Class 365 Problem

[kieranrossharvey]

I have a problem; When driving the Class 365, during every journey about half way through I will make a normal stop at a station. When I try to pull away the brakes won't fully release. At first it was due to me playing with the speed set control (which still confuses me on this unit?) but even when i don't touch it it happens. I can pull away but the breaks are not released so it's slow and sometimes won't pull away at all, no idea what the problem is? No alarm is sounding when it happens (but I never hear the vigilance alarm strangely, it don't seem like there is one?) so I am lost for ideas, any help guys?

Thanks,
Kieran.

Are all the CDL lights out?

I would try putting the brakes fully on, then wait a few seconds before releasing them. FYI - this also happens with the class 444 and 450.

Hi Kieran, I had the same bug and reported it to RSC at the time. I'm surprised it wasn't more widely picked up on. It seems the compressor is too weak to recharge the main res so the brakes are very slow to release once you've braked a few times.

I did edit mine in the end. If you unpack the ECMLS .ap file and go to Assets\RSC\ECMLS\RailVehicles\Electric\Class365\Class365\Simulation you can edit Class 365 Engine Simulation.bin with RW Tools, and increase the power rating of the compressor to something that works. Mine is now 0.30, sorry I can't remember what it was originally!

Code: Select all

<Compressor>
										<EngineSimulation-cCompressorBlueprint d:id="314125">
											<Type d:type="cDeltaString">eElectric</Type>
											<PowerRating d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="000000400AD7D33F" d:precision="string">0.30</PowerRating>

Hope this helps!

Brilliant will give this a try and get back to you, I too am surprised it is not more widely picked up on, it really ruins the chance of keeping to timetable lol

Ah! that's a really clever solution. May I ask you how you figured that out? I thought it was down to a door scripting error or something. Wish I had looked into it a bit more now.

Cheers mate!
