Main-Spessart-Bahn Issues

[Skoddin]

The Introduction to the BR146.2 seems completely broken - in the first try the brakes didn't work anymore after departure, in the second try the sound shut off completely after applying power for the first time, then the power shut off also and the train coasted slowly down the grade with the brakes not working again ;-)
Please fix!

Third try - applied the train brake before releasing the hand brake and increasing throttle. Result: cannot release the train brake anymore :)
Giving up for now...

Some interactions are locked in the introduction and you can only use highlighted Buttons.
Just follow step by step and don't touch the brakes or anything else during the Tutorials and it will work ;)

Fourth try - i even let the narrator finish his sentences ;-) Didn't work though. Once I apply power, all brake systems are out of order.
There were similar issues with almost all of the tutorials on Main-Spessart-Bahn and Ruhr-Sieg Nord. Some could be solved by simply starting over or increasing throttle to 100%.
Nonetheless it looks somewhat broken and not tested at all.

Try to enter the BR146.2 before you check the first marker outside the loco.
Activate Battery, sometimes you need to do this 2-3 times and then prepare the 146.2.
The Pantograph is a bit tricky too, be sure the pantograph is raised and the display shows power with the small blue square. Last step, get the marker in front of the loco and follow the remaining steps. Weird workaround i know.. but works ;)

So I tried the BR 146.2 tutorial quite a few times (10ish) and there is definitivily some issues with the pantograph. In most of my tries I had to raise the phantograph and close the Main Circuit Breaker a second time when loading passengers on the first platform.

And in one of my tries the tutorial stopped updating after the initial application of force (basically leaving my train with only throttle and no brakes). I'm pretty sure I encountered this bug in the original TSW aswell.

I was unable to replicate the problems that the OP had, as long as I got the train moving and got to the part where the train is coasting the brakes worked fine. Though the braking force did not show on the main display only on the gauges.

It's Dovetail. You better forget all tracks from the preserved collections, since a lot of triggers don't work.

I just started the first scenario of the Main-Spessart Bahn. Entering the train, pressing the battery switch for 5 seconds as I'm told to do, light for battery power goes on ...nothing. The game still wants me to press the battery switch for 5 seconds. Restarted two times, it's always the same problem.

I wish someone competent would do a train simulator or at least someone who is testing the game for 5 minutes before they release it.

I had no issues. Maybe the problem is sometimes in front oi the monitor.

I had no major issues with the first (and second) scenario there.
You might want to try to keep the button pressed a bit longer to see if the objective changes.

I got it to work. It only took switching the battery on and off for five or six times.

Pretty sure it was just me, too silly to press the left mouse button. :rolleyes:
