Well, the 243/143 was actually purchased by DB, along with its 112 derivative. This was a political decision: the government wanted to keep the...
Just that. It is, simply put, a pain to have to quit to the main menu, wait while it loads, then relaunch the route and wait through more loading...
Although following political unification DB and DR coordinated operations prior to the merger, and some DR rolling stock did work western routes,...
If DTG have reached the conclusion "steam doesn't sell, so it's not worth pursuing," then they drew exactly the wrong lessons from Peak Forest....
I have a suspicion that Diesel Legends was released in an effort to recoup some ROI from locos that hadn't been selling well.
That certainly isn't true of Germany, where two of the last three routes, and the next one, are all vintage/have vintage locos. (add in the...
To be fair, they did correct the performance-killing grass on Sherman Hill
I fear we ticked him off and he rage-quit the Forum.
On a 1.5% down grade
Guys, there is only so much a GPU can do, especially the Series S's rather underpowered chipset. You can have a decent framerate and live with...
It appears also that VVRR is keeping 18 trainsets in reserve as substitute trains when needed.
Hm! Didn't know that. But you are right, the 420s currently operating in München were extensively overhauled (necessarily, they're half a century...
IIRC, Köln retired its 420s in 2014
Well, the 420 only runs IRL on the Munich S-Bahn. It used to run in Stuttgart and the Rhine-Ruhr region, but has been withdrawn. So it isn't...
It's my understanding that the 420 is ready to go, as a loco/EMU, but HMA needs to be optimized before the route can handle additional traffic.
They also have seat meal service, at least in business class.
While European cities generally have excellent public transit, and the larger ones have developed commuter rail systems in the suburbs/exurbs, in...
Clinchfield ran passenger service until 1954. Whether they used their F3/F7 fleet for it, or steam, I'm not sure. But IIRC all F7s came from EMD...
Don't forget Canada
I think the only way it could be made to work would be if DTG approached Iron Kettle Simulations with a two-part contract. Part 1, IKS would be a...
IIRC, the route is set some years ago, ca. 2013
186 km of nothing but bridges and tunnels. The route across the middle of Austria would require much, much more intensive modeling.
I think that there is an absolutely enormous divide in motivation between passenger and freight railroads. Passenger rail depends on, well,...
200 km. Yeah, right.
Yes, that's pretty much it. Although on modern systems, a sequential electronic delay can be programmed for heavier trains. It's an air brake...
Actually, I am seeing this as a positive development - "We can't get a good handle on steam, so we are planning to outsource it to people who know...
Or the opposite. I'm reading the steam statements on the stream as meaning that DTG are actively looking to outsource steam development to third...
If DTG have any commercial sense, they will do a Railjet (WITH cab car, dammit) as a loco DLC which layers into Semmeringbahn, Rosenheim, and any...
Pretty simple: draw distance (and especially shadow draw distance) kills performance. One of the most brutal loads on a GPU. If you're running a...
I wonder what they mean by that. Properly it would be the original red/beige coaches inherited from the TEE- would they go that far? Or in this...
Semmeringbahn: 1) Will there also be freight services? 2) Why is there no Amz coach to go along with the Bmz?
The Semmeringbahn almost made me very happy- but what's with the rolling stock cheeseparing? What accountant decided DTG could save £7.53 by not...
And this is the thing which is so frustrating about DTG- the lack of attention to detail, when even a little more effort, a little more polish, a...
Thinking in terms of what the WSR revamp really included (improved scenery and lighting, new timetable using existing rolling stock) I would like...
Why on earth would you use full throttle reversing into a siding? When you're backing your car into a parking spot, do you floor the accelerator?
3 didn't
It's a diesel, so no tap changer
Add to that the fact that moving from 3 to 4 destroyed nearly every mod, leaving us stuck with vanilla again. A few now have been recreated for...
That's going to suck for people with slow Internet
AFAICT, the game never enforces HP2s, except when the indication is hard-coded as line speed. One of course still has to reduce to the PZB...
That's a valid point. IK rather enjoy scenarios that have you do something unusual and interesting. But if it's nothing but a standard timetable...
Cyberpunk 2077. In-house engine. Not buying OTS in no way guarantees avoiding bugs.
More likely it was planned, akin to the Hollywood practice (until COVID) of not releasing a movie to cable or streaming (or, back in the day, on...
And long after, in yards, since frequently for switching ops they didn't bother hooking up the air hoses
TSW: Voyager, TSW: DS9, TSW: Special Victims Unit.....
Query: as a stopgap for those of us who can't run ultra settings, which route's dynamic .ini setup works best with the revised WSR? I've tried...
Separate names with a comma.
