SimRail Skoda CD 163 Peršing Tutorial Żmigród

Grabbed the CD 163 about 20 mins ago. Bargain with 10% off, so under £10 what's not to like.

Hahahahahahaha, the pantograph is way to high above the OHLE contact wire.

But apart from that, a very nice loco deffo worth the price.

The loco named after a MISSILE because it is one - CD 163 "Pershing"

I just don't like that constant thyristor buzzing when under power. There seems to be a bit of a divide over whether it should be less intrusive or harsh in the cab and certainly, for gaming, there ought to be an option to reduce the relative sound level without affecting all the other traction sounds. In two minds whether just to refund it at this point.

[haverfordwest]

Why no Vern, under a tenner. Not worth the effort is my opinion buddy.

Mike.

[haverfordwest]

Way to high.

[NorthernWarrior]

With the last update the save game is working better. Loads in okay, just the driver's torch (flashlight) is switched on, which you need to turn off. And someone reported on the official forum their train direction was flipped, but I haven't encountered that yet.

Should be some more DLC arriving next week. The next route extension which pushes the line east of Lodz and a modern ( ) EMU. Think it’s slated to release 25 Feb.

[haverfordwest]

I have gone cold on it Vern, needs a couple of diesels for me personally.

Mike.

[NorthernWarrior]

I know what you mean Mike. Looking at the map of the new route it will probably be more of the same, double track in a straight line, no real challenge. And while the EMU looks nice, if I want modern there’s more than enough in TSW. A nice diesel branch line with a bit of hilly scenery would give some variety.

[haverfordwest]

Spot on Vern, completely agree with you buddy.

Mike.

[NorthernWarrior]

Well the route extension and train are okay, but some bugs have slipped in.

On the Lodz extension, some of the trains require you to run the loco round. That means if at the beginning you choose to start the run earlier, when Part 2 loads after the run round it defaults back to the original time, making you hours earlier,effectively game over.

The save game seems to have stopped working, at least on the new route.

When you could save, loading back in with the Impulse EMU, train comes to a stand with emergency braking plus alarm which can’t be cleared. Another game over.

Still waiting for the bug report to appear on the official forum and a mention in the General section seems to have brought out the resident fanboi/strawman redirecting to user error/hardware.

[haverfordwest]

Haven't even thought about buying the new DLC Vern. Too much overhead rubbish for my liking buddy.

Mike.

Anyone still running this sim?
