    evening all, i’ve been spending some time on liberec stara paka for the first time, and it’s a great route but i’ve found it impossible to drive from stara paka to liberec. there is no option to acknowledge the train consist when heading towards liberec, and i get an emergency brake every time i leave the station even though the brake pipes are charged and all the handles are in the right positions. i haven’t had any of these issues going the other way, it’s been smooth sailing out of liberec so i can only assume i’m doing something wrong?

    I see a notification on the monitor indicating no air pressure in the main brake pipe. That is why the brakes are engaged.

    I really like this route but I find the passenger train complicated to drive.

    i’m always able to release the brakes and get moving though which is what’s mainly confusing me

    In the second picture I see that the brake lock indicator light is on. The brakes are off.

    i’m still having the same issue unfortunately. i’ve also noticed that the vigilance doesn’t beep when i press the reset button, and the train consist still isn’t showing on the screen

    It's hard to read, but there are two cars. Do you have the VZ (train security system) turned on? The blue light on the repeater signal should be flashing on and off.

    Not selecting a consist in the display throws an error message, but it doesn't really have any impact on whether the train can be driven or not.

    On the first screen you have an error about insufficient pressure in main pipe, so check that compressor is running and there is no reason for the pipe to be empty (no emergency braking, safety system intervention,..). Perhaps check also the fuse cabinet if everything is up there.

    On the second picture you have brake cut off indicator on (Z), you have to cut the brakes in, otherwise the main controller lever cannot release them.

    Perhaps run the tutorials, this is an expert level DLC and especially with 843 you'll have hard time figuring out everything by intuition only.

    i’ve run the tutorials multiple times, as i said it all works fine when leaving liberec, it’s when i drive from stara paka that things go wrong
