I can be driving fine etcc then my train looses traction the brake cylinder pressure goes up the train slows down and comes to a stop, then I can never get it going again, where am i going wrong, I did not break any signal rules, i acknowledge the indusi and the sifa. It just looses power then slows down and comes to a stop, and I can never get it moving again.

Is there any sound when the train brakes (PZB-Warning, etc.)?

Which route and which train do you drive?

No there is no sound or anything, the train just comes gradually very slowly to a stop ( like there is no more power to it) if i increase the power there is no response beside the KN gauge showing an increase, and the brake cylinder pressure wont drop, it drops as far as 2 and thats it no more, its happened with a couple of trains and a couple of roots now, so i dont think it is the route or anything, i think i am doing something wrong for that to occur.

How do i add a picture here and then you can look at the diagnostic screen of the train

Just go to the tab "Imgur" below the window wher you enter the text. There you can put the pic by drag&drop.



Then a link appears below and a button on the right of it which allows to place the picture link in your post.

See the brake pressure cylinder gauge is at 1/2 bar and it stays there, and then there is a G symbol with arrows above bremse

Another example

The brakes of your train are overloaded (pressure in the main pipe is way higher than the normal 5 bar).
Do you use a joystick, Raildriver or something like that?

I use my old CH flight yoke cause it has three axis levers on it and it works to increase power, for train brakes and dynamic brakes etc.

You have to ensure that in the neutral position of your yoke a HL (main pipe) pressure of 5 bar is set.

Oh okay, and how do I do that? also what do I do to reset the situation without starting the whole route again.

I finally found my problem, I was driving with the train brake valve lever all the way to the furthest notch, what is that highest notch used for cause when in that detent it increases brake pressure.

Thanks for the help

Activating the Autopilot should reset the problem.

Yes, that's it. While driving, the train brake should be in the second highest notch.
