Linke Rheinstrecke (Mainz to Koblenz) review ~ Train Sim World 4

[@StrikeEagle78]

Lag spikes? No no no no. Impossible! I have been assured by many of DTG's white knights and even their own staff that this game runs perfectly at all times. It's just us that need to get our head's checked. Anyhow, my condolences for the loss of your hard earned 28NZD. DLC for this game should be running at around $10 for this outsourced shovelware. And even then I'd advise only buying it on sale and never day one. Anyhow, another nice video.

[@DC4260Productions]

Sarcastic humour. I like it.

[@taproot12]

That's the thing that bothers me the most. Technically the game is an absolute dumpster fire, yet many DTGs fanboys will side step this issue by just blaming it on the Unreal engine. It's like the devs are hiring keyboard warriors to protect their laziness...

[@StrikeEagle78]

@@taproot12 Yeah it's pretty odd the amount of brain damage their fanboys have to not see the obvious right in front of their eyes. I'm surprised Epic hasn't told them to calm the f down on blaming their problems on the unreal engine. They've been doing it since the release of TSW3. No other game running on this engine runs this bad. They're happy to slander another company's game engine to deflect from their cognitive deficiencies. Pathetic.

[@spottymaxy1628]

​@taproot12 Yeah, I have noticed that a lot on the discord server

[@AntoniusKla]

I love your TSW Route-Reviews! And the intercity coaches which are hauled by BR 103 have been in service for over 50 years.

[@maxklein2057]

3:57 These coaches are accurate, the colour scheme was introduced in 1987 to replace the IC79 colour scheme of said year, where first class coaches were painted in Purple red/ivory and second class coaches were painted in ocean blue/ivory. It’s a shame though that they didn’t include the Interregio paint scheme, of which in 1991 2 lines where newly set up and navigated along the Linke Rheinstrecke.

[@spartan117zm]

Same, big shame we didn’t get IRs. Thankfully the Creators Club comes in clutch in that respect. The other thing I wish is that they would’ve added a small percentage chance that 101s would sub in for the 103, since they were just becoming active at that time. My guess is they didn’t want to bother creating another livery for it, though this brings my next point in that I also wish they’d have offered the 103 in Orient Red as well, since it was also running in that scheme at this time.

[@spartan117zm]

In thinking about it, now that we have the Expert 101, it would be super cool to have it retroactively added to this route with the IC coaches in the older paint scheme alongside an Orient Red 101.

[@sebonator3000]

My favourite part of this addon other than the IC services, is the closing door chime of the IC cosches

[@vincentthekeeper2163]

Very much enjoyed this route

[@TB76Returns]

I certainly have a bias for this route being set in the year I was born, goodness am I that old already? It is certainly a lovely scenic route through the Rhine Gorge as it is called between Bingen and Koblenz, and I often play the Scorpions song Rock you like a Hurricane between Bingen and Mainz when I am running at 160kph on the 103, as I seem to think of that for some reason. I would also reccommend the 'Linke Rheinstrecke Timetable: IR & SBB EC Coaches + Virtual Destinations' mod from Train Sim Community which gives you the IR and SBB coaches as well as the destinations on the board being extended. All it needs now is the BR 120, which I think may be that German Loco in the roadmap, hopefully I am right. Side note: TSG should do a 90s repaint of their 218 for this route and the Niddertalbahn

[@DC4260Productions]

I reckon a BR120 would be a nice addition for TSW, but I'm not holding my breath over that in case the German engine on the roadmap turns out to not be the BR120. As for Rock You Like a Hurricane, that's an absolute banger. It's kind-of like the German equivalent of Crazy Train, as weird as that sounds.

[@TB76Returns]

@@DC4260Productions Indeed, I hope it is. Also get that patch from the Train Sim Community that I recommended in the comment....

[@DC4260Productions]

I'll give it a try at some point.

[@Sertorma]

Porque no hay alguna linea española en Train Sim World 4?

[@WhisperingWiltshire]

@@MrShadowTvManhe’s just saying the truth.

[@MrShadowTvMan]

I’m going to say it THERE IS NO LICENSING FOR GOD SAKE

[@valentin7574]

8:18 Absolutely agree! Luzern to Sursee is such an embarrassment. I would have been so much better had they extended the route to Olten and added Inter Regio trains or freight services

[@DC4260Productions]

I still haven't got Luzern to Sursee, mainly for the sake of my sanity.

[@True_NOON]

I will die on this hill : there was a perfect opertunity to have a 120 addon , it had a standart cab , the tech that was used later in the Ice 1 (the 120 being a testbed for the Drehstrom or AC electrics) , due to power transmission via magnetic tractionmotors it also had a full flexibility in its gearing basicly on the fly , making it suitable for both passenger and freight workings , wich it couldve spiced up the freight and interregio scene a lot more

[@TB76Returns]

I'm speculating that the 120 is that German loco hiding in the Roadmap

[@rhwinner9001]

I’ve been waiting for this review

[@idham.21]

The only use I have out of this route, apart from the BR103 and its (better than average) scenery, is driving other German EMUs in Timetable Mode by adding the train, so that I can drive at my own leisure while still having other trains on the line, as sparse as it is compared to something like the London Commuter.

[@nicholasmills6489]

I enjoyed this route. Different to the usual German ones. Bit linear but the 103 was a great machine to drive.

[@foldupep5180]

Hello! Would please give me your settings from Nvidia Control Panel for gaming and also if you have anything special in TSW 4 Settings? I have a HP Omen laptop with RTX 4050 and I wanna play TSW 4 on the best graphics, but it seems that I get pixelated shadows in windows and a bit blurry on bigger distances, but everything is set to ultra. Would you please help me with this?

[@DC4260Productions]

I don't even know what a Nvidia Control Panel is, and I don't use any special settings in TSW4.

[@foldupep5180]

@@DC4260Productions Alright, thank you! Your videos are awesome, you got a new subscriber!

[@Bull3tBikes]

Thats odd KZbin seems to have unsubscribed me from you, but im back for some more TTSFT reviews :)

[@stepankubicina2768]

The biggest let down here for me are the passangers not working on IC services. But maybe that's just issue on my computer.

[@godzillafan2462]

Pardon Me for Asking Trainspotter will you ever give another video dedicated to steam locos to maybe see which one is best in your opinion

[@DC4260Productions]

Not a ranking or 'tier list' video in the traditional sense, but I do have plans for a video showcasing four random Caledonia Works add-ons.

[@breitbaubernierealtalk5506]

Me and my brother like to do some freight "jobs" in big Train junktions. You have to visit germany, we live here. The real trains are amazing ❤

[@laurentyves9538]

I have this line on my TSW 4, the scenery is good but the trains are atrocious!! The DB BR 103, 110 and the N-Wagens Cab had all the same problem: when I braked a little to reduce my speed and return to the limit for some reason I couldn't accelerate again. Why??? Maybe the circuit braker opens? I'll check it out

[@OskarEhmsen]

If you try to power when breaking the breaker opens

[@stingerbean1848]

If you have the power lever not set to „off“ when braking you will get a traction blockage which you remove by returning the power lever to „off“ and opening the brakes

[@Cr1mson_sh6d0w]

This what Ive been waiting for, I wanted to buy this route and was waiting for a good review

[@horcsogkovacs6465]

Finally someone who also wants to have a hungarian route!

[@peterlinsen7062]

I think you forgot to mention the grass randomly on tracks at Gau Algesheim.

[@jwrailve3615]

Love the scenery, the operations are insanely boring. Got it for free I think actually. Idk how maybe it was a bundle idk. The night ice run was by far the most enjoyable but after you have ran through once both ways it’s just nothing else to do

[@jwrailve3615]

The constant stuttering though is brutal

[@assetto1360]

​@@jwrailve3615No stuttering on my end. Perhaps you lack processing power?

[@br.442_fan]

Nice Video!

[@SRN42069]

I really hope we get Japanese routes someday 🙏

[@DC4260Productions]

We're getting at least one at some point. It's the Tadami Line from Aizu-Wakamatsu to Tadami, I believe, and Union Workshop are making it.

[@MrShadowTvMan]

it’s in heavy development

[@breitbaubernierealtalk5506]

Tagami line is work in progress. . . .

[@Grumpy_Englishman]

I actually said this route was pretty good when you announced your video.. I was talking about a different about a different route these German names always get me mixed up. The route is very bland and mediocre at best, only really got it for the additional of the new loco

[@thomaswatkiss9484]

Is it a me or are that dtg is only in it for the money oh no wait that's normal

Too linear? Your reviews are too linear
