thanks a ton, downloaded that pdf, looks super useful ... anyway, what would happen if you happened to stop there - IRL vs in-game
ok, so I ran the service a couple times, with the help of save game as well... so I approach Stuttgart, go into 30 kph... then I cross a magnet, 500 Hz, so I slow down to 20, just in case... and I even tried PZB Override... and I still get penalty brake as soon as I am crossing between the two locos that stay on different tracks... am I doing sth wrong or is it a bug? edit: I tried holding PZB Override as I was going over the magnet as I was passing in front of the 218 stationed nearby... still got penalty brake... what the hell am I supposed to do? no signage, no signal... just 500 Hz magnet and then out of nowhere penalty brake upon next magnet... like... am I supposed to stop before the next magnet and then proceed?
I have tried even 10 kph over the next magnet, and I still get penalty brake... like... I get the 500 Hz, I slow down to 20, and over the next magnet, I get penalty brake edit: tried multiple times... slow speed... I even tried halting completely before the next magnet and then proceeding super slow... still got penalty brake... edit no.2: definitely a bug... I even tried stopping before the magnet, and then got to crawl at 5 kph... still got stopped so, I sent a ticket... damn, not even removing the train on the other track helped... nothing... will try playing a different service, see if I get the same treatment
sorry for multiple posts, but I post feedback as I go ... so, did a different service, this time I managed to get to Stuttgart Hbf without issue... like, I got that 500 Hz, thats ok, and then my service changed track to the left of those parked 218s (in the bugged service I went to the right, towards the bugged magnet), and proceeded at 20 kph towards my platform, and flawlessly stopped at the buffer anyway, just OCD-ing over stuff, there is a loco symbol on the right screen, is there supposed to be the lightning or not? cos in some videos I saw it just white/blank, and in some there was the red lightning... I know it is the train line power, but I wonder which is the correct state to show (and if it matters in-game):
My guess is that either you messed up with save game (which still breaks scripts on most locos, not sure why people keep trying to use it), or you messed up with illegal release from monitoring
RB 19963 - Heilbronn Hbf to Stuttgart Hbf... this one, no matter what I did, I got penalty at the magnet after the 500 Hz one... tried a different service and that one sent me to another platform, but I didnt get penalty on the second magnet
nope... I tried the service like 3x like restarted it, still got the penalty as for illegal release, also no - I had a PZB monitoring and I didnt mess with it, it released on its own, then I got the 500 Hz magnet, and even though I was going 20 kph for the second magnet, I still got penalty brake (released on its own also on the other service I tried, but didnt get penalty on the second magnet after the 500 Hz) I will try one more run on that specific service, just for the peace of mind
just to confirm, ran the service again, got the penalty again... going 20 kph under 500 Hz restrictive... so this one is definitely bugged
Yes, I can confirm there is something weird in the PZB behaviour when entering Stuttgart hbf platform 4. When I drove RB 19963, I've firstly got 500 hz magnet which did not cause emergency stop, but it started to count speed from 65 kph. Few meters after this I was zwamgsbremsed (my speed at that moment was 20 kph). Then I've tried to go from Stuttgart depot to the platform 4 and I've just got 500 hz magnet (without ZB), and was not stopped until I stop in the station. It is all just weird.
