When running back from Arosa to Chur and getting to a piece of flat track the throttle refuses to come back on to allow you to maintain speed. You end up having to come to almost a stop before it comes on.
Are you aware that it takes several seconds before the engine starts running? At firts nothing seems to happen. You may want to monitor the amperes in the HUD and wait till in start increasing from 16A and then up.
There is a delay before the locomotive starts adding speed. The inclusion of the fourth stage puts the locomotive in motion.
That’s not the issue. The power only comes back on if you are going very slowly or stopped. At normal speed, it doesn’t come back on. It occurs even if you haven’t used the dynamic brake. The throttle is locked out after using the vacuum brake as well. The loco doesn’t have an engine either, its power comes from the overhead power lines and would be instantaneous.
I found what causes the issue. You should make very sure to release the vacuum brake completely. If you push the release button once more if no power is applied, you will see the amps go up. stujoy You are wrong. Odf course the there is an engine and it is not instantaneous, just have a look at the HUD and see the amps increase after a few seconds. There is an electric engine in the loco.
Okay, it’s not going to be instantaneous exactly, but when you start of from stopped it is fairly close to it. It obviously is expecting a braking action whenever the vacuum brake has been used, when in motion. Whether the pause should be that long (and the wait isn’t consistent) before applying power again depends on what’s going on inside the loco’s electrics, or how it has been simulated anyway. But it still doesn’t have an engine. It has traction motors on each axle which drive the wheels and inside the loco will be all the transformers and control electrics etc. that take power from the overhead cables and convert it to supply the right voltage and current to the motors, and the dynamic brake assembly as well.
Probably my lack of detailed knowledge of English language. I did not associate the word motor with proper English, so used engine instead. The differences between US and UK English are not always very helpful.
