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...
Yes, I'm very keen on doing this! There isn't a portal at the end of the Meißen branch sadly. That means I can have exactly one train coming...
You absolutely can, and thank you for asking!
It's very weird. Isaak, Perks390 and I have all encountered it on the 642, but it doesn't seem to affect any other trains. I've come a long way,...
I can barely believe it, but thanks to taking the methodical approach, I have figured out the Desiro problem! It's a weird one. The Desiros get...
Absolutely. Can't say how exactly I'll do it given that we don't know how exactly DTG are going to release it, but I'll 100% be using it.
The current thing I'm trying is this: I took a copy of the S8 layer since this is already working with the Desiro. I'm now transforming it into...
True, they used to say that, but back then, they were putting stuff onto the roadmap much earlier and with more details than they are today,...
It does matter, as those who made the route would be the ones who'd need to update the timetable to include the new train. Not that I'm confident...
Wouldn't make sense to tease something after it's on the Roadmap and we know what it is, would it?
Neither Edinburgh - Glasgow nor Fife Circle are DTG routes. Personally, if a loco DLC for Cathcart Circle means a TOD4 upgrade and timetable...
Thank you for the correction! I should have thought of that. Still, the cab car is normally not used with 218s, so packaging the two together...
The 218 isn't actually compatible with the cab car though.
The Railjet is a fixed consist. It can't not have first class coaches.
So far I thought the Desiro problem had something to do with entering and leaving portals. This morning I had an idea: why don't I just send the...
Oh boy. Turns out that I can't not couple and uncouple trains in Dresden, because the timetable isn't balanced: more (but shorter) trains run into...
Apparently DTG have some source they get timetable information from. I do not, so I'll just be labeling them as "Westbound Intermodal" or...
Happy to hear that! I'm still making a basic version of the Trilex layer using the 612 (the 628 is too slow) for now, but if you found a way...
Most of Tharandter Rampe has Ks signals, so I'm sure they made some changes to the real-life route when they put those in, Chemnitz Hbf got...
I would like to point out that Dresden-Riesa was pretty much an entirely different route in GDR times. Major changes have been made to it since...
But you were able to resolve it each time?
Well, it knows where the 1000 Hz magnet is. It also knows that if you pass over that 1000 Hz magnet while it's active you need to acknowledge it,...
I do need to have the services in there since otherwise I might end up putting conflicting trains in without noticing. Still a good call though....
After further trials, apparently it's not actually caused by the coupling: it's still broken if I remove the couple instruction altogether....
These seem to be neither new (given that they refer to TSW2 throughout) nor especially good (the poor German is one thing, but there are also...
Interesting. In my case, they seem to dislike Dresden-Neustadt platform 4. Which is strange as I've already got a (Desiro!) formation on RB33...
Oh, right, I didn't remember just how similar that case was! For you, was it a specific platform that was affected or was it random?
I've been back at work on the timetable for a few days now, but I'm stuck on an extremely weird issue that I can't find an explanation for: If I...
The game itself doesn't know why a PZB magnet exists at any specific location, so it couldn't really offer any helpful guidance beyond what's...
It's probably a seasonal service that only runs as AI in certain months. The map points for display in the main menu are entirely separate from...
For what it's worth, I've never touched service priorities so far. I've got a few depenencies set up, but mostly I'm just using Dispatch Beyond...
I've seen that error when I told a train that's already in the vault to enter a portal, or a train that's on the map to leave one.
There is a direct Chemnitz - Riesa route (via Döbeln) in real life, and it's a lot flatter than Chemnitz - Dresden too. Freight trains from...
I had an intermediate Go Via instruction and it didn't work. Turns out that all I needed to do was turn that into a Stop At instruction. Somehow I...
The S8 services are mostly in. I've had some problems with the signalling at Dresden Hbf when coupling the trains. It seems like in timetable...
Obviously there's no safety gain from hitting the acknowledge button at a signal that doesn't have a PZB magnet. It does, however, not have any...
[ATTACH] Joining Isaak in the 1.000+ services club today. The Elbe-Elster Network trains are in!
I don't think there is a human that knows little enough about trains to invent a German Atlantic tank engine with middle and side buffers, a...
Quedlulinburr?
Thanks! I'll give them a go.
