PC Tsw2 Peninsula Corridor: Gp38-2 Tutorial Is Bugged And There's An Issue With The Hud

The tutorial for the GP38-2 (Peninsula Corridor Preserved Collection) is bugged, once you get the "wait for the brakes to charge" step it just hangs there infinitely, and it locks you out of controlling anything. I did find a workaround though; restart and wait for the tutorial to asks you to turn on the engine room light, for whatever reason at this point you have total control over everything, so you can just ignore that instruction and run through the start-up procedure using the pause menu's "Schedule" as a guide. Stop just before you need to apply throttle, and then flip the engine room light switch and continue to follow the tutorial like normal, it should just skip over most things, and you don't need to wait for the brakes to charge anymore. Still, took me absolutely ages to figure all that out!

Second issue is with the HUD, it's a minor issue but it is a little confusing/distracting. The throttle indicator on the HUD remains outlined in red even when all brakes are released and the train is responding to the throttle. It should turn white once the train is ready to move. Again a minor issue, but kind of annoying.

 

Indeed, that's true for all locos on the Peninsula Corridor. We will have to wait until the preservation team has set its focus for this route.
