Steam Br185.2 - Pick Up Scenario

Dear community,

I just finished playignt this scenario and I have two questions that could be clarified. For reference I played with the Sifa and PZB on in both locomotives (in this scenario you have to drive a second train after finishing the service with the first one). I did not use AFB.

1 - Even if SIFA and PZB where switched on, the amount of points awarded at the end of the scenario was zero. How is this possible? Is it the game or I have missed something? I am sure I had Sifa and PZB active on both trains (first service and "filling in" for the second driver).

2 - Even if i slow down according to PZB command, and proceed at reasonable speeds after the target speed has been reached, in two occasions I was forced into an emergency stop. The case is the following:

• Incoming limit is 60 km/h
• PZB tells me to slow down to 70km/h
• I continue to slow down all the way to 60km/h in preparation for the speed limit and maintain speed.
• Soon after the 60km/h limit, there is a 40km/h limit i see from the HUD
• I slow down not so aggressively, but I am positive I will cross the limit sign at 40km/h
• All of a sudden, while decelerating from 60 to 40 I get "Zwangsbremsung" alarm and the train stops to 0km/h and I have to reset the train.
  

It seems that there is a pre-defined decelleration rate that, if exceeded, triggers the PZB, but I do not see any indication on the HUD (I play withe the default HUD.

 

Sounds like you forgot to acknowledge a signal displaying Vr2.

 

Hi, I am quite sure no "acknowledge" message is received after the first saying to reduce the speed to 60km. It really feels like I am not slowing down fast enough, yet I have no visual indication on how fast to decellerate, except that I have to be at 40 when i pass the limit signal. I will re-run the scenario with the "normal" HUD to see if i am missing something.
