Switching from auto-pilot back to user control forces wheel slip problem

[thegreatone1980]

I am having an issue, wherein when I test an activity with autopilot, and switch back to user control, I am unable to use any throttle at all without triggering wheel slip and complete loss of traction. This makes it unplayable even using sander is not resolving the issue. Switching back to autopilot makes the train run properly again, but user control doesn't work.

Does anybody have a similar issue?

Yes, same here. Autopilot lets you drive maximum speed, no matter how heavy your train and/or how steep you’re climbing uphill.

>autopilot makes the train run properly again,

Autopilot runs without physics, so its not running properly.

Can you run the train manually all the way?

If you want assistance, post an OR log and the eng file of the loco with the problem.

I find that if I advance the throttle for just a moment when reverting to player control I can then assume full control of the loco.

Thanks for the replies so far. I just read in the manual that if one uses advanced adhesion settings then this problem can occur. How do you turn off advanced adhesion?

I was testing the activity with increased sim rate. If I run the activity manually from beginning no problem with wheel slip but it would take several hours as the route is around 430 Kms. (Srgt route Indian railways)

I will post the log file when I get the chance. However I seem to have discovered that it may be a documented issue.

Advanced adhesion is in the Options --> Simulation tab

I changed to MSTS Compatible and it now seems to work ok.
