I dont think the power/brake handles were animated however as stated in the readme the Class 350 is just a Public Beta, which basically means it is still a W.I.P (Work In Progress) but was released just to reciveve constructive critism to see how we can improve the product.

Hope this helps

Before any other comment is made, note v1.0 generally denotes public betas, we will use feedback from the community to improve the product as time goes on and it is stated that it is a beta rather then the finished product.

Right, two things really:

1. Do the Desiros in real life actually accelerate and brake that quickly? This is one for drivers to answer please.

2. Does anyone know whereabouts in the config file to limit the top speed to 100mph as it easily reached 120mph and was still increasing speed rapidly which seeing as in real life, it's limited to 100mph I would like to keep to that limit for the realism.

Other then that, looks good and great horn!

In my mind, v1.0 is a stable release - 0.9 and below are betas, even if they are public.

Still, a good addition to the collection.

Wonder if someone can help?

I'm using BRR10 to randomise routes, but it keeps coming up as "Train Not found" when I run the game.

Cheers

Look in your train folder, should be called cl350 and there should should be a subfolder in there, just go into the subfolder and copy the next folder which has all the train stuff in it then copy and paste it into a new folder in Trains called cl350, it then run okay.
Try that.

The brakes are shockingly bad. Surely they're not that bad in real life?

From 100mph, I hit the emergency brakes and it took me 46 seconds to come to a standstill.

One thing I did like was the overspeed alarm, if you overspeed so much then a alarm goes off and you reduce speed.

Still, I've only use them twice in real life since being introduced which was Basingstoke to Eastleigh, I think they were both 444s so can't really comment on the realism of them but I do like the way the wheels/motor squeal when leaving stations.

The crap brakes on Desiro is well documented - ask SwT Driver/Helvellyn here, and they will confirm.

You just need to adapt braking style - use the % gauge on the right of the speedo, and aim for 50%. Then let off as you stop.

its very good but the breaks are really not very good. it takes forever to stop from 30mph, it almost acts as if it is a 390. Also the speed needs to be stopped around 100mph, i was getting it towards 130mph.

But otherwise very good work.

I agree, the brakes suck and on the Ashford to Victoria route I got it up to 156mph.

I only use about 30% initial and adjust from there, the brakes are pretty good normally but crap on a poor railhead.

If anyone is intersted, at the moment you can keep the train around 100mph by keeping it on throttle position4.

I used it on a Maybank-hammerwich, ment for class 220 and kept to time, largely as i went upto 125mph :D
