Drive to the station, attach the passanger car (see FAQ for details), then switch to another SN61 cabin, wait a minute or two for green light and drive - that's all.

Hey Condor, U can take a look at ur train by modyfing the following file - "eu07.ini" that is located in the simulator's main directory(eu07-220703). At the line which starts with 'debugmode', change no to yes. Now u can fly free on the whole scenery!!

Enabling or disabling this option doesn't have impact on "flying" in the simulator. If you want to see how everything is going in the simulator, you should run it using the "view.bat" file. However, it is not possible to drive a loco in this mode.

I got to the 'other' station and coupled the passenger car,- moved to the other cabin and performed all usual preparations for departure.
There did not seem to be any signal for departure - the signal could not be clearly seen,- all brakes released, but the train simply "refused" to
start moving. The only activity seen at the station was a person walking to the end of the platform to the left of the train,- he returned (somehow I thought he was going to give the order/permission to depart, but did not do that.
Please, how do I get the train to start on the return-trip ?

First of all - there is new version 220204. Make sure you have this one. Secondly make sure that brakes are released - when you press F1 button there should be something like "Brake pressure - 0.00". Notice that SN61 with cars needs some more time to start moving than without them.

There did not seem to be any signal for departure - the signal could not be clearly seen,- all brakes released, but the train simply "refused" to start moving.

Approach the signal for about 10 meters or so. Wait for some minutes approx. 3-4. You should haven green and orange displayed.

The only activity seen at the station was a person walking to the end of the platform to the left of the train,- he returned (somehow I thought he was going to give the order/permission to depart, but did not do that. Please, how do I get the train to start on the return-trip ?

LOL :) That person walking is simply a Railway Guard member (SOK in Polish). He has nothing to do with giving permission for departure. It's just a characterisitc element of the backgound :)

Feel free to ask if you have any further problems. We will try to help you.

Hi,

In the SN61 activity, I don't manage to hook up the cars that I'm supposed to pick up!

I approached them as closely as seems possible, yet when I press 'INS' 2x nothing happens. I don't hear any sound of linking up, and when I drive away backwards, the cars stay behind.

Any hints? How do I know that I'm close enough to the cars?


thanks in advance,

The hint is: approach the cars and stop 1-2 meters away. Then go ahead slowly clicking constantly 'Ins'. When you "touch" the cars they will be joined with SN61 and you'll hear a sound (something like flushing a water-closet :) ). Now brake, turn off the engine, move to another cabin, turn the engine on, release brake, wait for the green light and brakes to be ready and go! Have fun! :))

Why are you telling him to do it the arcade way? ;) Stop 1-2 meteres from the cars. Then go slowly towards them and when you touch them stop the DMU using the secondary brake (you should even gently press on them). Than press insert twice and release the brake of the DMU. Change cab, release the brakes of the cars and drive.
