http://en.shop.aerosoft.com/eshop.php?a ... ge=english Hope Aerosoft have done a good job of this one? A BR628 & BR189 are packeged with the route.

It should be very good Mart, if you think back to the VR threads you will recall that one particular perfectionist is involved in this, the others aren't slouches at what they do either. There is a thread over on Railsim.de http://rail-sim.de/forum/index.php/Thre ... /?pageNo=1 Aerosoft are the publishers, but the team producing this are external as far as I can see.

Aerosoft is producing this route, not only pblishing it. Kevin, who is an employee from Aerosoft, did a great job done. Vr (BR189), me (HQ-Tracks and track laying, signalling, full manually catenary placement and other railroad techniques related things) and influenzo (BR628) was involved as an external part of development. As well the Signal-Team who spend their nice H/V system. Also RLB Team (Jakob) who build the nice catenray objects. And alot of other people who spend their work into this route.

Glad to hear it. I was very disappointed with the Dusseldorf route.

I need that in my life. So many childhood holidays in the Mosel Valley!

I'm looking to get this but just wondering, is there any advantage in pre-ordering it ? none that I could see.

Judging by past events the release for download will overload the Aerosoft servers for a day or two, so if you were in Germany the Disc might be quicker. But I think for those of us far afield it is no advantage unless they send it early to those with pre-orders.

A new BR189 from vR?

I thought the BR181.2 was the main locomotive on this line. I think that is a good looking loco that would make a nice addition to the fleet.

A little dissapointed I am with the motive power choice. The route is probably set in the present?

Same date for downloaded or boxed version?

Same date for downloaded or boxed version?

No idea, we've only got the date for the boxed. Hopefully the download version comes out earlier!

Slightly disappointing a BR181/2 is not available for this route - maybe VR have a release planned ?

[MaikG]

Take a BR103, stop acceleration at 150kph and close your eyes, and voila -> 181.x ... almost the same stuff in there

Hi
When I was at Cochem in 2011 quite a few of the freight trains were hauled by ExDR 250,DB 155 Locomotives,passenger trains were a mixture of DB 111 and DB 143.

I had a look at the pre order page and it's been like that since January,I don't like paying for some thing that keeps haveing the release date put back like this route has.

I hope that one day this route will get backdated to the early seventies. Now it’s just another German electrified route, but I remember the line in 1970, still unelectrified and offering a steam spectacle with 01, 23, 44 and 50 classes (+ V60, V90, V160, Schienenbus and VT24). Now that would be a route I would instantly pre-order….!

...Now it’s just another German electrified route, ....

If you look from a landscape-simulators view, yes it is another german elecrified route as any other out there. But is you are more interested in correct track laying with right superelevation and eased gradient changes, real working signals, real looking and placed catenary and so on, then no, it's something new. So the decsision is easy... you expect perfect Landscapes: buy FarmingSim or FarCry4 ... if you expect realistic cabrides then buy the route

A backdated version? No, i guess not. That needs a complete rebuild of the track layout and as you may know that is noting anyone will do without a gun on the head ^^
