    Thanks for implementing the shutdown button :love:

    I've run into troubles with cold start, where aux compressor fills the reservoir only to 7.15, raising panto takes it below 7 and HS refuses to close. If I drain it and start anew, the panto drops and the cycle repeats. I didn't come up with any solution, just spawning a new loco worked, where the pressure didn't go below 7.2 after panto raise. I assume there is some variable with too broad randomness which can lead to such deadlock. Ran into this problem when starting the MFA loco from cab 2, if it's relevant.

    Also, MFA cab 2 cooling fan switch does not animate.

    Thanks for the new additions to the 101 Expert!
    But when will this bug be fixed, that you cannot move the cursor left or right when changing views? Don't know how it is on other platforms but it's on Xbox

    Dont know if this was already mentioned but there is a little sound bug on the Expert 101. When sitting in Cab and opening the windows, the sound behaves accordingly (sound get louder, ambient noise is also noticeable) but if you switch to outside view and going back into cab view the sound goes back to "closed window sound". It resets if you close and reopen the windows.

    Thanks to the new update of the DB BR 101 Expert we can do cold starts via the right screen, however once the locomotive is cold and I start it I am unable to close the circuit breaker because I do not have 7 bars, I do not know how to run an air compressor when I am only on battery. Does anyone have the complete manipulation to do? Thank you

    Yes. The detailed instructions to do that will be included in the next version of the Expert 101 manual, but Raph posted a quick guide here that you can use until the manual is updated.

    I answered your cold start question here: Br101 Expert: Cold Start Considerations. | Dovetail Games Forums

    I will look into the cooling fan switch, I thought I fixed that already!

    No changes has been made to the Frankfurt-Fulda Expert timetable since it was released back in October (or whenever it was). Unfortunately we duplicated it too early and there were a lot of changes to the original timetable since then. Fixing these issues now is not really feasible so the plan is to delete the Expert timetable and redo the copy, but starting from the updated timetable. When this will happen I can't answer but I would not expect any changes until Autumn. Apologies for the inconvenience! We learned our lesson :)

    Not a big problem since I learned that I can disable the 363 layers as a workaround to make the current timetable work until you can update or remake it with the fixes.
    Just wanted to make sure you had this under your radar.
