Usually you need to set both manually. IRL there are quite a bunch of rules which tell you which setting and if both need to have the same setting. Most TSW6 Cases should be both locos to the same setting.
While playing the Bnrdzf 483 Millennium scenario, I noticed an issue with the control car’s throttle. The throttle percentage power appears to be invalid. I can only control power by increasing or decreasing the throttle step by step. Once the throttle reaches the percentage-based region, it has no effect at all. The power meter seems to top out at10 kN and does not increase beyond that. I also noticed that the BR 111 locomotive in this train is unusable: there is no power in either cab, and the screen does not light up when the reverser handle is inserted. I have not encountered this throttle percentage issue in Timetable mode or Free Roam mode. So far, it only occurs in this Millennium scenario. I suspect the control car used in this scenario may have been modified.
In the northern entrance of Kornwestheim Rbf (north end of tracks 001 to 011), some OHLE parts can be seen hovering just above the tracks. My 294 mauled them without derailing. Sturdy beast.
When driving the Bnrdzf 483 when pulling away from platforms . Why is when I run up first time nothing happens then I run back down and run up again the I have power and pull away . Am I missing something. Thanks
Spotted your comment over on the closed thread, AmityBlight https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/stuttgart-heilbronn-patch.95893/#post-1080904 Just as a side note, reflective signs were invented and intrduced back with the original DRA DLC. This was really great and a big step forward in driving at night without HUD. Reflective signs remained a thing until KWG and vanished afterwards. I can only assume that this was a cost cutting measure along the way, which I also do believe was a huge mistake! Unfortunately, for DTG the quality is just good enough if you can drive a route with HUD enabled. Being able to drive without HUD is a "nice to have", quality wise... TSG routes like NID (not sure about MIT, tbh) have reflective signs again... Needless to say that DRA lost all reflective signs after its Tod4 remaster EDIT: there is a great mod for Hamburg Lübeck, which makes all line side signs reflective: Reflective signs for the route Hamburk - Lübeck. - Train Sim Community
Xbox Series X: Everytime about 2 km before Stuttgart HBF the game crashes. Even if you disable some layers Really I hate complaining like lot of people here but this game isn't funny anymore.
Ah, interesting! Thanks for the info I already was under the impression that signs on some routes were more reflective than on others, and this seems to be the reason. Adding things like that because it's a good step towards realism and then dropping it again is such a waste. Having reflective signs everywhere would be a great help... I usually drive with the (minimal) HUD on, but paying more attention to signs than the HUD. Driving at night with non-reflective signs is highly annoying. Would be great to get an official DTG statement on why this has been dropped.
I opened a thread for this, back in 2023. https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/what-happened-to-reflective-signs.64241/ Didn’t draw too much attention, tbh. Was under the impression it’s not such an highly wanted feature by the community. Of course, didn’t get any response from DTG, either…
The BR140, 111, and Wittenberger. Happens Everytime. The whole game runs not good. When I go in the formation designer, every train loads blurry. And after that if I don't restart the game, it crashes after short time on every route. Yesterday I did a run on Main Spessart Bahn without a restart. Suddenly all the terrain disappeared and only the train was visible on pixels
I don't think this is true, the freight locos actually have varying PZB and brake modes preselected in timetable mode, but I think it's based plainly on total weight of the consist. That's for a bit of off-topic discussion though, however - I do think the 140 should start at least in PZB M and appropriate loco brake mode, because there is a lot of medium-advanced users who want to turn PZB on, but don't want to poke around with detailed settings. And currently if they just turn it on, they may be led by the incorrect setting to pass signals at red and service failures.
While the Vectron is forgiving of braking errors, the BR140, even with the brake modes adjusted using the calculator, is frankly mediocre in stopping. I have never experienced so many emergency stops without being able to slow down in time in the entire time I played the game. However, this adds a special interest. I'm in no way trying to imply that the brakes are bad and need to be fixed!
Do you have some example services and settings you used? I can take a look. 140 is weak in power, but I didn't notice anything extraordinary with brakes - but I always drive defensively. Usually I was even surprised how precise I can stop with it without any modern edb tricks.
Brake power for the whole train is not really loco dependent at all. If you have 20 freight cars behind you, even when the loco itself does not brake at all (because someone used its brake levers like rudders), the train at a whole should brake as usual. If that is not the case, something else is not ok. And yes, i know what you mean. With my tests for the suspension two days ago i had a rake of wagons that had obviously negative overloaded brakes somehow. So they were offset to the loco and started braking at lever notch 3 instead of 1 and that's a problem of course. Not sure why that happens.
Anyone the sort it out scenario need to couple to the last 5 wagons. And the 363 will move or anything it was fine up until this point.
I completed the entire travel mode, all flights in both chapters. The settings were as is. The day before yesterday I learned about your calculator and started adjusting the brakes using it. Now It's gotten a lot better, but I still think the locomotive requires careful handling of the brakes. It's very easy to apply insufficient braking force and not slow down in time. Emergency braking will be triggered. Or it's easy to apply too much braking force, release the brakes at the wrong time, and slow down too much.I just can't get used to riding a German locomotive, controlling the brakes like an American one, and without a dynamic brake. Your calculator is very helpful for the BR140.
FYI people i just had a CTD 1 mile from heilbronn. Driving the bnrdzf 483 this game is becoming so unstable now.
