Broken speed gauge and heaters in "neutral zone"

[3ncoder]

Sometimes it is needed to turn off power because of the overhead wired and everytime when threre is a "neutral zone" all my heaters and speed gauges get damaged even with power turned off!
Please fix this

Make sure to lower both pantograph I and II (you should hear a clunk when they settle down). Don't touch "Power supply to pantographs"; if you flick this switch too soon, one of pantos may remain raised and cause a spark show.

This is not a bug, this is the correct mechanics of the game. Look yourself. When you turn off only the "power" look at the roof and see that the pantographs are still up. The correct thing to do is this (on a real railway they do this): set the driver’s controller knob to the 0 position, turn off the fans and compressor. They turn off the BV, turn off the KVC, then lower both pantographs (I and II), then turn off the “power supply to the pantographs” And drive until they pass the zone, then turn everything back on as taught at the beginning of the training.

I work as train driver for a few years and i know that isn't necessary to lower pantograps if it is on neutral section. Only thing that is need to do is to turn of main switch. but also we can say that this can depend on voltage system. (AC/DC)

Yes, but in the game if you turn off the main toggle switch (power) they will remain up. Therefore, it is necessary to lower the 1st and 2nd pantographs in the game. I am also a railway worker, albeit a former one.

But in neutral section you don't have to lower pantographs, Just turn off main switch, cause section dividers are in this sections built to drive with pantographs up. They just cannot been driven under the load. (train heating off, main switch off...)

Are you talking about the mechanics in the game itself, or in reality? If we talk about reality, then I will repeat again, in the game the operation of a locomotive is not quite the same as in reality. You say that you don’t need to lower it, but if I don’t lower it, the electrics will fail. I won't even try to keep them down.
