A gospel I've been trying to preach for a long time. Simply put, DTG needs a more relaxed release-date schedule, because too often its routes...
And there i completely agree! Something like, oh I don't know, maybe beige above and deep crimson below?
All right, how many developer man-hours per week do you think DTG should allocate to these things? Two million, six? A zebdillion? The fact is,...
To take this back to the thread topic, DTG said right from the start that the suspension system would NOT be in TSW4 at launch. So I fail to see...
That is a DIYD/DIYD situation. Replace them with 3D trees, performance goes to hell. Remove them entirely, then it looks nothing like the heavily...
Not really going to be a problem on PC, I don't think :cool:
That would require budgeting, both time and money. Matt's basically doing these personal side projects for free. Say thank you to the nice man.
It's tough to find, in fact IIRC on the GP38 you can't even see it from the seat. Stand up and look at the bottom of the brake stand near the...
Well, these forums are sure a great compass to follow! For how long have we been objecting that DTG haven't been following their old policiy of...
Well, I think there were a couple of factors, and the new Deutsche Bahn corporate identity was a factor. But there was also a practical side: for...
Well, it is the case that the % range includes a current-limiter to prevent the circuit breaker opening under heavy load, and so that would seem...
I like the coach colors of the PF era, and the rainbow variety they brought. It's just Orientrot that I find intensely disagreeable. DB must have...
Careful with terms here: a layer is actually a group of services, not the trains that run on them, except to the extent the route designer pairs...
If we really want to be nitpicky, only 111s with road numbers from 001-146 should have scissor pantograps (Model 54); later ones were all...
Using repurposed 110 sounds for some (NOT all) of the 111 sound suite is a very minor sin, because the 111 in many respects is an updated 110 with...
I would venture the 110 is dependent on BRO, because the LFR version is in Orientrot livery
It might be that concern over capacity on 8th-gen consoles meant that they didn't want to have the route load up a large number of Swiss assets...
The 3M (BR 406) only runs to Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The regular 403 can run on Austrian power.
IIRC, on the Munich-Rosenheim-Salzburg-Vienna run, ICs and ECs are equivalent trains, but the former are DB and the latter OBB. (Historically,...
Exactly. Unfortunately, German trains aren't equipped with an EOTD with a brake pipe readout, so all you can do is wait [guesstimate] time and try...
In Siemens' case, IIRC it was through Siemens that they were able to do a complete video and sound survey - basically they were loaned a loco and...
Well, one of those opportunities is right here, on the forum. The questions are being asked; you are here; so here is the opportunity to answer.
That's why I miss Sam- on streams he would ask those questions, and keep pushing even when Matt or whomever didn't really want to answer.
At a guess, I would say it depends whether they were used to an older wheel-changer loco, or a newer thyristor-throttle loco.
That is an unfixed bug that goes back to the release of that loco: If you have cab signaling on, passing 25 mph will initiate an emergency...
He (trainsimcz) is a great modder and has done some absolutely fantastic work. He also isn't paid. I think people should go back and read some...
Maybe you don't realize that in order to add a layer to a preexisting route, they basically have to throw out the timetable and build a new one.
Canada required ditch lights beginning in 1975
I don't think I have ever seen an F-unit (not counting present-day heritage locos) with ditch lights. Even in modern times, CRR No 800 is exempt,...
And even the SD40 had a completely new cab and different controls
A renewed Clinchfield is banner-headline stuff, for me. If you really are delving into it, could you look into the routing? Currently the...
An upgrade to TOD-4 could well help
Not very likely, I don't think. It is extremely unusual for a manufacturer to trademark a train or locomotive- usually if anyone does it at all,...
Interesting that it isn't on Hamburg-Lübeck
Which would be about right. The 111 was designed and built as a passenger engine, a replacement for the aging 110s.
That would be great; in addition, if the system can handle the load they also need 425 services running offmap to the south towards Tutzing and...
T'would be nice if there were a 33 layer, or shunting with the 09 (not quite correct, but close enough)
Well that, apparently, is coming, but as a 3rd party DLC
Very legit point- my beard is gray, but the last mainline steam in the US vanished before I was born. Yet steam is absolutely huge among both...
Munich could certainly use a timetable rework/expansion to begin to make it somewhat like the bustling place it is IRL, and any number of newer...
That really is a feast of nitpickery. The 101 is a superb locomotive; not including the cab car is indeed a grrrr! decision, but the locomotive...
"103 245 gelangte nach Ende der Planeinsätze zu DB Fernverkehr nach München, wo sie vor einigen Sonderzügen sowie planmäßigen RE-, IC-, EC- und...
That cool Bahnland Bayern livery was also applied to a 146, which I recreated in CC.
That strikes me as a railtour, given the old livery and even the old DBB Kekse.
By 2013 the 103s were all in museums; they were retired in 2003.
I don't think that's necessarily true. For example the very good-looking in-development Century of Steam is being built by some guys my kids'...
I think the idea would be an Amt rak consist which could be used out of the box on numerous US routes. Others know better than I which coaches...
To maximize profit? Or simply to make any profit at all, as opposed to a loss?
It’s not maximalizing return while minimizing effort; it’s, maximalizing return while minimizing costs.
Not necessarily. The license agreement for LIRR1 presumably is a permanent license for that specific route (not any others). The rumour mill sez...
Separate names with a comma.
