    SK Trains who have made a number of Belgium Add-ons, Locos and Units are producing a 373

    They announced it on their FB page https://www.facebook.com/railxcel
    Still a work in progress

    The DTG TVM system appears to be closed-source, which is why there are multiple versions of TVM for different developers (at least three I think). Don't get your hopes up it'll work on London to Faversham or LGV Rhones-Alpes.

    The SimExpress BB22200 works with TVM430 on the Lyon - Marseille route.

    If they can do it others should be able to.

    AHS used a different TVM on their Paris - Tours route and they used the same on the Channel Tunnel Route.
    Neither route joined on to anything else.

    Yes but more recently they announced they were carrying on
    From their Facebook page

    Hello everyone,
    First of all, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support over the last few months.
    I have listened carefully to your comments and criticisms. That's why I've decided to give you some news.
    First of all, I'd like you to know that I've had a major server problem over the last month, which has had a considerable impact on the time taken to process e-mail replies. In fact, many e-mails never reached their destination and others were drowned out by a lot of spam.
    This problem will be fully resolved early this week.

    About the desiro : [​IMG]
    the desiro product is under development
    this product is scheduled for release at the end of november 2024.
    A more precise date will be communicated as the period approaches, in order to avoid the need for hope in the event of a glitch during the testing process.
    At last, a Belgian road DLC for TSC! [​IMG]
    Something that came up a lot was the need for a line to run the content created to take full advantage of the different systems specific to Belgium. [​IMG]
    The route chosen is line 161 and 162 (Brussels - Luxembourg [​IMG]).
    With over 188km and a journey time of more than 3 hours, this line offers a wide range of landscapes, from urban areas to the vast countryside and forests of the Ardennes, not forgetting the city of Luxembourg.
    More on the add on to come...
    Finally, all product updates will be available by the end of the year!
    enough to correct any bugs encountered [​IMG].
    The website and a new application will make it easier to learn, install and update.

    Interesting... it´s not far to Trier from Luxembourg. That would be a great connection with the German routes going towards Koblenz, Köln and Frankfurt.

    I have the HLE 21/27 pack which I recently found a clear window patch :)
    And like you the HLE13, M4, M6, I10 & I11 stock.

    A friend got the HLE 18 pack but he said there is a lot of stuff to input before you can drive.
    I will stick with the reskin for the RSSLO Vectron :)

    I can't count how many windows I have cleaned, it's pretty easy actually. RSBinTool > open TgPcDx > Export DDS > import to paint.net > raise Alpha transparency (BoltBait plugin) > save > import DDS again to RSBinTool > save. One minute job.

    A one minute job for someone with a greater skill level than me :)
    I know this has been asked before - is it possible to stop the Flies on the AP locos and units?
