Hello Hells, I too had this issue, and solved it. It turns out that when you leave the loco and get to the cab car, you have to make sure to turn on the cab car battery (on the back wall). I found this through trial and error. And once I turned the battery on, the pants controls worked and I was able to finish the tutorial.
Service PbZ2486. Delivery of faulty wagons to the depot. How to correctly calculate train data if the brakes on one car are not working? I'm using Noir's spreadsheet, but it assumes all the cars have working brakes. I just need to change the train length and weight manually, am I right? And what about the speed limit?
What's wrong? I just have a question about how to calculate the train data correctly. Everything else seems perfectly functional.
Is that jobs where have to pick up different wagons and drive them down the line. If so I done them and I was thinking of the scenario on salzburg route sorry mate.
It's funny that restarting the service solved the problem with the brake valve and the car is slowing down. However, I was forced to give up and abandon the service. I launched the game again, and the same service was already in progress, with two cars having brake problems. I released the brakes manually on the faulty cars and drove at 60 km/h. It was raining outside and nighttime, so I thought that was a safe speed. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but thanks to TSG for services like this. It's very interesting.
That is intentional The "PbZ" services often include faulty coaches, for example where the brakes have been cut out, so in such service types IC coaches have a random chance of spawning with the distributor cut out. Definitely inspect the train before departing or the brake performance might not be what you expect! Also, these faulty coaches should already have the control reservoir (the reference pressure for the brake valve to determine if it should apply or release the brakes) vented, but if for some reason these coaches still have the brakes applied (indicated by the two plates showing red rather than green on the side of the coach) pull the "Distributor Release" valve until the indicators show green
In regards to the brakes, for those on PC, I can recommend a small tool on TSC (using the TSW API): https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c3-train-sim-world/c75-utilities/i7282-tsw-formation-viewer If you are unsure what to look for along the train this will help you to identify live what the state of the brakes on each Waggons are in your consist. If a brake is cut out and / or still applied you will spot it right away.
The first time I launched this service, I couldn't get the train moving. My first thought was that it was a bug, but I decided to check the brake valves on the cars. Then everything became clear. The app is a great helper.
