Three shots from career missions I have made lately for Hamburg-Hannover Deluxe, in this case from Luneburg to Hamburg Hbf. Have a lot of cargo going as I pass Maschen, especially one from Veddel is fun to try to shoot. But need to be vigalant, as H-H Deluxe now has three PZB devils on final approach, and I happened to rig an outgoing train as I come in. Depending on timing, I may get a red, or pass. If I keep on making stress sceneries like this (and take screenies just before Final), I may end up with an ulcher :-p

The Railtraction BR 648 I purchased yesterday (intended mostly as KI) is supposed to have a tempomat, but still I have not found out how to get it to work. Nice diesel set to drive anyway, easy to hold speed, at least on the flatlands I drive mostly (H-H and H-L).

Simply enjoying the lighting of Konstanz-Villingen

After competing on speed with the BR101 IR to Seelze Portal, time for a dive on my way to Hamburg. H-H Deluxe. Correction: Not diving.

I'm back on HH Deluxe, 64bit. Really worth the hard labour of putting all the parts together and checking, then rechecking. I do not have much success with the existing missions from the download section here, but using the Editor I made a couple of ICE missions myself. One Cold Morning ICE from Hannover (like the default HH), but all the way to Hamburg instead of just Celle. Another summertime mission from Hamburg to Uelzen. Have lots of services going, Metronom, Dispoloks, etc. Everything is working flawlessly, frame rates are good, feeling of speed immersive. Thanks again all you makers out there... and in here.

My first zwangse free drive on the Spessartbahn. Take note the front lights. I forgot to take a peek behind my chair, so I had to Photoshop from red to white (using clone brush), leaving a small bulb inside, forgetting they are supposed to be LED. Love to shoot a train like this, when it is twisted fron one side to another.

Zitat von Kim_olesen1

Perhaps a stupid question but i’ll try anyway. Is there a way to use the deluxe to just update the vegetation on the standard RSG edition. Or is there an upgrade available somewhere (i looked in the downloads section but couldn’t find one)

Kim,

I've used the TrainWorks upgrade for years, but no more success with 64bit and TS2019. Two times in a row, I got heavy stuttering. Today I managed to remove stuff and reinstall H-H default plus the good trackrule (in this forum download section), and I'm back to 45-52 fps out from Hamburg, down to 35 fps to Luneburg with the VR expertline BR101. A small stutter now and then, no problem, need to lower my scenery density slider an inch. Happy now, and next, I will again try H-H Deluxe.

I'm very much looking forward to this one, as I grew up with it in the Varel (Oldenburg) area, in all liveries and colours. I also have three of them on my N-scale model railway, two MiniTrix with sound, one Fleischmann. Can't wait to drive this one...

I like it. Jumped right in and drove a service. The loco moves just fine, is easy to operate. The sound though, is too bass-heavy. Even from my pathetically small PC speakers.

For me, a Zverg is a Zverg until the next Zverg shows up. Speaking from reality just as a loco repairman on a loco facility. And that's all I can say about that.

Thanks Kim. I saw your video driving from Brenner, good stuff, learnt from it

I don't even know which version I have, but purchased the Brennerbahn around a month ago, always wanted to drive there. Not happy with distant mountains and all that, but I concentrate on what's near me, and I like it, bugs or not bugs. Meaning, it is not fun to se a tunnel opening long before the tunnel opening actually is where it is supposed to be.

Cheers all, and have a good zwangse-free weekend. If I'm in the wrong thread (no problem), throw me away. Actually, that I can do by myself.

EDIT: And sorry for making a mess. I'm good at that now and then.

As people are trying to learn, moderator comments like this may scare people away as well. And I'm quite "normal".

I like this loco, but for me, the AFB is useless. When I want to reduce speed, the AFB does not react to it before too late. It has to "think" for at least 30 secs before doing something. Because of this, for me, the vR 185 is the boss, with an AFB close to perfection, even in steep hills like the Brennerbahn. My vR 189 is parked for now. My Talent2 is also parked, as that "Tempomat" is useless, Arcade-style.

Das Add-On hat mir sehr gut gefallen, ich würde es jederzeit wieder Kaufen.

After driving on the Brennerbahn for a couple of weeks, I now drive the Railjet. Great train, great loco. My only complaint is when driving the Semmering mission, I get way too much overspeed (using AFB) when having to increase speed when going downhills. But I discovered I can use the brake while still powered, so next time I think it'll be allright.

Gsonz: Great video, whacko sound. Our own El-18 (Re460) was our first with individual systems for each motor.

I always get back to this line now and then, one of the best. Beware that bugger always waiting to stop your cargo train after that long tunnel when going uphills. Even in quickdrive, I never know what to expect next, lotsa fun. And I hate that broken crossings mission.

So I took a peek at the Great Western, as I have been much around in the UK. Those trains are simple to drive, and the line a pleasant surprise. Been into high speed a week, recently tried cargo. Oh dear, this is actually going well! Now for a cup of tea ...

Maybe you have missed the fact you need to enable a loco, a consist, or a scenery in order to place it? It IS hard to find a tube for that, I was lucky to find it right away, if my memory serves, I'll get back to that but no promises. Bottom line is if you get the right video (or wiki), the process is downright simple.

Had to post this pic because I as a scenery designer (for FS) have been photoshopping for years to make realistic concrete. Great textures in this pic I think, also good sunlight. Nothing magic here, just a texture psychose :-p
