    Hi,
    Just got the Dresden-Riesa route plus the Vectron. I've been trying my best to run with all the safety systems turned on, so far so good.
    On a couple of accasions I am expecting to see a green aspect (according to the HUD) but instead I get a red aspect with a flashing white lamp below. If passed a brake application occurs (cleared with PZB release then ack). I've had this on the approach to Riesa and one other area (can't remember where that was).
    Is this correct behavior, should a PZB override be used when passing these signals?

    Yes, hold it until you pass the signal. You must also be running below 40 Km/h.

    Simply said, whenever you are passing a signal that has a red lamp on, you need to hold Override when passing the magnet, until "Order 40" indicator lights up on the dashboard.

    This goes for:
    • Zs 1: single flashing white light, or three steady white lights in △ shape, meaning "the route ahead is secured, but route lock could not be established" (and its flashing variant Zs 8 for departing to left track)
    • Zs 7: three steady yellow lights in ▽ shape, meaning "the route ahead is not secured"
    • Sh 1: two steady white lights in ╱ shape, meaning "proceed according to shunting rules at 25 km/h"
