Local trains? OK, how about this shot from the 90's near Traunstein, at Hufschlag: [IMG] Route: Salzburg-Rosenheim Vehicles: DB BR 628.2, DB BR 110.3
Nope, the 1020 is not equipped for multi-unit control. Additionally, there's the generation gap... It's like a 14-year-old trying to talk to a...
Gotta say, this came out of left field. I didn't expect this to be released anytime soon, considering how long it has been stuck in limbo already....
Well, I wouldn't say no to a 221 along with a retro Allgäubahn or Vogelfluglinie DLC either :D But let's not get too greedy, we're already getting...
I don't view this upcoming pack as a railtour pack anyway. Sure, the E94 is amazing and I'll drive the heck out of it, and Linke Rheinstrecke is...
Sadly that's the case for most of this generations electric locos. I'd absolutely love to get my hands on an E16, E17 or E18 to name a few, but...
I already thought this might be the case. The 628 isn't exactly known for its splendid traction and acceleration ;) Thanks for the insight Maik! I...
Exactly :) Would be great to get these indicators working at some point...
I gotta agree, these indicators never worked for me either. Not even back in TSW3, it always baffled me. Same goes for the wheel slip indicator, I...
Ah ok, didn't know that! Makes sense though :) While standing still, leaving the seat is no problem. The driver has to get up to look out of the...
Well, one shouldn't get up and move around the cab while driving in the first place ;)
Sadly, the route is riddled with signalling and PZB errors... Many of the 425 and 628 services suffer from it. Mannheim and Neustadt(Weinstr) both...
OK, just did some testing on the cab car, and it works fine for me. Zwangsbremsung happens, I set the engine to idle, train stops. I hit the "PZB...
Technically it's an h-brake, not an e-brake, since it uses the 218's hydraulic transmission :cool: Because 0 isn't off in this case. "Off" means...
Perhaps you did overspeed? The 218 has a built-in overspeed protection, to prevent damage to the drive system. It hits when you go over 150 km/h...
Great to know, I really admire that :) One more incentive to buy!
Yep, this old lady is very busy, all across Germany! I had the pleasure of going on a railtour with her from Stuttgart to Augsburg in 2022...
If DTG would seriously consider something like this poll, they might also consider excluding the main countries (which would only be UK, US and...
Totally agree. Where should this poll take place, if not here on the forum? So looking at the majority of people here (at least the active ones,...
DTG Matt Thanks for the response! Nice to get some honest feedback and information on some of the issues. :) Also thanks for prioritising this,...
Many people here in the forums reached that conclusion by now, me included, but DTG still refuses to listen. Sometimes I wonder, why even bother...
I burst out laughing while reading today's update notes. Once again no love for Mittenwaldbahn. I'm starting to think that DTG might be shunning...
Oh yes! Just imagine some route like Ingolstadt-Regensburg or Bamberg-Schweinfurt-Würzburg backdated to the early '80s, with the E18 doing...
Lindau in Lake Constance (yes, in is correct), a beautiful morning during the early 90's. On the famous causeway, a mixed freight train is heading...
Europe? Talk about a narrow subject... I'll do my best. Innsbruck Main Station with its stunning northern mountain range in the background! [IMG]...
Same. Getting to know the ins and outs of these old beasts is very intriguing, and also very rewarding. I already mentioned it in another...
The creative use of ů made it worth reading this post. :D
Exactly my train of thought, pun intended :) I never completely warmed up to the 110 being used in freight service. It's a nice substitute and the...
Let's just wait and see... if a backdated 218 really is in the works, all the necessary pieces would be in place. It seems that release of the...
Exactly. Although I usually prefer 70's to 90's trains over the more modern stuff, TSW is still the most appealing sim to me, despite it being...
What really saddens me is that this has become a yearly occurrence by now. Each spring, support for the current TSW version slows to a halt...
This seems to be a newer issue, since I experienced it only on TSW5 routes as of yet. Frankfurt-Fulda has it (at Offenbach and Frankfurt Süd),...
I'm beyond excited for this pack! This is exactly my cup of tea, and a great enrichment of the German vehicle roster in TSW. The more vintage...
The version we've got ingame (628.2) has been first manufactured in 1986. But a small series of prototypes (628.0) have been made in 1974, and...
As a big 218 fan I'm really excited for this, if it turns out to be true. :) Even in the current 1998-ish timetable, many services (namely the...
This got me even more excited than all the roads of the earlier roadmap! :D The Frankfurt S-Bahn continues to look amazing, finally a real...
This made me giggle at work. But since my colleagues already think I'm crazy, no harm done :cool:
Still some snow in the mountains, but the brooks and rivers in the valley are already surrounded by freshly growing plant life :) [IMG] Route:...
Just this morning I thought exactly the same! Doesn't have to be single minutes for me, but an increment of 10 minutes would already be of great help.
This is the way I love to drive too... finding that sweet spot, where the train is doing exactly what I want without me even having to give many...
Springtime is construction work time! Due to a line closure in the Hanau area, 218 429 has to deliver a short IC from Gelnhausen to Gießen. Just...
In this case, it's not a bug, but rather a feature :) The E94 family, including the 1020, uses a brake type called "einlösig" in German. Sorry, I...
I did some testing and can confirm this. When sitting in the driver's seat, all windows and doors of the cab closed, the rolling sound of the...
Confirmed. I just did a run (E680) from Innsbruck to Garmisch, no reverb at all. Quite a shame on a route with so many tunnels. One more thing I...
Oh yes. On services which require multiple cab changes, I always tend to fall behind. Additionally, when I intend to do a followup service once...
A labyrinth at Glauberg [IMG] Route: Niddertalbahn Vehicle: DB BR 628
As Spikee mentioned (he's no longer active on this forum, sadly) those screenshots came from TSC, not TSW :) I never played it myself, but it...
Funny you mention it... earlier (before I resurrected this thread) I was watching an OMSI 2 video and thought, that level of passenger comments...
Excellent idea. Even the most basic games, like Tavern Master for example, do something like this. There could be different levels of chatter,...
Also true. That's why I want to have varied, unpredictable, realistic weather. On a run along a ~70 km route, which would take about 1,5 hours in...
