Apparently you didn't follow the main thrust of what Maik was saying - time is money. Certainly a route can be goldplated beyond belief- but...
Real life, too. As soon as you enter a block, it's occupied, and the guard signal changes accordingly.
By the way, does anyone know how individual ICE service numbers are assigned? They don't seem to have any relation to the route numbers.
However, only one train pair per day. All the other ICE 25 services originate in Hamburg-Altona or Oldenburg
At least according to this map (December 2019, the last pre-Covid map and the one nominally in effect in Matt's time period), there are just four...
Yes, but from there to Fulda and Hannover, not to the Ruhr.
One thing the game seems to be missing is AI trains that take the northern or southern branches and leave the map (in RL about 2/3 of the...
The Rio Grande were the original owners of the Cane Creek branch, until they were bought out by Union Pacific. SD40-2s would have been purchased...
At least to date, TSW doesn't model crew aside from the driver (except an idle secondman who just sits there)
This is a peculiarity of the GP38-2 (UP version) in Pen. Corr; it does not seem to happen with the CSX version or the other Sand Patch locos....
They may however tweak them, as DTG did with the UP GP38-2 in Pen. Corr. The SD40-2s could be remodeled to DRG&W spec, with UP paint!
In terms of RR timeline, CRR was bought by Seaboard Coast Line and SCL's subsidiary Louisville & Nashville in 1971, but continued to exist as an...
You also have to desaturate, and shift the hue about 10-12 points to the left. All three variables screwed up.
I have an issue with Matt's assertion for this route's timeframe being "early 80s," and Gary's that it represents CRR's "final years as an...
And as an era bridge, the SD-45s could be in Family Lines paint, used on CRR locos through the early 80s and on into the CSX era for many years...
Spotter riding the "lead" car with a radio.
Error? No. It's company policy. Those passengers had already paid for their tickets, and this way you don't have to actually carry them. Diesel...
What, second-class peasants expect tray tables and footrests? The nerve!
I'm not saying it's aliens, but... It's aliens.
The Rivet video is wrong. Now, it may work in the game, but setting the vacuum brakes and leaving them on while manipulating the dynamics is dead...
OK, folks, here it is in its pristine, sparkly-new form fresh out of Erie. Realism comes later! [IMG] [IMG] This one requires some...
Nice!
Hmm- you found the TT DTG was using... that would be an interesting read! Do you have a link? Still, the real ICE 614 has not been sitting at...
Just taking their lead from the professional polling organizations. "Which best describes your position in the coming election? A. X is a great...
As far as I can tell, the game ICE timetable is completely fictional. For example, several of the timetable services allegedly go to Dortmund- but...
You set it to Emergency first, wait for the brake pipe to drain, then you can move it on to the Shut Down position.
On which locos? I don't believe I ever have.
PayPal always worked fine in the past. It was just this weekend that something has gone wrong.
However, these obstacles don't really block the present case, SKA using 423s from HMA in place of the 422s borrowed from RRO. The timetable...
Munchen Hbf is a terminal station: all trains have to reverse out. But those services that don't terminate at Munchen don't leave the way they...
Not only might they consider it, they've done it. TS 20xx has a "Train Academy"
Okay, this is awesome. In the Class 20 Chopper, exploring the cab pops up an interaction indicator, "Hotplate." If you click on it, the game...
Interesting that the ZWS apparently is designed for a maximum of two units, and can't be daisy chained.
Works on consoles too. The basic ingredients of weathering are 1) the square gradient shape, and 2) the transparency slider. Together they can...
5-engine heads, plus pushers? Seven-loco lashups? Wow!
So the IC coaches use HEP, they don't use axle generators like the m- and n- wagen?
And flagman. Until 1980, archaic steam-era regulations required every train to carry a flagman, whose duties on diesels included reading the...
Y'all have seen this one before, but I've tweaked it to use the authentic TEE colors RAL 1001 Beige and 3004 Purpurrot. Also, since I've learned...

What part of "simulator" don't you understand?
BTW, I have read somewhere that there is a mod for the HUD accelerometer, making it readable, but it isn't on TSC. Anyone know where I can...
BTW, DTG are missing a trick not including the 218 in Hamburg-Lubeck: the things are stabled at Lubeck! (that line was not electrified until...
Do the same cab cars even work with electric and diesel locos?
You really don't get it, do you? Building TSW and its routes and locos is an order (or orders) of magnitude more difficult than TS; that means an...
If the list is based on "introduction into service" rather than "refurb/upgrade", then the EMD road switchers should be backdated to 1965.
Yup.
The Jaguar is 8 years old, and doesn't have multithreading.
It isn't DTG, it's Sony and Microsoft. They will NOT permit the sale of 'switchable' last-gen/next-gen games, where next-gen owners have access...
This must be one place where XBox players have an edge over PC! The PC version doesn't use a minus sign, we just get the percentage, uphill or down.
HMA places brutal demands on RAM and CPU largely because of the insane number of switches and signals, all of which the game has to track and...
Separate names with a comma.
