antelope valley line fail

[Lemon Head]

train can start after a small switching of nobs and stuff (Fine) np... Im on my way.
I get to the first stop ( Stop inside the green where it asks me to stop) Np

i open and shut doors YAY.. DONE...

I unbreak the breaks and it all looks good go.
I press the power button to 1 nothing, its askng to go about 75mph i cant even get that far.
I ram up my power to 4 nothing.
I go all the way to 8 no go.
I have a white number A White box, Not sure what a red one means appart from a bug and maybe the doors might still be open..

But im stuck in that mission ( very first one btw. Help ?

I did not play the route a lot, but:

Did you check if the brakes are actually released? (BC=0) This may take some time
If you try to apply power, does the hud show you have any power?

You may thry the pase screen, press the I am stuck button there. It will reset the drving state of the engine.

You also may have hit the reverser unintentionally, so it is no longer forward.

It will not hurt you to check if all doors are closed. Normally this should not be an issue.

[Lemon Head]

yea checked doors all closed
forward and reverse breaked all 100% back to 0 so i know i was good and released
I pressed i am stuck, Nothing...
The mission states that something might happen to the train but i failed to notice what that was.

I might try the reverser on track but i dont know if i have power or not i have changed nothing from the time i arrived at the station opened doors and closed them and i was trying to go forward again but nothing.

On the track thou in the top part of the screen the right part it shows a blue line is that something i need to know about ?

Is it a timetable scenario <- there are several Locos to choose from -> AC4400CW UP, BNSF ES44C4, BNSF SD70ACe, EMD F125 Metrolink, F7 CJP, Rotem Bi-Level Cab Car Metrolink
A scenario and the first one is Con Fare
A Bit more info would be helpful.

Con Fare only has One Stop and that is at the end of the scenario, When you start at 2100, you load passengers and stop at 2201

all to markers except for the last one are "Via Location" not stops, didnt have a problem until at the top of the pass and the AutoTrain protection shut the system down and wouldnt reset... "sabotage" I think?. I had to shut the whole train down, Engines off completely and restart from cold, then it allowed the ATP to reset and power back to the wheels...

On the Con Fare scenario? I just did it again, all went smoothly, I even put into an emergency stop and recovered with no issues.

I guess you're refering to the 2nd mission (impossible mission), where another train stopped on track due to a malfunction, which might also happen to you.

As for the stop, did you by any chance push the brake lever all the way into the emergency brake position? Because if that is the case, then the emergency brake system will stay enabled (shown by the yellow circle in the bottom right corner) and in that state, the train can't accelerate, until you leave the emergency position with the brake lever and switch the automatic brakes off.

[Lemon Head]

so i have no power,
i am playing on "impossible mission" route trying to play though those different routes yea ?

[GenX-Gamore]

I played through the "impossible mission" Other than speeding a bit here and there I ran into zero issues. For the most part, in this scenario, the train is set up for you. I'm not sure what you are running into that you can complete it.
could it be that you are not changing some of the settings when changing from the cab car to the loco? You need to disable the cab car.

[Lemon Head]

when do you disable it ? i got to the first stop no problems which means all i needed to do is open and shut the doors and press forward ?

i did that nothing ?
i could be that theres a bug and the doors do not close on my train and not allow it to move.
But i get nothing but a red box doesnt tell me alot even if i got a white box which is meant to be good.

And pressed forward i still got nothing after stopping.

Silly thing about this game as well if you miss a stop you have to progress forward to the next stop weather you have picked up passengers or not. YAY...
