OK just guesswork from me here (and I hate to guess). My recent problem is that I use an Aufgabe (old one) where the BR218 is invoved, plus an OLD vR Steuerwagen. This used to work with the BR218 v1, v2 and so on. Then the BR218 plus Stw was available, I purchased, and after that, there was no more communication between the loco and the Stw. Problems also arised with the BR218 itself. So my thoughts is both the loco and Stw is faulty.

My BR218 with Stw did not work from day one. Kudos to Ulf who tried to solve this, but not yet solved. My problem is (or was) I always install English. Up to the BR 218, all other vR worked fine. Not so anymore. I have installed now to and back BR 218 in German and English till Kingdom Come, and it is still not working. My advice would be to hold back until Ulf (as he has admitted here) will fix what remaining problems.

The moment the sun goes up, this problem disappears. Only thing I know. Meanwhile, I avoid the darkness . PS: I tried to search to death for this problem, but it is not easy speaking English in a German forum. I sort of don't find things on the double searching or googling. I was, like the original poster, also going to ask about this... but felt I would be slammed by something like "use the search function". That IS a valid answer mostly, but not always.

Mine is still troublesome as well, won't go into details here. I trust it will be fixed in time

Today, climbing hard on Mittenwaldbahn, plus driving a Classic 103 H-H Deluxe.

Their ways are a tad messy, and here goes:

Then click Railworks & TS 2017 Downloads, then Freeware File Downloads.

If memory serves, you need to make a login, even for the freeware. It is worth the effort. I now use the payware. Take note the payware version of World Landscapes still need a patch, and the freeware patch does the job for both pay and freeware versions.

Very true . Me, I'm Reichsbahning with the BR243, a different animal than the 112, still easy to drive.

Haven't looked into details yet, but this thread also solved why my vR 103 Vrot was overtemping all the time. Could not remember my first Steam version (TEE) being like that. In another Aufgabe I replaced the coaches with vR's, now all is good, I can again drive relatively hard without popping the main breaker all the time .

So it seems. I found out by testing the vR IC consist in a quickdrive. My IR coaches are 3DZug I believe, and I don't want to purchase vR's IR coaches as well.

Solved it by using two 101's for my twelve coaches, got 197 km/h at 180kN.

Gsonz,

I also have to do some digging, like checking my amount of Coaches, then see if there is a difference between my two BR101 packages.

Correct, but after that, max 180 on LZB, maybe 190 if I'm lucky. Guess this is Munster-Bremen related only?

With the 101, I need to move the loco brake (which brakes only the loco) before setting off. The 101 also still have the problem it can*t reach LZB speed of 200 (at least in Munster-Bremen). Here I am speaking of the pure vR locos, but I believe the Steam version is the same. In real-life, no loco would have this suspectible behaviour.

Donnerwetter, AP Weather for shure improves the the surroundings. H-H Deluxe and Metronom nach Hamburg by Old Sax.

One thing is for shure, now I will reinstall all vR BR218 related stuff in German, hope I later can Anglify it

Back to Dresden-Scona, now with all assets in place for once, and it's a lot of fun. The Skoda 190E really gives me a heartbeat, challenging as it is to rig up (the NSB term for making the loco ready to drive). Here a couple of shots from today's labour. Now off for a beer. Or several beers

Thanks for the reminder, now it works. And your English is excellent.

I was about to try this (but got busy with Dresden-Scona and forgot everyting else). Well, knowing Germans (I'm a half German myself), I should have kept in mind English is not their no.1 virtue from experience all of my life (now running into my bunker)

PS; Ulf... hope you can fix this?

Tilmann,

This is not your problem at all, and I still understand your Englisj

Your Aufgabe has been working perfect for a long time, and I am still enjoying it, also as a good and detailed base for developing my own stuff. What to test for me is simply to leave the BR218 as it is, then delete the Steuerwagen, and then it will work, I'll test this tomorrow I hope. I say again... your Aufgabe is NOT the problem here. vR, TS or Windows is the problem, or all of them. Me, I'm totally innocent of course . I'll have a close look at the xml's later, for both the BR110 Stw and BR218 Stw, but hope is going down the drain, but I will not be crying about it!

Most of you do not have this problem. According to Ulf, me and another guy. It's funny all other vR stuff (I soon have their complete expert line catalogue) works fine, but the BR218 and Stw not, nor the BlBe repaint. My Tilmann scenery worked fine with (I think) BR218 (standalone) v4, but v6 gave the same problems as the BR218 + Stw package. I simply do not want to twist my head more about this, other than saying I suspect it is a scripting/xml problem, where there is a comma instead of a ".", or a missing space (a space in a xml is a value). Have solved such many times regarding P3D scenery development, but not quite ready to take those headaches to TS. After all I have working BR218's - as long as I don't use Stw's. I'm always using 64bit TS by the way.
