I watch youtube video on how to use it and i'm still not sure what it does.Is there any detailed info on how to use it anywhere and all it's various fuctions,(one thing i noted was that the blue marker that highlights when you turn afb on,doesn't light up right away.Does it only light up after you get your train moving?
AFB only controls your max speed, by the blue marker. You need use your throttle to add power. You can add power without fear because the AFB will cut the power automatically when the train reaches the chosen speed and keep the train always at the chosen speed. So you need AFB only for limit your speed, because you can operate at different speed, until chosen speed. Hope this helps
In which German locos can AFB be activated? So far I only found it in DB BR 143, and here it is always active by default, I guess. Is there a way to deactivate it in 143? I checked the whole cab yesterday but found no button.
Oh ok, I have not found the button yet within the BR 143. So I will take a second look at the left desk. ;-) Can this be done while sitting in the drivers seat or do you have to get up to reach the button? Maybe that is one reason why I haven't found the button yet
You can also select the Camera View (RS or LS, Cant remember exactly which one ) for the left panel and the right one while sitting on the drivers seat aswell. Makes it easier to find the buttons.
I really checked the whole cab but cannot find the button to turn it off :-/ Is it under the desk? I even checked the panel in the engine room. Can someone please help? I would be very grateful.
