It says in the control guide that it is Page down, yet when you click on it, nothing happens. No zugbeeinflussung. I changed it to something else, first Ctrl+P then Ctrl+shift+P, and both of them closed the MCB and left me powerless in the middle of a run. Yes, changing the button for PZB acknowledge closes the MCB and does nothing to the PZB. And the originally intended button for it doesn't work. What's going on?
Not all locomotives or multiple units still make a sound for acknowledging. It's either real life or not implemented
From what I have experienced, you have to restart your service after changing key binds for the changes to take effect. Apart from that, the PZB Acknowledge key (Wachsamkeitstaste) works as expected for me, I just gave it a try. Maybe you can specify on what locomotive/multi-unit you encountered the problem?
Remapping keys is dicey, because if you map to a key that already has a function it retains that function (as you found with the MCB). This can create a cascading daisy-chain of re-maps. Anyway, I have never encountered a problem with PZB acknowledge/Pg Dn. Sometimes issues with Sifa (Q), but not that.
On the BR442 Talent 2, you have to hold it down until you hear a buzz, while the cab button slowly moves forward. Ctrl + P does the MCB anyway, so probably best not to rebind it to that.
BR 185. And I'm pretty sure it says Zugbeeinflussung when you press the wachsamkeitstaste. I didn't know Ctrl+P was the circuit breaker, that's why I retried with Ctrl+Shift+P binding but it did the same thing. Circuit breaker wasn't on the key binding list as far as I could see.
Can I confirm that you actually have PZB enabled? Just to make sure, because they are off by default.
In the default setup shift+P should lower and raise the pantograph, while shift+control+P should toggle the MCB, if I am not mistaken. So an unlucky choice of double key bind. Apart from that: I just gave it a try with the BR 185.5 MRCE and the BR 185.2. The PZB Wachsamkeitstaste works on both locos, but only the BR 185.2 acknowledges the input with "Zugbeeinflussung". The BR 185.5 MRCE stays silent (but the input registers anyway). Maybe there are also differences between the versions, but I didn't try that.
That's both for BR 185 & 182 which uses OBB Announcer Chris Lohner for the PZB Wachsam on the following keys Pg down (Bild Ab) End Key PZB Frei (Ende) PZB Befehl Delete Key (Entf). Control Shift R AFB on Control Shift Enter PZB/LZB Sifa On. If still bugged contact support weblink is dovetailgames.freshdesk.com
It works OK, but it may be critical in how long you keep the key pressed. Also you need to select the right moment. It may take some time to get used to it.
I don't have this issue. Does clicking the switch with the mouse work to acknowledge PZB? I'd post a bug report on the support site. Explanation here.
Yes it works. Only problem is you can't enjoy a good outside view in a high traffic area with lots of 1000Hz magnets. Having a keyboard key would be so much more convenient. I actually tried to assign "Q" to PZB acknowledge, since it's the default button to acknowledge train control systems in UK and US routes, but it still didn't work. It only acknowledges sifa(yes, one button can do more than one thing. On UK trains you acknowledge the AWS and DVD at the same time with "Q")
PZB acknowledge has a keyboard key. It's 'pg down' I haven't had any issues but on some locos / units you need to PRESS the key not just tap it. If you just quickly press it, it won't register. I get into practice of pass over magnet, then press and hold pg dn for a beat. That always works.
