This loco came with the Mannheim Karlsruhe pack and for me this loc is a total lost money item, I read in the comments the problems with it where fixed, but not in my version, the loc does not go more fast then 50kmh, and the scenarios that came with it want you to drive more quick, purchased yesterday 3 /5/2016, so where are the updates.

As a casual sim-gamer, I must say I found this one a blast to ride. It may not be driving like the real deal, but I dont know, im no pro (and lets be honest, which game does handle like the real deal? It can come close, but is still just computercode).
I found this one, one of my most good looking loc's, with a nice attention to details here and there. For me it was worth the money, but ofcourse, that all depends on what you expect and/or you are looking for.

After taking the BR 261 for a spin, I can say that this loco really is nicely done. Also, this loco is fully modelled in 3D, meaning that I can lean out of the cab with my Track IR and see the whole exterior, unlike with previous DTG offerings (e.g., the BR 294 in direct comparison), which didn't show all the polygons unless you were in the "lean out view" (keyboard #2 key). This makes the BR 261 a lot more immersive.
Nice little touches, such as sun visors that are toggable, as well as sun blinds for all the windows can be pulled down/up. The 3D interior allows to open the side windows, and with opened windows the outside noise gets louder.
From a driving perspective, I feel the only thing that DTG should have modeled is the low speed gearing for heavy trains that is geared to only go to 50 km/h. The only gearing that is currently modeled is the one that tops out at 100 km/h.
PZP, SIFA, and AFB are nicely modelded and work well.
In short, superb 3D modelling by DTG. Recently, they really have upped their game. This is a gorgeous loco - inside and out. This bodes really well for the upcoming TS 2016.

I have hundreds of pounds of DLC from DTG. This came as part of the Mannheim collection. This loco is terrible when it comes to bugs. You can't get over 50kph via the HUD and have to mess around with keys to go faster and the amps tend to come and go when they please. This is the first DLC that I have got from DTG that I would say not to bother with unless you get it as a part of the pack. I had to keep the A button pressed down permanently otherwise power would drop off. This is one to avoid. I read the manual to see if it was me driving it badly/wrongly, but there was no information in there to help. I can use the PZB comfortably and the notches of the class 86 and 87, so it is not as if I can't use the more complicated locos.

The loco has many bugs despite update. The manual doesn't explain loco operation properly and it's undriveable with hud, you must use mouse.
Can be enjoyed, but be prepared for many annoyances.
Crucial elements not in manual: you must switch the gear raio on the middle panel to drive faster than 50 kph. To decrease throttle gradually, you must use mouse. For braking, use mouse.... :(
For shunting it's very gimmicky.

In one word, disappointing. Terrible sound, flaky handling and imo this loco has bugs. You do not really know what you're doing because the instruments do not give you any clue and all those nice screens have no function. On top of this, the manual is very basic and gives no solutions to possible errors or problems. Refund requested.

I bought the Gravita when it was 50% off as I wanted another German shunting loco.
Pros:
+Visuals are superb, in and out of the cab
+Unique controls make it fun to drive
+Bugs have been fixed (to my knowledge)
+Extra features well implemented
+Scenarios are interesting and challenging
-Taxes performance so low end machines will struggle
-Fancy displays in cab have no function... a little disappointing
Overall, well worth a buy and a bargain I caught in the sales.

I don't understand who called this DLC "Stunningly State-of-The-Art".
I agree that some features are nice but basic functionality is out of the expectation.
First of all you won't be able to switch between a slow and fast gear. It's locked in a position slow, however your loco will go much faster than 50 km/h.
In the package there are 2 types of freight wagons: Rnoos 64 Freight Car and Zacns95 Tank Freight Car. What is funny, if you pull tankers you won't be able to go faster that 11 km/h. What is interesting it doesn't concern Rnoos 64.
So if opening windows and moveable blinds are for you more important than physics, you can buy it (of course not for a full price), otherwise skip this DLC. I regret now, that spent my money for it.

With the update pretty much all of the issues reported in previous reviews have been fixed (physics issues with the tank wagon; switching between slow / fast gear is now added; unrealistic AFB is gone; more Headlight options available now...) The model, textures and little bonus features in the cab have been great from the start, unfortunately the loco itself was disappointing in version 1.0. But now after the update I really enjoy driving it. I would recommend using the mouse rather than the keyboard to operate the levers, because they are quite delicate and take some getting used to, but finally now I feel like taking the time to get used to the unusual controls is actually worth it.
Before the update came out I would not have recommended the Gravita, but now I do.

with the route combined the career scenario's give a horrible framerate on even a high end system. The physics of the loco are all off,pulling the quickdrive consist of 15 tankers is nearly impossible,the gradual braking and traction are hard to use with pad or keyboard and only work a bit better using them in cab.
The traction does not work as it should which leads to undrivable situations,the loco brake lever moves the opposite way,braking is releasing and releasing is braking etc etc,a shunter to pass
PS I hope you can read this cause i've seen negative reviews disappear on here
