    Hi,

    It seems the AFB is broken on the new BR 185.2 in the Ruhr to Finnentrop route. I can toggle it on or off, but when I toggle it on, the train seems to just keep it's speed rather than accelerate to the speed set with the AFB handle. I couldn't really tell if the train is trying to keep it's current speed, or just rolling along.

    When stationary and turning on the AFB, the train doesn't move at all.

    I heard from another user that they had the same problem.

    Do you see the blue indicator on the HUD?

    When stationary:
    Tractive effort to 0
    AFB to 0
    Enable AFB (R)
    Set AFB speed (Ctrl+R)
    Set tractive effort

    Same procedure when moving, except you have to set AFB to max at step 2.

    Never had problems with it apart from yellow dot disappearing after using external cameras.

    Not only the yellow dot is disappearing also the red numbers of the selected AFB speed under the speedometer are disappearing.

    There is a bug in the 185.2 when changing from internal cab camera to external and back the AFB information on the MFD will disappear :S AFB is still active however and controllable in my experiences.

    Thanks, I got the AFB working now thanks to your help.

    I do sometimes accidentally switch off the AFB by pressing shift-R ... Which is not mapped so the game then registers it as just R, toggling the AFB.

    And indeed, the yellow dot does disappear for me too, and so does the AFB speed set in the speedometer.
