Fair enough :) I just wanted to make it clear because the UK has these automatic magnets(?) for opening MCBs, while Germany has no such system....
Not in Germany. As per the rules, you have to manually open the MCB according to the trackside signs. The automatic MCB opening on the Vectron is...
You wouldn’t happen to be running on Vorarlberg or Dresden-Riesa? Sounds to me like you ran past one of these signs:...
Can you record a video for us? I can’t make heads or tails of what you’re actually describing.
For as much grief as DTG are getting, I don't get what this thread is about. There's nothing in those pictures we didn't already know. Don't mean...
Sad news, indeed. For what it’s worth, my condolences to friends and family. Still, hopefully his vision of Little Joes in TSW will come true someday.
That doesn’t really help anyone, now does it? A new HUD element does not fix that the proper instrument in the cab is unnecessarily and...
:love: Now that would be a dream come true for me. The available freeware Milwaukee Road electrified sections were enough to get me back into Open...
That would make sense since it runs counter to everything I read about operating diesel hydraulic locos in German sources :D Just to add this to...
Taihennami is mostly right for how it’s often done in real life, though that is more aggressive than you’re supposed to. Here’s how it’s supposed...
It’s working for me on PS5.
Wait, what? The Roos-t wasn’t even switched to the new standard? I thought this route was a bad effort before, but this knocks it out of the park...
I'd probably get it even if it did cost too much because I lived in Brighton for a while, but realistically, this is not the sort of route a...
I’ve never compared in-game vs real scenery on CJP. That is … certainly not favourable.
Is that the Minecraft version of the crossing?
True. It’s amazing just how successful and versatile the 140 was (or is for the few left in service today). It’s why I feel the 140 is really an...
Don’t want to derail this thread, so I’ll just point it out once. About my pet peeve… A new promotional shot and what do I see? A 185 with high...
A Br 140 is what’s sorely missing on LFR. That would give you an appropriate loco for both freight and some of the local services. That and IR...
Like the “not-just-a-reskin” Class 52 for Diesel Legends that carried over a spelling mistake.
I just think that the stars aligned against this route in particular. This is the first time DTG venture into a German branch line and we already...
By that definition, I could also get my fix in RDR2, which I very much cannot.
Not radically, but I would like to point out that we have nowhere to go. On PC, I can get my train fix from many sources - TSC, Zusi, Run8, Diesel...
Had some time on my hands, so I’d like to finish up with my findings of another WSR run. This time, it’s the full version of my partial run -...
Take a look at the global settings. I think under “player assisst” or something named similarly, there’s the option to switch between beginner,...
Thanks a bunch! I had no idea :) True, which is a major pet peeve of mine. All of the tutorials on German stock telling you to turn the highbeams...
Interesting. Any idea why the RhB has you switching on a light facing the wagons?
They do publish Zusi, so there’s certainly one product I’d highly recommend :D Very true. Curious. All I can say is that the E2 works fine on...
I agree with pretty much everything you said. One way or another, we lack the evidence to make truly substantiated comments on the 8F’s...
That’s fixed, I think. I’d say it’s quite good. The LIDAR data payed off. Now, I haven’t checked each and every house along the route, but I...
Absolutely worth it. The vintage rolling stock is fantastic and the scenery is lovely. There are some signalling issues, a visual problem with...
I can give you that. Lukas said three things over the course of the stream. A route releasing next year will probably be his favourite in TSW. He...
Had some time this evening and I come back with mixed results. Didn’t have enough time for testing + full run, so I went for testing + partial...
The table on the side of the car shows 120 if empty.
lcyrrjp, what is it with the two of us posting simultaneously? :D Interesting idea with 50/0 etc. I’ll add that to my tests on WSR.
lcyrrjp, a.paice, interesting thoughts, both of you. I also didn’t consider that the slow speeds might impact our damper-method. That’s my...
I’m gonna go get the popcorn. Does anyone want something from the corner store?
Lovely run, lcyrrjp. Thanks for all of the details on technique. Are 8Fs actually allowed to go that fast? I tried looking it up in the past and...
I’ve come back with reports from WSR in my 8F :) First off, I did the same run as a.paice in free roam with 25 on the dampers and I’ve brought my...
The pantos are linked to the different systems the Vectron can run on. You only have one panto to use, the others are for other systems, so...
I think I have to agree with many voices here that the route didn't really catch me. The new DMU doesn't interest me all that much. I think the...
It was such an odd decision to do most of the stream in German to me. Who was the stream for, actually? Those not speaking German barely got more...
No. They only said that RSN’s 363 subs in. No further comment. It was an interesting experience for me as a German. I get why they did it, but I...
The auxiliary control has nothing to do with a cab car. It’s just there in case the automatic tap changer fails. The same switch was also used to...
Just to clarify, the situation is as follows: The blue livery (usually called ocean-blue-beige in Germany) was the main livery of the Bundesbahn...
As far as the mechanical side is concerned, it’s 40km/h. However, if you pass into a potentially occupied section, you’ll have to drive on sight....
I’d say it’s worth it in a sale. The line is beautifully done but the rolling stock is not all that great anymore. Haven’t been in the green 47 in...
a.paice Lovely, glad to see I’m not the only one interested in the 8F. Thank you for your reports. I’ll have a go as well once I’ve got time. I...
I’m on Playstation so I can tell you all about Sony’s stubbornness - no new assets allowed whatsoever. That means no quests, no voice acting, no...
Can you record a video for us?
There very much is public information and tutorials (both video and written) available on the net (e.g. the tutorial by tygerways#2596 as linked...
Separate names with a comma.
