If you compare the sound of the Class 66 and the SD70ACe you can hear that the prime mover sounds very similar, it just has a different pitch and...
Textures are only sometimes realistic. Other times they are composites of similar types of wagons or the artist have used fictional/inferred...
I'll check when I get home if I have it written down but based on some pictures I found it seems to have a KE-GP-A brake (automatic load sensing)...
Like Matt mentioned in the stream I was going to make a thread/document that detailed each service and what train formation is used. Unfortunately...
Nice info! Btw, (and maybe you meant this), but the BR143 in DRA has Hohe/Niedrige Abbremsung implemented in R-brake ;)
Has anyone tested the BR143 after the update? It should be possible to get traction now when the brake cylinder pressure is ≤ 1.2 bar.
Thank you! I'm currently making a document with all the freight services on the route described (i.e. at time xx:xx there is an intermodal train...
Yeah, I've noticed that too. Not sure if there is a good fix for it that doesn't degrade performance though (I think that is the reason for the 0...
Typo! Thanks for catching it.
The freight consists included on the route are found in my signature (Spreadsheet). Hopefully there are no mistakes, since I created them, but...
That's a good point. I was thinking that safety wise you would have a longer distance to stop, but you may of course still get a penalty brake...
Very interesting regarding the local speed restrictions! Unfortunately for us, it get's trickier when the Vmax of the train is far lower than the...
Previously the yellow needle was incorrectly showing the "EQ reservoir pressure" rather than the brake pipe pressure. I think this is fixed in the...
I have been in contact with two very knowledgeable people in the German railway industry, regarding both driving freight trains and also the...
Like I said, the BR143 was not the intended traction for that train, but it's nice that the possibility is there :) Regarding the train in the...
The 2700t "monster train" was actually based on this train: [MEDIA] with some slight modifications (partly because the actual wagons used in the...
There are a ”few” more freight services being added soon. I’ll have to update the list of trains in the thread. You can however find them in the...
Because if DTG (or another developer) has to prioritize, I want them to know what the community prioritizes. If you could select everything the...
There are many things that make you feel more or less immersed in the simulated world of TSW. It's hard to both define immersion and to name the...
You're video lacks a timestamp and the length of the video is over 3 hours long, i.e. most people won't sift through that. You can redirect people...
A "pro" tip for those that don't want to wait 10+ minutes but at the same time want realistic waiting times: when you're stopped waiting for the...
I use Hilfssteuerung (AFB to "On" and then use auxiliary control to notch up) when accelerating to low speed limits (40-60 km/h) when starting...
"Good enough" will ultimately depend on the Fahrplan/Bremstafel. As a rule of thumb, wagons that can run loaded at 120 km/h will have a load...
The overspeed is prototypical on shorter trains with a high setting on the force/Zugkraft selector. Regarding the dynamic brakes, this is not...
Iirc the old BR143 does not have a brake key. Another way to verify it is the new BR143 (and this check is 100% accurate) is to go into the engine...
That doesn't make sense to me since the BrH is literally the quantity used to measure brake performance. If only the brakes are what limits the...
Based on my earlier post that I quoted above the BR185 + Laaers train should probably be able to achieve 120 km/h on the main line and 110 km/h...
I vehemently disagree. If the real vehicle sounds like a croaking frog, then I want the TSW vehicle to sound like a croaking frog ;)
[ATTACH]
Are you referring to the quote "For wagons carrying the * * and * * * signs, RUs shall define the necessary rules for the correct formation of the...
Yes, you're correct. I didn't catch that. "***: Maximum load in t (tonnes) for wagons authorised to run in trains up to 120 km/h with a brake...
If it contains "SS" at the end of the name it can run at 120 km/h in a loaded configuration (not necessarily at max gross weight though). Only one...
I'm quite sure. Don't ask me how I know though :D EDIT: It's easy to test though. Take the Habbiins-train and perform a brake test with the...
Hehe, gotcha :)
Wait, now I'm confused :D Are you saying that in Lange Lok, no matter what the BrH is, the PZB Zugart is forced to U?
If all of the wagons are set to "G", for example on older/special wagons that only have G-brakes, then you need to use PZB U. EDIT: In this...
For those that might not know where all the relevant switches are, I thought I'd describe where to find them below. Locomotive GPR-selector. If...
Technically all the information needed should be in the original post, described in the example trains, because the example trains just so happen...
I never answered your question before. Fortunately for the current version of the timetable the example trains I listed in the OP should cover...
Good work! Unfortunately I don't have access to the Vmax for different BrH (or Mbr for different Vmax), for freight trains, on the route. If that...
Gotcha. I think you're right about how TSW measures the distance. Otherwise it would mean that basically every locomotive is almost 2 meters too...
Not this take again... DTG is not a clone of N people that are distributed across different projects and can all perform the same task. If DTG is...
Are you sure about this? The BR143 has 16640 mm "Länge über Puffer" or "length over buffers".
The length numbers printed are buffer to buffer. I don't think this is how the length is measured in the game/briefing window. Regarding the mass...
Separate names with a comma.
