Hello I was asking about the ice 1 I was going to buy it but on the railsimulator website it directs me to steam and steam says item could not be added I have looked on steam and can only find the ice 3 is it still available to buy

Many thanks

Not sure why it isn't up on Steam still but.

That is the verison that was on steam though.

Thanks or the help

I have now downloaded the ice and can't seem to use the raildriver divice with it I haven't used raildriver since trainsimulator 2013 but does it work with the ice 1

Aha I was waiting for someone to mention the ICE1
I too have been looking for it and was a bit unsure as to whether to wait for RSC to make it available again or just buy it from vR
As you've just bought it can I ask a couple of questions?

Does it have the same cab functions as the ICE3? (ie LZB PZB)
I know it has AFB as Ive seen videos of it, but Ive also seen it is/was quite primitive but that kromaatikse(sp?) made a mod for it.
Is it still using the 100% throttle to 0% to 100% to 0% to control the speed or has it been updated?

Thanks in advance.

Dave

im afraid i do not own the ice 3 so im not sure how simular the cabs are the cab is more like the db class 101
and im not to sure about the speed it does seem a bit slow but it's a good add on

Ok Nevermind, Im sure somebody owns both and is reading this.

can i ask one more question then
what scenarios come with the vR version, how many, what routes etc?
Thanks again, thats the last question...promise

Dave

i have just looked and can't seem to find any scenarios but it is a great train to run on the cologne to Dusseldorf route and from virtual railroads it is about £12-13 instead of £17.99 on the rail simulator website

Hi Dave, the ice1 only has AFB, but, the ice1 is a far more refined model than the ice3! Physics too are another level above the ice3 in fact I am in the progress of doing a double scenario for the NEF and started off with the ice3, but it was so dismal to drive I have swapped it out for the ice1! Not sure about scenario's though.

Hello ,
while we are on the topic ice 1 and cologne to dussledorf I just wanted to ask something regarding the route ,I have hered that it is very demanding. and it always crashes after about 5mins, and has the error message something bad happend to your game .I use the highest graphic on the railworks settings page I have 1gb of dedicated graphics ,and 4 gb of ram after looking on the aerosoft page it said 4gb is ok but 8gb is reccomebded does any one know what I need to do do I need more ram or a graphics card

Many thanks

I couldnt run C-D before the 2013 update but now it runs quite happily and am getting into german locos.

On the topic of ICE1, I went ahead and bought it from vR and emailed them asking whether it would get an update.
Got a reply back this morning saying they are looking to update the features after their next release but no timeline yet.

Also noticed the rain goes backwards on the windows

Dave

Is that when your moving?

yep, shouldnt be to hard to edit though, I might give it a go later on

Dave

I think the point is that air pressure will force the drops up/back. slow down and stop and gravity takes over and you get a case of the dribbles!

possible I suppose but gravity shouldnt make the rain go the wrong way on the side windows
ie down and forwards instead of down and backwards (when moving forwards)
