Btw, the Bremse Lösen button does not work prototypically on BR143 at the moment. It should vent the brake cylinder and not increase back when the...
Gotcha. Well the BR155 has not had any work on it in quite some time (afaik) so it will not have a lot of the new features, unfortunately. It’s...
From my memory, according to what the BR143 driver I was in contact with said, the Zugkraft slider only affects the brakeforce of the E-brake when...
Is this on Riesa - Dresden or another route?
You're either radiating away the heat generated on the locomotives or in each axle. The difference is that in the former scenario you only have a...
Like TrainSim-Matt mentioned in the streams, since the trains are so long you have to really plan ahead what you want to achieve. 1. Don't crest...
This is why attention to detail is important. You're taking control of a very short train with 2 AC-locomotives. In notch 8 you have a maximum...
This new information actually makes a lot of sense to me. I asked a Swedish freight train driver that I know whether G/G is ever used in Sweden....
Thank you for the feedback! The timetable was handed to me but it's definitely very possible that I mixed up a title, or perhaps they are all the...
Hey, I just made the thread that was promised before, albeit in a slightly compromised way. I haven't really been keeping up with this thread so I...
As you by now know, with the release of the Meißen branch TrainSim-Matt did a major overhaul of the timetable for the route. That overhaul...
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...
