Expert DB BR 101 - More Substitutions/Timetable Services

This mod will increase the chance the Expert DB BR 101 (in all three variants - Normal, MFD, IC) is eligible for substitution into timetable services. It won't substitute into all services and routes since there are more factors which substitution depends on and I can't influence, but it provides a wide variety of new services for the locomotive.

This mod will substitute the Expert 101 (can be with all three variants) on timetable services for the standard BR 101. You will need the standard 101 loco addon and Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr (HRR/NRM), to be able to get the Avmmz 106.1 and Bpmmz 284.4 coaches for these services and the IC services in general. The mod currently does not support the substitution of the IC coaches of the Expert 101 loco addon for the the ones of the standard. So in short: This mod requires Standard 101 Loco addon to work for the IC services. For freight and RB/RE services these DLCs are not needed.

A short overview of what this mod is doing.

Without this mod (by default), the Expert 101 has these timetable services and substitutions:

1. Bahnstrecke Bremen-Oldenburg (BRO) - Expert timetable and substitutions in IC and few freight services in normal timetable).
2. Dresden-Chemnitz / Tharandter Rampe (DCZ) - Substitutions into freight services
3. Nahverkehr Dresden-Riesa (DRA) - Expert timetable only - IC services
4. Frankfurt-Fulda / Kinzigtalbahn (FTF) - Expert timetable only – IC services and 1 EC service
5. Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel-Würzburg (KWG) - Substitutions in IC and NJ services
6. Bahnstrecke Salzburg-Rosenheim (SRM) - Expert timetable only – IC and EC services

With this mod, the Expert 101 will get these timetables services/substitutions:

7. Bahnstrecke Hamburg-Lübeck (HBK) - freight, RE and RB services
8. Hauptstrecke München-Augsburg (HMA) - freight, RE and RB services
9. Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr (HRR) - freight and RE services
10. Main-Spessart-Bahn (MSB) - freight and regional services
11. Rhein-Ruhr Osten (RRO) - freight and RE services
12. Ruhr-Sieg Nord (RSN) - freight services
13. Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen (SKA) - freight and RE services
14. S-Bahn Vorarlberg (VRB) - freight services

(probably even more like Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn and upcoming routes, this mod is not bound to DLCs)

Additionally, on the routes 1. to 6. the Expert 101 will substitute into the normal (not Expert) timetable and get following services:

15. Bahnstrecke Bremen-Oldenburg (BRO) - more freight services
16. Nahverkehr Dresden-Riesa (DRA) - IC services
17. Frankfurt-Fulda / Kinzigtalbahn (FTF) - freight, RE and RB services
18. Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel-Würzburg (KWG) - a lot more freight services
19. Bahnstrecke Salzburg-Rosenheim (SRM) - freight services

This mod won't make the Expert 101 sub into services on Linke Rheinstrecke (LFR), Rapid Transit (RPT) and Semmeringbahn (SBN).

I plan to add more formations in the future here to make it sub A. on more routes and B. with the IC coaches of the Expert 101 and the cab car. But for now it's only this.

This mod also should work with TSW4 as it is using a .dlc not a .ugc file.

IMPORTANT: There is an issue with controlling doors of the Dostos for RE and RB services
The door control mechansim of the BR 101 Expert hasn't been designed for the Dostos. I noticed a few issues with controlling the Dosto doors. Here is some adivce to use it.

1. When open/closing doors via the keyboard keys (Y/U), control mechanism seems to mess things up. Don't use the keyboard keys for opening/closing doors.
2. Use the door control switch on the left side of the desk in the cab of the BR 101 to open/close doors instead.
   A bug to mention: Setting the switch to "Release All Right doors" actually opens all doors on the left side and vice versa setting the switch to "Release All Left doors" opens all on the right side.
   So following that logic, you need to set the switch to release doors on the opposite site you want to open.
   "Release All Doors" and "Unlock All" seems to work properly. Reminder don't use the keys to mess up the mechanism.
3. Another important thing: The reverser need to be set and needs to be in "Neutral", "Forward" or "Backward" position to be able to open the doors. If it is in "Off" position it won't let you open doors.
