Elgard Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Today I was driving an EC service and made a routine stop at a station, however when I went to depart and put my service brake back into the running position, the brake hose refused to drop below 15%. I tried various positions of the brake lever, including fill, disabled, as well as putting it back into initial and attempting to release again. I also tried the brake releaser button. Nothing worked. I was able to apply power, however the brake pressure was sufficient to prevent me from moving. I have found similar topics regarding brake release but not this issue exactly, so I'm trying to figure out if I did something wrong or if it was some kind of bug.

Deadlost Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 If I get a situation I can’t recover from, I activate the bot for a few seconds and let AI sort my mess out😅 Did you have compressor running, maybe unable to raise the pressure in the brakesystem?

DazT Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Without seeing a picture of the brakes gauges it's impossible to say, but sounds like the compressor had tripped out at some point and there wasn't enough pressure in the main res tanks to recharge the brakes to their off position (4.5 bar) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekto Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I'm voting for the compressor as well. I had something similar happen when I once again was trying to type to chat, but instead I was still on the interface and pushed god knows what buttons. Brake pressure staid on 6%. I tried turning it off and on, but only when I clicked the reset button, then it started working. Also a light went off from the dash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazT Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Quote when I once again was trying to type to chat, but instead I was still on the interface and pushed god knows what buttons. We've all done it, normally for me it's the main breaker switch! Whoever thought having a transparent chat box was a good idea that you can operate stuff behind/through needs a talking to! I still think that chat box needs moving (or allow us to move it!) to the top left out of the way. If anything it's the only reason why I dug out an old mic for use in the game for when I'm driving, so I'm not hitting buttons I shouldn't be, but also so that I can acknowledge the SHP/CA alerts without the brakes kicking in and it then nicely docks me 50 points!

Elgard Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 Thanks for the responses guys, I too now am thinking I must've accidentally turned off the compressor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz292 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 i can't wait for the SDK to be released that will allow people to write things to connect to the sim. I'd love to see a SimRail chat app on my phone, i.e. the chat box moved off the main screen and on my phone, with the phone's keyboard under it for typing on etc, so just like sending or receiving a 'real life' text message you can receive and send SimRail text messages... in a more realistic manner i think (your phone when running SimRail text app would be classed as a company communications device, so is allowed whilst driving 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHKtruc Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Got a similar issue, but with power. After speeding the loc turns itself off and I couldn't find how to turn it on. Sometimes I activate the bot and the issue solves itself, sometimes not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHKtruc Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 The overcurrent button does nothing, the light is already off and I cannot get traction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
