When a vehicle experiences wheel skid, an indication is provided in the FORCES INFORMATION HUD. To correct the problem the brakes must be released, and then applied slowly to ensure that the wheels are not *locked* up. Wheel skid will only occur if ADVANCED adhesion is selected in the options menu.

On some steam locomotives brakes are not applied to all the wheels, possibly only the drive wheels have braking, and the other wheels do not. The following parameter can be set to reflect this for the calculation of skidding.
