    Did a long freight service with the 204 on Dresden-Riesa yesterday. I set up the cab, put the gear selector into fast and departed. I quickly noticed I couldn't get much above 40 km/h, so I turned round and checked the gear selector switch. It had reset into Shunting. Stopped the train and tried to switch it again. Found out that the selector resets automatically to shunting the moment you put the reverser into forward or reverse.

    Can this be checked and fixed please?

    Yeah, ok, but that doesn’t change the fact that it doesn’t work as it should

    If I recall correctly, the d-pad for some reasons operates the gear changer as well as reverser. Just set both manually by looking and interacting with them and all should be fine (aside from the 204 being an utterly broken, non-prototypical mess, but that’s another story).

    Didn’t think of that. Thanks for the advice. I’ll try it later
