    Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how to write this post….

    Let's make it short

    The upper picture comes from the map Dresden Riesa Update with the DB BR442

    Isn't it the case that the clocks on the video and left side in the cockpit don't go, no, now it still comes that the fog just floats in front of the train or is this realistic?
    Well, it goes on to the BR425 from the Bremen-Oldenburg addon

    The addon is not so old now and yes because there have been errors for a long time that the light is extremely bright outside is wonderful to see but somehow also stupid if you have an HDR screen with an extremely high resolution it hurts (I feel that I am slowly becoming blind thanks to the lighting/like the one in the ET1442)

    So DTG can this be fixed?

    put in KWG's ICE 3 aswell, the light disappears when not even going that far away (roughly 50m)

    50m (50 meters)? :D I think that’s actually pretty far for a light to be honest :D

    it would probably be the best long distance headlight in the game :D

    All non-TOD4 content on TOD4 bugs that were introduced with TSW 3 have NOT BEEN FIXED WITH TSW 4 (!) - just a few examples:

    - BR 422/423, Talent 2 DB (for me at least still) still have the light issues with the displays making it unreadable and unusable on TOD4 routes
    - BR 612's external FIS displays look like they display nothing at all in services on TOD4 routes, but they do in fact work (I noticed it when I changed the weather to max rain, max clouds, and very low global lighting via God Mode - they work but the active pixels on the displays are so dark that they get invisible in very bright lighting)
    - All TOD3 trains still suffer from bugs with headlights, etc.

    Ah well, the 442 (Talent 2) looks like she got a few fixes but well not quite and yes I understand what you mean it often see even that many locomotives and railcars don't quite work on some tsw4 routes

    sounds like an issue of an overreactive removal, things are meant to disappear at a certain distance to reduce memory, it often times overreacts and takes them away far too close.

    the class 314 PIS disappears if the camera isn’t pressed against type thing.

    They are 2 different types of lighting. Of course they're not going to be compatible with each other.

    Vehicles such as trains and ships are often referred to as “she’s” (Females) as it comes from many years ago when the captains/drivers were always “he’s” (Males)

    if you have ever watched the 1997 film titanic you should hear it in that, and probably any other program/film with a boat as it’s main point.

    I believe it's a maritime tradition and dates back many hundreds of years to when ships had female statues mounted on the bow/prow of the ship. This calling ships she carried over to the railways with locos.

    Even in more recent sci fi/space books and shows like The Expanse, spacecraft are almost inevitably referred to as “she”.

    It's because we men adore woman, but also adore our creations, "our babys". :love:

    So there is an easy explanation to just take a relation and name it "she", making it female.

    Nice how this thread turned into a discussion about that from the initial light bug.

    He should know so as well. He's german the same as we are. I guess it was his way to criticize a not-technical point of view.

    But it's fine to say she because we say "die" BR 143 for example. Never heard anyone talking "das" or "der" BR 143.

    I don't understand the issue. Which clocks? Which video?

    And what about the left side in the cabin?

    Could you elaborate your problem a bit better?

    Some ships and trains are also classed as He for example Bismarck is an He and the Big Boy too
     
  22. AtherianKing

    is the big boy specifically singled out as he compared to other trains or is it just in its name though ?

    Bismarck I would guess has something to do with Germany was a fatherland country and not motherland but i don’t have a clue on that tbh, all ships I’ve ever seen get referred to as she.

    The “she” reference is purely just how people refer to said things and most would use the name like “Flying Scotsman” over it.

    often those working on them in the past were males and having sentimental feelings towards service on the vehicles caused them to use “she” when referring positively toward said vehicles.

    I wonder if HMS King George V was referred to as 'she'?
     
  24. AtherianKing

    AtherianKing Guest

    most likely, I don’t think it ever mattered if the name was masculine or not anything such as HMS Victory
     
  25. Yup, Bismarck is a "He".
     
  26. AtherianKing

    info I found online seems to determine it was an exception to the norm by rule of the captain.

    The question of "he" "she" probably arises from a personal recollection of Bismarck's most famous survivor, von Müllenheim-Rechberg, who said that Captain Lindemann asked that the ship should be referred to as "he", in view of its awesome power.

    it’s all good, it’s just a prototypical saying from years ago what is still around, purely just a way of referring to a specific thing.

    A shot in the dark, but If I'm right, ships, trains whatever are female because they are 'owned' if that makes sense.

    that really don’t sound right

    I did say a shot in the dark, so I'm probably wrong.

    General consensus is that ships and other modes of transport are female because of their use as a "vessel" to guide, protect and nurture their contents (traditionally the role of a female, in particular a mother)

    Languages such as German or French which have masculine and feminine nouns (as well as neutral) are a different story, but since English nouns aren't gendered it is really a cultural/social decision.
