Xbox Series X How To Get The Aws To Work On Xbox Series S

Hi there, my name is James and I enjoy playing TSW4 on my XBOX Series S. My only question is, how do I get the AWS to work and the alerters to sound? I have tried pressing the AWS button in the cab to turn the AWS system on but it doesn't do anything

Many thanks

James

 

Which loco are we talking about here? Pressing the AWS button will not activate it.

 

All of them, I can't seem to get either the AWS to work or the alerter to sound whichever train I drive

 

Forgive me if I sound thick but I don't have as much knowledge about trains as some others do, I am guessing then that if pressing the AWS button doesn't activate the system then its' purpose must be to respond to an alerter for a red signal/change in the speed limit etc?

 

Have you turned the AWS on?

 

How do you do that on the Xbox S series? I've tried to find out how to do so but have unfortunately hit a brick wall.

 

Which train?
Which route?

Different trains have different procedures for activating AWS.

 

Class 43 and class 158, Midland Mainline
Class 150, West Cornwall Local

Many thanks

 

I wondered this too James.
On the 43 there's an AWS isolation switch on the far left of the dash labelled SPARE.
For loco's that don't offer this, there's a workaround - On Steam, you hit CTRL + RETURN. On my Xbox, I started the scenario, plugged a keyboard in, did CTRL-RETURN and removed it and it works. Not great, but it does work.
Hope that helps
EDIT: For some reason, on the 150, SHIFT-RETURN does it.
EDIT: On old locos like the 37, you also need to look behind you and set the AWS Cab Change Lever to On.

 

Thanks very much!

 

Cheers!
