    I’ve not actually tried AFB yet. It’ll probably be tomorrow now. I just remember Matt saying last night AFB has to be switched on manually. By holding the shift button, square on the PS5, the L2 and R2 buttons should increase/decrease AFB.

    It works well for me. What I don't understand is why they haven't assigned a button for Sifa. To recognise sifa you still have to listen to the "Zugbeeinflussung" of the pzb as before. Instead they have enabled a button for pzb befehl, which is never used in TSW.

    Could this be something for the upcoming Dresden route? What is pzb befehl?

    PZB Befehl is used to override 2000hz (stop) magnets under very specific circumstances or with the permission of the dispatcher.
    Its function is similar to the British "TPWS train stop override" button.
    This is hardly used in TSW, so I don't understand the need to enable a direct access button on the controller. On the other hand sifa, which is used thousands of times has no direct access. I don't understand what DTG is thinking sometimes, really :|
