New DLC CD 163

[SkittleKicks Plays]

Hi all.  Just picked up the new CD163 DLC, but none of the current routes (base game not workshop) have this train listed as an option.  Do I have to spawn it in myself, or will this be added to the core routes?  Currently the only way to drive it is through the tutorial.

Thanks for any info.

You can play CD 163 on all scenarios except IR Kraków - Olkusz and TLK Katowice - Kraków. Enter the scenario you would like to play and at the start message box with train list will appear and you can choose CD 163 there.

Bought it about 20 mins ago. 10% discount what's not to like.

In these two scenarios from users, the Škoda ČD 163 has also already been added:

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

Apart from that a very nice loco.

In my system the pantograph is fine, but the store pictures shows an earlier beta version.

I didn’t notice that as not spent much time in external view. Apart from the thyristor buzzing sound it is a nice loco, but like many I really want to see a main line Polish diesel loco for the game, next.

Thanks everyone.  Why I didn't see it was based on the train sort list from the individual route selections.  By default it shows all trains, but choosing passenger it doesn't list the CD163 (none of the routes did).  I guess that was an oversight.

Is it just me or does the CD163 have the most complex cold start up procedure?  Not as young as I used to be.  LOL

I went there earlier yesterday and copied the instructions to my phone.  I'll use it until I master the process like I have with the other trains.

That’s not good, Mike. Surely should have been picked up during testing. Also seems to indicate the SimRail OLE/pantograph interface is fixed and doesn’t dynamically adjust height

[Isambard Kingdom Brunel]

I started the scenario in "ready to run" mode. But surely that should not make a difference Vern 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️.

Yup looks fixed height to me.

[Jasonic]

Yeah I have noticed the pantograph fully extended as well, it is a known issue and will be fixed soon I believe, to fix it you can lower it and raise it again and should be ok. Vern the pantographs do dynamically adjust in Simrail usually.

I updated my checklist files for the CD163 in the manual section.
