I wrote him on Fb.

@XinoTroN no, at this moment, I am not making any more reskins, that will be left to all You users.
Now I have decided to give the ATB a try on implementing it. I have reworked the cab and made a new system for showing all signals in cab as SetTexts, not as nodes in model, these are now not limited by max nodes limit in cab so I thought that when there is a possibility to do the ATB, why not. The other question is whether or not it will be realistic, because I simply never got to know this safety system. All my materials I´ve got now are some videos from @ChrisTrains and some videos from Dutch train drivers. But it looks quite simple.

Hi guys!
Please, do anyone of you know how Dutch ATB system works? I have found some info on Wiki or from ChrisTrains videos, but I´m not sure if that is enough.
Thanks a lot!

@TheZui yes, it will also be possible to transition both from STM and to STM.. I will make some track markers for it
@XinoTroN in some of my previous models, JachyHm tried mapping SB for Backspace, but main reason was the type of controller used on 380. I don´t think that it is neccessary here

It is controlled same as in other models to maintain the controlling concept, however if you get in EB, you can just put it back and release the brakes.

Hi guys! In this video you can see some of basic functionalities of ETCS on my model.
At first, you can see how to put all data into train memory, confirm them, select ETCS level and then perform SoM (Start of mission). After SoM, ETCS is put from Standby mode to Staff responsible mode, in this mode, you can depart from the station. After the train passes by last junctions, ETCS will ask driver to confirm TAF (Track ahead free?), after this, it will switch to FS (Full supervision). In the video, TAF is asked a bit earlier - because not all routes in TS have implemented ETCS, it can also require TAF after a certain distance from start (this distance will probably be made longer, now it is set to 450 metres). When driving in FS, right from speedometer is the planning area - in this area, you can see distances of coming speed restrictions and a yellow line, which signs a point from where ETCS start to compute braking curve. Braking curves will depend on data you put in ETCS - train length, max speed and braking percents. It is a bit buggy by now, you can see some graphic glitches going on which I will hopefully get rid of. Around a middle of video you can see transition from ETCS L2 to L1. When doing transition to lower levels, driver has to confirm the transition otherwise ETCS will apply emergency brake when passing by LT (level transition) signal.
Everything you can see in the video is still WiP, I will be glad if you notice any mistakes or irregularities and tell me. The model also accepts messages from markers made by ChrisTrains.
Also I am working on a small pack of track signals for ETCS which will be available for free for any other route makers for implementing in their routes. When I have it completed, I will post it here in download sections.
I hope you will like it!
Video is here!

EDIT: Transition from L2 to L1 is not required to be confirmed, only transition from higher levels to L0 or LSTM, I will correct that.

A little peek of how the ETCS should look. Some basic functions now at least seem to work properly, but there is still a lot of work on it!

@TheZui what you are showing is loco with different software. Versions used in Czech Republic display forces only up to 300kN. Voltages should be shown for both locos if used in dual mode, but I have some problems with node count in cabin, so this is "nice to have" functionality, which can be done after every other more important things are done. But thanks for noticing!

@XinoTroN it is due to YouTube, I´ve recorded it in 2560x1440px and uploaded just a few minutes ago.

@jozopa I´m not sure how it is in german versions (146, 186), but czech modification as I´m making it (at least in czech language) makes the sound only one time.

Metrans 386s in dual mode

Traxxes can now work in dual mode.

Hi! Sorry for not keeping you updated so much, I have a lot of work for university exams, so there is almost no time left for sim.
In the last few days, I managed to get some new recordings, as you can see in video posted below. I have changed mainly sound in higher speeds, also traction engines sounds are a bit different. Some changes in exterior model were also made - a little changes in SAs and I´ve corrected front side of loco, there was a line of sealing (the black part above front windows) missing.

The panters (regio and inter) are WiP for some years now. A friend of mine was making them, but he is stuck now.
I have some plans for newer diesel locos and also for the City Elephant - exterior model is now completed, interior and cab are remaining. But that will get focused on later.

Most of people, who started doing stuff to RW were from previous CZ MSTS scene - almost no one there made payware addons. There were only two payware routes, I think, so that is why it is such a faux pas to talk about payware addons in our community. Many people told me, that I should have made my previous model (Skoda 109E) as payware, but I wanted to show everyone, that good quality content can be made also free.

I am not sure yet, but I will probably start my own shop - it will be a lot easier to do all necessary financial and bureaucracy stuff. Also if I will have time in the future, I would like to start making some more payware models from Czech Republic.

@Lokomotion189 Yes, that´s an existing function, but it´s from ETCS. It doesn´t have anything in common with PZB/LZB, it works only in ETCS L0+, not ETCS STM (which is PZB/LZB).

@Niopc01 No, the model has nothing in common with Chris´s 186.
@mixlivetobi Yeah, I know, the yellow bars with marked speed are missing now, I will add them later - as I have (at least I hope I did ) mentioned, the PZB/LZB is still WiP and could contain some issues - thanks a lot for pointing them out! And if anything else seems odd or missing, please, tell me.

I hope it will be skinable.

@Krone Main texture mapping looks like this
