I obviously can’t claim to ever have been in the cab of other than Danish trains. However on the Autostrada Del Brennero there is a particular spot (in Rovereto if my memory serves me correct, it’s been 1 1/2 years since i last drove there) where you can look right up at a straight line of railway from the car window. And at that spot you can at least tell the signal aspect from 800, perhaps even more, meters away even in bright daylight. So i would say, go for readability at least on an 800 m distance.

I think developers have different ways of solving this. Schuster signal lightglows are particularly nice. RSSLO has another solution which, not surprisingly is less elegant to watch, but highly effective for reading signals at distances.

I think, if you are thinking about making more tsc content, which i VERY much hope you will, this is one of the things where the first route would be a good practice in order to nail it. I can only speak for myself ofcourse, but signals is one thing where if they are hard to read at a distance, it’s not as comfortable driving in tsc in comparison to routes where they are easy.

I might have a couple of videos to demonstrate if you want to have some inspiration.

Another thought. Totally unrelated. The more i drive Torino Novara, the more i think it’s the best use of vegetation on track near fields i have ever seen. It feels so very very detailed and lively because you made the effort not just to go the easy way and make do with a ground tecture, but to put full vegetation (grasses, corn etc) on the fields.

Very nice new tracks.

I don’t think i had tracks in the tunnel. Perhaps it is a procedural flora thing, because i have that turned off.

andreago71 Did the signal lights get updated this time around? I still have difficulties reading them from more than 400m distance. But it could be that they were updated but the change isn’t as big as i personally hoped for.

I was wondering if the route is so far that it has signals? I remember the first videos, and there weren’t any signals yet.

Just released, my first single with good friend Martin Harboe.

Drive the "quiet part" of the Austrian alps. This railway link is a part of the Prague - Northeastern Italy connection and is important for freight but also has a good number of passenger services. Remember to be on the lookout for randomly generated red signals, and don't forget to read the README and install the latest preload set.

Zum meines Wissen:

All ETCS in TSC is actually just a reskin of LZB.

RSSLO und LZB…..

Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

I think RSSLO will go the fictive route if it’s the SFS. Imagine them making a route on which no RSSLO locos can run.

Aber lieber die schöne beliebte Altbaustrecke mit der ikonische Geislinger Steige.

Well they did put semi-fictive signals on between Augsburg and Donauwörth.

Bit of a unpopular oppinion. I REALLY don’t want ETCS and no signals. Signals are fun. There are almost no trains in TSC that have true etcs anyway (if any), and with the non-development of tsc, not many will ever be made. So what use would would a route without signals be if almost nothing will run on it? I want to take my old trusted Vr Br101 intercity consist for a ride.

It’s totally fine for me if RSSLO blends periods a bit here, adding signals instead of going all modern and boring. Or even betyer: Germany is beautiful, give me the Altbaustrecke so i can feel i’m there, instead of racing through tunnels while the only thing to do is press Sifa.

New version of the preload set (v12) is now available. Fixes for the two wrongly tagged drivable consists that Rail&Fly found. Do let me know if you find more.

If you all go into the Assets - KO- KOQD - Preload folder and search for ".bak" files, these can be safely deleted.

tsp_lpz_2005 It's certainly no secret how i make them. I even think i've written a short how to several times, though some these of write ups might be outdated by now, as i've refined the drives over the years. I have been thinking of making an instructional video. I would love if i was not the only one in the universe making Real Drives. But i want to do it right. Easy and understandable and i haven't quite worked out how best to do that.

Agree 100% with Stan_

At this point, any addition to tsc is a blessing.

Well, you know what i’m going to say

Autobuy.

And please let’s get further west from Stuttgart so we can get the Westgerman TSC net connected to the, by now, huge Bayrische/Österieche net.

Rail&Fly Danke! I thought i caught them all. Sometimes TS-Tools just saves the driveable wrong. It’s really annoying to have AI trains clutter up the QD consist list. I will have a look into it.

V200.1 Good! I was hoping people would do that. That is one of the great things about quick drives.

The seventh release of REAL DRIVES this winter. Hope i’m not exhausting you, because i still have more on my hard disc.

Finally we have the first Italian payware route in TSC. Driving with the southern edge of the alps always within eyesight, this is one of northern Italy's most important railway links, both for passenger and freight. Be on the lookout for red signals that are random generated in this scenario. Read the README and don't forget to install the latest preload set (link in the README)

I am also a bit proud to be able to say that these are the first Real Drives officially endorsed by the developer of a route.

New year, more Real Drives. I had some requests for this one so i put it first in line. Running through the beautiful Bayern, this is an important railway link. Apart from it's passenger traffic, it also serves as as one of the important freight routes from Nürnberg through to northern Italy and eastern Austria. As always, be on the lookout for red signals, which are randomly generated. And don't forget to install the latest preload set

Just a heads up. The forum access seems to be fully working now.

RailSimer Will do

RailSimer

I can access now, but it is usually ok in the mornings. However in the evenings it is often totally inaccesible. This is why i think it is a bandwith problem, and was asking if it perhaps some kind of geo-prioritizing was going on, me being from Denmark, and having not seen any german forum members report the same problem untill now.

4/5 of the time i am unable to open the forum page. Do you have some geoblocking on that prioritizes ip adressed from Germany? It is certainly very very annoying trying to participate in a community where i’m shut out most of the time. It’s gotten worse the last months, but it’s been a problem for years.

This the error message.
