I think you released it when it was not safe to release

#

There are some great guides made by members of the community, ask around in #tsw-german-dlc ?

Ignore that it's for TSW3, it's the same in all games

Hmm that’s strange. You were below 25kmh the whole time so you can’t have been braked by restrictive monitoring (and the indicators did not show that anyway). You did acknowledge the signal, a bit late but it’s still registered as you acknowledging it. It also braked you after you passed the magnet as if you exceeded the monitoring speed which is just not true. Might be a bug. Never had this happen to me here on this route

Did you just escape from the flashing 75 85? You are only allowed to escape if you are not expected to be monitored for the next 550 meters, even if you stay under 40 km/h. If you escape anyway, you will be forced to stop

The reason why emergency brakes applied is because you did not acknowledge PZB 1000Hz magnet in time.
You might be asking, why, I pressed the PZB acknowledge??????
Pushing the lever does not fully acknowledge PZB 1kHz magnet, you need to also let go of it in time.
PZB safety system gives you exactly 3 seconds on the dot to push the PZB acknowledge lever and let go.

#

Same rule applies in all of German trains and locos.

#

My biggest piece of advice for You, is to push the PZB acknowledge lever right before the signal, before you drive over the 1000 Hz magnet, this gives you time to let go after one second of pushing it, fully acknowledging it

You can see what I mean in this video, it should start at 52 minutes and 10 seconds, PZB gets fully acknowledged once this train driver lets go.

#

I may be also severely wrong about this so correct me if so thank you

its very easy once you understand it

#

you cannot release PZB when there is a danger signal, or the yellow aspect showing you that the next signal red

#

when the red PZB light comes on it means you need to stay under 25 cuz youre very close to a red signal

#

when you press wachsam and you go over 85, there is a certain distance till you’re emergency braked

#

so slow down

#

I know how to use it

#

But what do you think is hardest

muted bronze
#

oh

#

hmmm

#

there is really no hardest safety system in TSW

#

in real life for me it would be japanese ATS/ATC systems

#

but only some

somber mesa
#

So doesn’t that mean pzb is hardest in tsw?

#
