Title: Train Simulator: DB BR 101 Loco Add-On
Genre: Simulation
Developer:
virtualRailroads
Publisher:
Dovetail Games - Trains
Franchise:
Train Simulator
Release Date: 8 Jun, 2017
English
train simulator db br 101 loco add-on
The best DLC on steam for train simulator made so far, complex enough to be a pleasure to drive, especially with PZB enabled and the HUD turned off. This is the yardstick to which all DLC should be measured
Pros:
Physics that will make you moist, (if you like rocket trains you will hate this) the 101 feels like you are at the controls
Close to perfect in cab sounds, including authentic sounding, warnings, and responses. this really adds to immersion
Comprehensive controls that are easy to pick up, really makes you feel like you are driving the train.
The only DLC with near perfect braking curves when using LZB
Cons:
Limited selection of TAV enabled coaching stock bundled, a Sturwagen would have been nice ... adding non TAV enabled coaches prevents TAV from working.
The bundled scenarios are for a route that does not take advantage of the capabilities of this DLC, for example no neutral sections and no LZB. to get the best from this DLC you will need to make your own scenarios.. This is a highly recommended extension for TS2017.
It will not replace the model of the BR101 which comes with other routes, that is not possible within the framework of TrainSimulator, but it is a very well done lok.
I always shunned scenarios with the original BR101 included with TS2017 - but I very much enjoy driving with this version.
The model is very good with a lot of advanced functionality and, for those who wish to drive with it, it has a properly working implementation of the PZB and LZB train safety systems. The PZB also has a help-function that can tell you what you did wrong to cause a PZB braking, if you turn this on (see the manual).
One of the things I like a lot about this lok is the so-called "EbULa", a computer display that shows the features of the route ahead such as upcoming speed limits and stations. It's like the route-ahead display of the TS HUD - only it's "real" and you have to keep track by yourself of where you are (by checking the hectometer - poles along the route, matching them with the display, and paging through the pages of the route-plan).
It works like the real thing (only simplified) - and that's really nice.
What makes this package really nice in comparison to the package you can buy from the website of the producer, virtualRailroads, are the included scenarios which are really very well done with a lot of realistic AI traffic happening all around you all the time.
The only two minuses of this package compared to the version available from the vR website, is that 1. the driving trailer is for some reason not included in this package, and 2. the scenarios which you can download from various German train-sim sites (such as rail-sim.de) will use the "original" version instead of the Steam version.
With the quality of the included scenarios, and the fact that this version is usable for Workshop scenarios, that's only a minor issue for me however.. Another excellent addon by Virtual Railroads, however if you want a cab car, purchase the addon from the developer's website.
My one quibble with this addon is that the LZB and AFB seem to max out at 160km\/h even if running in 200 or 280 km\/h sections of track
(EDIT) Promptly fixed. This is a highly recommended extension for TS2017.

An icon for DB passenger service
Sound:Windblowers,Tractionmotors,horn,not the rubbish recycle sound,but the exactly the replica of the real 101,like the videos on youtube.
Performance:Extremely Good\uff01
Supercar like acceleration depressive speed even with 16 Mk3a SLEP or 14 Avmz coach\uff0cjust using 150kN half of the full power.
Outlooking: Simple but catchy,especially the sloped face and the skirt panel,ensure aerodynamic. One of best locos in the TS

Supercar like acceleration depressive speed even with 16 Mk3a SLEP or 14 Avmz coach\uff0cjust using 150kN half of the full power.
Outlooking: Simple but catchy,especially the sloped face and the skirt panel,ensure aerodynamic. A highly recommended model of the DB BR 101. Definitely more of a physical simulated loc compared to the old Kuju models. It has all the complexity you may want, but perhaps not for the novice TS player. Looks and sounds are also great. There are apart from the standard traffic red livery two other special liveries: Natur and Stadtwerke.
The EBuLa specific for the Koeln-Koblenz route is a nice touch. Note: you can www.virtual-railroads.de\/patches\/?___store=en&___from_store=de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" >find<\/a> on the Virtual Railroads (the developer) a tool to install (not create!<\/b>) other screens for other routes. Unfortunately only in German.
The three scenarios are nice, but not amazing good. On my PC the Koeln-Koblenz route is already stressing things performance wise; with this loco sometimes things became a stutter fest.
Keep in mind that buying this DLC does not automatically update\/upgrade the Kuju models, nor does it update the BR 101 models that are part of other routes such as Hamburg-Hanover.
This model is technical the same BR 101 \/ Bpmbdzf IC EL as sold by Virtual Railroads, but packed as a separate asset. You have to make the trade-of as the Virtual Railroads pack comes with a steering wagon and this DLC does not. The DLC gives you three scenarios and you can get potentially Workshop scenarios while the Virtual Railroads one does not have any scenarios included. There are scenarios available thanks to the German rail community, but those usually require a lot of additional add-ons and are (obviously) written in German.
