Hello, I am currently driving a freight train with a Class 47-4jX on the West Coast Main Line. My problem is that I cannot activate the AWS. Only the cab change lever can be used, the AWS isolation lever cannot even be used. In the other cab, it's the opposite: the change lever is unusable and the isolation lever work No matter of their position, the AWS does not respond. The AWS seems to be poorly designed on this locomotive. Is there a solution? Thank you.
There are some locos in TSW (and the Class 47 may be one of them) where the AWS and cab changeover levers have to be done in a specific order, AWS first, then changeover lever second. I’ve never tried it but it might also be the case that if the cab changeover lever is on in one cab it will prevent the one in the other cab being moved. I’ve never encountered an issue with turning the AWS on in any of the Class 47 variants in TSW so it could be one of those things.
Thank you for your help. I loaded the WCML version in free roam. Then I returned to my save file with the aws blocked, and now the lever can be interacted with. This is very strange, but at least it works again.
