I live in Groningen, so I thought I'd share some comparisons to the real life route. I mostly know the nortern part of the route pretty well. All...
No, you can't use ATB, because you can't reach the required speed with ATB on. Without the bonus points, gold or platinum is impossible.
There is currently no line where the ICM may drive 160 kph. Most lines in NL are maxed at 140. Main exception is HSL (Hogesnelheidslijn) where...
No, it is indeed a DB Cargo loco now. Originally NS Cargo, and around since before the merger with DB Cargo (to form Railion) and the renaming to...
Regular freight these days (not even every day) is tankers from Evonik in Delfzijl to Hagen Vorhalle yard (For the Evonik plant there). Special...
You are right, this is what it is IRL. Wat I would like though, is a better recreation of these services. Delivery of the wagons from Delfzijl (to...
Sorry, I haven't used formation builder at all, so I wouldn't know....
There is no actual 6 car variant. When the trains are longer IRL they mostly use two sets: 3+3, 3+4, 4+4. The 4 car variant isn't in the game (yet).
IRL these freight services have a return journey on the same day (and only a few days per week). Would be nice if these could be included. The G6...
If they can apply this level of quality to say, Frankfurt S-Bahn, that would make a great piece of software.
DDZ add on for Zwolle-Groningen :-)
No, your progress is saved within your player profile. I install and uninstall DLC's all the time, and my previous progress is still visible.
This is not a DLC issue, but sometimes happens with routes and trains. Sometimes it is fixed when restarting the game, other times re-installing...
True, I don't expect it too to be honest. Just a wish of mine :-). And for your other suggestion: the 'Noordelijke nevenlijnen' would be great to...
Groningen station is depicted really well given its current state (actually, about 6-9 months ago), while it is being overhauled. You can see the...
I know the route well IRL and can confirm that especially the stations were modelled really well. Good use of unique assets here.
I have two services available. Maybe that has something to do with the other layers (I have all of them installed).
Why would that be less jarring?
For the G6 to show up, you also need to have Rhein Ruhr Osten installed.
In timetable mode, after you select the loco you see the list of drivable services. There is a 'layers' button next to the search bar.
They are also not always correct. The time on the analog one doesn't always match the digital one /TSW system time.
Dresden-Riesa DB BR 146 [ATTACH]
Preston-Carlisle Class 101, class 87, class 08 [ATTACH]
That would be really nice. I was there last week, watching the trains go by on the mainline and checking the freight yard for activity :-)
You also need spirit of steam to have all class 08 timetables.
I could agree with you on the actual points you make regarding the game. But that last sentence is totally unnecessary. No need to insult people...
Matt said in a roadmap stream that NS were really cooperative as licensor. This should increase the chance of more Dutch stuff. More so as other...
You could re-use the Stadler FLIRT that is in game for some of them :-) or isn't that in livery designer like the rest of the Rivet trains?
This line is operated by Keolis/Blauwnet with Stadler FLIRTS. Populating Zwolle (Blauwnet) and Groningen (Arriva) with these trains would make...
I praise myself lucky that I have no interest whatsoever in Livery Designer, Scenario planner or formation designer. I just want to play timetable...
Except maybe Berninalinie. They did a good job there IMHO.
Fair. The dynamic weather system could indeed need another method of randomisation. Maybe more like real life. Although that may mean that weather...
Passenger behaviour in general. It varies from route to route, plenty examples where they got this right. So it should be possible for all routes.
If that's a problem for you, why play with dynamic weather at all? Just set custom weather to clear and you're good.
Does it still do that? I observed a few times this week that it was no longer the case.
Passenger behaviour improvement is visible. Saw a lot more passengers getting on or off the train. Though I did also observe a full (AI driven)...
Option 1, which activates the AI conductor :-)
When do you think was the last time we got two completely new locos with a route? And that at standard price? It's just not realistic.
Premature? More like way past due.
Matt mentioned in one of the roadmap streams that cooperation of NS was really good and they had good access to everything. So one would expect...
Play TSW :-)
Thanks. Apparently I don't know enough about UK fiscal laws :-)
On service 0E43, the train derails when coupling, as the last wagon is spawned on top of the buffers. PS5.
It has been like this every year, at least since 2023. So the same pattern of driving up sales and the net result before EOY. That is, assuming...
The level of urbanization in this particular area is not that high. Between the stations you will see a whole lot of (flat) countryside. On this...
You can also use a reskinned 387 (unbranded Heathrow express) and reskinned 484 (for Hammersmith and Circle Line services)....
I agree with you that these tutorials are generally not as good anymore (exception being LIRR commuter). However, I'll just wait and see how this...
A dedicated ATB tutorial was mentioned in the announcement article.
Oh yes, I will get it anyway. Only possible exception being a 'Fife Circle size debacle' preview stream, which I really don't expect.
There is clearly no valid evidence available to reach such conclusions (be it positive or negative). All we have are stylized shots and brushed up...
Separate names with a comma.
