Sorry Matt, I appreciate you a lot, for all you have done, for this great train simulator!. But please notice most of the times, you have issues on streaming, about using the trains safety systems. Mainly with PZB on German trains. So I suggest you, to not worry about them, and just show us and enjoy the new trains, and routes. Best regards!
He can play however the way he wants. Playing with pzb is realistic and allows players to know it actually works.
Depends on your playstyle. They're not part of my driving experience. I agree. I don't use PZB myself, but I know several people consider it important it's working correctly, so using PZB in streams allows people to confirm it works at it should prior to making a purchase. Pretty good reason to use PZB in streams, even though I don't use PZB myself.
I use PZB (and get it wrong) all the time. I’d rather it was left on in the streams. Even if It’s triggered because Matt is looking at the chat, it’s useful to learn why it triggered. Also sometimes it highlights a possible bug and there is a discussion in the forums on whether it was correct or not.
The problem with PZB is, apart you must acknowledge it, you have to brake hard to slow your speed faster!. If not do it, you have full brake penalty, and the train goes to a complete stop. Most of the time, you can not do it so quickly! As it happened to Matt on the streaming.
