Hi, thanks for the reply.
I have a list of all the basic controls and understand the principle but on a number of the trains I have attempted to run despite releasing brakes, setting forward motion and applying power the train just sits there.
I only run UK trains so don't don't if there are differences with US style locos in releasing ATS/TPWS before moving off. Also, some of the routes show the countdown before departing the platform.
The only train I've had real success with at the moment is the first generation DMU from the BVE Traction Maintenance Depot site where I was able to print off a full drivers guide.
I've looked in the install folders to see if there is a drivers guide for the specific loco I want to use but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I'm going to use the 1st Generation guide as my "bible" for the time being and hope it gives me more success but obviously it wont' be any use for diesels where there is the extra requirement to start the motor (assuming it's not running when the route is loaded).
I am also looking for help in getting my Logitech Attack 3 joystick setup. The first attempt was a failure as the buttons didn't do anything despite following the customise control screen.
I'm sure I'll get there in the end but it's frustrating at the moment.
