    So if im using non expert wagons will still have to set up like you do if you are.

    For the loco obviously yes, but you can then not do a proper brake check or do manual coupling…

    similarly, and there will also be fun with brakes that won’t let you drive.
    I am very unhappy with the digestive simulation!

    It is not clear why I or anyone else who loves trains will spend time and energy solving the problems of scenario simulation + bug... this is just a X2 problem, especially not for train driver. people have been learning and practicing for years to at least master the real 145, for example.

    ha, it’s been 2.5 years and Bernina’s route still has a couple of impassable scenarios without God mode (and if you know how to use them)...
    And how good it is that I did a good job buying the game... as well as paying too much without a pack.

    The bug you quoted by vmeck should be fixed in the patch that released a month or so ago, we do try to fix every issue that is reported to us or that we find ourselves! :)

    If you have encountered other bugs with the scenarios please let us know and we will try to fix those as well. I am aware of two of the scenarios having too harsh score criteria for the platinum medal (Safety system tutorial and Expert. Simply Delivered) but if there are other issues I have missed them.

    cwf.green Hi, sorry for the ping, but can you briefly explain how auxiliary compressor works on 145? It seems to work differently from 101, and there's no information on it anywhere. Manual and in-game tutorial do not mention it at all, and I couldn't find any information either here on the forums, or out on the internet.

    At the moment, it feels like auxiliary compressor turns on when pantograph is up, MCB is open, and main screen shows that pressure is too low for MCB to be closed. But it doesn't turn on, when pantograph is down, so I do not understand, what am I supposed to do, if locomotive doesn't have enough air to raise the pantograph.

    Thanks in advance.

    Battery has to be on, the "master key" to forward. Then a too low pressure activates the aux compressor.

    Works fine for me. The 101 has the lss, which cuts out when pressure is reached for the panto and the HS.

    hm, is it interesting when the acceleration/braking accelerometer of all types and types of vehicles are reversed in the game? or rather, from the third part of the game he shows everything in full. When braking sharply, the interface is tilted downward, although in the classic trailing simulator it worked correctly...

    Is the PIS display working for you guys? No matter what code I enter, nothing shows up.

    No there is a small bug but there is a very simple work around.... In the engine room is a PIS switch turn the PIS off and on again, it restarts and it will works again.

    Is there any update on the 145 turning all cab sounds silent?
    I would assume this has a high priority given it affects all routes as the 145 substitutes for most freight services.

    Its already known but a patch cost a long time. It needs to be checked in QA and as you know that takes ages.

    Yeah QA needs to get more efficient somehow.
    Hopefully its just a hotfix and wont take as long as the E94 patch.
    Seems like i will have to say goodbye to the 145 until then.

    I experience the lever sounds missing within the cab, all sounds, etc are still present.
    This issue is something that happens over time, so if I drive starting from Meissen, the sounds will dissapear around Dresden Pieschen. I don't remember passing any 145's before the sounds go missing. I think it's a thing that triggers without any other 145's being present.
