    Hello, yesterday I was playing one of the BR 187 freight services in Journey mode on Koeln-Aachen, and noticed a couple weirdnesses: I was pulling loaded timber wagons, which I assume would mean 100kph max, and using PZB mode U, which pretty much means the same limit once again, but I also had LZB on. AFB was on and initially set to 95.

    At first, entering the first encountered LZB portal, and raising AFB, all was well for a while, it kept me at 100kph.


    - First issue was: after a while, though, the target speed shot up to 140kph. Now I know LZB can probably do the "going over your U Zugart's PZB speed" part as technically, you're not under PZB anymore, but is there no way to fix these services so this does not happen when clearly you would never be allowed to go 140 by the load you're transporting? Line speed was working correctly showing 200 and 250 when so, so going 140 with loaded timber wagons still didn't mean incurring in any loss of ingame points. Also, why does this happen only after a few kilometers under LZB, while at first it behaves correctly?

    - The second, even weirder issue, was when nearing the end of the LZB equipped track, nothing other than the usual LZB Ende request and acknowledge happened with the LZB system. It would've kept me going at 140kph till the end, turning off and releasing me back into PZB control 40kph over the speed limit for my U Art. Wouldn't it be supposed to calculate a braking curve so that I get released at the end of the LZB segment at around 100kph?


    Now, the former sounds to me like it could be an issue less related to the specific loco DLC than the latter, perhaps even just a current game limitation? The second issue needs to be addressed, though.

    P.S. One additional detail is I tried reproducing the second issue behaviour with a BR 101 set to PZB U, (which can and indeed does reach 200 under AFB-LZB) and what happens with that loco is that a certain distance (...4km? IDR) before the end of the LZB section the upcoming target speed of 100kph DOES indeed appear, the AFB effectively getting me down to it in time for normal PZB driving to resume without issue. But even with the 101 the way it appears is weird, and unlike other usual upcoming target speeds: rather than getting a braking curve the target speed immediately BECOMES 100kph, probably prompting a harsher AFB slowdown than usual. The G light also blinked all the way down from 200 to 100, yet no Zwangsbremsung.
    Weird.

    AFB/PZB/LZB sounds work.
    Motor sounds usually only work if the loco is reloaded. Power cycle (off then on), going very far away and back to reload, or saving and loading the save would make the motor sounds work.
