Description

The new generation BR 442 ‘Talent 2’ comes to Train Simulator, perfect for you to experience on the Munich – Garmisch-Partenkirchen route.

Built by Bombardier and introduced in 2009, the successor to the ‘Talent’ was put in to service by Deutsche Bahn to replace older EMU types and loco-hauled trains on both S-Bahn and Regio services. A total of 397 units have so far been manufactured, with 325 ordered by Deutsche Bahn.

The four-car EMUs primarily operate on Germany-Austria routes, with 37 units introduced to the Munich – Garmisch-Partenkirchen route in August 2013. Individual cars are coupled and articulated via shared bogies and have a top speed of 160 km/h (100mph).

The BR 442 ‘Talent 2’ for Train Simulator is available in Deutsche Bahn Regio livery with grey and white accents, and features SiFa driver vigilance, AFB, PZB and LZB cab signalling, and passenger view.

UPDATE: 3/22/15 - DTG updated the trainsset and the PZB and SIFA now works as I would expect while driving a German train. I rated this 7.5 out of 10 due to the systems but still recommended this train back I first

I bought this in a sale because I wanted to broaden my horizons from the UK railways. I'm glad I did. The model looks good, the drive is easy and, considering I've never seen the unit in real life, it feels right

THIS LOCOMOTIVE IS INCLUDED IN THE MITTENWALDBAHN Only buy this if you're interested in the scenarios. Awesome EMU. Accelerates fast, ideal for frequent stops. Can achieve 180km/h easily. In-cab indication of doors

This add-on is basically awesome. You can't really fault about this train to be honest. It accelerates and deccelerates very quickly and the cabin view is definitely one of the best where the route map is a nice touch

PZB is broken, entering in 500hz restrictive mode without active 500hz magnet (signal is clear), and entering in 1000hz restrictive mode while in-cab signaling showing normal operation. Braking with 8 car composition
