They do not. The high-speed line is only used by ICE3, Velaro D, and ICE4.
That's it right there. Not everything needs to be 100% accurate, but it does need to be explainable within the confines of reality. "This one...
You can just make a copy of an existing formation.
Yes.
Thanks for the feedback and encouragement everyone! Long distance trains are up next.
After a few days in the timetable mines, I'm so happy to report that I've got all the Trilex services working! Getting these into the timetable...
Yeah, you can only uncouple them by magic, but that's fine. The AI can do it, and the player can use the Automatic Coupling assistance feature....
Guess what, it's 642s. Mine get stuck during simulation though...
Honestly amazing how we've had the Editor for several months now and are still discovering exciting new problems a timetable can have. I got a...
That is true; however it should also be considered that Zürich is a city of about 430000 people while almost 9 million people live in New York City.
The whole point of the API is to allow the community access to TSWs internal data so they can develop external tools that use that data, and...
New timetable, wagons upgraded to modern driving physics standards (brake timings selector etc) and some updates to the 143: make the existing...
Correct. That certainly can be true, but usually it isn't. Also, the player usually isn't able to stick to AI timings because the AI sticks to...
No, it's KWS36, for which you have to set a switch in the loco.
DB has already been selling them. RDC and Train Charter Services have a few 101s each in service now, both in rather fetching blue liveries.
MRCE, Siemens Dispolok, and Railpool are not train operators, they are rolling stock leasing companies. The only German TSW train from a non-DB...
There are many non-DB operators in Germany these days. It's a shortcut that DTG take by backdating pretty much every German route to a time when...
At the risk of being off topic, "perfect" superelevation is not a thing. Well, it is in theory, but it's not what you use in real life due to a...
[ATTACH] I'm finally making some progress with the Trilex trains! I got as far as about 7 AM today, including all shunting moves and...
As stated in the roadmap, there will be a menu setting to turn the advanced features off. I'm sure that that will apply to the cab car as well and...
I hope you enjoy your stay! Hopefully you know about the steam locomotive festival happening on the weekend?
Sounds like a good middle ground, thanks Maik!
It's a suggestion for how levers can work in a computer game, and we are discussing the behaviour of a lever in a computer game.
How does that work with levers that don't have notches?
I personally prefer the blue version for a bit more contrast, but the shape of everything is really nice. DB agreed with me by the way - way...
I started writing before Maik's answer was there. Anyways, the whole point of my post was supposed to be that it sometimes makes sense to change...
218 105 was painted in these colours in 2010, for no reason other than it looks cool.
Well, it would be prototypical to control the lever by holding it with your hand, rather than by tapping the A and D keys on a computer keyboard....
But a good number of those private locos are still (or at least were for some time) DB red. I'd be fine seeing a few 218s on freight in TSW.
[ATTACH] I managed to make space for the Trilex trains today, so I can add them over the coming days. To free up space on platforms 5 and 7, I...
That's just a weird thing that the playback view does. Doesn't mean anything.
Unless DTG make some pretty substantial changes to the way that layers work, it'll be the Expert 101 only.
No, it will still work even if you only have DRA. If you don't have an addon, you simply won't get the trains that it provides.
True, but I doubt that would have made a huge difference to train operations in Glauburg-Stockheim.
It won't unlock any layers. I was only ever going to use the 628 on one railtour, which is now going to use the 642 by default, and have the 628...
Yes. I sit pretty firmly in the camp of prioritising gameplay over 100% accuracy, and I certainly don't care about a few years *within* an era....
4 years from 1988 to 1992 is just a bit. 4 years from 1992 to 1996 is huge.
Quite a while ago, I answered the question on what DLC was going to be required, and since then quite a lot has happened. DLC has been announced...
Will the 218 work with Dostos, and especially the Dosto cab car?
Niddertalbahn is set in the early 1990s. The 218 is in Deutsche Bahn red, as introduced in 1996. I feel like that answers that question.
It's been a good while since DB used 218s on freight. Private operators use ex-DB-and-still-red or rented-from-DB 218s all the time though, and...
In the substitution settings in the timetable, one of the things you can specify is the minimum amount of power a loco needs to be a viable...
The article not only confirms that it comes with the appropriate diesel desk in the cab car, but even includes a screenshot of it.
Before anyone asks, yes, the Expert 101 and the 218 are _so_ going to be in the timetable as soon as I can get my hands on them. (Nothing else to...
That's on Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_Zuggattungen (Actually, after checking, the only source the Wikipedia article cites...
They could've done the same thing they did on Boston-Providence, where the ATC and ACSES display units are always active, but there's no need to...
You can't do that. What I meant was: the dead loco spawns in the "parked" preset. I then couple an active one to it. If the player then, for any...
I do understand why needing to make passenger stock too is a challenge. However, I as a player would be extremely happy to see a US route that has...
