Low Air Pressure help

[joey22fan22]

My truck is saying Low air pressure and wait with engine on till pressure goes up but I've been waiting for about 30min now. What should I do to make it go up?

[cos-buster]

This means you have activated the air brake simulation. It basically means that every time you use your brakes, pressure drops and when it's low enough the truck won't move. In order to recover, put it in neutral and raise your revs. After a few seconds you'll notice the gauge climbing above red and you'll be good to go.

Or just turn the setting off in the options.

Oh sweet thanks! I always just sit there with engine on lol that helps alot appreciate it!

What are revs, and how do I raise them?

Engine speed (the tachometer's the big gauge on the left). Pressing the gas usually does that.

Sometimes it does that, sometimes it doesn't, it's unpredictable ... Haha xD

[Baloo Uriza]

It's not unpredictable, it's exactly as predictable as the prototype. The compressor's effectiveness isn't effected by engine speed. Revving the engine will burn more fuel, but it won't charge the tank any faster. Set the parking brake whenever you need to recharge and just use sme patience. Using the engine brake and additional stopping distance is what you want in most cases (particularly outside cities, esp. if you're playing an American rig)

reving the engine will help with getting the air tanks fill quicker. atleast in european trucks

[ArcticBliss]

There more worn your truck gets, the more air it'll lose while resting or on a long ferry trip.
A truck with ~0% "damage" will hardly lose any air.

[Finarfin]

How do you rev your engine to refill your air pressure if you have an automatic transmission?

[Uzi [OTG]]

Put it in neutral? Or didn't they sim that right? I dunno I'm asking cause I use a wheel and shift manually , well sorta, not using a clutch so it is cheesy manual.

[Finarfin]

I don't see any way to put the truck into neutral. It looks like it's always in at least 1st gear.

[artimrj]

Keep down shifting, neutral is right before reverse.

[SchroeNeeko-UK]

to get neutral with an autobox in this game you need to change the shift system to real automatic otherwise just turn airbreak simulation off.
