Dear Carsten Hölscher, I hope this guide helps the english community on the use of your great simulator. I think that if this guide is pinned it will be useful to new virtual drivers arriving here. Thank You!!!
(This guide is a helper, it not substitute the official manual that soon or later everyone should read it )
Code: Alles auswählen
Main station (Hauptbahnhof — Hbf)
Freight station (Güterbahnhof — Gbf)
Marshalling yard (Rangierbahnhof — Rbf, formerly known as Verschiebebahnhof — Vbf)
Locomotive depot (Betriebsbahnhof — Bbf — used only for internal railway operations such as train crossovers)
Crossover (Überleitstelle — Üst)
Block post (Blockstelle Bk)
Halt (Haltepunkt — Hp)

---Doors-------------------------------------------------------------
INS (Left) and HOME (Right) rotate the Doors Knob
---Types of Doors Systems--------------
- None: Wait for the Green Circle to go
- TB0: T to release doors. Nothing to close
- SAT: INS/HOME to open doors. Rotate back to close after Red Icon disappeared
- SST: Like SAT, but you have to wait for the Green circle
- TAV: Like SAT, but you also have to press T. Closing is the same
- UIC-WTB: Like SST

---Buttons-----------------------------------------------------------
1. Befehl40
2. Frei/Free
3. Wachsam/Vigilant
(Befel40 | Frei | Wachsam)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---PZB90-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---Magnets-----------------------------------------------------------
---1000Hz (green light) - Distance Signal
Should press Wachsam/Vigilant within 4s
O - from 165km/h to < 85km/h in 23s
M - from 125km/h to < 70km/h in 29s
U - from 105km/h to < 55km/h in 38s
After 700m from 1000Hz you can use Frei/Free (out from magnet 500Hz) to free the restriction, the Main Signal should be clear with >40km/h
---500Hz (blue light)
O - from 65km/h to < 45km/h in 153m and keep until 250m
M - from 50km/h to < 35km/h in 153m and keep until 250m
U - from 40km/h to < 25km/h in 153m and keep until 250m
---2000Hz - Signal
Active when red light
You can use Befehl40 to ignore and have a limit of 40km/h
If within of 1000Hz or 500Hz the train goes:
- 0 km/h
- +15s with < 10km/h
It enter in restriction limit of -20km/h (45km/h) and only go out if use Frei/Free outside of magnets (70 and 85 lights alternate)
