Description:

READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE USE . This mod is an improved version of the classic mod USSR & CIS Railroad. It adds new railway tracks, switches and catenary from the soviet and the post-Soviet period.

IMPORTANT INFO:
  • This mod is an improved version of the original addon, so it is not recommended to use both mods at the same time. Your build menu will be cluttered with unnecessary tracks. This mod – contains all the content of the original, only significantly improved.
  • The automatic placement of switches was removed from the tracks from our mod, due to a bug, as a result of which, when making double branching, the switch appeared inside the rail. The mod includes assets of manual and automatic switches of the USSR and Russian Railways. If desired, they can be placed on the tracks.
  • The mod is designed for a normal game, where you gradually open and lose this or that equipment and infrastructure. If you are playing with a mod that makes everything available in 1850 – there will be a very large selection in the path menu. For convenience, in the name of each path, we indicated to which period its catenary belong.
  • To make the new rails and tracks usable at train stations, use the Common API2 mod from transportfever.net. Google and YouTube will help you with that.

Features of the pack:
  • The mod uses the catenary from the original modification USSR & CIS Railroad. Includes 9 variations of the catenary, divided by periods and AC & DC type of electricity.
  • The catenary is divided into periods: 1850-1909, 1910-1934, 1935-1955, 1955-1973, 1974-2003, 2004-2020, 2020-0.
  • The new tracks use the new CIS model and textures for rails and sleepers. Joints have been added between the segments of the path, for greater realism. Also added new buffers.
  • There is no automatic placement of switches on the tracks. They can be placed manually: switch assets can be found in the VKMC category. Added Soviet manual and Russian automatic switches.
  • The mod adds several types of tracks at once: with wooden and concrete sleepers, with and without an embankment. In addition, since 1974, the updated model and textures of the rails with wooden sleepers and new joints from TGR have been used.
  • At your request, the routes have several options with different speed limits: from 20 to 300 km/h. With their help, for example, you can make the train slow down at crossings or stations.
