Just before entering Roppen Siding 1, direction Innsbruck. Pics shows the hektometertafeln.

I now think both BR-218's update and yours are not at fault. After you updated your signals though, it seems us scenario developers have to reroute the scenario. At Roppen coming from Bludenz, I just blasted through using Luckygod's latest, before your signals update. He did not set a waypoint there. Now I have to specify Roppen Siding 1 as a waypoint. Being happy with that, I got a new zwangse before Otztal. So I need to put something in there too.

BR-218

I get no more zwangses into Innsbruck Hbf now. I get a prewarning after Innsbruck Westbahnhof, and all green where I used to be zwangsed. But I got a new zwangse before Roppen, tried it two times. Have to drive past Roppen at 45 km/h. See pics.

BR-218

OK this is a surprise. I expected the download to be the Thaddaus general package - and did not see it was for the Arlbergbahn. Will do a complete reinstall now.

I tend to be ahead of myself (and that will never stop) - so I never read what I was downloading at the Thaddaus site, I was shure it was that upgrade everyone uses. That's how the brain works, it has already decided what you download before you download it.

So now I am in that High-End scenery I expected to be in. The transformation is massive, and there will not be much sleeping the coming night. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, BR-218, and thanks to all the others making this possible.

I have been using V2 all the time. As you say, best to let the pictures speak. After I turned on Procedural Flora, it looks a bit more detailed. Seems to be more grass in the fields, etc.

My two months old RTX 5070 has the newest drivers, and my Procedural Flora is always off. I experienced the same problem with the Arlbergbahn beta using a RTX 3080. I saw the new, nice gravel. But nothing else happened...

I still have those terrible RSSLO weeds everywhere. My V2 upgrade does not at all look as nice as in here, except from the gravel. I have reinstalled three times, and made shure I have a default (vanilla) Kuju folder. AP Veg is installed, but it seems I cannot see it anywhere. What am I missing?

Yes, having both scales is for shure more expensive, but these days I can afford it. I gave up H0 when I was a student, living in a small flat. I could only display what I had and not drive it. When finished studying and moving back home, starting to make money short after, I realized Fleischmann and Minitrix was the way to go, with sound locos and short couplings (already as a six-year old I reacted to the unreal distance between coaches). So I built a 210 x 120 cm N scenario, and enjoyed it bigtime. But I could not handle it alone, in order to stove it away when having guests now and then.

I now live in a flat that has dark wood-like planks on the floor. So there's the Rocoline, and the nice thing about that is that you can step on it without breaking anything. Having guests I remove all trains of course.

Right now I am painting/finishing my 160x75 N scenario in my bedroom. Purchased a so-called "hobby-plate". After cutting it is 160 x 60 cm, R2 in each corner. Perfect for my BR23, BR44, BR211 Altrot and BR218 Altrot. Using those green "umbauwagen" as maximum length coaches, and it looks good from a distance.

I like the thought of TT scale, has seen a long train in that scale a very long time ago. I also love those Z scale tracks in a suitcase, but the price is scary.

I love all the scales mentioned here. Pic shows my 160 x 600 (to be augumented from 60 cm to 75 cm) N-system being built. PS: Things are moving fast now. The station will be behind the BR 211/BR 218, just need to add a little wood first. I use this station from Auhagen as it has a good resemblance to Varel (Oldenburg).

Been using N scale for a while, but my eyes are not getting younger. So I made a decision: Make my N-scale ambitions lesser. A 150 x 75 cm scenario that is easy to remove from my kitchen bench and put away when I need to. R1 is forbidden, I use minimum R2 (because of my steam locos), and long passenger coaches is also forbidden. Going to sell it all, and keep the short stuff.

So I plunged back into H0 scale. Right now my living room is only for me, as I have a Rocoline 4,5m x 1,8m track system on the floor. Minimum R9. Two NMJ trains at traffic there for the time being. I'm planning systems with Anyrail, and will do everyting to get it all upp from the floor, and along walls instead. I cannot do this where I live now - but I can learn and plan for the future.

My first purchase was this Paradepferd, the new Trix BR 103-152-5. 750 grams of heavy locomotive. From the 60's and up, I have ridden many trains pulled by this one, in all colours you can think of.

So N or H0? - both, please.

On my way from Køln to Koblenz.

Working on timings for an Oldenburg-Bremen scenario. Arriving at Hude, a heavy freight train is coming in from Brake, and seconds later, a NWB Flirt 3 is coming in. Had to put this fictional stuff together as there's no quickdrives yet. After crashing a lot trying to get from Delmenhorst into Bremen Hbf without zwangsing, I finally got the grip on that bloody dispatcher. I'm not going to have problems with him. He is going to have problems with me, and I won. The shot is from Hude.

Finally able to login (I'm in the north sea in bad weather)...

Made a new trip with IC 2436, and managed to get my shots. I found vegetation bugs at Km 26,4 (after Delmenhorst, trees blocking the line), at Km 23,2 (trees hovering in air at the left side), and the same grass crossing the rail at Oldenburg Hbf (as others have found). The bugs at Km 26,4 and Km 23,2 I removed myself in the previous version. I have scenery density, etc at max. I let the pictures speak.

Thanks for an impeccable representation of the real thing! I just saw an old youtube fuhrerstandsmitfahrt from containerhaven Wilhelmshaven to Delmenhorst, and found a lot of details to be true to reality, especially the "container park" or whatever it is just before Oldenburg Hbf. Also my big thanks to Ice and Seku.

Bug report in a later post ,-)

Can't wait for Oldenburg - the city you wander in and always get lost in those narrow streets. I'm researching right now a couple of pictures I took when interrailing in the 90's. To my surprise I got a train from Hamburg Hbf with a DR Ludmilla and DR coaches, but I cannot remember if that one went all the way to Oldenburg via Bremen. I'll do some research on that. I would also appreciate if other members of this forum have some knowledge of this, as searching on the net usually only return business related crap contra info.

On my way to Twistringen...after working for hours trying to get all NWB consists working. Usually takes a day or two... to find out what NWB does not overwrite another NWB (the difference is Version NWB and version_NWB. Like walking into a minefield. But happy now having two NWB for the Flirt and two for the 440.

ICE 925 by Malte J. Driving the ICE2 here from the Steuerwagen; it is nice and quiet, and the sounds are good. Pic is from cab, using Ebula, and to the right, you can see MAERSK containers with a "K" - how they (almost) should be (my own texture mod).

BR323:

Got the same problem using a double set driving from the Steuerwagen. But after I replaced it with a single set driving from the engine, everything was normal. So I think there is something with the trainset, even if I am aware of buggy LZB on that route. I will try again today driving a single set from the Stw.

More info:

It seems to be a combination of a difference between the Steuerwagen and the engine, plus a buggy LZB on that route. Driving from the Stw, I can reproduce this fault any time. Doing the same Munster-Bremen gives no faults.

There are actually correct "MAERSK" textures, but only if I replace wagon by wagon. Which takes too much time.

I found the texture in question today, Container_40ft.TgPcDx, which is used for auto_beladen. Was able to convert it to .dds with RSbinTool. Then, in Photoshop CS5 with the Nvidia plugin, I put in two missing "K"'s, flattened the image, then saved as Dxt5 according to the repaint Wiki here.

The problem now is that I cannot convert it back to TgPcDx with TS-Tools; I get a message about a missing header. What to do?

EDIT:

OK, the readme for RSbinTool was unclear on a small item. Got it to work by having RSbinTool open all the time, and understood I had to save from the DDS menu, and I overwrote the original Container_40ft.TgPcDx (which I have a backup of). So here's a pic of my first go. Now I just have to find out what that font is, but it ain't looking bad for now! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Forgive for not wanting to read through the complete thread again, but:

After passing the first bridge driving from Siegen, I get a zwangse. This has to do with an indusi right after the bridge, probably warning about going down to 40 km/h before passing the first station, as work is going on there. At that station, it is a lot of milchkannen too. If memory serves, I saw in another discussion this may be because of assets no more available. Should I simply delete that magnet and the milchkannen as well? I did this with HaSi V3. Pic is showing the magnet, plus milchkanne between the rails. Milch? Dang, make a beer can instead...

EDIT:

I never thought of searching through scenarios as well with TS-Tools. I was missing the Trainworks Gleisbaustellenset; problem solved.

Please cut ICE Fan some slack. Only guy that can explain this is Erich. My brain right now is done for and useless

Battery driven electric cars, trains and planes are just downright unreal dreams made by politicians and the businessmen behind, so they can tap into our wallets even more than before. There is no solidity in such politics. No steady power supply can come from wind turbines and solar panels, and you can't order wind and sun "on demand". Better stay with what we already know and improve on that (hydro electric and nuclear electric) power supplies.

To answer original poster - best leave the trains to still be electric - as long as the power supply comes from a sensible and steady source.
