Can’t Get Brakes To Release On Train In Training Centre Yard.

I board the train in the yard, i start train motor, I select forward on the reverser. I attempt to release brakes as per tutorial. The line indicating your requested brake pipe pressure moves but the actual brake pipe pressure does not move above 0 bar. I can increase the throttle and force train to move against the brakes. So the train is ready to go. What am I missing?

 

I take it you are trying the Class 66. For a cold start you need to cut in the bakes on the EM2000 screen for the brakes to function.

 

Oh thanks so much ! Where in the sim, should have I learned such a thing?

 

It's actually not part of the core TWS3 routes or training and it should be. This is something you learn on one of the Class 66 scenarios on the East Coast Way addon in TSW2 where you have a Class 66 top and tailed on an engineering train.

They really should have put this in the training centre for the Class 66 on TSW3.
