EU7 tutorial question
Hi, in one of the first steps in the EU7 tutorial, you need to turn on the radio and select the desired channel. The radio is turned on, but I tried all channels and nothing works. Which channel should I use? Did I miss antthing? The radio is turned on, but the indication for the instruction keeps lit.

You have to power the radio. There is box behind you at the rear wall.

Activate power - and switch radio splitter signal to 1.
Then go back to the radio next to you and turn it on.

Tutorials are not very good and learning curve is a thing. Good luck.

Thanks for your help. Sorry to hear it even now not working well. I like what the world and the trains look like. That is excellent but I think it is unplayable.

Retried and got the radio working, but turning the batterie on already caused me lots of trouble. The switch refused to move. The I had to do something with the brakes, keeping a button pushed. I did not notice any progress over a few minutes. This is so bad.

To move the battery switch, hold mouse button and move mouse.

It's not the first day of gameplay. This is what I expected I needed to do, but it just did not work. I finally used the middle button, then you get a round menu which allows to select train activation and the sets the switch. A bit later I ran into so many issues, that I gave up at least for the moment. I bought it some time ago and though it looks beautifull, it is onplayable.
I also have this problem I have turned ON radio power but is still doesn't work

There is another button at the back wall you need to push as well. Before you start feeling to happy, a few steps later I got completely stuck by the brakes not releasing/charging. This game really is worthless at the moment.

It seems the tutorial has been prepared earlier and after that they added additional power switch for the radio. They should have updated tutorial as well of course...

I haven't noticed any problem with brakes. Work well.

If you are stuck, watch movies on youtube.
I just did that whole tutorial to check your acusations of unplayability. Besides turning 2 more radio switches which were added after tutorial was made, everything works in it.

It may be just me, but I got completely stuck after say one hour trying to make it work. There is no game save to retry at another moment. I really like what this game looks like, but for me it is largely not playable. I do not accuse anoyone, but quite a few people have the same opinion on this.
