Looks cool - the deadmans sounds interesting. You should be able to release it in stations though.

I downloaded it about an hour ago, it took me about half an hour to work out how to drive it.

Must say its really really good. The deadman is very realistic too. It feels like as if Im driving a real train.

One question though- Is the acceleration rate of the train really that fast?

Edit: Damon, it is possible to release it at stations- the white brake lamp needs to be on first, this can be done by moving the brake handle further down- the step before emergency.

Yeah it can be released in stations at E4 brake position, and it does accelerate fairly fast which is good :D

Erm..... maybe it's me, but can someone please give me a simplified step by step guide of how to drive it?

(And yes, I have followed the manual, and cannot get the thing to move..... apparently you need U-Bahn selected in '' controller '' and '' instructor '' ?? )

Right click, Options.

Set Instructor to U-Bahn, and the Controller to Ubahn by Keyboard -> Options

All I have in '' Instructor'' is

(Default)
Japanese

And, for Keyboard: '' Key Assignments'', and '' Axis Settings''

For Key Assignments, I have the usual, power: Z, neutral: A, brake: Q etc

.....

Are my BVE settings set up incorrectly then?

For example, Insert holds down the deadman for me, not TAB.

For you, is ' U-Bahn', just selectable from '' Instructor '' ?

Sorry for asking to be spoonfed here, but I don't get any errors, apart from the controls obviously are wrong.

Hm.... I'm off for a re-install.

Just cannot get it to load at all. I noticed that they are all .b3d files. As looked at files in other routes i got and they are all .csv which run perfectly here.

The file should be extracted to the main BVE4 folder only - C:\Program Files\mackoy\BVE4. There is a driving tutorial in the Train folder (you MUST read this as it has different controls to UK trains).

Ensure you change the 'key assignments' and 'instructor' when loading BVE4 to the 'U-Bahn' settings. You can obviously change them back to the British codes when you have finished with the train.

Ensure you have the Bentschen route from the same website installed to your BVE4 folder BEFORE you install this train. When you have installed the train ensure you use the Bentschen route file with the 'neu' suffix. When it loads some instructions will come up on the screen.

I found that at TSC forum. I have downloaded it and tried it so many times still I cannot get the thing to run. I set the instructor and controller to U-Bahn type. Still it don't work, I already download 1 day. Kind of shame I told EmergencyBrake about this and said it take time to learn. Who knows he learned it within a day. 1 day has past.

It works absolutely perfectly if you follow the included tutorial. A rather fantastic piece of work IMHO!!

All you need to do is follw the instructions included in the Train folder - what is there not to understand? :roll:

Upon reading the instructions carefully ( :D ), it now runs perfectly.

I agree with Damon - a great piece of work! :) :)

What exactly are you having trouble with, LondonBVE?

Fantastic Train!

Can be a bit confusing at the start. It took me a good few restarts to get the hang of the start up procedure, Iv now got to learn how to do it quickly because i always end up late at the first station and much later at the end.

Same here.

The quickest I've done it so far is 5mins 30 late!

I wonder if there could be any new LU trains released, with the deadman feature included like the new F92 has?

There is a 73TS in development by two people on this forum which will feature a deadman.

That Horn is a rare idea and perhaps could be made use of on the Mainline trains, when you hold it in it goes for as long as you want, would come in handy :D

I could really do with a printer, because trying to remember that manual is bloody hard, although what ive attempted to drive, everything is nice. I like especially the clock at the bottom, a good idea I think.

You must use the U-Bahn setting, LondonBVE.

You should also change the Instructor setting to U-Bahn.

If you just have '' Default '' and '' Japanese '' in your Instructor settings, then move the '' key assignments '' and '' instructor '' folders, that came with the download, into your main BVE folder.

Hope this helps

Fantastic train, if you read the manual you'll soon be used to it!

Lets see what the TSC guys make of it! ;)

You can manually open doors on the 323 too.

8 is left
0 is right
9 is close

This is on the numerical keypad above your keyboard, so above qwerty! ;)
