That yellow warning light is your alerter. If you don’t use any controls for more than 30 seconds that light comes on and if you still don’t use any controls or hit the alert button it will throw your train in emergency.
yip.. irl, especially in the english trains, there is something called a 'Dead Man Peddle' and the driver keeps his/her leg on it, and when it rings the bell, he/she is supposed to left the leg, and put it back down, and if he doesn't do it, the train, (obviously) applies emergency brakes.
@@gurukn us trains also used tohave it, but British trains equivalent is dsd which means every 90 seconds with you must lift your foot off the pedal, they also have aws which means if you pass a signal that isnt clear it will beep and you have to press a button
The yellow alerter light has nothing to do with the engine working too hard; it's just a timed alarm that checks if you're awake if you haven't touched the throttle or brake. Respond with the Q key and leave the throttle in 8!
The alerter was the light and beeping sound you were hearing and is to make sure the engineer is awake or alive, it will continue to come on after a preset time if no controls are touched, so by moving the throttle you reset the alerter. There are certain controls that will not reset the alerter, these are the sand and lights.
9:50 as a professional railroader, this is the one aspect that TSW gets right: traincrew that hate life. Also, Jeff, if you haven't, give Trainz a go. It blows the realism aspect out of the water compared to TSW. I'd also recommend Run8 V2, but that's a whole nother level of realism.
Wheel slip on this game is shown by red zigzag lines around the speedometer. The little yellow light is the alerter. And just need to hit the alerter button.
I 100% agree with you that Dove Tail needs to either set up trains fully in scenarios or let you start them from the train equivalent of "quick turn" or "cold and dark" states. Having a train that's partially set up is rather irritating. Either way, enjoyed the video, Jeff. I'll probably pick this DLC up once it hits a sale and be sure to install the patch straight away.
@@rcmike09 who do you work for? I worked for the Big pumpkin for a while until it all went down hill. Loved every minute of being an engineer. Still miss it but can’t go back to the volatility of it.
Yup. It's every 60/65 seconds, though. All @Jeff Favignano needs to do hit the yellow reset button labeled "ALERTER" to reset it. The button is right below the sander on the SD40-2, and in Train Sim World 2 the hotkey for it is "Q".
That was the alerter if you don’t touch any of the controls or hit the alert reset button it will go off and if it doesn’t stop the train will go into emergency
Love the train sim content Jeff, keep up the great work! Super excited to hear you'll be doing a video with Dovetail about the Rush Hour DLC, really looking forward to seeing the gameplay and hearing what you have to say especially about the new Amtrak route!
Hey Jeff great video! Just a little fyi that yellow indicator on the hud is the alerter, merely an alarm to ensure the driver is still awake and alert.
you can tell this SD40-2 is just copied from the CSX one, UP's don't have flashing ditch lights. A few UP engines that are former Southern Pacific units have flashing ditch lights but they are very very few and far between
Great Job!! The warning you are getting is probably the alerter (Dead man). Is there an alerter reset button? If so, try that without changing throttle. If not, power down until the the warning goes away then throttle back up.
What train sum world is this I have the 2020 one but it doesn’t have any of the CSX trains or anything like that from your series all I got is the stalk in game GP-38-2 YN3 but idk how to get the other CSX trains were they mods?
Also when you're breaking you still were in 1 instead of the accelerator off.. while breaking.. I put mine in zero because of the steepness. Peace Stay Up
Hey Jeff I am trying to create a server in fivem so I can download fivepd and start playing but I am having trouble with the bat file in windows any suggestions?
can't say i think it's cool that you're doing a sponsored video with Dovetail, a company who has consistently proven a lack of quality standards and ethical business practices. but hey, money's money i guess.
As a small business owner I understand that everything doesn't come naturally or fall perfectly in place. A lot of people think it should in an unrealistic state of mind, but maybe if they had to work day in and out putting everything on the line the mindset would change. But stones are stones, no matter which direction they're thrown from.
i linked your video to my post on steam so dove tail would see it Glad they contacted you i was the first one to have that drama you had i guess when they saw your disappointment on video Dovetail wanna make amends

It doesn’t dump the train it puts it into suppression. To clear the penalty brake you put the automatic in suppression

Trains, planes and automobiles, this is why I love this channel. And weird stuff like Lawn Mowing simulator lol.
Jetpack man
Don't forget the commentary too LOL

i feel very uncomfortable with the wheelslip animation in this game, like in rl the amps dont jump up and down in split seconds like they do here xD.
@@jonassonbacon3388 that’s true but the speedometer definitely jumps around…it’ll say 54mph and you are barely moving
I really enjoy the TSW 2 vids. Today was a bad day but this took my mind off things. Thank you Jeff 👌🏻🙏🏻
Hope you’re doing well dude 🙏🏾

Headlight setting for rear engine is "control at either end" while the leading unit setting is "control at long end"
Damn perfect timing Jeff!!
Just in time jeff when I was getting bored this came out!
Number lights are only required for the lead loco so when you roll by each other you can read the number and relay all clear or a problem.
While this is true 99.99% of the time we just call a train by location and direction.
@@rcmike09 who do you work for? I worked for the Big pumpkin for a while until it all went down hill. Loved every minute of being an engineer. Still miss it but can’t go back to the volatility of it.
I can't believe they put ditch light flash on a UNION PACIFIC locomotive
I may be wrong but that yellow warning is the alerter. It comes on when you do not touch the controls for at least 30 seconds.
You are correct

Really looking forward to the new Northeast Corridor route coming out soon.
Number plates are only on for the leader. Headlights only on the head engine unless your light power, or the rear engine.
This is such a beautiful game!! The detail in this game looks almost real. Love the content ✊🏾
You was fine in throttle 8. The alarm was the alerter. Thats all the device warnings do.
Dovetail Games, let the community fix our games because we don't care to do so.
Hey Jeff great video! Just a little fyi that yellow indicator on the hud is the alerter, merely an alarm to ensure the driver is still awake and alert.
Thank you
Is this patch for pc are is it for ps4 also?
Cool video, did you see train sim world 4 just came out with news routes!
the Yellow ! is a Alerter and you need to move the throttle or the the alerter reset button to make it clear out
Hey an SD 45-2 in the old UP paintskeam seens the UP was back in the 1900's
you can tell this SD40-2 is just copied from the CSX one, UP's don't have flashing ditch lights. A few UP engines that are former Southern Pacific units have flashing ditch lights but they are very very few and far between
Sand just helps get you moving again when you train is stuck
Short trip for sure too bad you couldn't get much speed out of her!
Glad you found a patch though and figured out how to use it!
Thank god they released a patch for this dlc it looks a lot better now
Love the vids Jeff!
Jeff, your content is the best. I’ve watched for years.. If you’re ever in London beers on me!
sheesh downloading this right now! Also i recommend the new"ish" cloud mod, makes the sim look so much better
will do, thanks Blu!
Just subbed
Madd vladd WAS my only gaming channel until I found this dude!!!
Welcome brother
Hi Jeff Love your vids keep up the good work
Jeff Favignano never fails to impress us! Keep up the good work! 👍👌
Love your videos! Much love my man!
I used to play this its been so long like 1 year i cant even remember the control on ps4
Great Job!! The warning you are getting is probably the alerter (Dead man). Is there an alerter reset button? If so, try that without changing throttle. If not, power down until the the warning goes away then throttle back up.
Sorry, already commented...I should have read the other comments.
Great episode there Jeff it was interesting that the train didn’t like the incline
Great vid.
This was a fab video also now my mum likes your channel and said your a very nice person
Just an fyi jeff, Union Pacific doesn't use flashing ditch lights. At least, they don't where I live
only a couple of the former Southern Pacific engines have flashing ditch lights, that's it
Hey Jeff could you do an old The Pere Marquette 1225 locomotive train. It'd be cool to see one like this
great video jeff i like trains
Jeff, we need more train sim2 stuff!!
Is Hey Jeff do you know no when Wyoming is going to be released for American truck Is?
Great video as always
Loved it!

Really nice vid dude!! I miss the ATS ones in USA ;)
Thinking about getting the DLC but looking at the reviews on steam and what people tell me it’s a maybe
Jeff the sim guy. Lol you, Benzo Effect, civ ryan and zach I support
This is the first time i have watched you doing the train one. Can it be run without the controller you used?
Can you do more tower 3D pro?
So much better!
Also, would you recommend buying this game, Jeff?
What train sum world is this I have the 2020 one but it doesn’t have any of the CSX trains or anything like that from your series all I got is the stalk in game GP-38-2 YN3 but idk how to get the other CSX trains were they mods?
Hate when they use sand by my switches great vids as always keep em coming
Be cool if you could hear echo when you're blowing the horn on the outside shots. But this is awesome! Love watching your vids..
The train was pretty good.
I was waiting through the whole video to see you dynamic brake. And you just hit the brakes lol
yeah we had a uphill the whole way, no need for em
Do you know if they make train Sim world two for Consol Xbox one
How did you get the new horn for the SD40-2? It didn’t update for me?
Good question, I’m waiting for a response.
Love the videos keep up the good work
Awesome game Jeff
Also when you're breaking you still were in 1 instead of the accelerator off.. while breaking.. I put mine in zero because of the steepness. Peace Stay Up
Jeff have you heard the TrackIR support is coming for Train Sim World 2?
i fully support you and also I happen to like any game u play dude.
LIke i could watch paint dry if jeff was commentating
I liked it thank you jeff
Clutch upload I wanted to see some train sim
Hey Jeff I am trying to create a server in fivem so I can download fivepd and start playing but I am having trouble with the bat file in windows any suggestions?
if your a hardcore railfan and you know youre locomotives and routes, i do not recomend this dlc, but AWESOME VIDEO STILL
Heads up for Epic Game Store, TSW2 will be free on 7/29/21.
Edit: corrected month to July.
What's sup Jeff how are you doing are you going to get a dodge hellcat red eye the red eye next to your dodge ram 3500
I'm happy with just the RAM haha
@@jfavignano lol
Just got this game!!!
Watch Jeff or FTG, or watch FTG with Jeff
Kep it up
More train sim bby
This is pretty accurate as to how UP runs trains...under powered.
I didn't know UP had flashing in the game and in real life
Hey, Jeff not gonna lie but this DLC is for $9 in my country! I am from India and it is 699 INR which is 9 USD.
I’m glad NYC rush hour is gone now! 😂 now I can get home
Will you be playing FS22 game at all?
Edit: Just curious.
Hey Jeff. Cool video
Hey Jeff that was a good DLC pack train wold👍❤️
Notch!!! Thank You!!!!! It’s more then just a word. I’ll let the rest of your errors slide. HAHA
can't say i think it's cool that you're doing a sponsored video with Dovetail, a company who has consistently proven a lack of quality standards and ethical business practices. but hey, money's money i guess.
Is it sponsored? I thought it was just something Jeff purchased; I don't think Dovetail is paying him anything.
@@wallaosirus he said it's for an upcoming "Rush Hour" DLC in the video.

If you cant beat them join them... money will fix anything (maybe) it seems.
Hi
👍🏻
Love the video
hi jeff

You should try "king of retail"
That is turl even holding the sander down don't even do anything
Nice
Can you get off your train...and possibly be hit by another one...not that youd want to do that...👀
Nice vid
your lossing speed try to get more trachin if posable
