Uk Safety Systems

My question is when using a keyboard to them on why does it turn some on and then the others off and vice versa. So you have get uo and do the manually.

 

Yeah, it's a bit random what is assigned to each key with UK locos/trains, but I usually do CTRL + Enter, Shift + Enter, Shift + ' and it usually activates everything ok

 

What do mean by that last shift +

 

that you need some glasses
there is the key ' behind it
but for me that is new too shift + '

 

Is this on a specific train? I seem to remember that on the class 166 you turn some fuses on and some others (which are already on) off. Most of the time it's just ctrl-enter and shift-enter to enable AWS/TPWS and Vigilance/DSD.

 

Yea its on the class 801 and 710.

 

I never knew you could use keyboard commands to turn safety systems on and off.

I always just turn around and turn the switches on manually adds to the immersion IMO.

 

most of the time I do this too. I mostly reserve keyboard use for services where you have to activate the safety systems in the other cab, with not enough setup time in the service.

Edit: anyway, real immersion would be to have the safety systems on by default

 

Sorry, meant Shift + Apostrophe

 

Thanks

 

The 801 used to work properly, but a patch broke it so you have to get up and do it manually.
Never had to use shift ' before; didn't know about it.

 

all the 800 series,, you can not heard anything unless you look 90 degrees from the way the train is going,

So unless you do not want to see anything, in front of the train, then you can not use the safety systems

 

What? That sounds like it might be your headphones. Never had that.

 

1 I do not have headphones
2 I can hear every other trains or trainsets except the 800 series satefy systems

 

then it should be coming your controller, that means your controller volume is down/off

 

what controler, I am using a PC, there is no controler

 

Just tried shift ' on the 380; it doesn't do anything.

 

Well, it must be a personal issue because I've never had an issue witht he 80x trains. Do AWS sounds go somewhere else on PC?

 

all the sounds for every train and trainset goes to the speaker
better yet if I turn the view to 90 degrees either side from the front of the train, I can hear the safety systems, but then I have no idea where i am going

 

hmmm that's very strange.
