    Hi. I always strive for the most realistic driving and almost do not use HUD. But when driving a DB 185.* train, as on all German trains, it is impossible to determine wheel slippage due to the missing indicator in the cab. Is there really no such indicator in the original?

    Look at the left screen, the Amps go up an down really fast when slipping

    If I go up and the traction is used a little more than necessary, then the wheels will slip barely noticeably, which will not be displayed on the power scale

    In which case you're driving prototypically. Slight slippage actually increases traction, so long as the wheels don't break free (indicated by wild current fluctuations)
