	Hi everyone. Lately I am experiencing frequent "Application not responding" events while playing the simulator. It happened 4 times this week. While running the simulator, suddenly it stucks like it is trying to load something, but never recovers and I am forced to close it via windows task manager. For now it seams to have happened mostly in singleplayer mode and near the Lodz area (only once in multiplayer as soon as Skierniewice loaded in dispatcher mode). Recently i bought the Lodz Junction + impus 2 bundle, not sure if it is something related. I would exclude hardware related issues because only simrail is having these kind of problems.
</p>

<p>
	Also I tried to run the steam file integrity check and it completed without errors.
</p>

<p>
	Has someone experienced the same issues? Not sure if I should report this as a bug...
</p>

	Reported this in the bug forum but it may be a few days before it appears so will mention here. Anyway. it appears the 15/08 update has wiped save game data, including my 11140 Railtour run on the new route which had just under an hour to go... <span><span class="ipsEmoji">😞</span></span>

	Hello, 
</p>

<p>
	I have been trying to do the cargo scenario from Kraków but have no idea how to set the two units correctly. They both draw power at least but when I am asked to hit the vigilance button, only the 1st unit clears it I think. Does anyone have a clue what to do about it?

	It would be nice to have vehicles and pedestrians at railroad crossings. As a dispatcher, whenever I look at the crossing cameras, it always feels way too quiet. And if future updates could let players actually play as a crossing attendant, that would be awesome.

Performance..</title><link>https://forum.simrail.eu/topic/11671-is-anyone-not-experiencing-video-stutters-performance/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>
	I'm curious if there are people who don't experience any video stutters, running Simrail.. If so please what kind of system and configuration are you using?
</p>

<p>
	I get quite bothered by random video jerks and stutters and have done EVERYTHING I can think of to identify, quantify, correlate and try to eliminate. To be fair this isn't the only game, but it doesn't happen in every game, or at least it's less noticable in others. 
</p>

<p>
	I have a Ryzen 9800X3D, with 7900XT GPU, 64GB low latency DRAM, and a NVME ssd. So it's a pretty good system. I'm running medium-high settings, with minimized LOD, 1/2 textures, and relatively high draw distances. I get from 40 to 120 FPS depending on area. Simrail is definitely CPU limited, and mostly single thread, as many games are. I gathered extensive PC metrics of Frametime generation data, as well as VRAM, CPU and GPU activities, and made graphs and used python scripting to compare all different settings. I can most definitely correlate every stutter to exactly the times when content is being moved into VRAM, so there is some I/O wait. I've optimized my VRAM timings and tuned and optimized CPU per core. I've played with different graphics settings in Simrail, and checked all background activities and driver latencies.. There is literally nothing that makes a change in this and is independent of FPS. I assume it's the game architecture and Unity, and just can't be helped, unless devs optimize better.
</p>

<p>
	Is this happening to everyone? Do people just learn to deal with this?
</p>

	I am wondering how everyone drives on the regional services between Katowice and Zawiercie, and Warsawa and Skierniewice, and what is the most realistic. I've noticed that the timetable is incredibly strict, and when coupled with station gaps of about three kilometres it is very easy to accumulate one or two minute delays.<br />
	<br />
	With the EN76 I have adopted an 'S Bahn' driving style, where I get the train moving with around 20% throttle and then kick it to 100%, and vice-versa when stopping (when travelling 120 km/h I start bringing on the brakes at around 650 m from the platform end, and at 160 km/h about 1 km away) since the train mostly uses regenerative braking so wear should not be too big of an issue.<br />
	<br />
	For the Kibels, I drive a bit more cautiously, using a maximum of 70% braking force since they only use friction brakes. With with these trains I don't think it's actually possible to always be on schedule no matter what you do since it takes so long to get up to speed.
</p>

	Maybe it's me who is blind, but I can't find a switch to turn on the lights in the passenger cabin on the EN76. Even in the controls I programmed F11 to turn them on, however the cabin remains dark and I can't hear a noise of something switching. So how do I turn those lights on?

</p>

<p>
	I've tested this in many game sessions, and it's very difficult to accelerate this locomotive again after braking. I'm most likely making mistakes, and I would appreciate your help with this.
</p>

<p>
	In single-player scenarios, I find it very difficult to regain speed after braking (using the 3 and 9 keys on the numeric keypad progressively), although I eventually manage it and am moving again after a short time, for example, after stopping at a red light.
</p>

<p>
	The problem arises in multiplayer scenarios: When I take control of the train, the speed gradually decreases, and it becomes impossible to accelerate until the locomotive comes to a complete stop. I start releasing the brake (key 9 on the numeric keypad), and this takes so long that the bot considers me an inactive player and eventually takes control. I wait a few minutes, take control of the train again, and the same thing happens: The locomotive starts braking, stops, I can't release the pressure from the brake line, and finally the bot takes control of the train again. Frustrating.
</p>

<p>
	Any ideas? Thanks for your time.<a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="//s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/forum.simrail.eu/monthly_2026_04/CD163enMultiplayer.jpg.020efb0346a5279dff39573165fb7538.jpg" data-fileid="24227" data-fileext="jpg" rel=""><img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="24227" data-ratio="56.00" width="1000" alt="CD163enMultiplayer.thumb.jpg.211f8216e3b57711f16d7b8d8ee2427b.jpg" data-src="//s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/forum.simrail.eu/monthly_2026_04/CD163enMultiplayer.thumb.jpg.211f8216e3b57711f16d7b8d8ee2427b.jpg" src="https://forum.simrail.eu/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></a>

	In the middle of the ED250 control panel, below the ETCS display and just right of the "control circuits" switch, there is a group of 4 buttons. The function of one of these, "forbid electrodynamic braking", is rather obvious, and it does what its name suggests. I have little idea of what the other three do.
</p>

<p>
	<img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="24145" data-ratio="107.64" width="419" alt="Screenshot2026-04-16075146.jpg.cb56e63e2f4d3941c350aa6178bc8262.jpg" data-src="//s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/forum.simrail.eu/monthly_2026_04/Screenshot2026-04-16075146.jpg.cb56e63e2f4d3941c350aa6178bc8262.jpg" src="https://forum.simrail.eu/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />
</p>

<p>
	These other three buttons are named "neutral section", "booster", and "parking". Pressing any of them them while the train is moving appears to have no effect.
</p>

<p>
	I would expect the "neutral section" button to inhibit traction power, but it appears to be entirely possible to apply power, and even to start the train from a stop, while it is in the pressed position.
</p>

<p>
	My best guess regarding the "parking" button would have been that it would control some kind of parking brake, but I know that the parking brake is controlled by the "spring brake" switch toward the right side of the cab, and the "parking" button appears to be a momentary button instead of a toggle button.
</p>

<p>
	I have no idea at all what the "booster" button may do.
</p>

<p>
	What are the functions of these three buttons? Are any of these functions simulated in the game?
</p>

	Hello,
</p>

<p>
	I know this shouldn't happen when using the train brake properly, but when remaining in the "S" position for too long, the brakes of the wagons can't be released anymore without using the "S" position. I don't know of any locomotive in the game that allows the main pipe pressure to be that ridiculously high (7.7 bar) for a longer time. As you can see in my screenshots, the cylinder pressures go up to 2.1 bar every time the main pipe pressure is below 7.7 bar, and normal braking isn't possible anymore. The cylinder pressures also won't restore themselves just by waiting. Is there any way to reset this condition in a scenario?

	Díky spolupráci komunit došlo k vytvoření multijazyčného návodu pro všechny hráče, kteří buď s hrou začínají a nebo nevědí, jak zprovoznit lokomotivy/jednotky, které se v současné době ve hře SimRail nacházejí.
</p>

<p>

	I have a bug report pending in the other forum section but just advance warning to anyone playing the Lodz Junction scenarios where a loco run round is required. Don’t change the starting time when loading the run (e.g. two or three hours earlier) as after you complete the run round move at Lodz. Part 2 of the scenario reverts to the original times when the Timetable window returns. So in my case, I was sat in Lodz at 0840 with the train not due to leave until 1137. (IC 3720). As an aside, once you reach this location it is no longer possible to save the game (also logged in the pending bug report). <br />
	 
</p>

<p>
	Have to wonder if this was properly tested, what would happen with effectively two part scenarios using the start time modifier?

	Would SimRail benefit players if it also was capable of being a sandbox simulator?  I kind of thought that was what the editor would allow, but A you have to know LUA coding (which I am too stupid to do even after reading how to do it, and the instructions are in my view not written for non coders), B you are only creating scenarios, and C there is no way to just free drive the map.  Having the sandbox would allow a lot more practice in driving, exploring the beautiful world that was recreated, and coupling to consists.  Sorry to say it but the tutorials kind of suck.  Partly due to the age and some being broken. <br />
	<br />
	The tutorials don't go over signage/signals, and you are at the mercy of the tutorial (ETCS 1 and 2 are horrible.  A glitch in the game can fail you immediate, the overly detailed intro can never be skipped, and in my case the camera is all wonked up) and this is where a sandbox would be more useful in learning.<br />
	 
</p>

<p>
	Maybe the majority of you could not care less for a sandbox mode for the game (even with an ability to disable the arcade style XP/points), but for me I like to have that immersion.

	There are two brake-related buttons on the control panel of the Dragon 2 locomotive whose functions I do not understand.
</p>

<p>
	When the "brake releaser" button is pressed, it rapidly reduces the indicated brake cylinder pressure to 0, but only while it is pressed. When the button is released, brake cylinder pressure returns to approximately its original level. I had originally assumed that this button could accelerate the process of releasing the train's brakes. However, using this button while the brakes are releasing, after having charged the brake pipe to above 5 bar, does not appear to accelerate brake release in any useful way. It appears that there is a "true" level of brake cylinder pressure which can only decrease slowly. When the button is released, indicated brake cylinder pressure returns to that level. Under what circumstances, if any, does this button actually help to release the brakes?
</p>

<p>
	Toward the right side of the control panel, near the brake gauges, there is a "brake assimilation" button. Pressing it has no obvious effect. What does this button do, and under what circumstances is it used?
</p>

	To get to know the vehicle before playing multiplayer, I started the ‘vehicle test’ Żmigród scenario with the Impuls 2. However, I cannot figure out how to perform ETCS SOM to be able to drive – be it in level NTC, 1 or 2. The DMI boots in SB mode to a speed gauge and a prompt to enter driver number. I can enter some number here and press a button to proceed to entering my train number. However, on that screen, there is no button allowing me to confirm the number entered, only one to go back to the previous screen. I have tried pressing the separate ETCS acknowledgement button. This didn't do anything.
</p>

<p>
	And if I start driving anyway, ETCS automatically stops me saying I moved without authorisation (of course, since I'm still in SB mode).
</p>

<p>
	This happens no matter if I choose the scenario as ‘cold start’ or ‘ready to drive’ (though of course with cold start it only happens once I've switched on the battery and activated the cab).
</p>

<p>
	Is this a bug? Or have I missed some vital step?

	One thing I noticed early on in SimRail when I first played the demo was there is no way to apply handbrakes to consists during coupling.  What I mean is setting the handbrakes so that they do not move when trying to couple to them.  It's bad enough these trains all have bumpers that act like a spring board ricocheting the loco backward and shoving the consist forward.  This happens at 1 MPH.  The only handbrake we can even control is in the locos.<br />
	<br />
	In the US depending on the length of the consist one or more handbrakes are set to prevent movement in a yard.  Granted in the US our trains use knuckle couplers which instantly grab and temporarily hold until the locking pin is put in place.  This is accomplished by a 3 to 5 MPH "slam" into the car.  This is a big safety thing.<br />
	<br />
	You can waste so much time trying to connect to consists (and I have) because we can't lock consist handbrakes.  I know that in Derail Valley the same types of coupling system is used as in SimRail, but in that game you can turn the handbrakes to secure them.

	Can anyone recall or say what the procedure is for this? After the wife distracted me yesterday evening (!) I overshot a station while doing a steam hauled local service. After coming to a halt with a full brake application I reversed back into the platform then when station duties complete set the reverser to full forward, released the brakes but when I opened the regulator the valves simply filled to capacity and the train wouldn’t move. I opened the cylinder cocks and still unable to move. Finally operated the brake release handle but everything remained locked up.
</p>

<p>
	At that point the only option was to reload my saved game and try again. However, I’ve had this issue before on another run where, for some unexplained reason, the steam loco simply stops working and you can’t move.

	…from Warsaw to Katowice over the course of several evenings. The save game isn’t yet perfect but worked well enough to finally let me play a scenario through to conclusion. Looking forward to exploring more of the single player stuff and doing some substitutions, particularly with the steam loco.
</p>

<p>
	My only caveat is that running the three and a half hour scenario only gave something like 1300 XP. So for those into levelling up etc., running SP is not going to advance you very quickly.
</p>

<p>
	So thanks again to SimRail S.A. and SimKol for finally enabling those of us who don’t have the time to do a whole section in MP, the chance to see a whole run in SP.
</p>

<p>
	Now all SP needs is a TSW style all day timetable and the ability to play as signaller.

	I know that this SimRail is based on Polish railroading, but why would timetables need to be a thing for freight?  Based on what I've learned freight takes a backseat to commuter and high speed trains in this.  Timetables don't make sense in this case due to their low priority status.  Freight timetables will put drivers behind schedule because they have to always wait for the commuter or high speeds which costs points in the game.  They are far slower to get to speed (again causing delays and loss of points). <br />
	<br />
	In the real world freight can take hours to even depart from a yard (I know there is none of that in the game).  While freight does have to be delivered timely, it's far different than passenger.<br />
	<br />
	I also feel the point system makes the game more of an arcade (getting too close to TSW/TSC or Trainz sessions) vs. a true simulator.  This isn't a gripe, but rather an observation of simulation vs. the simcade.  I have heard there is a professional version of SimRail used to train really drivers, and I'm sure that doesn't have the arcade aspect.<br />
	<br />
	Granted if I knew how to build my own scenarios I would leave timetables out of freight runs.  To be blunt I am no coder, I know nothing about LUA (even reading the instruction breaks my brain), and patience lacks in my personality at my age.

	Hi,
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I´m creating av single player scenario where a bot train is driving from signal LB_R1 to LB_G2kps at the same time as the player train should move from LB_R3 to LB_H308.<br />
	One of the routes will obviousle not be set since these route are overlaping. But I´m not able to set the failing route even after a while when the bot train is gone and the route should be clear.
</p>

<p>
	It looks like some thing with the virtual dispatcher has been locked. When using the developer menu (F8) there is no route from signal LB_R3 after that the bot train has left.
</p>

<p>
	The log file for the actions above can be seen below. <br />
	I don't understand all of it, for instance what does "[SRK] Lazy - found route LB_R3 -&gt; LB_H308 Shunting in reservation - fixing" mean?
</p>

<p>
	Does anyone have a clue of what is going on with the Virtual Dispatcher? Why can't I set the route LB_R3 -&gt; LB_H308?
