    I am trying to release the brake on the BR430 on S1 Frankfurt S Bahn but the gauges are only showing 2.2 on hud and 0 on the panel gauge. How am I supposed to get this to work? There is no release switch, charge, or reset. I shut the units down and restarted but it makes no difference.

    Have you played the tutorial. Did the train have an emergency stop?

    The tutorials do not help when the issue is not in driving. They only show how to walk around, open the doors, start moving, etc, they don't show how to recover a brake lock. The train is set in emergency stop to try and clear in the video as it has no air pressure in the train brake pipe but resetting this does nothing.

    Edit: The link has gone from the original message, the YT watch key is "ft4lNvanb2o"

    I just encountered this issue today. Once you go accidentally past the 100% on the brake into SB setting (I believe Schnellbremsung??) I haven't found a way to get the train moving again :(

    Edit: I found the solution with the help of chatgpt: Press Sifa acknowledge.
    I did it while brake lever was still in SB setting, then once I went into 100% and less, the traction lock went away \o/
