ECS extension for the DB Set XL v0.82

by Michael Blunck

June 2010

Since the DB Set XL v0.82 doesnīt include support for ECS cargoes, youīll need this ECS extension to make ECS cargoes available for DBXL freight wagons.

Note however, that because DBXL 0.82 doesnīt contain matching cargo graphics, the extension only introduces refittability for those cargoes, but donīt adds proper graphical representations.


Installation

The DBXL ECS extension will only be activated in case the ECS newgrfs are found and in absence of the FIRS newgrf. In addition, the DBXL set has to be loaded prior to the extension.

The extension is only meant to be used with DBXL, itīs of no use in conjunction with other vehicle sets.

Known restrictions

Due to the way the DB Set XL 0.82 handles attachability of wagons or coaches to certain locomotives, some of them are unable to haul coaches refitted to TOUR instead of PASS. Engines in question include: BR18, BR05, VT08, VT11.5, ICE-TD, BR515, BR110, BR112, BR103, BR111, ICE-1, and the ICE-3.
