Time to revive a VERY old topic.

I'm working on updates to the GTW for my Dutch product but I wanted to include a few fixes in the Thurbo version (so please do not explode with requests for new stuff - this is a mid-life update so it's not going to be hundreds of hours of work). I've already improved a few items but I have two questions:

First question I have is about UIC codes.

In most European countries, the UIC codes are per-wagon, so an electric multiple unit with 4 wagons would have 4 UIC codes. In Switzerland it *looks* like they have one UIC code for the entire multiple unit. I've seen a few photos of different ends of the same RABe526 where the UIC code was the same on both end wagons.

Is this right? Do SBB typically use a single UIC code for an entire multiple unit (I could see that, given that you wouldn't typically ever split the components).

This is a good example :

The identifer on the front wagon is 773-7 and it's the same on the back wagon - 773-7 - which then shows a UIC code of 94 85 7526 773-7 CH-THB. If they were using unique wagon identifiers, then the front and back wagons could not both be 773-7

This is the source of this question and confusion.

Second question comes from a reply in 2018 from KiDmorbid : "There are many things wrong in the current version of the PZB in the ODEG and Thurbo GTW e.g. there is no "Zugbeeinflussung"-voice, its a beep like in the RS1 or Flirt 3. And you always hear "Zugbeeinflussung" BEFORE you hit the acknowledge button, when you pass an active 1000 Hz magnet."

I've already updated the PZB to be the same as the RS-1 but I can make some other minor changes. For this one,I would like clarification on this because as I understood it, the 1000hz magnet has NO audible warning in the cab, ONLY when you acknowledge - which is how I have it coded right now. All other PZB explanations (written and video) would seem to agree I have it right - no audible warning in the cab)

You're welcome

I'm going to put the 'XL' patch on my helpdesk so it will be available for the public.

This is where the compromise comes in - for the Meridian version, every wagon is different - they're not just flipped because the equipment on the roof is in the correct place but the doors are not. For the 6-wagon XL versions, there should only be pantographs on one car and the A and B wagons should have their doors at the back, not the front.

That's the problem with the Flirt3 - it's "modular" - which basically means that while most people think it's the same, no two operators have the same options and you end up with hundreds of variations

Ok. There is a patch for the community to try. It's not "public" yet - it's shared on my personal OneDrive:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ar_8LTvkckf1nRpbZJO6Md8rknAc?e=nYQH52

This adds a new wagon type "Suwex DXL" with a new exterior and interior texture, new passengers, and an example new 6-wagon consist called "Stadler Flirt 3 Suwex XL", with wagons in the order A-C-DXL-DXL-E-B

It is a bit of a compromise, obviously, but I think this should get you all what you need to start repainting longer versions of the train. If this is basically a good patch, let me know and I'll make it public on my helpdesk.

Ok - here is the current wagon setup for the Suwex flirt (top picture). You can see colour-coded wagons, and the colour-coded wheels show which wagons have bogies and which do not (for example the "C" wagon has no bogies).

I propose making one new wagon - "D new" which replaces the "D" wagon so you would end up with the second picture (bottom).

I realise that the real 6-car Flirt only has pantographs at one end, but that is much more complex to do because it would involve scripting changes in the engines and wagons too. The quickest, simplest approach is a new "D" wagon with doors in, no pantograph, no toilet. I think if I make this, then the community can paint the train for how they want it?

Zitat von Knoedel

Thank you for the update ChrisTrains. I will be happy too if you could make a version for the Meridian!

I can't make the Meridian version - they refused to let me have a license. But I can try to make new wagons for a 6-car Flirt that the community can then repaint.

I'm going to be looking to see if I can do some white wagons so the community can make a Flirt 3 XL in the next few weeks / month.

Zitat von Clasho

Thank you for your help. But if you mean the D-wagon from the Süwex model: The D-wagon of the Süwex model has no door. But we need a door in all wagons.

Ok.

Zitat von Clasho

BlackHawk soweit ich das sehen konnte, sind die Türen an der anderen Seite der Waggons.

Ich habe gerade mal probiert, einen 6-Teiligen Meridian aus den bestandteilen des Süwex zu basteln. Ergebniss: Ich habe viel zu viele Pantographen, zu wenige Räder und zu viele Toiletten. Von den Türen her müsste das theoretisch stimmen, wenn ich das auf dem Bild, was ich mir als Beispiel genommen habe, richtig gesehen habe.

Waggons von links nach rechts: A, C, C, C, C, B

Sorry, das ist mir gerade ein bisschen kompliziert, das alles nochmal auf Englisch zu kommunizieren, bin in Englisch nicht so sehr begabt.

Google translate always helps me

I am going to be away until October 19th but when I get back, I will look at this and see if I can come up with some white wagons that fit properly with the bogies etc. So it would be A-C-D-E-F-B.

Zitat von TrainsimTV

ChrisTrains the E and F Wagons do not have a pantograph and Toilette.

But they are based on the same C/D design as the Suwex version?

The six-wagon version - if I was to do white wagons with no paint, what is needed?

I presume the "E" and "F" wagon types? What are the differences between these and the "D" wagon?

I'm not sure what we're talking about here but I'd be ok for something like this - but it would be in English ...

The sensitivity of the lever movement is part of the engine BIN file.
Look in Suwex Flirt3 A.bin
The control is called "ThrottleAndBrake" - you need to change the "analog input sensitivity" and the "digital input sensitivity" using RWTools.

I am slowly moving all my installers to Setup Factory now and that seems to have a much lower "false positive" rate .

I wish I knew what caused this. I've submitted all my installers to Microsoft, Norton, Avast etc for whitelisting ... still problems

This is a false positive by the antivirus. Unfortunately you probably need to temporarily disable the antivirus during download as well as during install

Ok good
The licensing message was a problem when TS2019 came out so I had to rebuild all the trains last year. The newest installers correct these issues

Zitat von FrekoLP200

Moin,

ich habe vor kurzer Zeit meinen PC Zurückgesetzt. Nun habe ich RailWorks wieder über Steam installiert. Steam, sowie der TS liegen beide auf D:\.

Jetzt habe ich jedoch versucht den GTW wieder zu installieren (gekauft bei RT) und sobald ich nun das Szenario starte, kommt die Meldung das Fahrzeug sei nicht mit dem originalen Mitteln installiert worden.

Cache ist geleert, neuinstallation des GTWs auch...

Kann mir da jemand helfen? @ChrisTrains

Do you know which version the RT store sent you? It should be "ChrisTrains_StadlerGTW_v2.0.0.exe"
That version should solve the problem with the license message.

Zitat von Rincewind079

@ChrisTrains

Can you please tell me how to solve this problem? I've installed it, with the serial number from my order, already two times and still getting this message.
Sorry, but that's really frustrating. I really don't understand why have to waste the valuable time with such useless copy protection problems..

The other thing you can do is install the newest version - this will solve the problem. This was a problem with the change from TS2018 to TS2019 - it messed up all the licensing
