• Passenger doors can no longer be opened whilst moving

Vectron

• Adjustments to the starting brake modes.

• The Vectron should now start in brake mode “G” if the train weight exceeds 800t, otherwise “P” if the formation has freight wagons or “R” if the train is a single locomotive or only has passenger wagons. The PZB Mode will only switch between “O” (same conditions as “R” brake) or “M” (otherwise).

​

• Various improvements to cab lighting.
  • Added a second spotlight component that illuminates the air condition panel.
  • Corrected the behaviour of the reading light and cab light. Reading light requires the battery to turn on, the cab light illuminates regardless of battery state.
  • Increased the brightness of the cab and reading lights.
  • Disabled input to the Reading Light fuse (to match real life input)
• Added PZB reverse status message
• Added missing “Schnellbr. durch Seitenfahrschalter” CCD message
• Implemented country dependent “Quick Release” behaviour.
  • In Germany, the Quick Release only fills the brake pipe to 5.0 bar and does not manually overcharge the brake pipe (automatic overcharge is still active and boosts the EQ/BP to 5.2 bar).
  • In other countries, Quick Release will allow the BP to rise to 5.8 bar and holding the lever in this position also overcharges the EQ/BP up to 5.8 bar.
• Range of improvements to Vectron functionality and logic
  • Changed Electric Brake Valve logic to be absolute (standard/old behaviour) in Germany and relative in other countries.
  • Implemented logic to force the Train Brake lever to skip step 1A if going from “Running” to a higher step.
  • Fixed an issue with the “1A-1B notch logic” of the train brake lever that sometimes made the train brake jump back to 1B when releasing into 1A, if the train brake had been moved to notch 2 or higher previously without stopping in 1A or 1B.
  • Changed the behaviour of the Train Length Counter to turn off the function after 5 minutes of the train being stationary.
• Fixed an issue that caused the train length remaining number to get stuck if the train stopped before it had run out.
• Fixed the Horn High/Low fuses to be up when closed and down when open.
• Fixed the Horn fuse labels that made the label always state “Open”.
• Fixed the Ebula Time and Date display
• Fixed an issue in the TDD Overview page that made the total tractive effort number have a minus sign even when zero, if recently braking.
• Fixed PZB mode always showing 55 after switching from reverse to neutral/forward till reconstruct
• Fixed an issue with the road runner display.
• Fixed an issue where AFB would not flash on AFB activation
• GSMR beep will now sound upon cab activation rather than moving the Reverser to Forward.
• Fixed an issue where AFB would not sound when moving the Reverser to Neutral.
• Changed BSAAS Battery State to use the actual Battery state rather than Supply Voltage.
• Implemented a trigger that sounds the ZBF alert when moving the reverser to Forward with PZB enabled.
• Fixed an issue that made the transformer audio cut out when the MCB is opened and then closed above 40 km/h.
• Fixed an issue that made it possible to change the PZB mode in the MFD settings page while the locomotive is running or PZB is in restrictive mode.
