This is the best explanation and demonstration of the German safety systems I've come across so far. Thankyou. I keep getting caught out with the 1000hz magnet. Initially I think I was going past it too fast, resulting in the emergency brake application.
I've played all the train sim games.... I love them but struggled with German safety systems. At long last with the help of this very good video I now get it !!!! Thank's, it's a sub and like from me! Can't wait for TSW 4. When you part with your pennies... just remember TSW are the best Train Sim's.....
Bless you thanks 😊 yeah I'd thought II would share an easier understanding 👍 Thank you for the sub and like much appreciated 😊 Yes will be covering TSW4 at some point 👍 it is the best one and really the only one on console atm
Thanks Mate, I have been struggling with this for a long time and read most help but never been able to have a non stop ride. You video is amazing and your detailing about everything is really appreciated.
I've been playing tsw2020 for about 385 hours and never used safety systems. I have Tsw2 and Tsw4, but still stuck with tsw2020! 😅 I literally found out about safety systems 3 days ago as I was playing Main Spessart Bahn. I jumped into it, with the help of visual tutorials like yours and the game tutorial provided with MSB, and spent several services where I'd fail to acknowledge pzb. After like 4 services where I was failing many times it all fell into place! 🙏🏼 And learning it gave a whole new dimension to playing TSW!
Oh wow! I can't believe you have gone this long without playing some massive upgrades to the series! It has improved so much since then, lighting, sky, detail etc. Was there a reason for sticking with 2020 for so long? Lol Anyway Im glad this video has helped you have a bit more understanding of PZB, LZB etc. It does add soooo much more depth to the game, it definitely keeps you alert! 😂 Yea myself have been playing the series since 2020 and love it, I think I have about 300hrs in each lol
😂 So to answer your first question; I was actively playing Tsw2020 when it came out, but I started with NTP, then followed up by playing WSR. Till I got all the trophies. Then I stopped for a while, and then picked the game up again just when TSW2 got released. I bought it, buuuut...At that time I was playing GWR....but since I love those achievements and have a difficult time moving until I get my platinum (PlayStation trophies), I stick around. Then another couple of years passed and just when TSW4 got released (bought that one too 😅) I was only missing the Mile Muncher Trophy for the class 166 (drive 1660 miles) on the GWR. The problem now is that there are two trophies that require tons of time to get; all services on RT or MSB...and the one NYF or LIRR! And I don't cheat (I've read that you can spawn at the end of each service, take control of the train, lock the doors after passengers have completed embarking/disembarking, and get the service completed)...I drive my services 😅 oh the dilemma.. I've played around 26 hours on TSW 2, but without those achievements for TSW2020 it's so hard to move on!😭
Yep 👍 If you have a situation where the train stops and you can still here the alarm but cannot cancel it, then you will want to HOLD THE SQUARE BUTTON WHILE PRESSING LEFT ON THE DPAD to release PZB 👍
Awesome. So basically acknowledging the magnet on the keyboard is “page down” and SIFA “Q” I have a keyboard on my lap and the controller as well. I find that makes it easier for all the key bindings
@@Fat_Cat_Caravan amazing !!!!!! It’s almost 1 am here in Montreal Canada - finishing working and gonna play till 6am. The sacrifice of being single hehehe
This was an amazing explanation and tutorial into how the German safety systems work. Was wondering if you had any other tutorials on this game as this was so useful. Thanks pal !
Questions: 1. 12:09, why 85 and 70 2. 13:27 what happens if i do not acknowledge the magnets and what button is it on keyboard 3. 15:17 why does the blue bar to the left of the speedometer say “99” and ”100x”? 4. 15:27 why does it say “Ü” to the right of the speedometer? 5. 15:36 How did you know that it was the maximum speed of the route? 6. 17:07 how did you know that the track limit was 230 and that the train was breaking for 160 7. How do I know what safety system zone I am in? This tutorial was amazing, loved the video!
Hi, firstly thank you for you're comment 😊 Ok so... 1. So the 70-85 flashing means the train is essentially in "startup mode" now I'm not sure why this refers to 40kmh but if its not flashing then the maxiumum permited speed will be 85. The PZB range is 70, 85 with a maxium of 160kmh. After which on highspeed trains the LZB takes over to the 300+ kmh range. 2. Ok if you DO NOT acknowlege the specified magets (speed change ones) the train will come to a stop. I play on PS so not sure what it is on keyboard sorry. 3. So that blue bar is a countdown bar to the next speed change, the 99 just refers to when you come within the 9.9km then it will start counting down to give the train enough time to stop 👍 4. The "U" represents the pzb mode the train is currently in. So you get 2 modes for pzb one is pasenger and one is freight, the U represents passengee mode. 5. Ok you can tell by the speedometer you will see a little pin marking the max speed 👍
I can try to answer some of your questions: 2. You have to acknowledge it, I recommend to change PZB free to 4 and PZB acknowledge to 5. 3. Ü means Überwachung and means that you are tracked by the LZB. When driving on PZB, there should be a B. 6. LZB tells you the maximum Speed and automatically brakes you down when your target speed is lower than your current Speed, you need to use the AFB for that. 7. Ü=LZB B=PZB
@@zwergstern9830 thank you for helping me. Do you know what button on keyboard it is you press down to acknowledge the magnets and do you know if you have to acknowledge the magnets on all the german routes in TSW?
You only need to acknowledge some magnets not all. Like for example with speed limit increases don’t need to be acknowledged but decreases greater than 60km/h need to be acknowledged
Little yellow signal flashing is telling you reduce speed because the next signal will most likely be a red. There should be a speed limit to, im guessing 40km/h
I believe its shift+enter and control+enter. One of them turns it on from the back panel and one acknowleges, can't remember which way round tho? Sorry

Yea those magnets will catch you of you don't acknowlege them lol

Thank you 🙏
Linienzugbeeinflussung is Railroad train line Influence. Very helpful, Danke Schoen !👍👍
You're welcome 😊
Now I understand LZB, I needed help with it, but I still have a question. What do the letters mean for LZB?
Linienförmige Zugbeeinflussung
7:30 "Now we're gonna be late…"
Ah, so just another ICE experience? lol
(I've ridden the ICE 3 once and gotten 2 hours late)
Oh yeah but its fine, just a tutorial lol 👍
For ps5 controls, how to acknowledge and release pzb and release sifa?
Circle button to acknowlege and if you want to release, hold square and at the same time press left or right on the dpad 👍
I’ve just acquired this route and looking forward to playing it especially now I’ve seen this great tutorial. Thank you for sharing.
Oh brilliant! Glad it helped you out 😊 you're very welcome 👍

Whats the shortcut button for pzb release,pzb acknowledge,and sifa in ps4?
Circle button 👍
@@Fat_Cat_Caravan so both sifa n pzb acknowledge use circle button?
Yep 👍
If you have a situation where the train stops and you can still here the alarm but cannot cancel it, then you will want to HOLD THE SQUARE BUTTON WHILE PRESSING LEFT ON THE DPAD to release PZB 👍
@@Fat_Cat_Caravan ah thank you,really helpful bro
Yea np you're welcome 👍
Hirthe Overpass
Ok.....
Ok, but how do you acknowledge? All I hear is clicks, not shown. Thanks
The acknowledge is only relevant to the actual event e g. Sifa & signal changes. The button to press is circle 👍
nice video
Thank you 😁
Interestingly pzb is also used in U.K. on the Tyne and Wear metro
Really? Ok
@@Fat_Cat_Caravan yep it’s mentioned on Wikipedia 😂
@@LadySophieofHougunManor7325 🤣
Awesome. So basically acknowledging the magnet on the keyboard is “page down” and SIFA “Q”
I have a keyboard on my lap and the controller as well. I find that makes it easier for all the key bindings
On controller its just one button "B" or "O" (on PS) 👍
@@Fat_Cat_Caravan so I think u mentioned in the video - Xbox SIFA is « B » and pzb is « X and right D pad » ?
Right so to acknowlege sifa will be B and if you get stopped for missing a magnet you HOLD X and press right on dpad to reset PZB 👍
@@Fat_Cat_Caravan amazing !!!!!! It’s almost 1 am here in Montreal Canada - finishing working and gonna play till 6am. The sacrifice of being single hehehe
You lucky! 😂😂😂
Thanks for this very detailed explanation. I now have more confidence using the safety features. Great work.
Np Derrick, you are most welcome 👍 I done this vid because there wasn't anything about it out there.
Punktförmige Zugbeeinflussung is pzb lol😅
Punctual train conttol 👍🤣
@@Fat_Cat_Caravan yep lol surprised whole of U.K. bot using it 😂
This was an amazing explanation and tutorial into how the German safety systems work. Was wondering if you had any other tutorials on this game as this was so useful. Thanks pal !
What would you like to know? I can do 👍
And thank you 😊
@@Fat_Cat_Caravan maybe a video covering the safety systems on the class 395 on the southeastern highspeed ?
@joshj516 yea sure 👍
Questions:
1. 12:09, why 85 and 70
2. 13:27 what happens if i do not acknowledge the magnets and what button is it on keyboard
3. 15:17 why does the blue bar to the left of the speedometer say “99” and ”100x”?
4. 15:27 why does it say “Ü” to the right of the speedometer?

Hi, sorry I don't play the PC version so wouldn't know 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Sorry I can't help this time 😪
Really informative 😊 thanks. 💯👍
Thank you 😊
You only need to acknowledge some magnets not all. Like for example with speed limit increases don’t need to be acknowledged but decreases greater than 60km/h need to be acknowledged
And that’s only when under PZB. When under LZB control you don’t need to acknowledge any magnets
And you also need to acknowledge yellow signals when under PZB
Yeah I know 👍
I was just trying to keep this simple for people, but yes you're absolutely right 👍
Thank you! This helps a lot!
No probs man 😁👍

Is there a system shortcut for Sifa on the PS4 controller?
Circle to cancel sifa yes 👍
@@Fat_Cat_Caravan Ok thanks for making this simple tutorial
Np you're very welcome 👍
Thank you
Np 😊
very good tutorial
Thank you 😊
Thank you, great tut. It gives absolutely more fun riding a train.
Keep up creating such good instruction videos.
greetz from Holland👌
Bless you and thank you 😊
Aprreciate it 👍 it really does add to the fun doesn't it!
Hola Holland !!! 🖐🖐
how do i deal with the little yellow ! flashing up i doont get ittt
Little yellow signal flashing is telling you reduce speed because the next signal will most likely be a red. There should be a speed limit to, im guessing 40km/h
Great tips thanks cat but i just ignore all these things and drive the train 😂
🤣 fair nuff and thats totally fine too 👍
Some people will just wanna drive and not worry bout it 👍
please what is the keyboard control to aknowledge the sifa ? thank you
I don't play on PC but I think its Q ?
What do u play on then?
PS5 as featured in this vid 👍
Great content! Really appreciate it 🎉 thanks
No worries 👍
Awesome video
Thanks 😊
@@Fat_Cat_Caravan your welcome
Really helpful!
Cool thanks 😊 👍
thank you, very helpful
You're welcome 😊
hey how to acknowledge the sifa on pc?
I believe its shift+enter and control+enter.
One of them turns it on from the back panel and one acknowleges, can't remember which way round tho? Sorry
@@Fat_Cat_Caravan Thank you , I already found it and its Q on keyboard
Oh sorry was totally wrong 😂
