    Hi, I bought the discounted Haupstrecke Rhein-Ruhr route.
    Is snow time scenario bugged? I am trying to start the 425 but brake pipe stays at 0 bar. What am I missing?

    Battery on, pantograph raised by default of the scenario.. Reverser forward as default. Sifa, PZB on. Doors opened, then closed. Master controller set to notch 2, then BC starts to release, BP stays at 0. After couple of meters, train stops.

    Following your procedure, I was able to move the train without any issues. :/

    BP should not be at 0; should read 5N. Did you accidentally move the brake handle to Emergency?

    Check on the panel on the left that the parking brake is not applied, otherwise you should be able to get going.

    Your BP pressure is also 0 what makes me think that it could be a bug? Though at least you could start the train.

    Don't think so, the issue was repeatable.

    I had the feeling that it is either Sifa or PZB that causes the headache. I tried all possibilities.
    - PZB on, Sifa on = failed start.
    - PZB off, Sifa on = failed start
    - PZB on, Sifa off = successful start
    - PZB off, Sifa off = successful start
    So this could be a Sifa bug I guess.

    Stand up (out of the driver‘s seat), activate SIFA, and sit down again. Then try once more. If I recall correctly, there‘s a bug with the 425‘s SIFA not working properly if you remain seated.

    Well if you here a loud beep when your train stops you might have fallen victim to the bug where the Sifa acknowledge does not work - as said by the previous post, stand up and sit down again “to fix it”

    Standing up solved the problem. Thanks.
