Train Brakes Will Not Release

[railfandaniel]

As this seems to be affecting any locomotive you add to the consist, I suspect the problem lies with one or more of the cars in the consist. What are you using in this consist?

The consists are different as well, sorry I forgot to mention that. One is just GO Transit BiLevel coaches, the other is a mixture of VIA Rail HEP2 and LRC coaches.

I had a run on the Richmond Hill Southbound using the standard MLT stock and cannot replicate your problem.

I'm aware it is a problem with either something I'm doing or possibly something I did to the simulator. I wouldn't be surprised if the problem fixes itself somehow, as that happened a lot when I used MSTS. Thanks again.

Main reservoir is constantly low of pressure, that's why it cannot fill your brake pipe instantly. The long release time is because of that it is the compressor that is (slowly) pumping up the pressure. You might try increasing the main reservoir volume, so it could store more air.

One thing with the OR braking system. The lower the pressure in the pipes, the longer it takes to pump up and release the brakes. I also notice that you have a single pipe engine on a twin pipe car set. Not sure if that might contribute to the problem.

Ya know, reading this thread, it appears that OR is simulating what would happen if you actually had a problem with a main reservoir or other malfunction in the brake system.

Except here it is probably caused by a low or incorrect setting in the wag or eng files?

This shouldn't be a problem, that would be an OpenRails bug.

Thanks again for all the help guys. The problem has not been solved yet, but I'm going to give Open Rails a break for a while anyways as I need to focus on other things.
