Expert DB BR 101 & IC Steuerwagen
Coming from the TSG team, we also have a large range of improvements to support the DB BR Expert 101 & IC Steuerwagen add-on, which we’ve detailed into sections below:
• Added Virtual Conductor (Beta). This feature can be activated/deactivated by the player in the Simulation Control menu. If enabled the Virtual Conductor closes the passenger doors when the scheduled departure time is reached. An on-screen Zp 9 signal indicates that you are ready to depart.
• Fixed PZB 500Hz non-restrictive monitoring being able to have a flashing mode indicator.
• Fixed PZB 500Hz restrictive monitoring not being displayed.
• Added a notch past the Release position of the electric brake lever for decoupling the two brake levers’ movement.
• Fixed an issue that caused problems with the door control shortcuts from the Tab-menu or keyboard when the leading loco was flipped.
• Reworked Adhesion simulation. The level of adhesion now depends on precipitation, temperature and season (leaf fall) and will vary with time and location. The simulation is present on both the locomotive and all coaches, with each axle in the formation having successively higher adhesion due to being less contaminated.
• Simulated the brake pipe inlet between the Distributor and Distributor Cut-Off Valve having non-zero volume (prevents the pressure from instantly dropping to zero if the Cut-Off Valve is closed).
• Tweaked sanding fade rate to be more realistic.
• Fixed some mistakes in the brake blending logic handling of disabled traction motors.
• Added a feature that automatically pre-sets the train to a shutdown state if the internal service name ends in “\\_BeginShutdown”.
• Added “Automatic Shutdown” menu. This menu can quickly get the loco or the entire formation into a cold & dark state on command.
• Added “Throttle Behaviour” config menu (Bpmmbdzf only).
• Added toggle for the Beta Virtual Conductor.
• Added an “Expert Profile”. This profile saves a few settings between game session such as the Chaos Factor, the Bpmmbdzf throttle behaviour, and the Virtual Conductor activation.
GSM-R
• Updated GSM-R D cell towers.
• Added support for Mannheim-Kaiserslautern.
