Hmm... ok. Thanks for the insight! I definitely understand the reasoning behind this, but selling it as a 1984 timetable is just plain wrong then....
I think so too. I enjoy the DTG 1998 timetable, but it's still rather bland. With more variety in the freight rolling stock and the addition of...
Some people really do call it ivory or elfenbein, but I'd say it's the minority. German Wikipedia is a good example: Searching for...
Agreed, but I think it has been done to add a little more variety to the screenshots. In my opinion, they should have gone for the blue/beige 218...
The 642 has got mechanical transmission, which is geared for a max. speed of 120 km/h. It will definitely wanna go faster travelling downhill, but...
<Pedant mode myself> Technically correct, but in German publications, forums, everyday use, both terms are being used equally. I'd even go as far...
The 218 is a lot of fun on both Hamburg-Lübeck (albeit the services itself are a bit monotonous) and Maintalbahn. But it also works quite well on...
While this would be nice as window dressing, I'd rather have a full-blown vintage version, with correct interior and all, at some point. Sure,...
RE 28034, leaving Neustadt at 18:53: When approaching Karlsruhe, the distant signal and its repeaters ahead of the main entrance signal show two...
When looking at the price, we shouldn't forget that a share of the income is gonna go to EZW, who are doing a great job in keeping these old locos...
Wooo! This month already! :cool: Price is a bit on the steep side, but I think this time it's justified. A load of work went into this pack. And...
The only two routes I'm using of those are Salzburg-Rosenheim and Maintalbahn. While the former is technically the "better" route, it tends to get...
This was the hardest for me to choose so far... Niddertalbahn, Linke Rheinstrecke and Bremen-Oldenburg are all in the top 5 of routes for me! :o...
Here I have to go for Tharandter Rampe! I just love those kind of winding routes which are interesting to navigate with all the gradient and speed...
I haven't really spent much time with Köln-Aachen yet, even with the new timetable, so I can't really judge it. Going for the underdog this time,...
The only routes I'm using of all those are Ruhr-Sieg-Nord and Main-Spessart. Both are fun, but in terms of variety and level of detail, RSN is the...
Totally. What I would love to see is a slider in the options where you can set the setup time yourself, from 0 to 5 minutes or something. So...
Simple answer: No there isn't. The community has been vocal about getting more "cold" starts in the timetables for a while now. For a "normal"...
Yeah, most likely an article about it, presenting the DLC as a whole. Hopefully it includes the price and a (soon) release date :)
Thanks for including my question Alex! :) I'm aware of the Mittenwaldbahn update released in March, and this did fix some issues like those you...
Very quiet roadmap regarding my area of interest, but that was to be expected. The 101 Expert addon for KWG came totally out of left field, surely...
Any news on the Mittenwaldbahn patch(es), that are said to be "coming soon" since... March?
Of course, it's always okay to ask :) Agreed, Mittenwaldbahn in the 80's totally beats the modern version in my opinion. I might be biased, but...
As much as I'd love that too, I'm gonna say we shouldn't get too greedy. We can count us lucky to get sooo many treats in one single DLC as it is...
Ah yes, can confirm that. Only on services started from the timetable directly it's working again. I didn't many services starting on Free Roam...
When you spawn on foot in Garmisch at 20:05, the service is waiting and can be driven by entering the n-Wagen-facing cab of the loco. See my post...
Very odd, I didn't encounter it since the last patch. And I've done multiple services on about a dozen routes since then. I'm on PC/Steam.
I just noticed something, that seems loosely related to the problem posted above: Shunting services which start with the n-Wagen facing forward...
I'd buy this one instantly! A very scenic route. And it's a diesel-only two-track main line, something that's still missing from TSW's German...
Absolutely true. In my home area, blue/beige and orient red 218 both were a common sight until around 2005, serving with silver, mint and red...
Very odd. I left Freilassing on time too, and it sure wasn't an issue of a train being right ahead of me, there was none. PZB didn't react to the...
In the faint hope of this getting fixed someday (no need to tell me how naive I am, I know...) On RE 79020 from Salzburg to München, leaving...
I have to disagree on the "drives exactly the same" issue as well. Example: There's a service on Mittenwaldbahn, to bring a rather heavy freight...
I noticed that too. In the recent weeks, when using Dynamic Weather and starting out with clear skies or light clouds, it tends to stay that way...
Regarding the Frankfurt-Fulda route: Consider my mind blown. I couldn't help myself and used a little something to be able to pass beyond route...
Let's all please not get ahead of ourselves and just wait and see how the final version is going to look like. Most definitely the one we've got...
The current timetable is set in 1998, that's correct. But TSG's upcoming E94 pack will introduce a new timetable set in 1984 for the route, since...
If we're going into that level of detail, the "Größte zulässige Geschwindigkeit" (max allowable speed) sticker between the front windows is...
I can recommend doing one of those short Gemünden to Lohr services in a BR 218... quite fun :D Nothing for people who get seasick quickly though ;)
I know, the thing hasn't properly been released yet, but I'm already very excited for it :D The addition of the clock is a great touch! But...
Something just came to my mind... I know, DTG's track record for touching on existing routes isn't very great, but here's one faint hope... With...
This. You speak my mind. So many opportunities sacrificed because of an artificial, self-imposed deadline. Many, many times I've seen requests...
Thanks so much for bumping this thread, I haven't seen it before! Looking at what lies hidden and dormant on some of those routes leaves me...
Crazy how often things like this happen nowadays. Another fine display of quality control, or rather a lack thereof. But still, I'll take it as a...
Oh that looks beautiful :love: The blue is a bit too bright perhaps, but that may depend on the lighting. Can't wait to get my hands on this baby :D
Where did you get that information from? If true, this would confirm my suspicions and also make my day :love:
For me, it often depends on my current mood at the time. Also I like to set the weather to fit the real one outside, adds a little bit of...
Busy morning hour at Heldenbergen-Windecken station! Late 90's, hence the mix of liveries. [IMG] Route: Niddertalbahn Vehicles: DB BR 628.2, DB...
li150special Funny, I've got an almost identical picture myself :D But gotta admit, yours is superior :) Anyway, gonna put another of my own...
Just noticed something about this distant signal, right outside of Kaiserslautern. It's not a repeater, but doesn't have a PZB magnet. Regardless...
