Timetable Lehrte - Maschen with BR146

[darkage]

The steam version updated today, and as I opened the timetable, I didn't see the 146.3 anywhere, so I looked up in another topic, and it said that you have to swap the 146.2 with the 146.3.

So, using the steam version, can you swap the locos? If yes, how do you do that?
When swapping, to be as close to the real schedule as possible, do you just swap the 146.2, or do you also swap the 146.1?
edit: another question, I read there was an update to the standalone Zusi 3 version where it might have said that the AFB now interacts with ETCS. Does this mean that you can set it to work like the way LZB/AFB works, or does this mean something else, and how do you get that to work, and is this also in the steam version?

The Metronom trains don't use 146.3. If you want to have real traffic with them swap the locos in the RE-trains at Cologne-Düsseldorf. Here is a little manual for the 2016 timetable:

- Find out where the private directory is: Help -> Info -> Data
- Create the following directory: Zusi3Steam\Timetables\Deutschland\Koeln-Duesseldorf\Koeln-Duesseldorf_2016_00Uhr-08Uhr
- Go to the official directory (Help -> Info -> Official) and copy from Timetables\Deutschland\Koeln-Duesseldorf\Koeln-Duesseldorf_2016_00Uhr-08Uhr the following files to Zusi3Steam\Timetables\Deutschland\Koeln-Duesseldorf\Koeln-Duesseldorf_2016_00Uhr-08Uhr: RE-D10102.trn, RE-D10106.trn, RE-D10109.trn, RE-D10110.trn, RE-D10111.trn, RE-D10113.trn, RE-D10145.trn, RE-D10503.trn, RE-D10504.trn, RE-D10505.trn, RE-D10506.trn, RE-D10507.trn
- Open the files with a text editor like NotePad++ or NoteTab Light
- Go to Search -> Replace
- In search you enter TRAXX_AC1 and in replace TRAXX_AC2
- Repeat the last step with IDHaupt="2 under search and IDHaupt="8 under replace

IMPORTANT: Don't forget to delete all these files and folders from your private directory when the next package (107) is published because this change will probably be official then and Zusi is loading at first from the private directory.

Ah, I understand now, I was wondering if any change would eventually come as an update, and the reason why I was in doubt is because I saw a recent video of someone with the 146.3 in the route with working ETCS. So maybe I'll try this out.

Also thanks for the explanation, I thought about checking a manual, but the original manual being in german, if I tried using google translate it'd butcher everything as it doesn't understand grammar and from what I've seen the manual in english provided by aerosoft doesn't explain much of the timetable editor.

It's much easier to use the timetable-editor in the simulator. Just open the timetable, replace the loco and save it.
