    Once the train is moving, D-Pad down arrow can safely be Sifa Ack.

    At this time, some trains mix Sifa Ack with PZB Ack but not all !

    Just leave PZB n the right and Sifa on the left as is Q on left and PgDn on right. Easy to remember.

    Many locos need minor updates for PS5 ... even the TSG BR 628 with no lamp illumining for parking brake, no keyboard binding for that brake ... it has no confused Sifa, but it is using Q key, not numpad Enter so again, a Left button and a Right button.

    So what if down arrow cannot flip down reverser while the train is moving ? So what if reverser down triggers a Sifa Ack ? No harm done.

    TSG ?

    An example: on PS5 controller the MRCE 185.5 driven on new Ludwigsbahn shows just this inconsistency depending upon Nahverkehr version or Rhein Ruhr Ost Wuppertal version ... the latter does not have the skittish speedometer when accelerating on a downgrade. It may have other differences.

    On a related challenge for users:
    How do new users learn to go to the 628 at the bottom of Niddertal entries to find the one for Ludwigsbahn timetable ? Could there be a pop-up dialog for each of those 4 identical lok on that list to reveal which timetables are available for which identical "variant" ?

    Even worse: see my note under discussions: The Fulda DB 193 is unresponsive if hauling freight on Rosenheim ... that is Tsw5 lok on Tsw4 map ... neither Sifa nor PZB respond to the PS5 controller.
    Try Sifa with PZB and no button or key ... and were is the Sifa touch point in that cab ?
