    Hi, i've searched the internet, forums, game settings, but i can't figure out how to operate the deadman switch on the trains equiped with ATB (SNG3, ICMm), i have to turn the cam and press the button if i wish to use this system, which is inconvenient. Is there a hotkey on the controller to operate it? Thanks!

    Have you looked at the controller settings in the game? The deadman switch is the same as sifa on German trains, the alerter on US trains, TPWS/AWSS on UK trains, named differently, all do the same thing: Make a noise to get you the driver's attention.

    I have, but it doesn't seem to work with the ATB.

    Have a look here, https://www.youtube.com/live/TnS5FoFu-R0?si=1SoOf-mClHNEUxgk&t=1160 the ATB is very different, and easier than PZB, I have zero issues with the deadman activation with my XB controller, and ATB is just following the indications on the dash of ya train. You are pressing ___ on the controller when the deadman activates.?

    ATB and deadman are two separate things. Deadman is B on the controller. ATB requires a certain amount of brake application, until the white indicator shows up.

    Hi, thanks! It was B indeed. I'm aware they're both different systems, it's just when the deadman is to be pressed (or unpressed) a blue "ATB" light comes on. Probably because the systems work together.
