This package contains a number of changes and fixes to the substitution of German trains (for now mostly locos). The mods are completely modular, just download what you want and need. Some of the mods disable substitution for the respective loco completely, some just disable a Geographic Region and some have tweaks for the Commonness Weighting (how likely is the loco to appear).

For now this package contains the following mods, if you have any wishes, hit me up (on Discord), it's planned to expand this package in the future.

  • BR 110 [BRO]
    • Substitution Disabled
  • BR 110 [LFR]
    • Substitution Disabled
  • BR 112 [HBK]
    • Substitution Disabled: This doesn't work for custom liveries, they will still substitute.
  • BR 143 [RSN]
    • Substitution Disabled
  • BR 143 [DRA]
    • Substitution Disabled: This doesn't work for custom liveries, they will still substitute.
  • BR 143 [DCZ]
    • Substitution Disabled
  • BR 1442 [RT]
    • Substitution Disabled
  • BR 146 [MSB]
    • Substitution Disabled
  • BR 155
    • Substitution Low: Decreases the Commonness Weighting from 1.0 to 0.1 so the loco appears 10 times less. The current value of 1.0 seems to not be intentional as it's higher than for every other German loco.
  • BR 182 MRCE [HBK]
    • Substitution Moderate: Increases the Commonness Weighting from 0.1 to 0.5 so the loco appears 5 times more often.
  • BR 182 [RT]
    • DB Regio Disabled: Stops the RT BR 182 from substituting into passenger trains.
    • DB Regio Disabled + Substitution Moderate: Same as above + Increase Commonness Weighting from 0.1 to 0.5 for freight trains.
    • Substitution Disabled
    • Substitution Moderate: Changes Commonness Weighting from 0.1 to 0.5 so the loco appears 5 times more often.
  • BR 185.2 [KWG]
    • Substitution Fixes: Removes double header and banking substitution as the KWG 185 doesn't work with the MSB 185. Also increases the Commonness Weighting from 0.1 to 0.5 so the loco appears 5 times more often.
  • BR 185 Railpool [DCZ]
    • Substitution Moderate: Increases the Commonness Weighting from 0.1 to 0.25 so the loco appears 2.5 times more often.
  • BR 204
    • Substitution Disabled
  • HBK: BR 112 Formations
    • Substituted 5x: Increases the Substitution Probability from 0.1 to 0.5 so a different loco should appear 5 times more often in the BR 112 consists on Hamburg - Lübeck.
    • Substituted 10x: Increases the Substitution Probability from 0.1 to 1.0 so a different loco should appear 10 times more often in the BR 112 consists on Hamburg - Lübeck.
  • KWG AI Stock
    • Substitution Disabled: This disables the KWG AI stock (BR 146, Dostos and BR 442) from substitution and removes them from the menus.

Disclaimer

The TSW 4 versions of the mod use the "AssetRegistry workaround", a method actively discouraged by DTG. Nevertheless, it currently represents the sole viable approach to ensure the mod functions properly. Please be aware that the mod may cease to function if DTG makes alterations to the add-ons manager or modding procedures. Additionally, there could be unforeseen side effects that escaped notice during testing.

Excellent Mods!

I've used them all and they work as intended.

Great Job Task Plays

Can you please update for UE 4.26

Avatar of EiHowa
EiHowa 25 Sept 2021

It is already very helpful but as I like the 143 infront of Cargotrains, is it possible to create a 143 passenger Substitution disabled and a Version, where the 112 can Substitute on Dresden-Riesa RE15 and RE18 services, as they are used there

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 25 Sept 2021

It isn't easily possible to let the 112 only substitute onto the RE 15 / 18 services. Maybe I will try a more complicated solution for that sometime later though. What I planned is to do a mod that only disables the 112 for freight services.

Do you plan to remove the 112 for cargo services?

TaskPlays 15 Sept 2022

As it turned out my 143 Cargo remover didn’t work properly I don’t have that mod planned anymore, no.

Thank you very much for those nice little mods. Do you think you can make a mod that swaps all the DCZ cab cars with the DRA cab cars, because the DCZ one is pretty broken at the moment...

Question: I'm a little unclear on the titling of the files. Does for example "BR 143 (RSN) Substitution Disabled" mean that the BR 143 from RSN will no longer substitute anywhere, or that on the RSN route there will no longer be BR 143 substitutions?

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 17 May 2022

Your first assumption is correct, the BR 143 from RSN won't substitute anywhere.

Avatar of Myron
Myron 28 Jul 2023

does that mean though that the 143 from another route (just gonna assume there is one right now) will then take its place?

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 28 Jul 2023

Yes that should be the case.

Hey, is it possible to make such a substitution yourself? would you like to drive the tgv in timetable mode in cologne?

Avatar of Myron
Myron 1 Nov 2023

Hey, can I request a few substitution mod files?
DB 182 (RT) Regio substitutions on other routes where it doesn't (HBK is the only route where it drives Regio services) OR when the Dispolok 182 (KWG) enhancement pack is available for TSW4, make that one in DB livery (that livery is from the EP mod) sub into regio services, due to the Dispolok 182 having better sounds since October 31st update

ICE 3 (MAG) disabled and replaced with ICE 3 from KWG on MAG's timetable
idk just some additional ideas

The TSW 4 version of "TP-110-BRO-Substitution-Disabled" is breaking the loco in that it is no longer selectable in the timetable. Scenarios, journeys, free roam and AI are working without issues, though.
None of the other mods appear to be causing any similar issues.

Do you have Hannah’s TRI / National Express Mod for the 110 installed? It looks like those two are incompatible although both mods don’t have any indication why that would happen.
