    When departing from Leipzig on the IC route, at the start of the LZB zone, the 101 states "Ende", and after pressing Release, the LZB will initially start correctly, stating a speed limit of 160 in the gauge. However, a short while later, the loco begins randomly braking at every signal (the distance counter ticking up from every signal) until it eventually stops for no obvious reason. This seems to happen on any service I do when departing from Leipzig, any advice would be great.

    Maybe I'm just missing a button or something? Thank you! =)

    Had the same too. But from Dresden to Leipzig. Must be a bug. Also in the 101.

    I did an IC service in the 101 from Dresden to Leipzig last night and had no issues at all.

    I did the IC 2046 from Dresden to Leipzig. If you got the Maintalbahn layers activated, you will catch up to a 642 about 5km before Leipzig.

    Glad it's not just me, all systems were on. Will try this 2046 service and report back!

    Same issue here. I’ve not seen the Ende light come on at the start of an LZB section before.

    Same here with the old 101 (not expert) - after a short while in the LZB section it keeps thinking, "0 km/h" is shortly ahead all the time.
    No issue with other trains like ICE-T.

    It happens only when driving cab 2, that it seems to look "backwards" in terms of LZB

    I had this today. I had previously read about this happening in a different loco on a different route (can’t remember which) a while back but I had the (original) BR101 reading the LZB from behind the train instead of in front on a Leipzig to Dresden service.

    I restarted the service and drove it with the safety systems and AFB turned off to be able to go 200 km/h and complete the run properly, using the track monitor in the HUD as an LZB substitute to know what was happening ahead. It meant I could complete the service on time but it wasn’t a particularly satisfying experience.
