I can give some input on this from the German side. What I’m about to tell you is based on an article I read in which a fireman spoke about his...
Same as the lovely people above me. The thread is certainly not dead - neither in interest nor in new runs coming but currently life is keeping me...
OldVern, like Jpantera said, I often see a digital clock in a corner of the screen but I don’t know if that’s standard. If that fails, you could...
I reckon we need a 120 for the cab car to come. It won’t be a free update for the 101 DLC, obviously. They also won’t release it standalone...
Given your explanations, I wager it won’t account for much when I say that I’d love more vintage routes with F-units and early GPs and SDs -...
breblimator, welcome back, long time no see :D You’ll only need Niddertalbahn. While it’s not well advertised, when Vorarlberg was released, a...
Oh, that’s interesting. The last timetable was “only” around 320km of continuous running, I think. I’ll have to check that out. Thanks! Nice to...
Tell me about it. My love for the Einheitseloks is no secret and those old cabs are are a true nuisance. Only the facelifted E 10s have a HD cab,...
Pretty sure that’s an impossible signal aspect. Hp0+Sh1 implies you’re a shunting move while Vr0 implies you’re a train move. As such, what button...
solicitr, x-Wagen are another thing in Germany (unfortunately link to German Wikipedia only since there’s no English article). What they have to...
Pretty sure that I’m legally obliged to agree at this point! :D Same here. Quite busy right now so it’s difficult to find the time for a proper...
Thanks, noir. That’s a very good point I completely neglected: As the freight cars have quite realistic braking performance in TSW at this point,...
noir, excellent suggestion! I’d love all of these improvements.
As I said before:
Any restriction under 100km/h can trigger a 1000Hz monitoring and should be treated as such. If you encounter any speed reduction announcement...
You mean like on the 155? No, they don’t have such systems. The real 103s had an AFB-like system originally but that was disabled due to various...
In real life, no. The couplers in the front are only for emergency purposes. How TSW handles them, I don’t know. There should be a button in the...
Curious. Has the route changed much in the meantime? Not that DTG are strangers to bending time a bit - the 103 has an early 2000s cab on a 90s...
How so? I was under the impression that the route and timetable are both set in 2013 or thereabouts.
a.paice, those pictures are amazing! What a find :)
Depends on the area. The Ruhr area quickly amassed a significant number of them for the heavy ore and coal trains.
I’ll be honest - just being able to stand up and walk around my train, through the engine rooms (on those few locos that have them), through the...
Those were the test trains for the power cars. Makes sense that it doesn’t work in TSW out of the box since they had to be modified to couple to...
That's a rather vague description of what you mean but yes, she is widely known and still in use. [IMG] Source
Pretty sure the upcoming 111 is his work too based on the few sounds in the teaser.
The World does seem to be getting smaller, at least as far as 1st party releases go. Steam seems dead unless 3rd parties save it and the US is...
Very much looking forward to our next German vintage loco - the Br 111. That alone is reason enough for me to get this route :)
That 111 cab sure is looking lovely and inviting.
They would allow you to change ends properly and open the door for more detailed cold starts. Both of those are things I’d want to see if these...
As much as I’d love that, I think we all know that it’s gonna be the Produktfarben IC coaches.
Still sounds exciting. Looking forward to what you come up with when/if it is released :)
I’m not entirely sure. From what I understand, the way it’s supposed to work is that you set a target speed via the speed selector, then activate...
...which is so obvious on the WSR goods trains. You can either stick the cut-off in the 40-50s and have the 4F work while you kill the kettle of...
I'd be up for it. Maybe they would finally bring us more engine rooms along with proper cold starts. I'm always interested if there's a chance to...
Manual firing is certainly rearing its head right about now. It went from coming soon™ to "we're taking our time to get it right" to radio silence...
As I’ve said multiple times, I’m far more of a freight person than passenger. That said, I’m from Germany so I can’t really complain in terms of...
“We’re not directly doing anymore active development in terms of steam but obviously we’re welcoming 3rd parties and we support 3rd parties that...
Getting that resolved would be great. The ATSF F7s are desperate for some passenger coaches - even if the coaches themselves are incorrect for the...
Thanks a bunch! :) Just had a run on AVL and it’s so much more enjoyable when you have these firsthand accounts and know that what you’re doing is...
(emphasis mine) That is an extremely slippery slope though. By that definition, all the game would need is a floating cab since everything else is...
amtraknick1993, thank you very much for your detailed post. There's nothing better than first-hand reports and instructions. I've got a few small...
Last update on the 218 was from New Year’s Eve.
The 104 and new freight cars with a timetable overhaul are certainly enough for one pack and to get me excited! I agree though - getting a BR...
Ok, I have to ask. What are these "bing bongs"? Some sort of jingle for announcements or something?
That's matching my first-hand experience. The closer the job position is to driving trains, the more you encounter enthusiasts.
Good catch with the Falns. They're some of my favourite freight cars in real life and TSW's are in desperate need of an overhaul. Not getting...
I am too. I don't really know anything about Japanese railroading, but the landscapes I've seen online and the episodes about it on...
That would be amazing.
Very excited about this, indeed.
Very excited about the Br 111 making her debut in TSW as well as the first Japanese route. And of course BR Green on PFR was long overdue.
