How can a train that goes 125mph do that when the AWS starts already on and i can't find the off switch.As soon as i hit 70mph it lights out and my train goes straight down to 0mph requiring a full reset of the system(meaning a button pushed that located on the far left of the main button line up next to the side window. Note:I remember there was a time where you could go past 70mph and not get shutdown.I not sure if 70mph is the only speed this can happen at.I started at potash on cane creek and i have never had other trains shutdown for speed issues on this route.
The AWS isolation on the GWE HST is one of the knobs in front of the second man's seat on the dash panel. It should be off as default though, or at least is for me. Also in real life we had to have it on without an option and I never had any trouble getting to 125mph. It isn't a complicated safety system at all.
Note:I tried those buttons. The button slightly to the left of it will turn off your hud(i think it called isolated something) The button next to the window did turn the aws light off but a alarm went off and i could turn it off until i turned the AWS switch back on.
Have you tried it with both isolated, what sort of sound it the alarm similar too? Also do you have any screenshots just to help visualise your words?
Theres a DSD isolation switch. near the AWS Isolation switch.(This cause a sound similar to a emergency alert sound you hear in a weather warning system.) Then if you hit the B button it resets the flower thing and if the AWS light has gone out from turning one of these switches i was able to get past 70mph without getting shutdown.I have know idea what happend to get this to work this time.All this headache just to turn of a warning system.
AWS doesn’t restrict speed, the only time it has any effect on the train is A) when you turn it on yourself & B) when you fail to acknowledge it. There are no safety systems in the game that default to on, except DRA. DRA would only traction lock you if you set it yourself - which you shouldn’t be doing whilst under power. You absolutely must of turned something on yourself, so the first solution is to not play with buttons you don’t understand, as it makes it impossible for anyone to resolve the issue. Even TPWS does not explain the issue you’ve had, furthermore both TPWS & AWS would not intervene at all on non UK routes, as the track infrastructure does not exist for them to be triggered. This leaves the other system which would be causing a traction lock - DSD, which would only happen if you don’t acknowledge the alarm.
Apart from needing to press TPWS Override in very rare cases, all the other British safety systems (at least so far in TSW) can be summed up as, it makes a noise you press ‘acknowledge’ on whatever button of the console/pc you are on (B for Xbox) apart from that the only other thing to understand is why it made the noise/alarm.
The only thing on a UK loco/train that doesn't make any noise is the TPWS when you've hit an OSS grid (overspeed sensor when approaching a restriction or red light) and it slams on the brakes. You can't override that if you trigger the grid and in GWE there was an OSS grid just outside reading station that was catching everyone out. DTG eventually just disabled said grid.
AWS is perhaps the simplest safety system in the game. Wait until you learn PZB before complaining about AWS!
Sifa or equivalent I would say is, as it’s essentially meaningless. whereas AWS is actually related to what to do with the train in terms of slowing and stopping.
