Route Bahnstrecke Nürnberg - Würzburg - Feedback Thread

ICE 4 (DB BR 412):
- Turning AFB off does not trigger the warning sound "AFB, AFB, AFB" sound as should.

- Driving under PZB I passed a 1000Hz magnet. I acknowledged it and run below 85 Km/h for a while but at some point I got distracted and I reached 89Km/h while the 85 indicator was still blinking (the yellow 1000Hz indicator was off already at this point). The emergency brake was not triggered as it should have been. Note: waited more than 5 seconds to make sure the emergency brake was not triggering while the 85 was still blinking to make sure I was not just lucky that I exceeded the limit exactly when the 85 indicator was going to stop blinking.

Please make sure this is fixed. Safety systems that do not work properly are a huge problem.

Noticeable stuttering also occurs on the section between Würzburg Station and the next station towards Nuremberg.

ICE4：
problem：The reason for the inaccurate speed control of the new version of AFB has not been resolved.

Details：During the fine-tuning process of AFB, it was found that the AFB handle model did move slightly, but the pointer on the MTD may not change, which could result in a maximum difference of approximately 4km/h between the set speed and the actual vehicle speed. Players usually control AFB through the notification bar on the right side of the screen, rather than carefully checking MTD (as there are no numbers on MTD). The notification bar on the right is well coordinated with the AFB controller model, but the yellow dot on the MTD determines the vehicle speed.

Actually, I personally think that many vehicles in the game also have similar issues with throttle control, but power output usually does not require 1% control, so there is no need to worry.

 

BTW, still wanted to give feedback on this, as I am now in a postition to confirm that the TSW representation of the ICE4 is correct (asked someone who knows better then me).

The ICE4 uses the HL (5 bar line through the train) only for emergency braking. All normal braking applications are done by direct braking on each individual waggon, as suspected orignially. This has then no impact on the HL pressure.

The ICE3 is much more conventional, in this aspect. It still uses the HL for normal braking applications (although, different pressure values are used dependant an speed and WB status).

 

Thank you, Karnil.
When the service is running on the section leading up to that station,
the stuttering is severe.

 

so thats why the analog gauge barely moves and only braking stuff is shown in the digital screen?

 

Correct! The analog gauge will only move while emergency braking

 

see, stuff like this is sometimes mentioned in the streams, but not always, and rarely in the articles, and then comes the route/loco/train and ppl like me are wondering what the hell ... I understand the majority of ppl will just fire up the game and play, but ppl who have spent thousands of hrs in this game (and ppl much more knowledgeable as well) will notice

as experienced as I am in this game, a lot of what I have learned over time is from this game and its iterations, plus a bit of my own studying... if they are going to introduce sth more updated, more nuanced, closer to reality, thats noticeably different from previous (and often more lenient towards players), it would be nice to point this out

like, hey, this iteration of ICE3 features more realistic standing brake of AFB (if you remember me ruminating about why open doors wont stop the train from departing when Train brake is Released), and its AFB braking is less powerful, forcing you to now do it on your own, closer to IRL.. stuff like this

 

The brakes on the BR442 Talent 2 seem a bit over-sensitive, compared to previous versions

 

Not sure if this was reported for this route yet, as I've seen it an issue for rail journeys for other routes, but scores and medals for rail journey for this route are not being saved consistently for the ICE 4 journey, even though it shows you earning them in the route, for both scenarios and regular routes.

EDIT: Sorry for the full images...tried making it a small thumbnail only, but it posted both, at least on my end...

 

So doing a freight job with the 185.2 about 10 mins in i lose all my computer screen complete blackout and I cant get them back on this happened to anyone else. I'm getting so fed up off the bugs and poor performance with tsw7.

 

Another thing that just happened on Rail Journey mode on ICE 4, if you have the random track faults on the track director can put the fault warning marker RIGHT after the LZB block begins (assuming you have LZB mode on), causing your train to immediately lock up the brakes and slam you back down to 30 mph before you know what's happened, even with AFB off. It releases after it gets low enough, so I guess it accomplishes its purpose, but I'm guessing the fault markers weren't meant to be randomized right behind the LZB sign, I could be wrong though.

 

btw just wondering, does ICE 1 have standing AFB brake... y know, the thing that applies slight pressure when at standstill to prevent rollback etc

 

the MüNex is facing the wrong way, the 101 should be facing munich, not nurnburg
