    Hi
    As a real life traindriver, I do have an eye for details.
    I mostly like driving German routes, and will only be focus on that, and I hope that these issues will be fixed

    The first thing, I would like to piont out is this.
    In real life, only one set of air hoses are normaly in use. Because of the two set, are of the convenience to the person to connect them, and for the safety, if one of them brakes.
    Also, the electric cables going in, the locomotive. Only one is used, because the other cabel is for use between passengercars, and not long enough to get to the loco.

    Next thing is the distributor cut-of valve on freight cars. When he in-game is in, it is standing in of-position.
    You can see it by the indication, that acturly is a drawing of a brake-cylinder. The "x" means the brake cylinder is of. On the next image, of a dostos-car it is completely correct.
    It is important for me to say, that it is really nice to see that these handles now work. 20211007192918_1.jpg 20211007193641_1.jpg

    Another thing, I have noticed, is with PZB. I don't think you have the right time to brake, from acknowledged a 1000 Hz.
    I just did a test, with a freght train in PZB mode U. I got the emergency brake just after 31 sec. It should be 38 sec.
    I don't know if it is the same in mode O or M.

    Keep up the good work, and greetings from Denmark.
    -Peter

    That should be working as intended. PZB doesn‘t give you 38 sec to slow down. What it actually does is compare your speed to a calculated braking curve which reaches 55 km/h after 38 sec. The second your speed crosses the braking curve, an emergency brake application is triggered. This could happen even a few seconds after acknowledging an active 1000Hz magnet in extreme cases.
