    I do press the received button, for at least 10 to 15 sec after the signal, and as many as possible before, and it does not seem to be enough, and I still get stopped :-(

    It may help to know that PZB is looking for you to release the button after passing the magnet. Therefore, you have two choices:

    1. Wait until you pass the magnet, then press the acknowledgement button, and release it after 1 second.
    2. Start pressing the button just before you pass the magnet, and release the button just after you pass the magnet.

    Either way works.

    I suspect your frantic button pressing is causing you to miss something else. Before acknowledging, it is advisable to remain calm, so that you can think more clearly.

    Do come back here with more queries, and I will happily answer them. I am quite enjoying this thread!

    Are you pressing the correct button?
    It should be PZB Wachsam (PgDn on your keyboard.) Not PZB Frei or PZB Befehl.

    I tried each PCB buttons separately, and also in combination, but the main button I always press is the PAGE DOWN
    It is not because I am speeding, as I am never exceeding the PCB maximum of 80, and most of the time I am below it

    Correct but if they're a console player you're going to encounter PZB Override situations think of Freiburg Sachs on DCZ Riesa-Dresden Yard moves where PZB override is needed. TSW 2020 owners and then migrated to TSW 4 Main Spessart Bahn. Use a Keyboard for the German/Austrian routes

    I don't see how override is a problem. I play on pc so I wouldn't know. is there no button for it on console? it's something not explained ingame though that's true

    You are pressing the correct button.

    Out of interest, what trains have you been driving?
