    Not knowing what platform you are on, but with my pc using a Rail Driver, the brake is working fine on the BR 423.

    When you are driving past red signals. Even if the 2 white lights are on, you need to press "PZB Befehl" because the safety system thinks the signal is red. Other then that, I haven't experienced what you are talking about.

    And, in addition to what Krober has said, you need to stick to the 25kph, otherwise the active 500hz magnets may stop you as well;-)

    That’s why irl you would most of the time have PZB turned off during shunting.

    "PZB Befehl" This is PZB bypass for us English speakers. If you are on pc that is the 'Del' key.

    The HUD brake number is not displayed.

    OK, I am using the mini HuD so I do not have that number displayed. The brake/throttle setting will briefly flash on the right side of the screen as you move the controls.

    Gotta say, yesterday's optimization improvements are very noticeable on this route. My poor old machine doesn't struggle nearly as much as it did.

    will have to check that :) ... I got too tangled in testing AFB/LZB stuff on 411 and I am still happy about improvement there, as now 411 is finally useable on LZB without those annoying throttle resets :)

    In real life shunting has a maximum speed of 25 km/h, therefore PZB could be running and should be running to stop the train, if you run a red signal.

    Correct, however, as the op has not said how fast he was and the game usually allows 40kph even for shunting moves, I thought I mention it:cool:

    And I agree, as long as you stay below 25 and don’t forget to press Befehl you will be fine. However, this still interrupts shunting irl, hence, the ril actually specifies that PZB should be disabled if you do longer shunting moves (from memory it was 10mins, I may be wrong on this, though. Can’t check at the moment…).

    Thanks for the PSI displays for the Frankfurt S-Bahn at the main station. But the fixtures from the airport look better. Maybe you can do it again. ^^

    How does it look with the optimization for PS5, will there be an expansion of traffic? Or are we still at the original reduced traffic and will it stay that way?

    Is there a particular reason why the RB58 services (Rüsselsheim Opelwerk - Hanau - Aschaffenburg Hbf - Laufach) are not included? These would have provided some very welcome diversity between Rüsselsheim and the Flughafen Fernbahnhof before splitting off towards Frankfurt-Süd.

    Edit: just performed a service using free roam in timetable mode. It fitted nicely into the schedule, at first following an S9 service and then overtaking it via the Fernbahnhof branch. The only issue is that a switch is missing that provides a path between Rüsselsheim Opelwerk platform 23 and Rüsselsheim Platform 2. I guess this was an oversight? Was this the reason the RB58 services were never added?

    Windshield wipers on the 766.2 just stop working after a few seconds of them being on. Works when you turn them off then on again but after a few seconds, breaks again.

    ICEs and ICs at Mainz Hbf have long waits with dispatch beyond ticked, locking up the whole station for around 7 minutes.

    Interesting scoring, I have now driven 2 IC services in the route and not gotten platinum on either. Both times have used and gotten credit for safety system used. This last one IC (2226) using the BR 101 my score was 6200 and platinum level is 6450. I got a 50 point deduction for speeding, but that is not enough to matter. Sorry, did not copy down the individual scores from the Summary page.

    tl:dr Not sure if reported earlier in the thread, but when driving the 430 in the snow you can see flakes falling inside the cab.

    Leaving Wiesbaden Hbf on foot causes you to fall through the floor as soon as leave the tracks, in many places.
