Did anyone buy this BR 442 from greenman gaming? If yes, what do you think about it?

I already have the BR 442 from DTG and it works ok when running 4-cars. When running 8-cars the time it takes to stop the train is significantly longer. It would be great to hear if this is and issue with greenman gamings version as well.

Sorry, but it's the same package. GreenManGaming sells Steam keys, in this case for the DTG BR442 Talent 2.

A patch for the BR442 is available in this thread on Railsim.de http://rail-sim.de/forum/index.php/Thre ... post293189 looks to still be wip, but should help a lot

Thanks for the link!

However, i don´t think that it made any difference when it comes to braking with a 8-car set vs a 4-car set. Breaking with a 4-car set is ok but it takes loooong time to brake a 8-car to stop.

See the attached image for the issue or read about it in this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/24010/dis ... 135757/#p2

It is a known problem with this brake combination. The brake only works on the leading unit.The patch is intended to help, but it cannot fully resolve the situation

Got it!

I think it´s odd that DTG don´t release a patch for this. Or, why did they not discover this when it, Talent 2, was in the works? Do they have any beta testers at all?

I solved it for the 8-car set. I changed the MaxForce under DynamicBrakeSystem from 50 to 100 in 442Simulation.bin. This works as a charm with the 8-car set and with the 4-car as well. The 4-car set brakes harder, as expected, but once i know that i don´t brake as hard when driving the 4-car set. I only want to run the 8-car set anyway. Brute force, but it works for me!

I changed the DryFriction as well to avoid the endless wheelslip warnings unless one brake far too hard. While a did that i changed the RollingFrictionCoefficient to 0 so one can coast the train without loosing too much speed to fast as the original settings did.
