Train Simulator: DB BR 411 'ICE-T' EMU Add-On Hack

About This Content

The seven-car BR 411 ‘ICE-T’ was the first tilting train to enter service on the German railway network, and now joins the stable of ICE trains for Train Simulator.

The ICE-T was developed by Siemens in parallel with the ICE 3 and ICE TD in the early 1990s, designed to operate on lines previously served by slower loco-hauled InterCity (IC) and InterRegio (IR) trains, and traditional EMUs.

Assigned the project name ‘IC T’, with the ‘T’ standing for ‘Triebzug’ (multiple unit), the ICE-T shared many common components with the ICE 3. However, a number of exterior differences distinguish the two trainsets, including a remodelled nose profile and Italian-built tilting bogies.

The ICE-T first entered service in 1994 and has capacity for 372 passengers. Although it is slower than its sister units with a top speed of 230km/h (140mph), the trainset’s tilt angle of eight degrees enables it to negotiate the upgraded German railway lines with ease.

The DB 411 ‘ICE-T’ for Train Simulator is available in Deutsche Bahn red and white livery and features scripted tilting technology, improved passenger view and lighting, AFB speed control, SIFA driver vigilance system, and PZB and LZB signalling systems.

The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the DB BR 411 ‘ICE-T’ on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the Hamburg-Hanover route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).

Scenarios

Three scenarios for the Hamburg-Hanover route:

Training: Driving the ICE-T
DB ICE-T Replacement Train
DB ICE-T Snowy Winter’s Day

More scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game. Train Simulator’s Steam Workshop scenarios are free and easy to download, adding many more hours of exciting gameplay. With scenarios being added daily, why don’t you check it out now!

Not a terrible choice, but I would like to expose the problems with this review.

This DLC includes
- 2 scenarios for Hamburg-Hannover, which are fine, one is very easy, the other is challenging in a good way,
- 3 scenarios for M\u00fcnchen-Garmisch-Partenkirchen, 2 with annoying and 1 with massively broken timings.

Whenever the majority of the train is in view, there is a massive fps drop - use only camera 1 (in-cab), shift-2 (side) and 2 (outside the first car, looking forward), ignore 4. Free view while still at stations is okay I guess.

Add to it that
- there is massive stuttering on M\u00fcnchen-Garmisch,
- sounds are weird,
- downhill braking requires flip-flopping.. Tilts the wrong way at slow speeds. Literally the whole point of this train is broken. A few lines of code would sort this out, and they've had over 4 years to do it.. A train that says it can only get up to 140mph, but easily gets over that, making it a more fun train than the ICE3 because of the tilting, and great passenger view. The sounds make me sick.. There are several errors on this train. When it organized as a double train set, the pantograph of the second set is not raised. Furthermore, AI ICE-T can run without the pantograph raised!!
After DTG updated ICE-T, you can see the feature of light configuration. However, the frame rate badly drops when camera is positioned in front of the train.
I recommend that you buy this train as long as DTG update or fix these problems.. Nice and fast, just how i like my electric trains. There are several errors on this train.

I recommend that you buy this train as long as DTG update or fix these problems.. It tilts. Slightly. In-cab camera doesn't tilt, so you're keeping your head perfectly level while the train tilts...

Other than that, it looks like an ICE-3, it sounds like an ICE-3, it operates like an ICE-3. If you already have the ICE-3, don't bother with the ICE-T unless you're really keen on the subtle difference. If you don't have the ICE-3, you might as well get the ICE-T. It has AFB and LZB.
