Superb, tygerways! The P/R and G tables were really good, I finally understand it now. Shame about the insuficiant brake effect on the decline for M mode, but just shows the importance of running brake tests now and then. Again a massive thanks to you and Openminded for the Excel sheets both the brake setting calc as well as the buchfahrplan. A huge effort and one that takes TSW DRA to a whole new level. I will definately check out more of your videos, it’s a complex thing to explain in this format but I think you succeeded very well. Big thumbs up.

Just finished my first Dresden PZB freight route in the 143, no HUD of course. Absolutely fantastic. You should talk more about yourself. How did you learn all this? Have you been on any of these routes? Where you born in Germany? That's if you don't mind giving out a more personal introspective, of course.

Enchanted to hear this! The information given in my German videos is for the main part gathered from the directives published by the DB Netz AG on their website, pieced together and corroborated by other sources that I found on the internet. Being able to read German obviously helps with this a lot, obviously. :) Regarding the brake setup specifically I was inspired to learn and dig deeper by an epic thread on the Dovetail forums created by cwf.green (who does an amazing job in general for the more sophisticated aspects of the simulator side in the game). Openminded supplied me with a lot of extremely useful information here as well. For UK matters you can find a lot in the train driver handbook and other documents issued by the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB). For US routes it is a bit more complicated because of the fragmentation of operating rules, so apart from the Federal Code of Regulations, some FRA documents, the NORAC rules, the GCOR and some operating rules and special instructions you can find on the internet I have to rely on secondary sources (like guides, charts, cab ride videos, etc.) and corroborate them against each other.

As far as driving the trains is concerned you can get some information from operating manuals that you can find on the internet, but most of it is driving the trains without the HUD covering up everything, but watch the gauges and indicators, listen to the sounds, play around and get to "feel" what the train is doing. That's why I am so happy to see that you seem to have experienced a similar rush of "immersion" that comes from switching off the HUD and rely on what the train is telling you.

@@tygerways6615 First of all, thanks for this informative video. I also use TSW2 and I have to turn on the HUD. On the one hand, I can't see the instruments and PZB lights from that distance in the game properly, and on the other hand, (and this is the main reason), there is no detailed schedule for specific trains in the game, what I regret very much. This is included in Zusi (you probably know it). I worked as a train driver in Hungary back in the 1970s and 1980s, so at that time everyone took their own schedule book with them to the service according to the defined line assignment. Needless to say, it was a great help for the work and it would be nice to have it in this game as well. Question: I see that the HUD is turned off , but how do you turn on the menu line that appears at the top of the screen (time, next stop, etc.)? If I turn off the HUD with F1, the top menu line is also turned off. How do you separate them from each other?

@@furedipeter2146 Thank you for your feedback! I am enchanted to hear that you used to work as a train driver in Hungary back then! That is a background that no one of us simulator dilettantes can dream of having. :) In the "Options/Settings" section of the game there is a subsection called "HUD & Gameplay" (at least in TSW3, in TSW2 in might have a different name). Here you can switch on and off many HUD elements and markers independently. The main HUD section in the bottom right of the screen itself you can toggle on and off by pressing "Ctrl+5". There are other keyboard shortcuts (mostly Ctrl plus a number key) to toggle other HUD elements.

Thanks for the German route videos! Really informative. Which German route do you think is the best in TSW? Preferably one that comes with a really detailed loco!
@tygerways6615
2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! Always hard to say what's best, but I think for TSW2 the Dresden Nahverkehr DLC would be my first pick. It offers the most variety in rolling stock, route options and signalling/safety system action. And it is the first DLC to have working GPR-brake-selectors. Probably the most detailed German loco is the DB BR 101, that just got an insanely detailed overhaul, but you would have to get the loco DLC plus the Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr route DLC, where it lives in. If you buy TSW3, I would never do so without including the Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel - Würzburg.

I got a question about the multiple unit container cars. When calculating the relevant braked weight, does the 108t value count for each pair, or each individual container?
@tygerways6615
Жыл бұрын
All the values marked on the Sggmrss container cars, including the max. braked weight of 108t, would be per pair of 2, not per single car (same with the Laaers 650 autorack cars). The markings tell you, though, the max. braked weight of each single car/brake distributor in a form of, here, '108t (36t + 72t)'. Note also that the 108t is a maximum value for the automatic load change. The partial braked weight (36t respectively 72t) should also be repeated at the distributor cut-off handle on each single car, together with the axles that it refers to, like 'Max 36t, 5-6' and 'Max 72t, 1-4'. In the game, though, both distributors show the 'Max 36t, 5-6' marking, what is incorrect.

@@1992wcwood In principle yes, but only if the cars are loaded in a way that they weigh at least 108t per pair. In the game, the 'loaded' cars weigh only 69.5t per pair (at least they did in TSW2, according to my experiments), so due to the automatic load change the effective braked weight per pair is only 69.5t accordingly.
