REAL DRIVES by Kim Olesen

REAL DRIVE Olten - Zürich

A Real Drive is an advanced Quick Drive scenario. It has random generated AI trains and stationary rolling stock, even in the path of the player train. This generates random red signals so the scenario is new everytime you play it. This scenario has over 65000 possible combinations of where the player train might run into a restrictive signal.

The player train is the Re460 from Trainworx. The controls are on my second via the ts-telemetry app.

REAL DRIVE advanced Bingen am Rhein - Koblenz.

Wetterauer777

Kind of.

I have found out that the dispatcher gets the switches wrong if i make the drives too long. So there will be 4 drives for this route.

Koblenz - Bingen

Bingen - Frankfurt

Frankfurt - Bingen

Bingen - Koblenz (which is this one)

Also up for release from now untill christmas are 4 drives for the Rodachtalbahn 2

4 drives for Zürich - Olten

2 drives for Nüremberg - Regensburg.

REAL DRIVE advanced from Koblenz - Bingen am Rhein. The scenario can be found in the download section.

Hi there. It’s mostly because the signal blocks between Bingen and Koblenz are so short that when you in the time you take between passing the Vorsignal and reaching the Hauptsignal, the train in front of you have already left the block in front of you.

If you look at real Führerstandmitfahrts from this route you will see this is the case in real life too. In this respect these drives reflect the reality pretty close.

The signals mostly behave as they should. It is only the area around the tunnels that are completely broken.

That is how it is in real life too. The blocks that have a stopping point have the KI trains stopping there. So the chances of getting a red ligth before these blocks are bigger than at a block that is just freie Strecke. At those places you are more likely to meet a yellow Vorsignal and when you reach the mainsignal the block has cleared. Or the main signal shifts from red to green as you get near it.

Just like real life train driving. The shorter the signal blocks, the faster they become empty. And the linke rheinstrecke has the shortest possible signal blocks of any German TS route i’ve driven.

I also find it boring if you have to stop at a red light everytime you there is a yellow Vorsignal. It is also a challenge to pass a yellow, PZB acknowledge, near the red Hauptsignal, see it turn green, PZB free yourself (if not too near).

And if you look at Führerstandmitfahrts from the route, you can see that often there is a yellow, but the main signal shows green because the block has cleared.

So these REAL DRIVES very much reflect real life.

StS to my knowledge and observations AI trains run at line speed, and as such not too fast.

I have a lot of almost ready REAL DRIVES. They will be released within this year, and are all of the new REAL DRIVE advanced format.

If all goes, well expext more than 10 REAL DRIVE Advanced scenarios before we are in 2021.

Here is a video of one of them:

REAL DRIVE advanced Zürich - Brugg - Olten.

Working on REAL DRIVE advanced scenarios for Salzburg - Rosenheim

DB-Freund Don’t worry it only crops up on my system, it wont be there on yours.

But sometimes older locs do appear in real life. There is still an e94 in service in a private company.

The REAL DRIVES for this route are now available in the download section.

jhz37 That makes me sad to hear. I really liked the thought that somewhere in the southern Germany this crazy Lokführerin drove around in the coolest Elok ever built.
