Profile of Zusi lines

#1 Beitrag von dany44360 »

Hi,
How can we do to know the grade of the Zusi lines ?
Knowledge of ascending or descendig grade of the track is esssential for train drivers.
Are they signals along the track indicating grade ?
For exemple, at the train E871 (Bielefeld Hbf - Frankfurt), the BR141 seems to find it very difficult to tow its only four coaches at the beginning of course and if they push notchs the circuit breaker starts.
And farther on the line, speed increases while the train is coasting and it's necessary to brake because BR141 hasn't rheostatic brake system.

In Germany, lines with more than 1% slope are marked with sawtooth lines in the schedule sheet. Lines with more than 2% slope have two sawtooth lines.

Just as additional info: There is no marking if it's an ascending or descending grade. You will know it after you have driven the 1st train over the line. Normally the train driver gets the info about grades on his instruction tours, its part of the necessary knowledge of the line ("Streckenkenntnis") to drive on a line independently.

Don't have the UIC railway dictionary or online access to RailLexic available at home, so I did free translation.

First all hello , still getting to grasps with Zusi 3 new to the full program.
But I am from the UK but living & working in Germany.

Just looked up a what thy terms they use as an equivalent to the German words.
Its would be called (learning new routes/route) depending on be it older or newer drivers.

I really hope more English speakers get Zusi 3 , this is really an realistic Train simulation.
Lots of depth & lots of options.
