Problem with filling the brake line after coupling the brake couplings

[213 001-1]

Dear railway friends!

The problem is the following.

When I drive a locomotive, regardless of the class, to a train, couple it and then connect the brake couplings, I always have the problem that the pressure in the brake line is not fully restored. Instead of being filled to 5.0 bar, the brake line is only filled to 4.3 bar, which is why the train's brakes are not fully released and the train cannot be moved.

Does anyone know what could be the reason for this?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Follow these steps
1. your pantogram should be raised
2. reverser = forward
3. click (,) untill dynamic brake=off
4. click shift+/ for initial brakes

Check your eng file for an air pipe leak setting. There was a fix in the latest ORTS testing versions which may be impacting you of the value for the leak rate is too high.

Problem found!

The problem is obviously that some rolling stock has single-release brakes and some rolling stock has multi-release brakes. I have tried it out. If the locomotive and wagons have multi-release brakes, there are no problems. But if the locomotive has a multi-release brake and the wagons to be coupled have single-release brakes, then the problem I described above arises. The brake line cannot be filled completely. So it will end up being that all locomotives and wagons that do not yet have multi-release brakes in their .eng and .wag files will have to be equipped with them.

Good evening!

The problem with filling the brake line after coupling the brake couplings has been solved.

Now I have tried it out and now I know exactly what to do.

In order for the filling of the brake line to work after coupling the brake couplings, all locomotives and wagons in the train must have the OR brake entries.

I have added the OR brake entries to the freight wagons of an activity and lo and behold, it works perfectly.

So one of my future tasks will be to replace MSTS .eng and .wag files with OR .eng and .wag files.

Good morning!

I've finally found the real solution. After the train has been coupled and the brake couplings have been connected, you have to open the train control window with F9 and click on a car of the train, it doesn't matter which one you click. This will open the menu window shown below. There you have to click on "Vorderes Bremsleitungsventil öffnen/schließen".

Once you've done that, the brake line will fill completely and you can drive off.

Evidently, you are using 2+ year old 1.5.1 stable, as this has all changed again. It is all graphical now.

Thank You very much for Your information, but from where do i get this new version? When i click on "What's new" on the menu screen of OR, then i get redirected to the version 1.5.1.

The OR development team is preparing to release a new stable version 1.6 which should contain all changes that are deemed stable. Stable version 1.5 is out-of-date -- does not contain many new developments. But it is recommended for those who do not care to use the other versions that may present challenges to use...having bugs, and new code.
