    Quick question I hope...

    I'm trying out this route and trying to use the safety systems so I can get platinum... I turn on the safety fuse, I get alerts and respond, have even had one automatic brake stop... But I'm only getting the 35 point increments and the summary tells me I'm not using safety systems.

    Anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong? :)

    What are you driving cab car or loco. Have turned on acses and ATC and the alerter.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm driving the locos at the moment, and neither seems to be using safety systems. I have used the keyboard shortcut to turn on safety systems which is ctrl+Enter (I think). It comes up with text suggesting at least some safety systems are enabled. Are there more things I should be turning on?

    Press ctrl + enter for acses and atc and shift+enter for the alerter. But if you are driving the F40PH and it tells you to turn TMS on you cant. Its a bug and will not score you correctly.

    Thank you. So that's the same keyboard presses as for UK trains.

    And so you are also saying that on the F40PH it's not possible to be scored correctly? Or does the TMS thing only occur randomly? Whatever, I appreciate your help.

    I'm not sure if it was the Worcester or Boston sprinter version of the F40PH that was bugged. If you player with driver assistance on it will say tms needs be switch hence you can't and therfore dont correct scoring. The key binding for safety systems is almost the same for all trains and countries.

    Have driven both locos on the Worcester version and it all works and scores correctly. Thanks for your help.
