Virgin 390 alarm

[Swissdave]

I kept getting the alarm which bring the speed down to halt. I have press the Q key every min or bit less but still get stopped by the time i went between stafford/rugeley then stopped again when passed Rugeley Any idea why?

Have you read the manual? This train is part of the pro range and so will be a bit more complex than normal.

[Swissdave]

Yes i have read the manual but no luck ughh

You are pressing the Q key immediately after the buzzer+3 seconds? Your post suggests you are pressing it at intervals of your choice, so I thought I'd better ask.

[Swissdave]

No buzzer at all

Sorry am I reading something wrong here?

Please expand your info so we don't have to guess...

What im saying is that the train went for emergency stop even though i have press the Q key. I dont know if there is different type of alarm that i need to press on different key

[skitz59]

i guessing the op is on about the DVD (Driver Vigilance Device) or the DSD (Driver Safety Device) but again if you don't press the Q button in time you then the Emargency Brake will come on

In that case the OP will find it in the manual. I have just checked.

You may neeed to press the "Y" key (DRA)

I haven't timed it, but I get the impression that the 390 gives you less time to react to DSD than other trains, so much so that I now disable it ( Ctrl- D)

Dave, this is a complex train. It has many alarms and features that the real 390s have. I reccomend you have a thorough read of the manual, watch others drive it on YT and maybe try and set it up in the most simple way possible for your first few runs until you get a feel for the train. (E.G turn off DRA or DSD as described in posts above.)

According to manual the dsd is supposed to be every 1 min 45 secs, it could also be the TASS setting off alarms then ending with an e-brake. I guess the TASS is only on compatible routes.

If you go over speed limit by certain mph then you will get a warning that can't be cancelled, you need to bring speed down, few more mph over limit and you will get e-brake.

Then you have the brakeing curve, it's based on approximately brake notch 4, leave braking too late for a slower speed limit and you will get an alarm plus flashing warning light, so you would need to use brake notch 5 or 6, ignore it and then I think you get a solid warning light with no alarm, the e-brake will then come on. Best to read the TASS section in manual.
