PC Hauptstrecke Rhein-ruhr: Sifa Pedal Not Working For Several Rail Journey Missions

As the title suggests, I've run into an issue with the Sifa Pedal not working while trying to do several rail journeys for Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr for the BR425. I've tried restarting the game, changing keybinds, and even manually trying to press it with my mouse, but when I look down for the Sifa pedal, the game literally doesn't recognize that I can press it.

Now this isn't a problem for all the rail journey missions, however, I've already run into this issue with 2 of the missions (RE11 Duisburg Hbf-Bochum Hbf, and RE11 Bochum Hbf-Duisburg Hbf), so I'm sure this is a problem in other missions too.

Not sure how this issue has persisted for this long on such an old route, but please fix this...I enjoy using safety systems, and not being able to use it takes away a good amount of the enjoyment and challenge I get from the game.

 

I have a similar issue on Lübeck, where the game recognize the keypress, but still gives me the forced Sifa brake....

 

get up from the chair in the locomotive and sit again [E]
such a funny bug

 

I recently got HRR for TSW3 and can confirm the bug is still there, and the stand up/sit down [E] workaround does resolve the issue. However, it seems that the bug only happens when the loco is loaded in ready to go with the reverser key set in the forward position. So, look for that clue if you're lazy and don't want to get up all the time. Getting a loco bug right out of the gate is bad. Please fix!

 

if u are talking about it showing on side of the screen then yes its not showing but sifa is working fine for me and im on PC Steam and did a livestream few hours ago and was on it for over 1 hour and all sweet i dont mine it not showing on side of the screen anyway but it is a clear issue once again dovetail need to get a hold of as its a little one that can be fixed with to much issues i think

 

It's a Sifa emergency brake bug I'm referring to, but I can provide a test case just for clarity:

1. Select the Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr route
2. Select SCENARIOS
3. Select the Essen Connection scenario and press Get Started

When loaded in do these steps to reproduce the Sifa bug:

1. Unisolate Sifa [Shift + Enter]
2. Apply power with the Master Controller [A] to reach a speed greater than 5 km/h

Bug: Observe that Sifa applies emergency brakes, and that the loco comes to a complete stop.

As mentioned earlier the bug will not happen if you stand up [E] and sit down again before the Sifa system is active. In regard to where Sifa is working, I've noticed that most timetable runs do not have this bug as the loco is not ready-to-go initially. Scenarios however have a couple of these.

 

Sifa pedal goes in the wrong direction too
From down to up. the contrary is the right way..
