Hi, if i play any S3 service (Mammendorf - Munich) in HMA with PZB system (and SIFA and LZB) i notice that over the first km from Mammendorf i am imposed to go not over 45 km/h (following PZB system) but if i get off the speed limit is set on 80 km/h. But the game is based on 80 km/h and so it doesn't consider PZB system and i am always late of one minute when i approach at Malching (instead when i arrive at Munich Hackerbruke i am late of two minutes). So the game seems not to consider security system, although in real life them are employed. What do you think about this ?
If the signal ahead is showing a clear aspect (normally is when starting a service), then why don't you use PZB release to get out of restrictive mode? Then you can get up to line speed right away. If not a clear signal you'll just have to play by the PZB rules and adhere to those restrictions. You can make up some time by closing the doors a little early as there is a few seconds delay before they are closed. You may make up the time a bit later.
In real life, adverse signals can make trains late. It happens. Rail networks can get traffic congestion too. (Cheer up- Amtrak doesn't consider a rain "late" unless it's half an hour behind schedule.)
As L89 said, when you have a clear (green) signal ahead, you are allowed to press the "PZB free" button, which should remove the 45 kmh restriction!
Thank you everybody. I didn't know this function. I thought it was used only to go out from LBZ and when the red light get in. Thank you
