    Oh boy, that sounds like a tricky thing to debug. After the signal cleared the LZB target speed increased, right?

    EDIT: Do you remember what service (and timetable) this was?

    Yes, it's the first scenario/journey run in the Expert 101 Kassel-Wurzburg pack. As you say, when the red signal cleared the LZB readout immediately jumped from 000 to a higher speed - I think 100 but at any rate less than 200 - but with AFB on the brakes and throttle lock would not disengage. And I don't mean it went into the 2 km/h start routine, the brakes simply stayed completely on, a full service application.

    Do you mean the scenario "Interference"?

    By the way, please try to keep bug reports for the Feedback thread so that this thread remains as concise as possible (I forgot about that before while answering peoples questions/reports) :)

    6. No RailDriver support for the cab car.
    Status: Submitted to DTG.
    Workaround: None
    Details: At long last! I have submitted RailDriver mappings to DTG for QA/Localization. These include mappings for all variants of the BR 101 Expert as well as the Bpmmbdzf 286.1 cab car.

    95. Shutdown feature can permanently lock the cab or machine room doors if it is initiated when doors are open.
    Status: Submitted to DTG.
    Workaround: N/A.

    97. Coupling two BR 101 Expert in free roam incorrectly requires shutting off the battery to make ZDS work.
    Status: Submitted to DTG.
    Workaround: Work around is as the title describes (first shut off both locomotives and set the ZDS switch in each, then start them up again and after that activate the cab in the "master" locomotive).
    Details: This is not necessary IRL and won't be after the fix is public.

    98. Adhesion is equally low inside tunnels and under roof as on un-occluded track with precipitation.
    Status: Submitted to DTG.
    Workaround: None.
    Details: I have backported an improvement to the adhesion simulated added to the BR 145 Expert, to the BR 101 Expert. When entering tunnels or going under roofs the adhesion should increase as the tracks will be mostly dry (the adhesion still fluctuates realistically even in this case, as with tracks in dry conditions, just with a higher mean value).

    Note: Fix 95 will likely arrive sooner (concurrent with the BR 145 Expert release) compared to the other listed fixes as it was submitted earlier.

    After the update, the PZB/LZB test button no longer function and trigger no test process. Just bought TSW 6 for Expert 145. Test Expert 101 also in TSW 6 and find this issue. I do have the PZB/LZB circuit closed but the test button still doesn't work. In older TSW 5 it's fine.

    By the way, Expert 145 has some accessible MTD subpages that's not implemented in Expert 101. Is there any hope that we can see them and the new coupling features implemented in 101 in the future?

    Just disregard this. I forgot to turn Expert Mode on. My apology.
