Let me say that I love the "Hold down the U and click on the coupler" function. Finally! However, I am unable to recouple and resume. Uncouple from the train using either the "U" function or the F-9 Operations Window and then recouple to the train. No air on the train and the data is blank. The engines won't move the train as the air is apparently set with no way to reactivate the brakes.

Also, when you've moved back to where you are going to uncouple using the Alt-Num3 "Camera Car Previous" function in the "Camera Outside Front" view, you need to go back to the first car in the train to be looking at the coupler you wish to uncouple. In MSTS when you uncouple the cars the 2-view jumps to the engines. Not so in OR and your power moves off to Never Never Land leaving you, in this case, sitting in the baggage car!

Wow! I just noticed when stopping that power that ALL of the engines set up with the engine brakes! Thanks! And don't those 3DTrains v.4 F's look wonderful!

:good:

I believe on re-coupling you will to reconnect the brake line to recharge the system ( / ).

Nope. It doesn't. Fully recharged, 90 pounds all around. Airhose not connected.

OK, when in doubt, read the manual. P22 at the bottom begins a discussion of how you a. couple the air lines and b. release the hand brakes. Amazing what you can find when your read the book! :rofl: :oldstry:

Yes sir! This team is doing their best to actually create a 'real' train simulator and not just a train game. :oldstry: You'd actually be surprised as to what's going on behind 'closed doors', here.

:D
