You need to activate the passivd drive switch (located in the same cabinet as the battery switch) and then activate the battery. Release any handbrake, direct brake and indirect brakes.

Tou can use the developer menu to test out the weather effects and then use the developer menu to copy the code for the weather. It will also cope the code for the date/time, simply get rid of that part afther pasting in the scenario mission.lua.

Are those not the out of service tracks?

You can change the weather during the scenario when making an lua scenario.

I would like this, although with an option to toggele it on or off.

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1153824266103937 I am glad, I am not a Polish driver, so I am not supposed to know out of my head, what to do for every different problem that will show up. Especially when stuff does not happens at all and then when you have forgotten it finally happens.

Their are often handout available with start-up/shutdown/prepare for towing/earthing procedures and such for drives who are unfamiliar with the rolling stock. A 'manual' or instructions now what to do are also provided for dealing with malfunctions. In what form these are provided differs greatly from the knowledge level expected from the personnel. For the company I work for, a list of the necessary steps for starting/shutdown is provided in a simple .pdf in the website that runs the rulebook and such and they are also handed out during training in paper from (if you are smart, you keep these in your backpack). Handout for unusual combinations of locomotives is also provided. For the malfunctions on the older diesel loco, step by step flowcharts are found in paper inside the loco journal (this map also contains the daily check checklist, malfunction forms (so the next guy and the mechanics know about previous problems), large placecards in yellow and red for safety critical malfunctions (they are placed when needed on the steering table so even the morons who don't bother to read the malfunctions forms are aware of the problem), RID instructions and a copy of the daily check procedure and the step by step flowchart for dealing with the malfunctions. For our modern electric locomotives, malfunction instructions are included within one of the DMI screens. For the NS (big passenger carrier here), even more extensive documentation is present then on our diesels, and it contains almost everything you could need to know. They also have detailed instructional videos. Not that the drivers are allowed to solve any problems without calling the hotline who is supposed to explain what to do (the NS management insists to make everything idiot proof, and if you know what to do or are capable to follow simple instructions/flowcharts, as any driver should be able to in my opinion, to bad for you, stop using your brain immediately and call the hotline). Conclusion: providing instructions on the loco is completely normal here at the company's where the driver is supposed to know about the stuff he is doing. At the company where they prefer to keep their drivers stupid, they have a hotline which you must call instead of having a basic knowledge and using your brain; yet they still have all the instructions onboard and instructional video's.

I had no problems at all when starting the ET25 in the Krakow cargo scenario.. Make sure to follow these steps: 1 activate cabin; 2 enter driver id; 3 select level, probably SHP; 4 Main screen will show up. Start is greyed out, this is normal because the start of mission is not completed yet; 5 Select Train Data; 6 Choose 1xE6ACT for single loco ET25, or choose enter data in the bottom right corner for a train; 7 Fill in train category, length, brake percentage and max speed; 8 When the data are accepted, you will be prompted to fill in the train running number, fill this in; 9 Main menu will show up now. Start should be available. Contact the dispatcher now. 10 After reporting ready to depart and receiving the permission to do so, select the start option in the main menu, completing the start of mission. 11 Acknowledge the offered mode, this is a yellow flashing symbol, probably the diamond symbol for SHP; 12 You will see, that the mode has changed from stand by to the new mode. Only now you can mode the train/loco.

You shoukd select the sph level on non ertms lines and always enter the driver id and train data, no matter the level you will use. If you do not ener thevdriver id, train number, and train data, you con not complete the start of mission! Ths start of mission is requirt for all levels, including sph.

Did tou enter the train data (train lengt, rake setting/percentage and such?

You will have to enter something. If you do not enet something, you will not he avle to complete the SOM (start of mission). And thus, you will remain in stand by mode (with the stand by symbol). If you enter something (real loco's here can even accept 0 for driver id and train number), you can complete the SOM. Afther completing the SOM, you can choise the start option in het main menu and you will be offered a different mode (for ertms level 1 is will be SR (staff responsible, an eye with an cross trough it), for level 2 probaly SR, sometimes OS (on sight, an eye symbol looking out on the track, can only happen if the etcs knows the position and driving direction, has connection to the radio block center and the dispatcher has cleared the signal). For level sph, you will be offered sph/national train protection mode, with an dimond symbol. If you remain in stand by mode, the roll away protection remains in place, and if you move more than a certain distance (as set in the national value for this, I don't know the Polish one, in The Netherlands it is 5 m) a service brake application will be enforced by the etcs. This us normal. You most perform the start of mission fully begore starting to drive, otherwise you won't get anywhere. Is the etcs is is not working, remember you can disable the etcs/evc (European vital computer). In the dragon loco (et25) and pendolino (ed250) theire is a switch on the backpanel allowing for this. You can also disable etcs/ertms in the game settings. Then the train will spawn in IS (isolation) mode, allowing you to do whatever you want because the whole system is disabled while you can still give power/drive.

The current singleplayer 'paper' schedule is a number of png files stored in the scenario folders. I don't know how it works for multiplayer. The current ET22 singleplayer heavy cargo scenario does already containe some instructions on how to performe cab changes.

When you have a cargo train coming from DGW on tracks 3a or 4a (the electrified sidings, not the main line tracks), the train route coming from the entry signals K and J will stay in place instead of releasing when the train is behind the signals H3 and H4. Their is no track occupation on the tracks behind the H3 or H4 signals. I experienced this with train 424070 and 424068 while playing on server int4, date 20-01-2025. Images of the situation are attached. SimRail_log_2025-01-20_10-19-06.txt

If you spawn a Ty2 steam locomotive in an self made LUA scenario, it won't turn on its headlights (no matter its a moving train or shunting move).
