?
Thanks for the kind words :) Great reply! 4) This is what I thought as well, but then I looked at the model in the game. Firstly, it looks like...
Hi Richard, I already have these numbers since they are visible in the simulator :) What I am interested in is *how* loaded the real wagon is...
For the last week or so I have been trying to determine what realistic loaded weights would be for the German freight wagons. Reading the print...
Yep, they remind me of a Swedish locomotive (Rc6) that I've ridden in a few times. You can hear that the fan "spool-up" sound is quite similar....
Nice! I just tried this in a 3-wagon Dosto RB service (BR143 pulling). Not sure if I did it correctly according to your instructions but when I...
Currently the only locomotive that models variable Pass/Goods (UK equivalent of P/R or G) timings with a functioning switch is the Class 66. In...
Great! My German is not very good, could you explain what the -30% and similar values are for? Is it the percentage you decrease the braked weight...
I'm interested in the document :D Also about lower speeds than the PZB Zugart gives, perhaps you are thinking about something like this:...
