    Has anyone had a problem with getting stuck on the Sweaty Palms scenario?
    I get to Traunstein without problems, except the busted oil pump of course, and the scenario gets stuck on the Unlick Doors instruction and never moves on. I can’t find any talk of this on the forums, so I ask the question before I raise the bug.
    There are quite a few bugs in this release so I’d like to raise them all together.
    Any input much appreciated.

    It might be due to the batteries running out of charge on the coaches. See this thread: Br101 Expert: For Those With Door Issues. | Dovetail Games Forums

    While I know how old this thread is, how did you solve it? OR better yet, how do you prevent it?

    Please and thank you

    [EDIT] Found with w/ Google search: sweaty palms scenario tsw4

    what AI thinks I should do after I get stuck at that station.

    How to Fix the Traunstein Door Lock Bug
    To get the train moving again, you must reboot the train's power grid and jumpstart the coaches:
    1. Check the MFA Panel: Look for the "ZS aus" (Train Supply Off) indicator light on your console. If it is illuminated, your coaches have no power.
    2. Re-engage the ETS: Locate the Electric Train Supply rotary switch next to the reverser handle.
    3. Hold the Switch: Move and hold the switch in the "Start" position. Do not just tap it. Hold it down firmly until the "ZS aus" indicator light completely extinguishes.
    4. Cycle the Doors: Once the power grid is restored to the passenger cars, try toggling the door release switches again. The scenario should instantly register the action and unlock the objective.

    If You Still Can't Draw Power
    If the train brakes are locked up after the station stop, you may have an AFB hold brake conflict or an electronic brake lock:
    • Disable AFB: Turn off the AFB speed control completely to perform a manual hill-start.
    • Cycle the Reverser: Move your reverser to "0" (Neutral) and then back to "Forward" to clear hidden safety locks.
    • Switch Brake Modes: If the pneumatic system is completely seized, locate the brake switch behind the driver's seat and flip it from "el" (electric) to "pn" (pneumatic) to manually force a brake release.
    ^^

    Is that correct? Please and thank you

    [EDIT #2] Happy to say it is. :)
