Hello all !! I'm recently started to play TSW4 and I'm actually enjoying it, but there's something that happens that I really can't figure while I'm using the Class 66. When I'm on my route, suddenly the brakes activates without I'm doing nothing and I can't figure what mistake I do. It isn't an AWS problem cuz I never missed it once. It seems that happens when I'm at full power and try to decrease speed switching power to 8 from 7 or 6 or any other %, but sometimes it just happen randomly the barin the brake pipe drops and the brake sistem activates makeing the job really frustrating to me and eventually ruining the job. Can anyone explain me that ? Sorry for bad english....
Could the brakes on the 66 or some of the other wagons be stuck? When you are running does the brake pipe show anything but 5 bar? You could try fully applying then releasing the brakes again. Make sure the direct brake is fully released too.
The direct brake is relased. It happens if I try to drop speed applying less power, the brake pipe bar drops to 0 and It can be nothing I can do until the train stop. then I have to charge again the brake pipe and wait to start again, resulting in a huge loss of time, that's why I started thinking I do something wrong but can't figure what
I don’t know what the problem is, sorry. I’ll try it for myself after I finish my current service though.
Please always help us trying to reproduce the issue by giving: Route, Loco (version, there's many 66's around), Service. So far, I have not encountered an issue with any of the Class 66s.
If you have the safety systems on, it could be the TPWS grids activating the emergency brakes if you are going too fast on approach to a speed reduction or an adverse signal (red).
Thanks all for your answers I'll start soon a new service and If it happens again I'll post more detail.
Yes, as Spikee1975 has said, this would be much more helpful. ----- A bit late here, I was actually looking for something else when came across your post here krotenz#1028 Not sure how you have made out, but maybe this video may help you out, that is if you have not figured it out yet. Except all cookies to see Video.
