    Hi I have multiple questions can you ask the developers if they will ever add/simulate magnet brakes and can you also ask if the Netherlands will ever be in the sim 3rd thing I found some inconsistency in the braking of the DB BR423 DBKS other trains have it as well today I was testing the brakes of the br423 and the results are kind of weird I activated sifa and drove to 140kmh i stood up from the seat and started a timer to see how long it would take sifa to get the train to a full stop and it took 33,14 seconds I also tested normal emergency brakes by pulling the train throttle to emergency brake it took 30,78 seconds for the train to come to a full stop I also tested it with the big red emergency button and it took 32, 03 seconds to stop the train isn't the big red button supposed to stop the train faster if not what's the use of the red button if you can just pull the throttle to emergency? I also found that when I pull the throttle to - 10 (max braking without using emergency brakes) the screens in the train show the braking force to be -140 but when I pull the throttle to the emergency brakes the needle in the brake force screen goes to 0 do you know why that is? I just did another test with pzb pzb stops the train the fastest pzb stops the train in 28,31 seconds I tested this by keeping pzb off till I was at 140kmh I then put pzb on and it took 28,31 seconds to a complete stop which is also weird and inconsistent and the 4th and final question why can't I uncouple the trains from each other

    It would be better if you could do a question per line rather than just bunching it together. But here is my pov of these
    1. Nobody knows. But if a train ever uses that as its main brake, it would probably be simulated. It would be pointless to simulate something that doesn't do anything or not used.
    2. The big red button is easier and quicker to press down and triggers the emergency brakes immediately. On the lever, you have to move it all the way to emergency meaning braking isn't as instant.

    Magnet brakes is a form of emergency braking that alot of trains have such as the br 442 it's basically a big magnet that drops onto the rails and stops the train faster due to friction but the game currently doesn't have it simulated
    I asked one of the tsw3 guys why the brakes have an inconsistancy he also didn't know why it does that he made a video about it
