I did see something on the Roadmap about changes to make the brakes more realistic so perhaps this has been implemented. It’s like learning to drive again!
This is exactly how it's supposed to be (the brakes were too sharp before). It's a bit of a shock at first and a few overshoots certainly occurred for me
I'm very pleased with the improvements. It's much better. Brake 1 used to feel like brake 2/3 so when I was approaching platforms my passengers got flung about and my head kept banging on the windscreen.
The brakes are back to what they used to be now thankfully. Step 3 before the fix, the front of the train was trying to flip over lol.
