I've seen today forum threads about not completion a scenario becouse of DPU/Banking issues. The sequence of scenarios in Journeys is not conducive to this - instructionals ones follow the problematic ones. Very logical, indeed... The correct configuration is not so obvious, and the instructions are far from ideal in this regard. A beautiful movie about German security systems has already been made - maybe it's time for Sand Patch and DPU? I wonder how many people will rate the game unfavorably on Steam, because it's impossible to complete the task, for beginners. Bajzel, Pany, Bajzel: D about TSW2
From page 6 -> DPU/Banking http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/530070/manuals/Operator_Manual_EN.pdf?t=1489589182 If you mean about the onboard computer (IFD) during introduction tutorial (and some scenario?) I think you can bypass the "bug" to changing "control scheme" and swap from immersion to classic. About PZB/LZB, Youtube "movie" apart (just the basics), if we really like to learning how to use it at 100%, we need a lot of practice...and a good manual like this one for the IC (DB BR 101, I chose this cause the LZB / different loco but the same safety systems) -> https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/448194/manuals/vR_BR101PL_VRot_EN.pdf?t=1496911867
That "from page 6" manual isn't correct but it is close to. I wrote this post out of concern for others, but thank you for your support Some scenarios with DPU turned off (Fully Fuelled?) are before these ones about how to setup DPU and make it usefull, etc. This game needs thematic tutorials. Loco focused "how to start" training are not enough.
"From page 6" because on page 6 there are the basic terminology useful on how to setup correctly a multiple units train (short hood / long hood). I never seen a real American loco and I'm not a train driver/operator but following the manual above I moved (with throttle on 2 and 3, with 2 ac4400cw) an about 40-50 car long train with 2 locos on front and 2 on rear (banking). Fully Fuelled scenario? Always from page 6. I setup the train to having max power (brake cut-off valve: cut-out, gen field: off, engine run: off, ctrl & fuel pump: off, mu2a-valve: trial 6 or 26. In all locos except on the leader who must to have brake cut-off valve: on, gen field: on, engine run: on, ctrl & fuel pump: on, mau2a-valve: lead, banking comm: on, lead axle sand: on, and use sand to avoid wheelslip. Radio & hotd: on in every single loco. Im still a newbie on american-heavy haul contents but in the link above you can find all the correct procedures to follow with ac4400cw, sd40-2 and gp38-2). Train has moved with throttle on 3 and 4 (without the ac4400cw in the composition). And add that the English (or the German about PZB searching) language don't play in my team. People, first of all, need time, patience and passion.
DPU - Distributed Power Unit a locomotive set capable of remote-control operation in conjunction with locomotive units at the train's head end.
