Back to the OP: the 577m displayed in the HUD is telling you that there is a painted, permanent 60 km/h limit sign (called an Lf7 in DB...
Because I'm lazy, here's a cut-and-paste from Wiki. Short version- it's the electric equivalent of shifting gears:...
If TSW is anything like TS20XX, then the speed limits displayed in the HUD are permanently attached to sections of track, as are the numbers on...
TOCs, like all big companies, are not monoliths: they are a bunch of different departments, which are in theory all pulling in the same direction...
^This. Even the Germans can have trouble keeping a busy section on time, especially if one little thing upsets a crowded schedule (like, say, a...
DX12 certainly improves performance, at least on my machine, even though officially it isn't supported. And it's well established that the Livery...
Thanks, guys. I followed your advice and bought RSN and the 155, to get in before the end of the Steam sale even if I have months of unplayed...
It also would connect with the existing Schnellfahrstrecke Aachen-Koln; in fact it would be very cool to be able to run the R9 Rhein-Sieg Express...
"type -DX12 into the box and confirm." "And confirm?" I get the box and can enter the command, but there is no "confirm," "apply," "OK" or...
True enough- but then, how often and for how long to German ICEs run at those speeds? Same basic issue: the track can't handle them.
Also: it's difficult to refer to a video mid-game! If I'm fumbling around trying to find a particular switch, or remember which PZB speed limit...
I have a thing for DB - most of my TS20xx routes were German. Currently I have the default Schnellfahrstrecke Koln-Aachen and the TSW1 default...
Pretty- but you do realize the US does have HSTs? The 350 km/h (218 mph) Avelia Liberty - built by Alstom, the same as the Duplex and other TGVs....
For now, the same clumsy workaround as the GWE fueling issue: relaunch the scenario until you get the "right" version of the train.
Yep. For example, to set up multiple locos in SPG, the manual tells you to set the MU2A valve.... but nowhere tells you what it is or where to...
Yes, IF by "scenarios" we are talking about something out of the ordinary, not just a routine Point A to Point B timetable run with a couple extra...
Another argument for a) comprehensive manuals - it's inconceivable to me that the TSW2 manual does not include ANY keyboard map - and b) detailed...
That strikes me as an excellent suggestion to raise at the new Q&A- have the roadmap include assigned priorities.
Sheesh. There are only so many coders and so many man-hours. Don't you get that if you re-assign a programmer to work on A, he has to stop...
The ICE trains are EMUs, not locos-and-coaches. The power system is distributed through the consist; they are designed to work as a unit. Where...
Would definitely buy *any* historical German trains and routes, esp. from Era III/IV. But would REALLY love to see the Ammergaubahn (pre its 2007...
YMMV indeed. My rig, for whatever reason, renders TAA smoothly with few artifacts and no tearing, while FXAA is a veritable snowstorm of random...
The repeater. And you're right, the 60 could apply just to the crossover (it doesn't last very long)-- but I swear I can't find a 60 speedboard or...
Couldn't possibly be worse than the one we just got rid of.
Actually, Callum, that signal isn't the problem. The problem develops before that signal, just after the advance signal warning of it. And,...
The scenario "Aachen Turnaround"
Matt makes a very good practical point, which apparently mirrors real-world DB policy: do 5 km/h under the PzB book speed limit. In other words,...
"If there is a green/yellow aspect without the speed, if my understanding is correct, it means that is like a "default" speed restriction of 40...
Err, didn't you mention that the throttle becomes nonfunctional?
Approaching Stolberg westbound. The posted line speed is 110km/h. There are no further speed boards nor PzB speed indicators (until you get into...
Thanks, worked like a champ! Unfortunately, though,. my old avatar and medals etc didn't transfer.
Okay: Last year I got TSW1 from the Microsoft Store rather than Steam. I just now purchased TSW2 via Steam (the only PC option). But, it turns...
There are a ton of tutorials on repainting rolling stock, and I've done my first livery changeover. But while all the tutorials cover the...
Yes. And I am clearly getting the yellow outline of a track section floating 1-2 meters above the actual track, but well below the catenary.
1- Where can one find actual DB timetables? All I can get via Google are websites trying to sell me tickets, and not a classic, y'know,...
And now we are getting back to the original topic: I want to do just that, plant a speed board at the appropriate place, but it can't be done...
Yeah, THAT one. Poor implementation, which should be (but probably won't be) patched. The solution is to manually click on the loading chute...
Then there are scenarios where the points to be set manually are all along the route, often after multiple instructions so you don't know what the...
Because you have NO WARNING of the speed decrease. You only become aware of it when the Zs3 is close enough to be read, by which time it's too...
EXACTLY. It would be nice to use it when the game IS paused- TSW does that.
From a paused state?
I get what you're saying, but it would seem to violate the way TrainSim's HUD works in all other cases- which is to put up a speed flag at every...
Oh, and a big one- although easy enough to implement. Give us access to the 2D map from the pause menu, like TSW does. I really hate trying to...
Lack of Standard scenarios- or, rather, why cannot each Career scenario have an unscored Standard clone? It wouldn't, it seems to me, be very...
"That is because German Signalling is a Speed based system The Signal says go at 40kph From The Signal - not where the Speed changes - even if...
Yes, I know there is. But there is no corresponding 40kph flag in the HUD route profile display.
Thanks!
Looking for this classic Bundesbahn locomotive. Can't find one from DTG- is there 3rd party one (just want the rolling stock, don't want to buy a...
Okay, here's one that WOULDN'T require massive reprogramming and possibly breaking other stuff: Give us an emergency-brake detent! It is no end...
749006, look at your screenshot of the HUD again. It shows the 40 tag at the signal after the platform, but no hint that there's a 40kph Zs3 at...
Separate names with a comma.
