Dead engine after save and reload?

[sniper297]

I don't often save and reload a session, but I wanted to check something so I saved one before shutting down and rebooting. When I reloaded the session, the engine wouldn't move. It looks like the engine is "dead" or shut off, two GP9s coupled back to back and neither one had power.

Green throttle display is normal forward, red normal reverse, yellow flashing on and off when you're getting wheelslip. Blue I've only seen before when accidentally hitting an AI train at low speed and coupling on, that makes the player train part of the AI and after uncoupling I could no longer control my engine and got that blue throttle display. This is the first time I've seen it without accidentally coupling to an AI train, but again I don't save and reload sessions often.

Is there some type of shutdown/startup button I'm missing, or did I burn out the traction motors somehow? Is there a way to make the blue green again, or is that game over?

Hi Sniper,

Blue is Dynamic Brake on, press D to put it back into normal.

Cheers.

Thanks, that worked! Altho I'm using a Raildriver, so I just shoved the throttle forward past the detent to full dynamic then pulled it back to idle, that got me the white label. Shifting into forward got my green back. Wonder why a save would set the dynamic brake on? Had the throttle and reverser in neutral with the air brakes on when I saved it, never occurred to me it might change something.

I think it's a bug, I had that issue back on TS2010, I've never saved a session on TS12 yet so not sure if the bug is on that version too.

Cheers.

I save an reload sessions all the time with a Raildriver and don't have that problem. Might try re calibrating the raildriver .
