So I did both tutorials on Ruhr-Sieg Nord just fine. Now I try the first Scenario "Rise and Shine" and the train will not move. So evidently the tutorials didn't explain much of anything. I followed all the steps it instructs me to do, and big surprise...nothing happens. The batteries are started, pentagrah is raised, circuit is closed, brake switch is turned on, brakes are charged and released...including handbrake. So what am I doing wrong that the tutorial, once again, failed to mention?
I just tried it twice. The second time it got away fine. But the first time, when I applied power, even though the box was white it wouldn't go. Then I noticed the brake cylinder was still at 0.2 bar, and I had to hold down the brake overcharge button (next to the brake levers) until the brakes were fully released. Then it could get away fine. I think it was because I'd accidently put it in emergency brake during setup. Btw it wasn't a problem that I left the cab door open in the 143
I will see if the cylinder is sitting at 0.2 when I start the game up. That seems slightly familiar now that you mention it. Thanks for the insight with that. I'll report back if that was it or not.
