Hi Geoff
Does the cab cvf file you are using having a working sunflower?
		CabSignalDisplay (
			Type ( ASPECT_DISPLAY CAB_SIGNAL_DISPLAY )
			Position ( 600 79 40 40 )
			Graphic ( aws.ACE )
		)

The AWS ace having the two states.
I ask because some cabs either do not include that part in the cvf file or do not include the graphic to go with it.
Also check Carlo's instructions - I think it is still in latest version of Monogame only.
Finally the sad news that at the moment it seems unable to apply vacuum brakes.

Hi Darwin,

I am using all of the files suggested in the demo - including the locomotive and cabfile for the 150. I'll double check though.

I also noticed that the aws beep was cancelled if I operated the throttle or brake, not only the aws cancel button.

I guess this is still in the early stages, but it is a very welcome addition.

Geoff

Hi Geoff

This could be the Vigilance sound. The AWS sound is a ping, and the Vigilance is a beep. I haven't as yet, tested the vigilance but when you move certain cab controls, the vigilance resets the timer back to 60 seconds. However, once the vigilance sound is activated, the sound should only be cancelled by the reset button and not any of the other controls. In real life, you reset the Vigilance by the DSD foot pedal.

Thanks

These features are not currently available.


Okay thanks, so I can set the AWS to reset once at stand via the INI file?

Also Carlo, I've notice these cab controls no longer function, when the TCS script is activated:

DoesBrakeCutPower( 1 )
BrakeCutsPowerAtBrakeCylinderPressure( 16 )

Was this intentional ? As I believe similar tokens are being implemented soon!

Thanks

If you set
TrainStopBeforeRelease=true
you can reset only when the train has stopped AND the reset button is pressed.

Re your second question: can you try if they return active after having commented line
Include ( "AWS_eng.inc")
? I'm not sure it is the TCS script causing that.

I have tested (vigilance). There's a bug indeed. I have the intention to correct it.

In the OR engine file, I commented the Include line for the AWS_eng and they did indeed return back!

Thanks

I have disabled the script and checked that also the default MSTS vigilance, as implemented in OR, works so...

With this new release of the script, only pressing the reset button shuts the sound end avoids the braking once the beep has started.

File deleted because new release available.

Could you suggest a trainset with vacuum brakes where TCSFullServiceBraking works with the standard EmergencyStopMonitor? (by setting MonitoringDeviceAppliesFullBrake( 1 ) and MonitoringDeviceAppliesEmergencyBrake( 0 ).
Passing a signal at stop should trigger the automatic braking.
