Kinzigtalbahn (Frankfurt to Fulda) review ~ Train Sim World 5

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2024
- The Kinzigtalbahn is the core German route in Train Sim World 5, featuring the 103 kilometres of track from Frankfurt am Main to Fulda, along with the Deutsche Bahn BR411 'ICE-T' and other electric locomotives and multiple units. However, I've had a disappointing experience with it so far, even if only because of the abysmal performance. And then there's the FlixTrain BR193 'Vectron', which is an absolute rip-off at $24.99 (NZD).
There are other issues with this situation besides the overpriced FlixTrain DLC and the horrendous optimisation on the route itself; the latter is especially inexcusable.
This is the forum thread I was referring to at 19:30

You just keep getting better and better. Easy for me to say, as you pull your hair out. You have to admit it, you luv all this. Do me a favor and just keep savin a lot of people money, unlike the DTG suck ups. Keep it up and smile, you are doing the right things.
I think dtg issue is they set a date for release that is unrealistic. So they release it and fix the issues afterwards. Also I do wonder if they try to spread their team too widely rather than concentrating on one add on at a time. I mean look at just trains they look like one add on a year fir tsw. Blackpool branches a great add on. Looking forward to wcml over shap next. Though as a sidebar I needed some rivet bits and there's a 75pc off their webstore for older stuff so have robbed them for the likes of west Cornwall for £4.99 and Scottish express for 7.99
The irony of ripping off customers with a high priced Flixtrain for what is essentially a low cost carrier train company. Way to go DTG 🤦
The br 114 etc. are in the same locomotives family so they’re like this irl to comparing wise, doesn’t make dog less lazy
Ive always wandered why do you always compare prices in new Zealand dollars, why not use euros, or US dollars?
@@danimonte7088 Because he's in New Zealand....
With regards to your question as to why DTG reused the same old 423, I would like to field this question. Laziness, that's why. Laziness.
@@StrikeEagle78 You know, they in someways are almost as scummy as EA. At least Dovetail doesn't put loot crates in TSW.
@@JessicaKasumi1990 You won't be surprised to know that DTG was founded by former EA weirdos. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. They saw EA as being one of the most hated companies not only in video gaming, but in business overall (at least in the USA), so they thought "we want a piece of that turd pie".
I’ve actually found myself enjoying this route quite a bit, although that’s mainly because of the high amounts of traffic and the wide variety of trains you can drive on it. The route itself is just meh. And at least on my end the drive in and out of Frankfurt is laggy but not to the point that it’s unplayable. I can’t blame you for considering giving up on this game, and I lost all hope after TSW 3 was announced. I mainly just play it because it has a good amount of content that is easily accessible. I can at least say this game will never reach it’s full potential because they just can’t seem to make routes that are long enough to make them feel complete, and they recently confirmed that multiplayer is never coming. The reason why I’m not that bothered about the current state of the game is because there’s a better product out there, that once it blossoms will signal the end of TSW.
Regarding the point about multiplayer being cancelled, that makes what Matt said in the old TS2017 / TSW - CSX Heavy Haul preview video sting even harder. I distinctly remember him saying 'There absolutely will be multiplayer in Train Sim World' in that video.
This route is second to main spessart bahn as my favorite German route. But that 114 brakes is non existent. Great review ! I love to hear your opinions on the routes.
When I tried driving the BR114, I thought the main issue was her poor acceleration (compared to the BR143).
@@DC4260ProductionsFrom what I've heard from a friend who is a locomotive engineer whose cousin works in Germany, and plays TSW, the acceleration is horrid compared to the real thing which he operates on for a living.
If the brake issue in the 114 is related to the scenario "Pull!" I believe its called. The failed consist you couple to, the brake key is turned on in the Cab Car behind the lead 114 thus overriding the 114's own brakes.
Turn off the brake key in the cab car and the 114s brakes will work fully again.
For timetable free roam? I've not used the 114 other than the scenario I mentioned.
Annoyingly...it's a bug THEY HAVENT FIXED.
I wish TSW or a similar type game was developed and run by a company like Asobo. Night and day difference in the quality and handling of community engagement. You don't need the backing of Microsoft to put in the proper effort on a smaller scale. But DTG has always been a close minded company hence their utter failure when it they tried to break into the flight simulation space. That community wouldn't buy into their nonsense, however as one of the only games in town when it comes to trains, the community here just has to take it. They have a whole forum dedicated to community suggestions. Do they ever address any of it? Nope. It's their way or the highway for the most part. And look what they did with that pathetic editor they put out with TSW4. Community screams yay finally! Then they find out even if they make something in it, they can't put it in the actual game to play it. That's how you destroy community involvement rather than embracing and working with to enrich the ecosystem. I'm happy to part with my money to support good developers like Asobo and to ignore the pathetic ones like DTG.
I didn’t seem to experience any performance issues with the kingzigtalbahn even thought I play on ps5 and I found the route to have no major problems, as for the Flix Train it was all ways marketed as being sold separately after the game released. I found this route to be enjoyable, as I am not a Person who pays huge attention to details like sounds and interiors. As for wcml south the only issue I had there is the timetable. Also I want to ask you to make a review about the nec New York to Trenton, I feel like they made the route a lot better but I at least want to hear you’re opinion of it be it through a video or a reply.
I've hardly played on the NEC route lately, so I don't really have an opinion on it's current state.
-_- Dovetail gonna Dovetail. I swear, they need to improve their games. And this just further cements why I've never bothered to buy anything for TSW outside maybe Boston Sprinter or maybe even Penninsula Corridor.
@@JessicaKasumi1990 At least they fleeced you for far less than some of us. I bought into an idea that never really came to fruition. Then they turned into a company that outright lies to their customers and strings them along. That was the last straw for me. They are undeserving of my money.
@@StrikeEagle78 I never bought them. I'm only supporting high quality developers for TSC.
I play this route today, using BR 193 Vectron flixtrain
