After taking a short break from building and improving existing areas in terms of vegetation, I finally moved on from the tunnel towards Hoch Merzburg. There are 13 km left for the grass

This is what the final vegetation of the entire route looks like. But if something hits me in the head and I think it looks too empty again, I'll add different herbs from RLB. It's not in the plans yet. I redo everything too often, I need to know the measure. I don't know what it's called when it always seems like new is nonsense, but the last old version looks even more nonsense.

In fact, I need to wind down the history of vegetation and stop touching it all the time, but it's so hard! I always want to add something, but FPS doesn't say thank you. In any case, I had plans not only to redo the vegetation and catenary. At the very beginning of working on the project, I was already thinking about how to add various little things to the stations, such as switch cabinets or racks with brake shoes, how I tried to do it in Altenburg.

Now catenary has been updated throughout the mountainous area. Except Bad Rinckenburg Rbf at the moment. I have no desire to climb into these side branches along the route yet, but if it appears, then I will definitely do something there. I'll leave what I have for now. The section separators will still be added. The vegetation is almost ready, leaving only 15 kilometers of hilly, but quite flat terrain to Hoch Merzburg.

Yes, it would be good for IKB to get ZZA, as my route update is just around the corner.

Hello Forza Gamer 777 ,

I´ve the error with the Tracks. Yes, I can drive on them and they are at the 2D Map. Which Route shoud I reinstall?

If you can drive on them, it means that you do not have the graphical component of the rails, it is necessary to reinstall the EZY package.

dj bahn and other guys who are always missing some pieces of rails. As I understand, it is missing purely graphically, you can drive on them and they appeared at 2D map, right? If so, then you just kind of have the same broken on unfull copy of EZY package, because I use [EZY] Gleis oS Holz1Alt bl variant in the Hosvenn bridge, for example
Installed clean copy of route and here it is:

This example from the great KBS172 scenario, all right and working

This is how the entire mountain part from Bad Rinckenburg to Hoch Merzburg will look like

Why one? It's like on Freiburg - Basel route, but with the combination of both SFS paths to reduce the number of switches and make it more compact. There won't be many trains on this line anyway.. Track laying is not ideal, but sorry, it's my first attempt at route building

Old and new:

The distant vegetation and grass are ready up to 163 kilometer, where Schwanstetten is located. Previously, the station was located closer to the center of the town, and there were fairly developed industries next to it, but all that remained of it was a small woodworking plant, an abandoned driveway and closed station.

I started moving along the branch line to Hoch Merzburg. At the moment, I'm installing asset blocks and changing the settings of existing ones to use 2D RLB vegetation from Konstanz Villingen. In some places, I've already tried adding 3D vegetation and seeing how everything looks in general. At the moment, there are no OHLE changes, if I'm going to do this, then after the complete completion of work on vegetation.

Breaking the quiet with some fresh news about this project.
I worked hard until the New Year, then I rested, studied the structure of the contact network in my country. Then successfully passed the university session and continued my work. What have I done in that time?
This is how Altenburg HBF looks now. New catenary (oberleitung), new signals, new vegetation and (unexpectedly) brand new bridge. I decided to redo it, as I noticed that bridge was very crookedly made half of loft, half of ordinary assets. Now it has a beautiful concrete base and a noise shield.

In addition, based on my new knowledge, I redesigned the neutral catenary section near Koblitz, and also began adding section separators throughout the network.

In reality, separators are needed so that you can disconnect some of the wires from the power supply and carry out technical work. Of course, the detail of these sections is limited by the capabilities of the TSC contact network package and my time, but I tried to make everything as beautiful and believable as possible.

In addition, I have completely completed the rework of the Koblitz - Bad Rinckenburg branch catenary. It remains to adapt the Hectometers to the new concrete masts. As soon as I finish all this changes with the contact network, I can finally move to the branch to Hoch Merzburg.

Niederkirch ready. Until I hang the section dividers (streckentrenner) on the wire, I need to go to Altenburg and replace the entire wire there, and then move from Koblenz to Bad Rinckenstadt.

I don't know about you all, but I really like the result. The only nuance is the tension masts with wires for wire holders. I mean this:

In reality, as I understood it, from the topmost wire, which runs in an arc from mast to mast, wires go to the bottom only where the wire holders of the contact network are located. But in the TSC package, everything here is done with a grid. I know that there are tools for manually stretching all these wires, but I already sat with one mast for about 2 days trying to figure out all the subtleties. That's why I decided to simplify my life a lot. I don't know how critical this is for you. If I ever have a wish (after the project is finally released) to change it, I will do it. At the same time, it will be possible to hang isolators more realistically so that they really isolate the wires from each other, and not just the holders themselves.

It's amazing that scenarios from IKB3 works on IKB4 too (but not all). I think the scenarios that go beyond Bad Rinckenstadt may be broken due to the addition of the SFS tunnel, but I haven't tested them yet

I decided to replace the masts with concrete ones along the entire length from Altenburg to Bad Rinckenburg, since it is easier to hang side wires on them, and it looks unusual and beautiful

Little surprise. As I have already said, there are plans to redo the entire contact network at the main (large) stations. As a result, half of these stations are already ready. In fact, only Altenburg and Hoch Merzburg remained. Then, probably, I will take care of the vegetation to Hoch Merzburg, and there, if I have a strong desire or mood, I will finish the catenary between the stations. But the heaviest piece is Koeblitz - Bad Rinckenburg, since here it is also necessary to almost completely rebuild the additional power cable of the contact network, which comes from a coal-fired thermal power plant

In general, if I haven't forgotten anything, the tunnel for SFS is ready. The catenary in tunnel, however, may be far from ideal, but it was incredibly difficult to lay it underground. In any case, it's dark there and a mega cool implementation is not needed there. It would seem that only vegetation remained, but something tugged at me and I began to redo the catenary along the entire route. I studied for a couple of days, but now I'm doing great (maybe). It's quite a long process, but I noticed a lot of inaccuracies of the original route. In my opinion, now Bad Rinckenburg (for example) looks much better. I have not hung isolators on TM almost anywhere yet, so do not write about this. I think I'll redo the catenary of the most important stations on the route, then I'll take care of the vegetation. And there I will either release the route, or finish the segments between the stations. Anyway, I like what my very small project of "adding a couple of bushes to the rails" has turned into. I love IKB very much and am glad to contribute to its development.

And one more interesting thing. After I fixed the Roter Stein package with assets for SFS, as well as fences from EZY, I redid the walls of the tunnel and the bridge adjacent to it. With such tunnel walls, there is much less hassle, because all the lamps are hung through a convenient auto-placement tool, and are not generated on a loft object (for this you need to manually arrange the light sources, and the lamps themselves are generated crookedly, since it is impossible to lay 9 kilometers of the loft for my tunnel in one segment), as is done in base IKB3 tunnels. SAD himself had to hang yellow lamps in own tunnels (where the lamps on lofts were not generated), which stood out a little from the general style of tunnel lighting. In general, there are some advantages in my replacement.

Guys, I have huge problems with the Object Set Filter. I put a checkbox on [EZY] Schallschutzwände V1 (EZY/Bahnsteigobjekte, as in manual), all the files are there:

But these assets are not in the list of assets in the editor!

I noticed that assets whose localization is written in English are available and loaded in the list, while those with German localization simply do not show up in the list.

That's why I can't fully use both Dijon-Senf fences and RoterStein assets. Now I need to use the German version of the game (this way works, tested) or edit asset names in all binaries, which is both incredibly inconvenient. If you guys have time for this, then correct it, I beg you very much. And remove the umlauts, if there are any (I saw them in RoterStein's binaries). They simply break down in systems with a different language and may not allow the game to load the asset.

Zitat von Marcel Kühne

Forza Gamer 777 - Take the Ne 4 sign away from the distant signal. The Ne 4 sign on the right side only stands by the main signal. Just in case when the main signal stands on the left side, then on the right side stands the Ne 4 sign. Somtetimes without Ne 4 sign, but with notification inside the timetable for the driver.

Marcel

Ohh, thanks for this info, corrected.

I had to use a trick. Since there is no HSP_SB 5T option in the SBS package, only together with VS, I removed SB and installed the usual HSP 5T on the mast. Wildau now looks beautiful and interesting with the mix of Ks and HVk

I had to move the VS on the other side, because there is no mast below 4 meters in the SBS HVk package, and there is a power line at about this height. Progress is under way

Wildau with the mix of Ks (distant) and HVk systems
