    I lost power, the game suggested changing the country on Vectron. Power Mode. I lowered the pantograph, changed the country and raised it again, closed. Nothing happened. I did this to half the countries on the screen! The power did not appear. Why is there no prompt for exactly which country I am in? I mean the new German route.

    Not even a tutorial on how to change power mode, help please. I've been to Lindau.

    Have you selected the right voltage ? I mean GER 15Kv and not GER 25Kv.

    It sounds like you passed a neutral section. If it was the neutral section on the Germany-Austria border you should (if you want to do it realistically) lower the pantograph and change the country to whichever country you entered (note, the voltage has to remain 15 kV). Then raise the pantograph and close the main circuit breaker.

    However, if you simply passed a neutral section that didn't include a change of country, simply close the MCB after the line voltage has reappeared on the TDD (left screen) and this indication upload_2023-9-23_4-11-0.png

    changes to this

    Thank you
     
  5. To go through a neutral section you just put power to OFF?

    ie throttle

    You should open the MCB before passing the middle sign[​IMG]
    and then close it after passing the third/right-most sign or when the MCB is no longer blocked from closing (see my post above), whichever is latest.

    Smiley: Open MCB
    Horseshoe: Close MCB
    :D
