Anyone else have issues driving the 350/3? I cannot cancel the DRA when it activates. Pressing Q dosen't work. Am I missing something? Mike
The DRA is the Drivers Reminder Appliance It does not "Activate" - it is either On or Off and when On stops you from Taking Power Peter
DRA is the red light/switch/button on the dash which the driver sets to "remind" them that there is an adverse aspect (ie not a green) that they need to take note of after making a station stop or setting off This is turned on and off with the Y key in the 350, but it can be other keys in other locos. As Peter says, when DRA is applied the unit won't take power until you turn DRA back off again (acknowledging that you know about the adverse signal or that it cleared in the meantime) What it's basically for is that you won't take off like a bat out of hell on a single yellow after stopping at a station
I wonder iif you can reset the DSD before it goes off? Might give that a go sometime, press the E key or move the power-brake controller. In the real 350 cab, moving the PBC a notch prevents the DSD alarm going off. Alternatively I've lifted my feet off the pedal for a split-second, and back down again so I don't have that damned alarm going off randomly!
