Can the Alerter be Activated so it sounds off every 50 seconds please?

Dunno about the alerter but the FPS display is F3.

65 seconds.

60 seconds. The interval also changes depending on speed.

Yes, yes. I was simply stating the time in the manual.

When the alerter is enabled, if you are travelling at over 5mph it will begin a
countdown from 65 seconds (there is no visual representation for this). Once that
countdown reaches zero it will make a sound in the cab and turn an indicator on.

On the HUD, you will also see the Alerter icon light up.
Once this has happened you have 5 seconds to respond before the control system
takes over and stops the train.

To acknowledge the alerter press the Acknowledge button on the control stand,
the Q key on your keyboard or the B button on your Xbox controller. Any time
you move any of the primary controls such as throttle, brake, reverser or operate
the horn etc. the timer will also reset, so while you’re actively controlling the
locomotive you will likely not hear any alarms from the alerter at all.

Manual is on Steams TSW store page.

Shoot!

The one in TS2017 was more realistic. Either nothing happened, you'd beat on it until the train dumped, or it would go off every 3-5 seconds for 12 hours.

We get it, Jerry -- please suffer in silence for at least a while.

My apologies sir,

I was attempting to make a joke, as the real ones tend to behave as I described.

Sorry for the confusion, have a nice day.

Look in the circuit breaker panel in the cab. There's one named "Warning Devices Off." Flip it to "On." At least on the SD-40 and GP-38, that's where it is.
