Unlike DBAG, NS in the Netherlands is among the European train operators that deploy conductors on local services, and this is because of......
vmeck like foggy#2817 said, signs, passenger information systems (the displays in the trains) and station announcements will be in Dutch....
Yes, backdating the route would allow the ICM to be used, as long as they're resistor based units and not the chopper based units. I've modified...
Currently, NS doesn't offer cross border services with their own rolling stock, with the exception of the combined Amsterdam - Berlin intercity...
There are six main rail border crossings between the Netherlands and Germany. The ones that you're missing are: Hengelo - Bad Bentheim Venlo -...
You can now use an AI to build you a 3D model. You only have to export it to use in UE and you're good to go. for those minor objects, like vans,...
One of the more active Dutch train drivers on Youtube, meesterpaul2, has released a new cabview video today for Zwolle-Groningen, recorded just a...
The departure signal, a white light marked with a sign that says "V" (for Vertrek - which is Dutch for "Depart"). isn't always present. You'll...
It's great to hear NS is being cooperative - I imagine it's very hard to do this without them. Not so much the route, as you can rebuilt that with...
There are a few and infrequent freight services between Onnen and the Ruhr area in Germany. Usually consisting of kettle cars, sub coal pellet...
You're confusing the 185 and 186. A 185 would catch fire in spectacular fashion, as it's not compatible with the 1500 V DC power that's on the...
In real life, the conductor waits for the white light marked "V" (on the platform) to come on. This is the departure signal. He then turns his...
There's not a lot to choose from. Other engines struggle to load assets on wide viewplanes too, perhaps not as bad as UE does. But other than MS'...
The hitching an stuttering is caused by the way the world is streamed into RAM - Unreal Engine is notoriously bad at this, which is why other...
The BR193 in DB Cargo livery would fit the dutch route well as a freight loco. They would have to add ATB to make it realistic ofcourse, but they...
From a game programming standpoint, ETCS isn't that far off from TVM (French high speed safety system, already built for the TGV route in TSW) and...
If (big if!) more routes should follow, my money is on something busier. Matt has remarked that this first route was chosen because it's an easy...
Honestly - i don't think DTG can fix the stutters. It's something that's a part of all Unreal Engine based games, caused by assets for the next...
Compared to other countries, NS has seriously cut back on train cleansing. The trains run all day, and only get wet-cleaned at night. If at the...
I bet they smell a lot nicer in that scale ;)
Perhaps baldness is a side effect from all that sunlight coming in from all directions all day while driving that loco... ;)
The problem with coupling Dutch trains is that the procedure is different for each stock type (there is no general procedure, like DB has for...
There is a difference between those two cars. The extra car has one powered bogie, giving a four car ICMm six powered axels instead of four. This...
I stand corrected!
DTG could easily expand the services on the route by releasing a few repaints (or the community could do it). Shunting can be done with a...
Since the SNG is included with the route, the depicted era will have to be after 2019. So huge construction pit it is ;) But some artistic...
Granted, NS will have had some wishes. And some sacrifices would have to be made. So clean trains, no graffiti, and not being stabbed or punched...
Also, for better immersion, sound effects of a sticky floor when walking through the carriages should be added. And gum on seats, and stains from...
I know, that's what I said in the exact sentence that you're quoting ;)
In Germany, "BR" stands for "Baureihe" (German for "Class"), where in the UK it once stood for "British Rail". So in the UK, although you could...
"Dis is de class four tausand, olso known as de kaploapah, in de blew yellow livery of de dush nashenal railways, NS. Lets wok too de front of de...
*insert belgenmop here* :)
But again, only a small portion of that route is on Dutch soil, and the stock is all DB and not NS. As a nod to the Dutch route building scene...
None of the Dutch-German border crossings are doable at the moment, because all of them lie in non-NS areas. Bad Nieuweschans is Arriva only, so...
[IMG] Sorry - couldn't resist! ;)
While that might work if you use your machine to run TSC exclusively, it's not if you use the machine for other games or apps too. NVidia's...
Australia and the Netherlands+Belgium have about the same number of inhabitants, so statistics will likely show about the same number of railway...
As a long-time Train Simulator Classic player, I've not changed any of the key bindings, as I've been used to them for well over a decade :) I...
But asking $70 (PS5) for it seems a bit excessive...
The Dutch freeware route HSL Zuid Amsterdam - Rotterdam - Antwerp is equipped with custom ETCS beacons for the high speed sections of the route....
I will never understand this whole "DTG is greedy" thing. Take a look at FIFA (or "EA FC" as it's now called): now that's a cash grab. Re-use the...
The Twindexx is the 445.0 (also 446), while the KISS is 445.1. Confusing, yes. It's not like they'd be running out of numbers anytime soon. Fun...
Dirty windows is very prototypical of DB though ;)
TSC actually runs fine on macOS using Crossover. On a 8-graphics core M1 MacBook Air with 16 GB RAM you get around 30 fps with everything max'd...
That's right, the two converted 143s were not numbered in the 112 range, but as 114.101 and 114.301. Here's the 114.101 (former 143.120). Notice...
It's the gearing, and also the pantographs. The original Reichsbahn BR 212 was designed for 160 km/h, and one prototype was built in the late...
Oh yes. At least the VR one does - I assume this relase has the same sound.
The ICE1 was sent by ship, together with a Swedish hi-speed train.
[Morgan Freeman voice] "But that was the last thing that MoRoN22 ever posted. Other players have tried to recreate the scenario that MoRoN22...
Update: The bridge won't reopen until 2028, and will be rebuilt into a combined lift- and swivel bridge. The bridge will remain open for most of...
