The DLC featuring the ČD 163 "Peršing" locomotive brings one of Central Europe's most famous electric locomotives to SimRail. It is designed for players who appreciate classic design, characteristic traction, and the feeling of real railway service.
The locomotive has been designed with an emphasis on atmosphere and realism – a fully functional cab, faithful driving characteristics, and authentic sounds create a powerful impression on every journey. The ČD 163 is ideal for regular passenger service as well as freight trains and is a timeless addition to the SimRail fleet.

==Locomotive in reality==
The 163 series locomotive "Peršing", derived from the 363 series, is based on the need to operate on lines with 3 kV DC voltage. In the early 1980s, the situation in rail transport began to change, with the 140 and 141 series locomotives due to be phased out in 1985 without sufficient replacements. This led to Škoda commissioning a new series of locomotives capable of operating under DC traction. Although a prototype of the 163 series was never built, prototypes of the two-system ES 499.1 locomotives (today's 363 series) were used for development. The 163 series locomotives are therefore part of the so-called second generation of Škoda locomotives.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The production of 163 series locomotives took place in 1984-1986 (factory designation 71E) and later in 1991-1992 (99E) in the Škoda company in Pilsen in cooperation with ČKD Polovodiče. In addition to the newly produced locomotives, several units of the 163 series were built as a result of the change of chassis from the 363 series to the 162 series in 1993-2008. These locomotives are used in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and previously in Italy to haul passenger and freight trains.
At the same time, the 163 series locomotives are still active and successfully serving in their role as universal line locomotives. Some of these locomotives were previously leased to Poland, where they returned to the Czech Republic at the end of 2015.[https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lokomotiva_163 <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>]

[[File:163 cab.jpg|thumb|CD 163 ]]
The development of this locomotive was announced on 12.12.2023 and '''will be available as DLC in the game since 25.01.2026'''. This DLC will contain a total of 11 reskins in the base version, and the price of this DLC has been set at 14€. DLC contains 4 reskins for ČD Cargo and 7 reskins for České dráhy - 4 reskins in the modern "najbrt" paint scheme and 3 old paint schemes. 
These versions do not differ greatly from the "original" ones that operate in the Czech Republic. These locomotives, which run in Poland, only have additional control buttons for the lights in the cab and an additional panel for SHP/Czuwak.

== ARR (Automatic Speed Regulation) - Cruise Control ==
In the 163 series locomotives (known as "Peršing"), the '''ARR (Automatic Speed Regulation)''' system is more complex than in modern Pesa Elf (EN96) units, as it requires interaction with other systems, such as mode selection and current limitation settings.
'''ARR control'''
# Turn on the ARR first. In "manual" mode, you control the proportional thrust with the drive controller, while in ARR mode, the computer takes over the power control to achieve the selected speed.
# Setting the target speed Use the ARR keyboard to select the desired speed. Using the drive controller, it is possible to adjust the desired speed by approximately 2 km/h. The value is shown on the speedometer display.
# Thrust limitation switch: Use the switch to adjust the speed at which proportional thrust is applied. In poor traction conditions (rain, ice), set a lower value to prevent the wheels from slipping.
# Starting: To start in ARR mode, follow this specific procedure:  - After setting the desired speed and moving the direction lever to the "Forward" position, hold the driving mode in the "S" (Start) position until the locomotive reaches 5 km/h.<br>
----5. '''Stopping and braking'''
* '''Not an Autopilot:''' It is important to remember that ARR is '''not''' an autopilot designed for stopping at stations.
Before using the automatic train brake, move the Drive Mode switch to the V (Coast) position.

== Control mode / Driving mode / Relative power ==
R = manual (enter relative traction)<br>
A = automatic (enter desired speed)<br>
ZK = automatic test<br>
<br>
=== Drive mode switch ===
P = parking
<br>
V = coasting - positive proportional thrust blocked
<br>
J = driving
<br>
S = consent - positive proportional thrust enabled 
<br>
The "consent" position must be used for initial start-up (and the switch must be held in this position until a speed of 1.5 km/h is reached). It is also necessary to use this position to unblock positive proportional thrust again after manual intervention in the control using the EDB controller or the continuous train brake controller. 
<br>
=== Relative power ===

1-12 = thrust setting

<br>
== Axcle counter / Relative power ==
Axcle counter selection is used to set the length of the train in the speed controller (cruise control), with one axle corresponding to a length of six meters (and a maximum of 170 axles can be set).
<br>
Relative power controller controls the pulse converters of the traction motors' and excitation traction motors based on the relative power requirement. It also controls the converters of auxiliary drives (traction motor cooling fans, etc.).

6. Use the Override Protection button<br>
7. Set the collector grounding switch to the P+Z position if there is no collector malfunction on the locomotive<br>
8. Turn on the main switch (HV)<br>
9. Raise the pantographs<br>
10. Switch on compressor 2<br>
