Oovee BVE4 Desiro Class 350 and OpenBVE

[Smecty]

I've just finished downloading all the trains for the 2010 version of the Network West Midlands route, and a couple of the trains were only available for BVE4 ... not OpenBVE. Nonetheless, I've had success running BVE4-only trains in OpenBVE ... until now.

I downloaded the Oovee Class 350/2 Desiro and installed same, intending to use it for the 17.36 (350) Maybank-Hammerwich semi-fast 2009 activity. It loads fine, does all the things I want it to like other BVE trains, but won't move an inch when power is applied. I've done the normal startup by going from neutral to forward back to neutral and then hitting the AWS, putting the reverser back into forward, turning on the lights, turning off the DRA when the light turns yellow, etc. etc. But I can't get it to budge!

Is there something I'm not doing right, or is - as the Oovee page clearly states - that their BVE4 freebies are "Not compatible with OpenBVE?"

Thanks.

It works fine in openBVE normally, I've never had any problems so hopefully someone will have a solution.

When reverser is in neutral, press and hold 2 to raise the pantograph.

Thanks very much, Ralph; that was the trick. I had actually tried hitting 2 in my previous attempts; what I had not done was hit and *hold* the 2 key until I heard verification.

Thanks again!

I have to say that this is a beautiful cabview; I'm going to download the others from Oovee's site as well!

But my gosh the brakes on that thing must be made out of paper! It makes for a really difficult train to handle and come out with anything resembling a decent score in OpenBVE. So far I've regarded a positive outcome ... i.e. "1" or more ... as a victory!
