Urban railway of Berlin
Enjoy the typical flair of Germany's capital by driving an S-Bahn train all the
way from the Ostbahnhof via Alexanderplatz, Bahnhof Zoo and Charlottenburg right
to Potsdam. Control the BR 481/482 and BR477 trains along the so-called "Stadtbahnstrecke"
(urban city line) and watch all the original detailed buildings and stations of
Berlin City roll by. Created by a real "Berliner", this add-on for Microsoft Train Simulator
surprises with an extremely highly detailed route right through the heart of
Berlin. Not only have all the stations been recreated to the original, even the
railway depots and relevant institutions as well as nearly each and every
building close to the line are there to be seen like in reality. Anyone who has
ever taken a ride on the real Berlin S-Bahn will surely recognize every
building. The route starts at the Ostbahnhof and leads via the stations
Alexanderplatz, Friedrichstraße, Tiergarten, Bahnhof Zoo, Charlottenburg,
Wetskreuz, and Wannsee to Potsdam. Watch the "Gedächtniskirche" or the famous TV
tower pass by. Even though the amount of objects and details is enormous, the
developer has successfully taken care to ensure a smooth and fluid display when
driving the trains along the route. On a route length of approx. 100 km it has for the first time been
accomplished to combine a route with both a live rail for the S-Bahn as well as
the common overhead contact wire for the usual trains in a single add-on. This
allows simulating train service by the DB (Federal Railways) as well as the S-Bahn
service. Included as rolling stock are two S-Bahn trains, the BR477 and 481/482 as
well as a regional train, the BR143. Numerous new activities introduce the train
driver to a normal working day on the Berlin S-Bahn and on a regional train,
guaranteeing hours of fun with this add-on for Microsoft Train Simulator. A printed english manual with lots of information around the S-Bahn and the
route make this a perfect add-on for the virtual train driver. . |
