V2 quirks

Post by fastflame »

Several concerns I've hand since I upgraded to V2 when it first came out are these:

In V1, when I apply the automatic brake, I got pressure readings in the brake cylinder (BC) display, which make sense. The value is about 2.5 times the BP reduction, which I believe is about as it should be. However, in V2 the only time I see a value for BC above zero is specifically when I apply the independent. Which is the correct mode of operation for BC?

Also, in V1, my alerter worked fine. In V2, it never trips no matter how long I go without touching any controls while moving.

Any input would be welcome.

Thanks

I'm not sure about the BC stuff but are you running in Hogger Mode, if not your alerter will not sound
