SN61 trouble

[Guti]

Hello from Spain.

First of all congratulation for that wonderful Sim.
I play it for aproximately 3 months and I have several questions.

The first is the behavior of the SN61 unit. One of the cabin work fine, all the positions of the master controller do what they have to do. 1 for ignition, 2 for idle, 3 start movement,....8 fully open and the train go perfectly. But if I change to the other cabin to drive.....problem. I do the same to start to move: Reverser to forward, controler in position 1, ignition, controler in position 2, release brakes, controler in position 3, start to move, but when I change to position 4, THE ENGINE STOPS itself. No mater what will I do, allways stop the engine when I select the 4 position of the controler, even if I change 3 to 5 position directly THE ENGINE ALWAYS STOPS. The unique way to move is let the position 3 of the controller and the velocity reach 55/60 km/h.

I have read all the post in that forum (english) and I don't have find nothing about that.

I have Maszyna in two folder, one for the official path (patch_220604_sp1.zip) and another one for unofficial (eu07-160704-unoff.rar), and in both "Maszynas" the behavior of SN61 is the same, fine one cabin, and wrong the other.

Another thing. I have observed that in certains activities the IA trains stop between two station and don't move even the light of the semophore is green, or the en57 has clear to go (green light) from Koniewice but don't move, Is a bug of the program? Can I do something to fix that?.

The third issue, what mean "Wymagany % ciezaru hamujacego" ?

The last, Is Maszyna 2 proyect alive?

Thanks.

This is bug in sim, if You want drive after the cabin change, You must take the position number 3 and next position number 8.

Yes, it's a bug. Sometimes trains controlled by AI suffer from rolling wheels and they can't move as a result. Sometimes you can fix that by removing some cars from the train i.e. when ET22 has 30 cars try reducing them to about 10. It may help.

The third issue, what mean "Wymagany % ciezaru hamujacego" ?

Well, it's a value that describes if the train has enough weight (enough cars) to properly brake at a given distance when it goes with a given speed. You probably know that the more cars there are, the more "braking power" the train has. So this % describes (roughly - I'm not the specialist in physics) if to condition of "braking power" at the given line has been fulfilled. If this percent is more or equal to 100% then everything is OK.

The last, Is Maszyna 2 proyect alive?

As far as I know - yes. But the authors are kindda shy and do not report on the progress. Sometimes they upload new screenshots or something but they don't give precise dates when the project will be finished.

Thanks to both.

Is dificult to drive in that conditions, throttle 3-throttle 8, but in real life trais have damage too.

About % brake I understan it.

Thanks again.
