    No power available when completing the introduction after closing the doors. Followed all instructions multiple and cannot get power to move the train. This is on MAIN-SPESSART BAHN

    What am I missing?

    Is your reverser switch set to Forward instead of Neutral?

    Same here the first time I did it. It did this in TSW 2020 as well. I re-started the training, and made sure not to rush overtop of the announcer. I also made sure to hold the pantograph switch & the MCB for 2 seconds when told to activate them (and the blue bar appeared on the LCD screen).

    I was able to to move the train after releasing the parking brake the second time.

    Reverser is in neutral. Tried holding raise pantograph for a few seconds and the icon on the screen stays red like the pantograph is not raising.

    If you wait for the brakes to charge before raising the pantograph and closing the breaker it seems to work fine.

    Yes, it is a "bug". Restart the Introduction and follow the "instructor" voice slowly.
    Type: "Raise the pantograph", wait a second, then raise the pantograph.
    "set the MCB to close", wait a second, then close the MCB.
    Always wait for "instructor" voice before set something, also if you already know what to do.

    Thats the solution.

    Actually, its not a bug that you cant raise the pantos until the brake pressure is there because the air pressure for the brakes is also used for upping the panto.

    An instruction is missing after you put the reverser into neutral. Once you do wait till the brakes are charged (or until the gauge numbers stop moving)

    I used the term "bug" because every single command is locked except the lever you have to manage.
    If you miss a step, also just a little bit, you have to restart the introduction. Because you cant turn back and manage again the previous command/lever, because a new instruction will lock the previous one. Not properly a bug, but a very glitchy system (I prefer the "open" tutorial of the first TSW when we was able to manage all the dashboard levers.)

    Yeah, the fact DTG script-locks everything in the tutorials sucks pretty much.
