Creation Sharing Bremen - Oldenburg New Timetable (2024) (released)

Progress Update:

It's finally done!
After so many hours working on this new and modern timetable, it is now 100% finished. For an overview of all selectable vehicles, take a look at the screenshots below.
In this final state, there are in total 1.307 services, of which 403 are playable. Overall there will be regional, s-bahn, freight and ICE/ IC trains to drive, as well as some shunting with every kind of these services.
Here are some new little updates/ announcements that some of you have maybe waited for:

What now? (closed Beta)
Around the middle of this month, I will start a closed beta version of the timetable! Till then, I will try to fix some little currently existing bugs and wrap it up as a version possible to publish.
But as of now everyone who is willing to be part of the beta test group can leave me a DM and I will pick some of you for the group!

Release
If beta testing will be successful and there won't be too much issues found, my plan is to upload the timetable and both repaints (Metronom & IC2) by the end of this month!

What's next?
As some of you might already know, my next project will be a route project and of course it will get a fully working (99% realistic) timetable!
I won't spoil what route (or routes?) exactly it will be as of now, but at the beginning of June you will see a new topic here in the forum. All I will say today, is that it will be settled in Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) Germany.

That's about it for today, here are some new screenshots showing of some of the new stuff and I hope many of you are looking forward to the release:



Stay tuned!

 

Mach dir da kein stress, ich kann zumindest auch warten, Don't stress about it, at least I can wait.

 

Sind die IC 2 Dostos, überhaupt auch von innen bearbeitet? Are the IC 2 Dostos even machined from the inside?

 

I'm not rushing. It was always my plan to release it this month, and I'm already a few days faster than expected. Some friends of mine already did some testing while I was working on the timetable. So there shouldn't be too many new bugs in it, which will also speed up the testing process.

As for the IC2, yes, the textures of the interior got changed too, same goes for the Metronom. The floor, stairs, seats and even tables got realistic textures.

 

you are a legend. I kind of missed the Metronom repaint from Hannah's HBK timetable pack or whatever it was, but hearing now that you got a Metronom repaint within your mod here apparently makes me happy

 

Glad to hear that! It should be exactly like hers because she got the textures from Nickhawk, and now I got them too.

 

that's cool. can't wait to see it finished and good luck with your new project soon. looks like I'm not the only one having half my library saying new train even though I already played 40 ish services with them...

Are all Lokos that shown in the tt required OT are there also layers?

 

The G6 is subbing for the BR 363 and all the freight locos are subbing for the BRO Press 155.
The rest are vehicles that will be in the timetable like that.

 

Progress Update:

Today I have nothing to show you, but some little updates. The last few days I fixed some of the delays of the trains, although some of them are created to have a delay. Another thing I did, was to implement some missing little thing as for example Map points in the service selection screen.

The first few people also already got the invite to the Beta version. But If you want to join the beta team, feel free to leave me a DM. I will accept almost all applications, as long as they have been written with some kind of good standard.

Next up on the list will still be to finalize the mod and make sure that there are no bugs in it.

 

I believe I sent you a dm as well

 

No need to require two different DLC for the 401 and 403 if there's one DLC that contains both of them.

 

I don't know if you are partially blind but to me it seems clear that they did pick KWG for both ICEs.

 

Looks very promising, I'll definitely give it a shot once it's finished! Although I'm gonna miss the 110 and 612, a little variety (and color) is very welcome too.

You're not alone, mate. Same here

 

Final Update:

Hey guys! Today, I can share some great news with you.
Beta tests are looking great and many little bugs could be fixed. Some new things have also been added, such as static rolling stock across the whole route!

Release
The release of the new timetable and both repaints (IC2 & Metronom) is scheduled for this Friday (24.05.2024) on the "Train Sim Community" website.

Publication name
All my future mods and/or possible DLC's will be under the Developer name "Rail Dream Studio"

So that's it. After many many hours spend working on the timetable, it is now in a final state. I'm very happy and looking forward to seeing you guys have fun with the timetable and both repaints. But also in the future with some more additions to the game, developed by me or other peoples.

Ps: Some preview videos will shortly be provided by matinakbary

 

Exactly! Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. And can I say, I'm impressed?! The tt is awesome.

 

I don't have BRO yet. But this tt really leads me to buy IT without any sales

 

Amazing work. congrats on the finished product and I can't wait to drive on BRO again this weekend.

 

Sorry, shamelessly using this thread to post my preview of it, but it might be interesting to some people here:


I'll add the 2nd video in this post tomorrow when it releases

Part 2:

 

Amazing, looking forward trying this.

One question, though. The IC played in the video leaves Oldenburg taking a really strange path, leading to an exit on a Sh1. If it would leave using the right path through the first switch it would be a normal aspect on the exit signal. Is this a limitation of the route?

 

Hey, one thing from me aswell, would it be possible changing the color from the PIS on the IC2 Dosto and loco to orange? as that'd be a bit more realistic as the irl PIS are also orange on that unit. (I believe that in fact all more modern 4th gen Dostos and 146s irl have orange PIS instead of green, but that does not really matter for this)

 

I assume that this would be possible. Personally, I don't know how, but anyone who is willing to try can reach out to me

 

Hey, great work! I'm currently trying to edit the existing timetables for Cajon Pass. I simply want to enable the substitution rules on the formations to allow for creator club repaints to show up in timetable mode. In the editor, DTG has all the substitute switches turned off for the rolling stock. I can't seem to figure out how to edit it because its in read only mode. Could you point me to a tutorial on how you were able to edit existing DLC timetables? Thanks!

 

I don't know if you can even edit the original timetable, because it's cooked and therefore not editable. As for me, I created a whole new timetable and created everything myself

 

Not sure if it would work, but replacing the formations via an overwriting .pak should do the trick, but you will need the unofficial editor to do it(at least I haven't found a way to do it).

 

This is what I'm thinking as well. You don't need to edit the timetable itself, just the formations files for the consists. Would creating a new plugin, and then copying over those files to make them writable and then make the changes be what you're suggesting? Can't that be done in the official editor? Thanks!

 

It would be nice if you could play it on Xbox.

 

I believe it's doable on the RVV if you select the exterior model and then look at the left side for the PIS line, if that's how they set it up.

 

Do the reskins sub in to other consists on other routes? i hope not, dont wanna see random metronom or IC2 carriages in Re services on other route

 

Thats up to the formations of each individual route.
You will be able to select the 146 or cab Car in timetable mode in any route, but they shouldn't randomly appears while youre driving.

 

So I'm looking at the same thing on NA routes. Apparently, I'm hearing now, that DTG has disabled substituting liveries because it affects physics loads on rolling stock. Maybe that's the same reason they released and editor without the ability to cook files

At what time this Mod will be released?

 

I intend to release it at 8pm MESZ

 

(CEST in english )

 

Quick update:

I probably won't make it to upload the timetable till 8pm, because some strange new bugs have appeared. I will fix them and will upload it as quick as possible.
No matter what, the repaints (Metronom & IC2) will be available as a separate download on TSC as soon as 8pm.

 

And another Update:

The timetable is fixed and uploaded to Train Sim Community. After it has been processed, it will be available for all of you. But earliest at 9pm.
I really hope that all of you will have lots of fun with the new timetable, and if there is anything unusual you notice, feel free to let me know.

 

Downloaded, tested and very much enyojed Thank you very much for making it available to the community.

Just want to mention a couple of small items I have noticed.

Apart from the pathing I have already mentioned in my earlier post and the missing BR110 & nWagen, which you are already aware about, there is actually only one more thing, so far.

I was driving NWB RB58 (82256) @12:10 and when it was time to leave platform 2 at Bremen, the signal would stay red until I have actually closed the doors. DTG used to have this issue as well on older routes, however, have fixed it in the newer ones. In reality the train would never leave, as the driver may only close the doors once he has the all clear to leave from the signaller, which is usually any aspect apart from red. I have obviously no idea how compicated this is to implement and it is absolutely no deal braker if it stays the way it is.

Again, thank you very much for this mod. It makes me drive on BRO again

 

First of all thank you very much!

Yeah, on some services this is still happening, but it's also a quick fix. Just 1 or 2 clicks needed.
I plan to fix this stuff in the coming weeks before on 9th of June when Lidar is free I will actively start on my route project.

As for the sometimes strange paths, that's because DTG originally created them. In the timetable I mostly used the realistic paths which then occurs the strange signals. But I will look into that too.

What exactly do you mean in case of missing BR110 & n-Wagen? In reality, they aren't used on this route anymore, so they're not showing up anywhere despite the Railtoure service with the BR 103.

 

Don't forget your 2 hour livestream featuring mod creator LPgamerTV :

 

Yeah, sorry about the br110 and nWagen. It was late and I obviously startet to
Mix stuff up…

Thanks for the heads up regarding the other stuff, looking forward to it!

 

I had the same on the IC service from bremen to oldenburg at 9:55 or something. don't exactly recall the time. but indeed all the station stops ended on a red untill I stopped there and then got a green. making a departure of 20km/h each time. still managed to be on time so at all not a dealbreaker.

apart from that I love how busy the yards and freight sidings are. I just drove one service yesterday because it's late but just flying around bremen looking at the (not just spam of DB red) amount of trains there including some special like a 110 being sandwiched by some 363's. makes the route look so alive. I'd personally like to have more 363 shunting to do but there's enough to do as I skimmed through the timetables that there's no doubt I'll sink hours of enjoyment in the route.

 

Hello, I have a question. My game crashes when I try to drive the timetable. What could be the reason? I have all the necessary mods

 

you also need all the necessary DLC for this to work.

talking about this issue, LPgamerTV I dont know if you had made any statement about that, but you could get into using the layering system of a timetable, so when someone does not own all necessary DLC for the timetable to work, it will still run it, just without those formations then. would be helpful for people who, as said, don't have all the DLC

 

Yes, I already did that. But I will look into it

 

Thank you LPgamerTV for considering looking at layering based on DLCs, your effort is greatly appreciated for bringing this timetable to life. It would be a great way to reach out to more of the community, as realistically some of the routes are either too new or too niche for most of us to own them.

My top 3 for layering would be:
- Semmeringbahn - too new and basically adds only OBB services as far as what it adds to the rolling stock pool
- Maintalbahn - a niche route which is not worth the price just for the 642 alone
- Niddertalbahn - a niche route, well worth the money but might not be everyone's cup of tea due to being set in the 1990s

Honorable mention
- Linke Rheinstrecke - if 103 only used for railtour services its not really game breaking if it is missing. Even though with how many sales there are most of us looking at german content will have this DLC

I personally own both Linke Rheinstrecke and Niddertalbahn, but would give up the 628 layer if it has to go together with the 642 for example. Based on what is the stock of choice for the route and what is the stock that just subs in.

 

Having a drive of the timetable now, impressive how busy it is so far! Would it be possible to suppress the "objective complete" notifications, especially, at the go via locations?

 

Would it be possible to add a journey for this timetable? I mean, taking basically one run of each service pattern in both directions, and then changing time (one in the morning, one middays, one in the evening), and adding different weather conditions (rain/snow/bright sunlight)?

 

Hi,
I have a question, I don't know much about this topic.
I have Tsw3 and Tsw4 and have almost all the German DLCs and I play them regularly but now I would like to play this new timetable. How do I set that up, where and what do I have to download? Thank you in advance. Greetings

 

You can Download the timetable on trainsimcommunity.com. This is where you also find a list of all required DLCs and repaints you need in order to play the new timetable.
In fast of installation, you install it the same way as any other Mod by placing the downloaded .pak File into your DLC folder.

 

What a great job. I downloaded this this afternoon. So nice to see trains in other liveries than DB Red. Just spent a couple of hours driving ICE's up and down. Very enjoyable.
