Dresden Rushhour

Description
Take control of the trains around Dresden's busy central station. The track layout is based on the real world station, but not entirely accurate. The same is true for the timetable.

56 trains in 73 minutes. 3410 points for a perfect score, which is achievable without using Brake & Reverse. IC/ICE trains have brake penalties enabled, all other trains are allowed (and often required) to stop at signals.

The map is both large and throws a lot of trains at you. If you are looking for relaxed gameplay, this is not it. If there is interest (let me know in the comments or on discord) I will work on an easier version.

Nice, challenging map - that is true even though I have some hints :-D

I also encountered the same as Kijord - please update the map if it is an error. In the original, the tracks from Friedrichstadt to Hauptbahnhof should be able to be operated at least at 60-80 km/h, maybe setting all main tracks to 80 km/h fixes the problem (also the tracks between Hauptbahnhof and Plauen should be operated faster).

Cosmetically, I could add that RE30 and RE31 should be RB30 and RB31, and also the track numbers in Dresden Hauptbahnhof do not match the original - don't know if this was intended.

just a question. what are you suppose to do with the train icy01 cause if you put it behind re2x01 you get a break penalty but then the other trains will be waiting for a clear path delaying icex02

This is a challenging map, and definitely welcome after near perfect scores on many of the in-built and steam workshop maps. Kudos!

A little bit of documentation in the form of typical routes etc will make the gameplay enjoyable even for the first time around, especially for those who are not familiar with the geography. Otherwise of course discovery can definitely happen in game to be applied to round 2!

Please do make more of such maps - I'd love to play them!

Thank you everyone for the positive feedback.

@kempo95: You are right, that somehow slipped past me. Should be fixed now.

Amazing level.
However there's one mistake that I found that makes it impossible to get full 100%.
S1x01 has a stop at Heidenau that's set one hour too early. This way you can never get the train to arrive on time.

:steamthumbsup: Agreed, this was a fun challenge, enough to keep the player on their toes, while being still being achievable.

Amazing level, thank you so much! This is what I bought this game for.
