Chris: I have read an technical article in a railway magazine about the Thurbo GTW. The airbreak is there graduated combined with the electric break. The dynamic break act first, then blends the airbreak in. Dont know if it is the same in the other GTW.

This is how the brakes are right now in my GTW. As you slow down the air brake is blended in automatically at slower speeds (as long as you have not overridden it with the pneumatic brake handle). If you have moved the pneumatic brake handle away from the 'neutral' position then the blending doesn't happen as the script assumes you are manually controlling the air brakes.

For those other repaints, I can look at licenses from the operators but I can't promise anything. All would have PZB?

I have done air/electric on other trains and the customers didn't like it when they didn't have "true" dynamic brake. So it's 50/50 for me - I can never win

Support will be a little slower for the rest of the week as I will be travelling

Can you tell us the name of the developer @ChrisTrains?

His name is Rudolf Jan Heijink . He's done some great work on scripting and has even written a scenario scripting guide (which is a bit out of date because I'm changing the way my signs work so that they work in rolling-start scenarios).
The guide is here : http://www.dutchrail.eu/nl/dow…-scenario-scripting-guide

Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, den ZZA eines KI-Zuges zu beeinflussen? Im Manual finde ich dazu nichts...

@ChrisTrains Is there a way to change the Destinationboard of an AI-Train in a scenario? I can't find anything about that in the manual...

No - sorry. I had to make the choice of allowing the player to change the destination in-game, or letting it be set only once when the scenario was created. I thought changing it in the game was more flexible.
There is a developer who has written some scenario scripts that can force my signs to change in a scenario but he is still debugging it right now.

I can change the blueprint in the editor, then compile it for the game. But I can't change it IN the game while the game is running.

I can detect other wagons, but the dynamic brake values are "locked" by the blueprint and I can't alter those without changing the blueprint
It's frustrating - I've tried many things to get this to work ...

I have tried on several of my trains to make the dynamic brake work for multiple units connected together. The game always beats me though. I have even tried forcing the dynamic brake using scripts to send signals along the train but it doesn't work.

The easiest way to move machines or versions of windows, is to re-install the trains from the original installer. I know it is a hassle but it guarantees they will work

I was planning to make a couple of different versions - I haven't decided on the final layout yet but middle wagons with low doors will not be a problem. I can make those. Is there any other good information about Integra or would it be acceptable to just put PZB in ?

@Chris
Do you have a look at the Homepage from Thurbo? Here are excellent Infos about their GTW:
http://www.thurbo.ch/bild-und-video/gtw-tour.html

Yes - I looked around their virtual tour - very helpful !

That is the plan I need to finish the ODEG version first, then I start on the Thurbo version.
As far as I am aware, Signum is the Swiss 'name' for Indusi, or PZB

H
Mein Ziel ist, einen elektrischen GTW mit Sifa und PZB zu haben. Chris bestätigt weiter vorn, dass man dann beim Diesel ODEG den Mittelteil durch einen elektrischen ersetzen kann. Das hat aber bei dem Veolia Material nicht funktioniert. Da bleibt der Stromabnehmer unten und nichts bewegt sich.
Hat jemand damit Erfahrungen?

This is because the engine and cab controls (and script) are totally different between the diesel and electric versions. So you can't put a diesel-cab with an electric-motorwagon. For example the diesel cab has no idea how to control an electric motor or run the pantographs.

I'm also getting a license from SBB to make the Thurbo version which WILL be an electric one with SIFA and PZB.

Ok thanks.
So in my script, I make the 500Hz magnet hard-coded to influence for only 250m ?

I don't think there is a way for the PZB magnets in the route to tell me if they should have additional length. (like to 400m).

I have a PZB question.
On this page, it indicates the 500Hz magnet is effective for 250m
http://www.tf-ausbildung.de/BahnInfo/oberezugart.htm

On this page, it indicates the 500Hz magnet is effective for 403m
http://www.sh1.org/eisenbahn/rindusi2.htm

Is it ALWAYS 250m, or ALWAYS 403m, or ALWAYS the distance from the 500Hz magnet to the red light?

I have found places in the Hamburg-Hannover route where the red light is >250m from the magnet.

Yes, "Zug Überblk" is "train overview" but abbreviated.
Depot is for 'maintenance mode' - minimal power, all signs and lights off, train basically shut down.
I'll change the hyphen on button 7.

Can I get some German readers to tell me if the words I've put on this screen are good translations or not? If not, can you suggest what they should be? Thank you !

Does anyone have a good, clear, close picture of the FT95 FIS display?

In the scenario editor, maybe this will help : http://www.christrains.com/hel…wledgebase.php?article=13

In Quickdrive, use the 'search' box and type 'gtw' and it should show up.
