    Could you please provide some more information. What exact loco is used? Orientation of the loco related to the consist (cab1 forwards or not). Remember, the 483.0 does not display traction gauge with every loco. Especially the 111 is only the Stuttgart one that works correctly, not the others.

    Hi Maik, of course. Just tested on service SE (28188) Stuttgart Hbf to Kaiserslautern Hbf, the first one to use the Wittenberger in Journey Mode. The traction/braking indicator stays idle using the BR 111 on the back of the consist. The loco has cab 2 facing forwards (towards the coaches) and cab 1 facing backwards. Also tested with substitutions turned off in the game settings, so it has to be the Stuttgart one that is being used. Playing on PC via Steam. Let me know if you need any more information.

    Sure thing Maik! I'm at work right now, but will check it in the evening and provide all the information I can :)

    Can you please check the MU Selection Switch and what it is set to? It should be set to KWS. Or the loco will not send any usable values to the cab car. Other locos, except 110, should all be driven in ZWS mode. There is a chance that services are not set up correctly and therefor using the default what is ZWS. The loco works normally with it, but the gauges not.

    Funny coincidence, I was just testing and about to write! :o:D
    This seems to be the issue. Both the loco and the cab are set to ZWS. Setting both to KWS resolves the issue.
    On Frankfurt-Fulda, both are set to KWS by default and there it works right away.

    Setting both switches to KWS indeed ensures that the gauges work again. But when applying traction the indicator in the WiKo cab now goes off to the left into the 'bremsen' section instead of the other way around.

    Interesting, to me the opposite happens. On acceleration it works fine, but when usinge the E-brake, the indicator moves to the "Fahren" side instead of the "Bremsen" side. I noticed that on Frankfurt-Fulda a couple of weeks ago already.
    But still better than the indicator not working at all ;)

    Well, that’s odd. I’d be curious to know how this happens. It’s definitely better than it not working at all, but not quite how it’s meant to be.

    I picked up this route in the summer sale and have been really enjoying it so far. Two things worth noting: I was surprised to see the PRESS BR 155 substituted onto this route, which doesn’t seem appropriate for the time period since this variant of the locomotive has only existed for a few years. And the n-Wagen coaches are incredibly loud at higher speeds, especially when viewed with the external camera. It would be great if their sound could be balanced a bit more in line with the other rolling stock in the game.

    Yeah the PRESS 155 shows up very frequently in the 2000-timetable, which is not accurate. I wouldn't be against the 155 subbing in, but the DB 155 would be the appropriate choice.
    I think I've noted that here a couple of pages ago myself too, but admittedly it's a low priority issue :)

    The n-Wagen are rather loud at high speeds, but that's pretty much spot on with the original ;)
    Not sure if the Wittenberger cab shouldn't have a different level of soundproofing than the Karlsruher cab tho...

    So doing an empty stock from stuttgart to Bietighiem all got greens but showing this. See picture so every time i went through a light I got penalty braked. Job was s5 (7967). Should it be like that.

    Probably if you pass the signal with "Befehl 40" pressed you wouldnt get penalty brakes. Its not what real operations would do though like ever, without contacting the signaller and getting permission to crawl past at reduced speed.

    But that doesnt absolve DTG from continuous signalling errors, where the signals placed cannot display the aspect they are supposed to. This doesnt even show the usual shunting permitted aspect, just a stop with the repeater saying the next signal is at a shorter than usual distance.

    At this point in time, this has to be the route where blurry textures are most prevalent for me. This goes for both the original and the BR147 timetable. Playing on PS5

    If they mouse-overed over the signal on the map, it's likely that it is actually trying to show Sh 1 aspect indeed. But this type of aspect doesn't make any sense here and the signal head is not equipped with any lightbulbs that could show it.

    Since this route uses all three versions of the n-Wagen, I thought I'd post it here in lack of a better place:

    After almost 4 years of using them, I noticed something about the n-Wagen in general...
    [​IMG]
    The electrical master switch and the electrical box underneath the carriage are riddled with crazy typos :D
    This has been copied and pasted across all versions, the red, mint, metal, the ABn and the cab (at least the Karlsruher variant, the Wittenberger doesn't have that box in this place if I'm not mistaken).

    It's a very minor issue and I don't expect a fix anytime soon, I just found it funny and wanted to point it out ;)

    Edit: Even the Italian on the master switch got one: Intepruttone -> Interruttore :cool:

    I can't even leave the platform in Stuttgart; the 500 hits me even at 20 km/h (and no red light on the dash, either)
