Very impressive from the outside. The cockpit is a bit fuzzy, so far I haven’t found a better PC setting. The cockpit sound has a loud basic tone, whereby the driving sound does not come into its own. There are practically no braking noises, compressed air per example. In this respect I hope for an update.

Hi Marc, Thanks for your comment. I am not sure why the cab looks ‘fuzzy’ on your system. There should be no difference between outside and cab view when using any setting.. I will do some more testing to see if I can reproduce this problem.

Ich hatte mehr erwartet für diesen Preis ein Wunsch von mir wäre beim nächsten update die ZZA von dem ZVV Kiss auf dem SBB Kiss und umgekehrt das die ZZA von dem SBB Kiss auf dem ZVV Kiss sind.

Hallo rabe514dersbb,
Thank you for your rating and comment. I am sorry the add-on is not quite what you expected. I hope the planned update will make it more to your expectations. Please raise a helpdesk ticket (green support button) to explain your issue with the ZZA so I can take a look at that.
Kindest regards,
Paul Mersel

Das Add-On ist ganz okay. Der Sound ist eine ganze Katastrophe. Das Modell ist ganz gut nur der Führerstand sieht ein bisschen verwaschen aus. Die Innenansicht könnte besser gestaltet sein. Der V-Soll reagiert manchmal nicht, erst nachdem ich mit ein paar km/h’s die Geschwindigkeit überschritten habe. (Selber Fehler bei der Re 460 und IC2000) Der Zug fährt direkt los nachdem ich “Gas” gebe und hat keine “Wartezeit Anfahtssequenz” wie beim echten Zug. Eine Doppeltraktion wäre in der Auswahl im Quick-Drive auch ganz nett.

Hi Danny,
Thanks for your review. Please note that in V1.1, many of the mentioned issues have been fixed. Hope this version is more to your satisfaction.
Kind regards,
Paul Mersel

Maybe you could change the Sound in the next update aswell. Because that sounds nothing like the real one, i mean compare your sound with one in a YouTube Video. And maybe you could change the windows of the doors to because they are also the rectangular and in the IC2000 aswell. But the Train is really good ^^ (Except for the few little things.

the addon is cool. There is a mistake (in V 1.1) to change quickly is the v-soll that does not work well.
Paul Mersel (verified owner) –
Hi, the V-soll has been completely overhauled in version 1.2. This should make it more stable.

Hi Paul
I bought this add-on a while back knowing that it didn’t have PZB but got the impression that it would be added and the whole vehicle would be improved. Unfortunately it looks like not much is happening at the moment 🙁
You might know that DB recently purchased a lot of used KISS units from Westbahn. This means that you have a potential new audience for your add-on if you tweaked it, improved the textures and added PZB and LZB as yours is the only KISS on the market for rail works. It would be a shame to miss this opportunity to get new customers but of course to give the older customers their money’s worth. The add-on is a bit outdated, which is a shame because I actually like it a lot.

Hi James,
An update for the RABe511 is under construction right now. The Westbahn and DB versions are however quite different and may be developed as a separate product. So I expect an update for the SBB version within the next couple of weeks (June2020). The Westbahn and DB versions will take more time and might be coming end of 2020.
Kind regards,
Paul
