Best thing is: you search the WWW. and the forum here. I'm sure you will get your infos,

[Skywalker]

Thanks! ..i will search for it

Do these abbreviations matter? :P I don't know what they mean, and I can drive these engines just fine. "VB" seems to be the full brake, one notch higher and you're in Emergency brake. :)

Full brake and emergency brake and other are less then full brake as it seems
Note: i tried to drive train at nightsight, but could not see the traintrack in front of me (raining too, but probably it does't matter)
How do you handle with this ?

I can't help you with the new BR101, but I'm having no troubles driving the BR155.

I know Matt Peddlesden drove one of my scenarios with the BR155 as passenger stopping service. Perhaps seeing someone drive it would help? https://youtu.be/0fPyowcBKQ4

Thanks!, i tried a DB BR 189 loc wth a nightscenario, but no sight when it was raining : i use the wipers and lights
( i know from the practice, because my brother is driving these trains to/in Gemany, that there is a better nightsight than in the simulator, so i try to improve the nightsight, bu how to get the best night sight?
I was as passenger in the frontcab of the BR 189 on the longest freighttrains possible ( 500 m length): the real practice! )
I will look at the scenario BR155 on youtube

Maybe setting the brightness a little higher? ;)

[Purno]

What exactly do you need night sight for? By the time your lights have lit up anything on the tracks, it's too late to brake, and you can't maneuver around it. :)

On German trains, are you sure you're using all three headlights?

[Skywalker]

No idea what are the deault lighting on the german trains for night riding is and what headlights are on the trains.
