    Hi,
    after arriving to Salburg and switching to Bpmmbdzf 286, I pass brake tests and when scenario displays you can move, I can't apply traction probably brakes are not released: see my screenshot.

    Please check the pressure in your brakes, try overcharge as learned in tutorial

    I did it twice the tutorial but I didn't really understand how to do it? The brake overcharge button should it be pressed continuously or just once? How long do I have to wait for the overcharge?

    You look at the HLL gauge and keep it pressed until the needle is at the required pressure (I think it's 5.5 bar in that scenario).

    As mentioned in other threads, go to the BR101, reactivate it, press PZB Frei and shut down it, before heading back to the cab car.

    The PZB in the loco is forcing an emergency brake application and draining your brakes.

    The devs acknowledged the issues and have made a fix, but it'll take some time to get pushed out.

    I saw this information but when I return to BR101 and press PZB Frei, I lost remote connection in Cab Car: HS aus is displayed.

    To get moving again after stopping at Salzburg in the "Take a Cab Back" scenario, you must completely power down your current cab to prevent it from conflicting with the other end of the train. Because this is an Expert level addon, simply moving the master key is not enough to reset the brake pipes.
    Follow this exact shutdown sequence before walking to the other end of the train:

    Phase 1: Complete Cab Shutdown at Salzburg
    1. Brakes: Set the train brake lever to Full Service or Emergency.
    2. Direction & Throttle: Set the reverser to Neutral/Off and remove the master key.
    3. PZB/LZB: Turn off the PZB and LZB isolation valves/switches.
    4. Brake Controller Valve: This is the most crucial step—ensure you isolate/close the brake controller valve (Bremssteller) in your current cab so it completely stops feeding the main brake pipe (HL/HLL).
    5. Battery Switch: Turn off the battery/control current switches to completely deaden the desk.

    Phase 2: Setting up the Opposite Cab
    Once the first cab is fully isolated, walk down the platform to the other end of the train. If you accidentally fall off the platform or walk too far, remember you can press CTRL + 0 on your keyboard to instantly teleport back inside. [1, 2]
    1. Activate Cab: Insert the master key and turn the battery/control switches on.
    2. Open Brake Valve: Open the brake controller valve in this cab to take control of the pneumatic system.
    3. Recharge Brakes: Move the brake lever to Release (or use the overcharge function if the gauges are stuck) and wait until your main brake pipe pressure rises to 5.0 bar.
    4. Reset Safety Systems: Acknowledge any initial PZB restrictive states or alarms (PZB Frei / PZB Wachsam) to clear active emergency brake interventions.
    This is what Google AI says. Is it true, not known untill it is tried.

    [EDIT] Tried some times what Google AI thinks but that is not correct. What I did after I took control of the cab car. As soon as it says to direction forward, do it and then set it back to neutral until the command close doors. Then set to forward again to save battery.
