I dug around a bit a found a nice picture that shows the colour difference. [ATTACH] Picture Credit Comparing her red against the traffic red...

Halfway… sort of. I’ve never seen it clearly defined anywhere but as far as I know, the first 3 101s had the traffic red design with the white...

Look no further than my signature. There is not some other limit, there are various other limits to consider (granted, TSW doesn't tell you about...

lcyrrjp, sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Life happens and I got distracted. That was a good attempt. Around the same time, I had made a...

I think late 80s was already announced. (emphasis mine)

Yeah, sounds correct to me :)

I think you need to do this yourself in-game (at least for the n-Wagen KaKo).

…in the 218, yeah - you put the one in your cab in release. Along the whole consist, you need one direct brake in release on the loco and one...

If this does mean an 86 or 87, I’d be over the moon. Don’t think I need to reiterate my love of vintage electric locos on the forums at this point :)

I use the official Sony PlayStation headphones (Pulse 3D or something like that? Can’t remember) on PS5. I find the sound much improved over the...

Posting here not to clog up the feedback thread with it, but if someone wants to have some fun with shunting/local freight via free roam, there is...

As I’ve outlined in this thread, there seems to be something fundamentally wrong with the way the newer Class 66s in TSW apply power:...

If there are consist speed limits, there's nothing but research and background knowledge that will tell you. I don't think there are any such...

On Cane Creek, you should be doing 25mph with every train, I think. Especially on mountain passes in the US, I think it’s all “go as fast as...

Was just about to say this. The HUD is not inaccurate per se, it’s just crucial to remember that the HUD is showing the line speed and not the...

That’s a good call - hadn’t noticed that. It certainly feels like there is something off about notches 1-4 to me. All of them seem to give similar...

Bought this in a sale, which got me back to the 66. Could someone explain to me if it is prototypical for the 66s to max out the amps in notch 1?...

I believe so, yes. Back in the day, they would have had generators on the axles to generate electricity when steam heated.

In theory, yes, but not if you’re driving prototypically. The coaches need electricity for all kinds of things (PIS, lights, AC, …). We have no...

This is a complicated topic but very rewarding to engage with. In real life, you’d be handed a timetable that tells you how fast you can go. How...

Maik Goltz, checked again on BRO and at least on PS5, it would appear that it is not working. [ATTACH] As you can see, the indicator for it is not...

Thank you very much! I'll check again on the BRO version though I could have sworn I used the BRO version in tests today before posting. That's on...

Having had another look, the 111 has it and the very recent 218 has it as well. I still don’t know what to make of it. Maik Goltz, any chance you...

German manuals for German locos do tend to be in German, I’m afraid :D

Well, freight is when the Füllstoß is especially useful due to the length of the brake pipe. When you have up to 500, 700, ... meters of pipe to...

OldVern, AmityBlight, stop giving me ideas, you two. All this talk of E18s, E94s, and 140s,… :love: I suspect it’s going to be something modern...

Pushing the driver’s brake valve past running to release (in older locos) connects the main reservoir to the brake pipe and theoretically allows...

I mean, as you said, it is precise. It’s just a perspective thing.

That’s the electric brakes being blended in. Perfectly normal.

Some developer responses to this are found from this post onwards: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/1-800-rate-my-218.82443/#post-855444

218s often run double-headed, just like we did here :D

The upper row from left to right: reverser and throttle fault transmission fault (it's on when the transmission is being filled or drained, it's...

Were you in fast gear? I think around 100 is when fast gear switches converters again. No problem then, if so. Similar to the old US diesels...

I feel like that isn’t mentioned enough. We’ve had fans turn on and off before but the louvres are a first, I think. Really, really nice.

Another reason for EBuLa/book timetables. Those will tell you.

I know that one. What a story it was :)

Had to wait for a certain loco to be released before I could do this :) The coaches are only as close as TSW lets me get since the exact ones are...

True. While Zusi is generally reliable, it does have some issues pertaining to rolling stock when you look closer. Quite a few re-used sound sets...

I might be misremembering, but I seem to recall that LFR’s 103 and 110 used to have it simulated before a subsequent patch either broke it or...

I’m genuinely confused. The steam timetable is not some what-if thing like Diesel Legends. It’s a real thing (apart from a more diverse selection...

I’m not sure if I understand you correctly. If it’s about the braking procedure, you’d throttle down from 15 to 6 slowly and carefully one (or...

As an addition, I found this post which quotes the real manual (freely translated by me for everyone's benefit): Release the brakes (on a...

It’s a modern day steam gala. What does it have to do with the 50s and compromises?

DB did buy the Br 245 though, which can do 160. They're just not very widespread given the largely electrified trackage and prevalence of DMUs.

Small correction - not pressing acknowledge violates the official rules (see Ril 483.0101, page 10, 4 (1)). Officially, any restriction below...

Different lighting systems used by DTG. Strange. I had a stint on Niddertalbahn and don’t remember the indicators being too dim.

Right under the indicators themselves, you can adjust their brightness.

I think they should be linked.

It’s the most right dial left under the driver’s desk. It’s the right one here: The one that says “U/min” (RPM) in it.
