I found the problem. The outside sounds should be mono and not stereo.
I converted the following sounds from stereo to mono and it works as intended:
I found that too, already, in the afternoon. Will be corrected in the next update. But with actual parameters they still won´t work as intended, because they start to attenuate on 5m distance from loco and will be completely silent on 300m and more. That´s still to far from the source (loco). I guess 150-200m will be much closer to reality.
Hi kiski It seems that your shop is not working correctly. There should be a captcha when checking out, but there is none.
Yes, you´re right. That reCaptcha thing is a novelty for PayPal paying method, however I do not have it set. That thing is needed only when someone wants to pay via GooglePay, ApplePay or any other card via PayPal plugin. But I have those disabled on PayPal plugin, so paying on my eshop via PayPal is possible only after you are logged in your PayPal account. Such paying payPal method is not affected.
If anybody insist on paying via GooglePay or ApplePay, or any other card (either credit or debit), use Comgate plugin instead that have these enabled and have its own secure system.
The new sound is great, but unfortunately the engine sound outside only gets quieter when the distance is far away. For example, if you have a train with 6 cars, at the last car it sounds like you are right next to the locomotive.
New sounds were created by Dominik and I believe his sound curve for volume is set on ListenerDistanceSquared or something like that. I ask him what is needed to change. We'll see...
I actually have one more feature request, not sure how difficult it is to implement this.
Currently, the default state of catenary system and train safety system depends on the type of loco. But if I create a scenario in CZ with the 230/180, or in DE with the 372, I might want to pre-select the catenary and safety system appropriate for the country.
This could be done by adding parameters to the vehicle number, e.g. "3kV" or "15kV" or "LVZ" or "PZB".
And, I haven't found anything in the manual about this, is it possible to change the brake mode (R/P/G) in-game?
R/P/G change is done automatically according to the train lenght. There's no such thing like setting it directly. DAKO BS4 does not have it (not in model and neither in reality).
That pre-selecting you mean only for AI? I plan to make an update, so this could be implemented. I have no idea if this can be implemented for player controlled loco, never created any scenario. Tell me, is it possible to change the name for loco when creating scenario??
Citaro Bader maybe you mentioned it, but I do not understand german 
Btw, there will be another update, due to key shortcut for BS4 key inserting 
and also some other minor PZB corrections I found today.
Stay tuned!!
Citaro Bader I saw your video. One thing - I do not know german, so I pass the sound. But I saw you have answered to the comment under the video. Correction - LVZ is not LS90. LVZ is LS IV. LS90 come later.
Also, there´s no need to switch on the 3-phase converted, while on DC 3kV. That converter is there only to convert 1-phase current to 3-phase current for oil pumps for transformator cooling system. Which is of course not used while on 3kV.
Thanks for the update, especially the audio improvements. Makes the whole thing feel even more alive
I want to make some scenarios eventually, but I need time and the goodwill of the dispatcher.
Glad you like it. Although I must admit - I still play with previous sound version. Like it a bit more - makes much more rumble and I feel like I´m on the old lady, not on something new and quiet.... These new were requested by community, so I updated them.
Update is out.
Actual version is 1.1.1
Log in to my webpage and download it from your account.
DennyW : Long story short - there are only two problems related with PZB and personally I think that for someone who never saw this is reality it´s a nice work. Although PZB has been tested quite intensively, those two bugs are annoying.
First - you can´t comfirm Wachsam when you´re driving faster than maximum confirmation Vu speed you need to decrease for your train type in time when you´re passing active 1000Hz. Means 85/70/55 according to the mode. If you´re under this speed, you´re good to go and Wachsam can be normally confirmed. This is caused by one additional timer variable I use, and I haven´t scripted it properly. It is corrected now.
Second - when you´re influenced by 1000Hz and still within 700m distance from 1000Hz magnet (yellow LED is lit) and you stop for some reason (for example some type of emergency braking, not necessary from PZB), it should be lit after run-up (of course if you´re not influenced with 500Hz also). This is not working properly and the led is off. Also already corrected.
No other problems are related to PZB.
Wait for update, it should be ok after that.
Yes, it's stated exactly like that in the instructions! And yes, that's exactly how it is in the original version. It's possible that it was solved differently in later versions, but I'm not aware of that from browsing some specialist websites. kiski
No, it was never solved differently. Although 371 were later equipped with LS90, not LVZ, SIFA supplementing remained the same.
Guys, guys,
you really don´t read that manual... SIFA is supplemented with czechoslovak train safety system LVZ Original loco (even your cerman variants) never had standalone SIFA device Look into manual how to operate it. Everything is in there.
Gainmaster I think that german class 230 is weatehred enough. Also czechoslovak 372 010. You know, I make my skins from real photos, and usually do not add anything plus. If photos were not weathered, so is not the skin. I do not plan to do anything else with skins, except small mapping corrections that arise during creating another skins by Airvolk. All this will be part of update. I suggest not to make any skins until then.
BlackHawk Airvolk is the one who create skins for this class. Maybe also some others, but until now I´m not aware of anybody else. I made standard two that are part of installation and do not plan to make any else. That´s why I made a DevBonus folder, where are shadow map and mapping map located. Skilled repainter do not need anything else.
Alles anzeigenI'm really excited that this loco has finally been released. And after a couple of test runs, I have to say I am really amazed!
The visuals, both outside and inside are excellent, modelling and textures. It operates really well, it has a lot of features and all the controls "feel" really nice, even though we just press buttons on the keyboard...
It's a lot of fun to drive this loco with the resistor and shunt notches and serial/parallel ranges, which is someting that we don't have in our German trains.
The sounds are also mostly good and detailed. However, there are some things that can be improved in my opinion:
- The compressor has an audible loop. As far as I can tell, it is the same sample that is used in the ZSSKC class 131, but there the loop points are done better. Maybe you can adjust yours as well.
- The traction motor sounds are the same as in the X6X, with the same problem: It's the same stereo (?) sample interior and exterior, which means that there is no Doppler effect when the train passes by. It also appears to be overly loud in the total mix of the sound.
- The ventilation sounds are one of the most characteristic things about this loco, and unfortunately they don't match that well yet. Again I'm comparing with the ZSSKC 131, which has a similar traction control, and there the ventilation sounds are done very well.
But as I've read above, there is already a sound update in progress by Kal000px , which I'm looking forward to
All in all, this loco fills a long standing gap in the Czech-German TSC world, so thanks a lot kiski for your work!
Hi.
First of all, thank you. I put a lot of work into model itself and tried to do my best. Especially pantos were pain in the ass, but luckily I beat them 😉
Secondly - compressor sound is not from ZSSK 131. It' been recorded on real 372 class by my friend that drive them irl. I have no better sound, so this will stay untouched in update.
Traction motor sounds are taken from peršing, as they in reality share the same type, so the gearbox. But Dominick already made them anew, so they will be altered. Not aware if only interior or all of them, as I do not have them yet, he's still about to send them to me.
Ventilators - again, they were taken on real machine too. But you know, every machine on its own 😉 interior samples will be added, but exterior will stay, as there's nothing else we can do with them.
I have finally found what glitch is in PZB code, and already all is corrected.
Stay tuned for update. All customers will be informed via mail.
A bug in PZB code has been reported - passing 1000Hz magnet with speed higher than Vu Normal will cause emergency braking. This will be corrected in upcoming update among other things.
I have scripted PZB for the first time, so please excuse possible bugs. Thanks.
Jetzt konnte ich fahren. Juhu, die Lokomotive macht wirklich Spaß! Vielen Dank an kiski für diese wunderbaren Lokomotiven, was für ein Gewinn für das TSC und die Fans der 230 und 372.
Ich habe noch eine Frage: Ich kam zu einem Signal, an dem ich die PZB bestätigen musste, aber leider hat die PZB die Notbremse betätigt, bevor ich das Signal erreicht hatte. Ich hatte nicht einmal die Möglichkeit, den Knopf zu drücken. Wie kann ich die Zugbremse wieder lösen, da sie immer mit 100 % Kraft wirkte? Egal, was ich versucht habe, sie hat nicht Gelöst.
---
Now I could drive. Yay, the locomotive is really fun! Many thanks to kiski for these wonderful locomotives, what a boon for the TSC and fans of the 230 and 372.
I have one more question: I came to a signal where I had to confirm the PZB, but unfortunately the PZB activated the emergency brake before I reached the signal. I didn't even have a chance to press the button. How can I release the train brake again, as it always applied with 100% force? No matter what I tried, it didn't release.
Hi again, I´m glad you finally enjoy them.
When such situation arise and you get the emergency brake from PZB system, you must immediately move the train brake lever to N (Z) position (look into manual which position is that). if you won´t do that, brake controler is still connected to main reservoirs, so all air will flow away through emergency ventil. This will prevent you from loosing the air in reservoirs. Wait for loco until it stops and press Frei. You must be stationary to release yourself from PZB emergency. When it is done, move the train brake lever again to J position to fill up the pipe again, thus release the train brake. Beware, if you do not have enough air in reservoirs, you won´t be able to fill up the pipe - because simply you have no air to fill. It´s a bit of trickery
One more thing - be careful if you get the emergency braking from PZB or from LVZ, which acts as SIFA when PZB is active.

Auch mit Schnellstart Funktion, habe ich es leider nicht geklappt, und es steht immer, das die Lok aus ist, obwohl die Lüfter laufen, der Stromabnehmer gehoben ist, Bremse sind auch okay. Siehe Bild.ICHch weiß eich nicht weiter, habe auch keine Lust mehr, muss ins Bett. Werde es morgen nochmal versuchen, aber ein Video wäre wirklich sehr Hilfreich.
Of course it won't work. You haven't read the manual properly or at all. Direction lever must be in P when you want to notch up. You have it in far front position - V. Those position are for shunting resistors during the ride. Once again - read that manual.
Also ich habe gerade mal versucht Aufzurüsten, aber habe es wie nicht anders erwartet, nicht hinbekommen. Die Lok aus den Video ist nicht gleich mit der 230. Ich hoffe das kommt noch ein Video.
To start up that loco is not so hard. Especially if you have an english manual, made especially for foreign customers. I made that video for Peršing because that loco lacks english manual. But this one do not. It is just few steps to be taken to make it run 
For those who have problems with startup - there´s english manual in Railworks / Manuals / EN folder
371 and DB180 are planned already. But I have no license for using ČD and DB logo. ČD won´t give me permissions, and I haven´t contacted DB yet.
Btw, that link to video is for E499.3 Peršing. Not for Bastard.
Hi guys,
class ČSD 372 and DR 230 are available for sale
Please, read the manual, guys, before you start to drive that machine. It is not so common for you, on contrary with, say, czech and slovak community, where guys are used to ride such locos. It has many things differently compared to your original locos.
Check: Railworks / Manual / EN.
UPDATE is out!!! Last version: v1.1.1
Understandable, but 372 010-9 has 2 other paintings, in blue (they are she called smurfette) and the CD Cargo painting.
But i think, thats a work for repainters
True, but again - I have no photos for it. I´m sure SK/CZ community wll make some repaints. You know, this loco class is located in the north of Czech Republic, and I´m from Slovakia. No way I can take photos by myself, I would have to travel 700km. So as you said - work for repainters.
Btw, locos have a small bonus in their folders - each one of them has their own shadow map and mapping provided, so it will be much easier for repainters to make some suitable repaints. Look for DevBonus folders 
im Hoping theire Realesing soon i Hoped someone makes a 230/163 with German Saftey System
It should be 230/372, not 230/163 but that´s just a cosmetics.
Can I pay for my purchase with PayPal? What payment options are available? Where can I buy the 2 soon? Please provide a link. Thank you very much.
Of course I will provide the link, when all will be ready and settled. Paypal, Comgate payment gate, ApplePay and GooglePay are possible paying options.
