Metro simulator forums

Hello everyone. You know once happened to me that I accidentally turn off controls of a train when it's going and train is stopped by itself (it was MG2 but does that every train). Why the train do this when i turn off controls? It's for safety or that's a bug,glitch?

Maybe it's the protection that is installed in the train.

The brakes are automatically applied when there is the controls are disabled or when in when they are enabled in more then one cabin. I'm not sure how this would exactly work in real life trains, but I guess they would stop or even prevent the train being turned off completely (at least for the modern metro's in Rotterdam you need to put them the driving direction in neutral before you can take out the key), since the automatic train protection cannot function without knowing the driving direction. In the simulator of course you can disable the brakes and the train will not stop.

Aha. I did'nt know this before. By the way. This is wery useful thing if you want stop train quickly or in emergency (I don't use emergency brake, that track brake sound persisting i'ts annoyning).
