Description

With Mannheim - Kaiserslautern came a new rendition of the BR 406 for Train Sim World with various upgrades over the previous version seen back in 2020 on Köln - Aachen. As part of the updates, the 406 was fitted with more recent PIS tech to allow it to display destinations dynamically based on the timetable and route it's used on instead of the fixed system used previously. Unfortunately this has also lead to a downgrade in overall visuals as the new PIS setup has been redone from scratch using a different font which is significantly less accurate.

This mod makes numerous improvements to the PIS of the BR 406 from Mannheim - Kaiserslautern to improve the overall visuals of the system on this train, using the BR411 PIS from Frankfurt - Fulda as a base. Changes made include replacing the font on all screens with a far superior looking one, adjusting the layout of the PIS to be more realistic and increasing the brightness of the interior and exterior screens to make them more visible during the day as per reality.

As a bonus, this mod also increases the sensitivity of the Brake Lever in the cab to bring it in line with other TSW trains and making the brakes faster to control when using a keyboard.

This mod is fully compatible with Profile picture of Myron Myron's Cab Camera Height patch. This mod is currently not fully compatible with Profile picture of Foobian Foobian and Profile picture of Swing Swong Swing Swong's ICE 3 MF mod due to conflicting files.

A comprehensive list of changes can be found below:

  • Replaces the PIS screen font for a more visually pleasing one
  • Adjusts the layout to match the new font
  • Increases the scrolling speed of the Calling at list
  • Increases the brightness of all PIS screems
  • Adds a very slight blue hue to the PIS colour to match real life
  • Increases the sensitivity of the Train Brake lever
