    Trying to hit this button quickly to avoid being redlighted and stopped isn't always easy trying to line up with the button with the on screen highliter can be frustrating,so can a xbox controller have a button assigned to this fuction?I have seen another person playing on this route and they where able to push this button without highlighting it but i don't how they where doing it.

    the easiest way to reset after a missed ZSI is to switch the master switch off and back on. i havent found another way yet

    I have been testing some imput from others here,by reloading a save and allowing my train to get redlighted over and over to test others suggestion out,i saved very close to a stop where there a yellow/redlight everytime so it's easy to restart and test options for dealing with it over and over.this is what worked for me.
    1st If you some how miss hitting ZS and get redlighted and stopped,(Put your control wheel to off and your vacuum brake to fully released(Now if you are on a steep grade you should be able to use the loco brake until you can clear unlock the vacuum brakes(having cut in or cut out on or off doesn't seem to change how this works)after you do this hit the ZS button and this should refill you vacuum system and release the train brakes.(Now if this will work everytime i'm not sure,it will take me testing this on other senarios and senario planner runs to know just how well this will work at other times.)


    There are likely others who have found there own ways as well.but this worked for me for now.

    Your welcome, one of the community managers shared it in a thread earlier when it was released. Most of the time manuals can be found on steam on the product page for which ever route. I usually google for example “Arosa TSW steam” and it will bring it right up, hope it helps!

    I simply press the B button (ZS acknowledge) and release the brakes?
