So I'm running this activity and I need to disconnect some cars, so when I try to disconnect the couplers through F9, this menu comes up. Its probably more advanced, but I'm not sure what to press.

I'm still learning braking, angle cocks, all that stuff, there has just been a change in OR concerning this very thing you are posting about.
The easiest way to uncouple is to use the coupler symbol in the train ops window, but there's more to it than that. Also depends upon what OR version you are running as improvements are being made daily.
Read the threads. I'm still learning, it's very interesting, promises to be a wonderful addition to OR.Cheers, Gerry

The simple method still works. Just click on the coupler at the front of the car you want to uncouple. Make sure it is only a single click or you may end up uncoupling more cars from the string.Beer is not a matter of life or death, it is much more serious than that.Comment

With the new braking realism be sure to close the angle cock on rear of your trains cutting away last car or your train will go into emergency.A RR Mad Lip: It's Better Not 2 Show un Finished work when the work isn't Complete Proudly then getting let down about it When Posting & telling as it's Boldly Not SaFe 2 Urr Progress or Suportive Parents as it is to Post Regularly Round.

The normal initialise brakes keypress will deal with that, but it will not save the main res from losing pressure.Beer is not a matter of life or death, it is much more serious than that.Comment

Angle Cocks
Hmmm? What are the key commands for angle cocks and bleed valve in OR ? How does one call up the Car Operation Menu ??Russ G

The car ops window is on F9. The supplementary window appears when you click on a car. All pipes, valves and cocks are mouse controlled from that supplementary window.
Remember that it is all experimental but seems to work well once the principles are grasped.Beer is not a matter of life or death, it is much more serious than that.Comment

There are updated instructions for the F9 display and the F5 Brake display in the provisional "Version 1.0" Manual.doc and Manual.pdf included in the weekly downloads in the Documentation folder. But as stated above, you can still use Shift+/ to initialize the brakes after uncoupling. But you can do some very realistic things with the new controls.Sid P.sigpicComment
