New members!

Some of you might already noticed but yes, you've heard right! The BPH got bigger again.
We want to welcome FreddieTheShepherd and Elena to the BPH-Team!
Freddie has already released some of his projects like the Flirt 1 repaints and his Salzburg Rosenheim EP but like we all, he is already working on new, great projects.
For the people playing Train Simulator Classic Elena might ring a bell... she is pretty known in the modding scene there having for example released repaint packs for the K-Trains Vectron and now she is willing to master modding in TSW.
Since doing all the work alone is hard, we invited both to the BPH to make work easier and combine all our knowledge together into our future projects we have planned or that are already under development. But read more below!

The ÖBB 5022 Pack recieves an update

This mod made by Freddie and already being released will recive a big update soon!
Thanks to the help of Foobian the ÖBB 5022 will have randomized advertisments in the train and it also will feature a new snow map.
But that's not everything. The ÖBB 5022 will also host a set of new liveries:
Salzburg Verkehr, CityShuttle, CityShuttle/Zukunft auf Schiene, Cityjet/VOR and Cityjet/OÖVV
The ÖBB 5022 will also come with a new ticket machine (needs the Vorarlberg dlc) in the passenger room more seats to make the seating arrangement like in real life .
The outside also got fitting decals for each livery.

ÖBB Talent 1 Expansion Pack

Also a project kickstarted by Freddie and now also a group project of the BPH is the Expension Pack for the ÖBB 4024. This mod will work with all versions of the ÖBB 4024.
Like the ÖBB Desiro Classic this pack will also host many iconic liveriers that the 4024 drive in.
This pack will also feature the subclasses of the 4024 being the 4023 (for Salzburg Rosenheim) and the 4124 (for the Semmeringbahn)
Other features, that will come with this pack are working CCTV cameras to ease up the platform duties, a working GSM-R, a better EBuLa screen.
The CityJet will also have changed seat textures. Besides that also some misc stuff has been updated like adding the "TALENT" logo to the roof and implementing the enhancements of Redstoneia into this pack. Also some sounds have been replaced.

BR 612 Expansion Pack

The update is done but the GSM-R is still currently causing problems on routes, where the Expert 101 isn't loaded (Dresden Chemnitz being one of them) so we are still figuring out this issue. Nonetheless almost all bugs have been fixed like hearing outside sounds inside your cab etc. and some new sound samples have been added (Outside running sound, new engine samples). But we hope to bring out this long awaited update soon!

German Freight Variety Pack

This pack made by our beloved dragon Mabitze should brighten up your journey accross germany adding new liveries to the Shimmns TTU 722, Falns and the Laaers Autotransportwagen making freight trains much more colorful and the overall experience more realistic, because the repaints will not only include DB branded wagons!

Traxx AC3 Livery Pack

Also a repaint pack made by Mabitze but this time for the BR 187!
Like the repaint pack for the BR 185 this pack will also include many iconic liveries for this locomotive (around +15).
The pack will include both versions of the 187, "flat walled" and "container walled".
Some bugs will be fixed with this pack too! Like the broken headlights...
And like the other packs we will add small details like being able to place down the end of trains boards and more

BR 266 | The EuroShed

You've heard right, we are currently making the BR 266 for TSW! Seeing so many British variations of the class 66 ingame we thought to ourself, why not make the BR 266. And we are doing it. Still work in progress this project is going to change the model of the ECML South Class 66 to make it into a EuroShed. Changes being the headlights, the AC-unit above the cab and most importaintly changes inside the cab, to match it with the German version. The loco is drivable, like some have seen in the screenshots channel already and we are currently figuring out how to add both Sifa and PZB to the locomotive. Besides that some sounds were also changed to make the experience more authentic!

SRM Enhancement Pack

The Salzburg Rosenheim EP is a project of Freddie again. The V1 has been released but he is working the the V1.1 already.
This update will fix/rework some things from version 1.0 but it also will add many new objects and gimmigs for you to discover!
Also thanks to Foobian for making a GSM-R cell tower, which is placed along the route and to M3 redoing the Köf II model.

BR 111 Enhancement Pack

A project mainly made by GERJUSI_Lp aka Justin. This pack not only adds DB liveries like DB Gebrauchtzug and special liveries like "Bahnland Bayern" but you can also drive the BR 111 under different operators like RailAdventure and SmartRail. The liveries also feature redone weathering.
Furthermore this pack will include different cab versions (with and without LZB), 2 buffer variations, Einholm- or Scherenstromabnehmer, different FIS versions and much more.
This pack will only require you to have the Salzburg Rosenheim DLC.

Frankfurt Fulda Expand & Enhancement Pack

Like the 612 this section will be pretty short. We are still working on this pack and things are slowly getting together. This project is currently in a bug test phase but Manny and the others are still working on new aditions, like a completly new announcement system done by Manny!
Furthermore we are also currently testing the subbing probabilites.

DB Vectron Repaint Pack

A completely new project, which just has been started recently and is being made by Elena.
This will be her first real TSW mod and she plans to port over her TSC DB K-Trains Vectron repaint pack and bring it up to Train Sim World standards.
She has already ported over 2 repaints: "Backbone" and "Einziganders" but many more are still planned. (Proper numbering is not setup yet)

A route?

Yes, a route. Perhaps you guess what it is or where?

Big thanks again for reading our roadmap and the huge support we had on the last one!
I hope it was fun reading this roadmap and feedback is always welcome.
Markus, the Author/Community Manager
Until the next roadmap, sometime, can't promise when

Also you might have noticed but the Austrian EMU is missing in this roadmap and sadly I must announce, that this project is canceled.
Someone, who had a big part in this project (sounds and 3d-modeling) decided to leave the BPH and he retracted the usage rights of his work.
This also affects other projects, which are currently withdrawn from trainsimcommunity.
