Dreadful, really? It's much better than DTG's previous attempts at a Taurus. As for the route itself, I do find it slow and tedious for the...

Simple DC circuitry and standard air or vacuum brakes. More complex to use, but not especially challenging to simulate, I wouldn't think.

I mean, "26 more playable services and over 1200 new AI services" in service mode (plus many changes to services that already existed) and "Five...

In real life, the Auxiliary Control is only used for shunting or when the Main Control System (Speed Selector etc.) has failed. Place the Speed...

I mean, at this point they've started repainting them into old liveries. There was actually only a fairly short length of time when DB didn't have...

They didn't repaint everything on day one. In fact, many locomotives were never painted in Orientrot and wore blue/beige (or even older paint...

No. If a train is on the map, it has to be in memory, regardless of whether there's one of them on the map or ten. So removing one layer entirely...

It also uses far fewer different types of train, with far fewer different individual vehicles, and it has a much simpler track and signal layout.

1000 m (or actually, 950 m is the minimum!) from 160 km/h would be pretty dangerous if you tried to do it with UK trains - but of course German...

The 363 is almost exclusively a shunter. Pretty much any run on the open line that TSW uses the 363 for (on any route) should actually be a 294 or...

I think Maintalbahn is much better than its reputation, especially if you drive it in the 218 or 628. I just wish TSG had put a little bit more...

I still don't know what to make of this pack. The locomotive and coaches are obviously very high quality, and combined with the number of physical...

The 101 was intended as a universal locomotive, and did haul freight in its early years.

I'm sure there'll be playable freight (in the full timetable). The only train the article actually mentions is AI only is the 628, but because...

Console players: "Consoles aren't holding the game back because DTG can just adjust timetables, graphics settings etc. so each platform gets what...

[ATTACH] With a few new addons released/announced, I thought it was time for an update.

I don't think DB's 187s have the last mile diesel.

That is literally a screenshot of the Dovetail Games website?

They haven't though? [ATTACH]

I don't know about ATC/ACSES, but the way the European safety systems work is pretty much public information due to the railways being open...

No, LIRR still came out before the new TSW version, not after it. But they had some kind of big "Spring Addon Reveal" event coming up and weren't...

I think that DTG was kinda forced to do that by the LIRR 2 licensing issues they had - otherwise they'd have had no US content to announce for an...

With TSW4, there were three new UK routes from DTG in a row: Peak Forest, Glossop Line (in June!), then ECML. With TSW5, we got thee US routes in...

An E18, E44 and E94 would be an awesome lineup for a route. Imagine a 1970s Bavarian mainline with those locos... plus the occasional 110 and 103...

These locomotives are from the 1920s, way before WWII and the division of Germany. Either way, there are no routes set while these ran in...

No. It's not even the oldest Skyhook route.

There's a "reverse from portal" checkbox on exit portal nodes. That is what you are looking for.

So does Germany though, mostly. Or is Austria really 100% axle counters only?

I'd be willing to bet it's not prototypical. That PZB switch most likely doesn't exist in the real Vectron in the first place. The real procedure...

Ah, but you see, they should only make less of the DLC that I personally don't like!

Well, Voltage, Frequency and safety systems are the same, so there's no immediate reason why you couldn't theoretically use the wrong setting....

Before DB decided on their new paint scheme, in 1974 they got one 218 each delivered in the two schemes they were considering: 218 217 in...

Does it though? I agree that the maps have some really good detail, but quite a large part of each of them is just fairly generic wilderness....

In any train simulator, the routes are also huge compared to most other video games' maps. Snowrunner maps are 2 km * 2 km. Yes, they have more...

[ATTACH] Your main circuit breaker is open, as shown by the two icons I've circled. You probably tried closing it too early after raising the...

An E18 would be spectacular. Nothing to add to that, it would be an awesome loco to have in TSW. I'll throw in a more unusual suggestion: E77 10...

Oh, of course! The word I used was "hilarious".

A blue/beige E69 is a hilarious idea. If we had them in TSW, I'd be booting up livery editor right now!

Those are on the narrow gauge railway that starts at Freital-Hainsberg. About the only thing they have in common with a DB Umbauwagen is the...

You can swap out coaches as well, that's not the issue. That just needs to be set up in the formation files/route timetables, which, unlike simply...

They all remained green until the end. They only ever wore that one paint scheme.

The last ones went out of service in 1992, and only because that's when central door locking became mandatory. In 1988, DB had more than 400 still...

I have no doubt you will - I'm also quite looking forward to it. The short, light trains are the only thing wrong with Mittenwaldbahn in my...

I believe we've discussed already that if the coach you traveled in was ocean blue & beige then it can't have been a Silberling as those never...

Apart from everything else, missing suspension being a problem also pretty much confirms to me that the loco is most likely based on the old DTG...

The museum version (E94 088) is the modern one, not the other way round. It was never a DB loco, but today it is an operational preserved...

It's the route definition you need to link in the Timetable Defaults. Also, when you start the editor, always make sure you open the route before...

Really a very good route. I do hope there will be more Dutch content in the future. The one problem I'm having right now is that the deadman...

It's true that there are exceptions to every rule on the railways, and this rule is no exception. But the rules don't exist because DB hates fun -...
