    Hi everyone, hope you are having a good day. So, I don't know if i'm wrong but I think that the brake power that has the Class 380 after the update is a little too much, I think. Because when I apply a 3% Brake power, the train slows down like I applied 25% brake power and before I noticed the train stops. I don't if this is a problem or I'm going crazy with all this. Any information will be appreciated, Thanks. Bye

    Yeah ive noticed this issue, the 380s braking has been nerfed. Like at 30mph, the braking distance for full service is absolutely unnaturally short. I defo think this update has done something to the 380. Just need the devs to see if its actually wrong or not.

    I noticed this too, the slightest brake application brings the train to a halt very rapidly, it's hard to brake smoothly.

    I don't know; I love sporty driving; throw it into a platform at 50 mph and still easily stop. Leave it alone ;) :cool:

    Seems far too strong. Should be realistic and not stop on a dime.

    This is getting silly, you fix the Class 350's but mess the 380s. Don't just try and neglect one another.

    I've noticed this too. Even setting the brake to just 1% brings the train to a stop rather quickly.

    5% brake stops the 380 quicker than it should.

    At 15mph, 5% wouldn't slow you down in just a few seconds.
