I think you're right. It does look like the el/pn selector changes stuff on the TRAXX locos.
Thank you, breblimator, for making this challenge. It was really fun and you've made me a "HUD-free believer". Before I didn't have the F5 or...
If you mean that it takes 5 minutes to release the brakes after you have made maybe a 1-1.5bar application then I feel very confident in saying...
I think EMUs can be excluded for the reasons you mentioned, afaik there are no German EMUs with separate E-brake and air brake handle. It seems...
Yes, that part surprised me since I have heard from different people to use the blended braking. In terms of energy efficiency, using up E-brake...
Thank you! I have a notepad document with weights and brake weights but I found a link that pretty much has all my data already:...
Glad to hear the video worked! "I have a lot to learn" Don't we all hehe.:D
In adverse weather conditions such as in this scenario it is important to brake early. Its much better to be slow and have to creep up to a signal...
The only context I have is that I got the quote from a Swedish driver on a Swedish train forum in discussion about German trains (more...
I've been running without any HUD (except km to next station which I don't think you can get rid of?) for a while now. The beauty of German...
Thank you. I couldn't find sggmrss in the table of brake weight's I've accumulated but I do have brake weights for the sggmrs wagon which is the...
Excited to try it out! I'm currently on 25 completed timetable runs with the BR101. It's an addictive loco :D
Haha :D I guess this is what I do when I'm bored lol. I also do it because I think the fixes aren't that difficult for DTG to implement (I'd say...
Can someone that owns RRO confirm whether the new freight wagons that are included are the Sdggmrss 6-axle twin-container wagons with Jacobs...
I already made a thread with my results of testing (primarily the brakes) on German passenger trains and locos in a previous thread in the...
I wonder who owns the raw recordings from the VR BR185/BR145 etc, maybe it would be worthwhile for DTG to buy/license it.
The BR146 sounds absolutely atrocious but I wouldn't say that the BR185 sounds very good either (better of course but still not really realistic)....
I was bored and did some brake testing on a flat stretch of track for different German passenger trains and locos. After I measured the stopping...
That's why I wrote "update" and not "upgrade" ;)
I found this cab ride of Nuremberg - Stuttgart. I'm not sure if all the IC1 trains have been updated to IC2/ICE4 but perhaps the section Stuttgart...
I would have to agree. I tested the BR101 against values calculated from UIC documents and showed my results in this thread. As you can see from...
This route would be fantastic in TSW2.
Not *that* limited imo. You can run each train realistically in one direction (and unrealistically the other), but then you can run some special...
I love the BR101, it is one of my favorite German locomotives and easily my favorite loco in TSW2. Unfortunately they seem to be nearing...
With "high speed" I meant the upper region of what PZB allows (130-160 ish), I should've been more clear. Thanks for the informative answer!
Hmm. Was this on PC? When I pass the yellow/yellow Vr0 signal before Mülheim the yellow 1000 Hz indication never lights up in the cab, but I get...
I can give an interesting service as well: IC 2255 - Duisburg Hbf - Bochum Hbf. It has quite a few red signals due to (I think) trains going in...
Yeah, I did some calculations and since the BR101 has electric brakes step 6 should be sufficient. I think the electric brakes are what makes the...
I'm more familiar with Swedish trains that have in-cab signaling (called ATC) that will give advance warning sooner than 1 km before a red signal...
TS2021 has the capability of demanding two different speed limits, one for freight and one for passenger, it also has the capability order speeds...
"I can't really "pre-release" the brakes before setting off again? Thats where the problem is, if you ask me." You'd have to talk to Adtranz for...
To me, more realism is always better, but I'm a geek who likes study sims :D. I also wonder if DTG would be too worried about steam reviews, it...
Thanks, Breblimator and Lamplight! Yes, in-game default is R on the wagons and the locomotive. Interesting point. It is true that the magnetic...
I've done some testing with the BR101 (7 wagons) on a test track to measure performance and compare it against nominal/real world values, for fun....
I think I noticed this "bug" that you mentioned now when doing some testing with the BR101 in scenario planner. Sometimes when starting the train...
Check out the "BR 101 Bugs and Errors List"-thread, the locomotive automatically applies full service pressure when the train is stopped/very...
Thanks for the info! (1): Yeah, that's what I guessed. It is similar to how the Swedish X2000 trains work (which I'm more familiar with). The...
I have two questions for you Maik: 1. Does BR101 feature "blended braking"? I notice that sometimes the brake cylinder will be 0 even though the...
Thanks for the answers, Maik! I could almost sense your presence in the quality of the BR101, reminiscent of the old ExpertLine locos, did you...
I've just tested the BR101 with 7-cars and these are my thoughts: 1. Can someone confirm that the Hohe Abbremsung light should be on at all...
Perhaps a more involved patch, but preferable imho: Add extra power on trains when weather is adverse. You could control the amount of extra power...
Not in terms of physics. Everything is relative of course, so compared to more arcade style games the physics is well modelled but in absolute...
I think I have seen similar graphs. For old DC locomotives the dynamic brake effort will be linear up to some speed of maximum effort and then...
I noticed this as well, but there might be some (non-bug) reasons for this: 1. Speeds on Clinchfield are so low that there is very little air...
I have a question for Matt: Have the physics of the brakes in terms of the air brake curve as a function of speed been changed for Clinchfield...
Specs: CPU: i7 7700K at 4.6 Ghz GPU: RTX 2070 Super I've installed TSW2 on an SSD but that mostly affects load times and maybe reduces the stutter...
I know there have been a few timetable mods for the German routes to allow different types of consists, most notably those mods made by...
Another thing I wish they would let us control on the German locomotives is the air brake application rate (similar to Goods - Pass timings on the...
Can someone confirm whether they have updated the brakes to reflect the brake weights printed on the wagons, or do all freight wagons brake the...
Thanks everyone!
