Skyline User's Forum _ General MSTS Discussion _ THROTTLE KEYS

Posted by: dsweiner Aug 11 2013, 03:08 PM

Running activity NBN4 on Route USA1A. Throttle keys A and D do not display increase or decrease percentage. Engine used is CSXT C40-8 7526.

Does anyone have a clue as to what may be causing that to happen?

Thanks,

David

David - I just downloaded this engine from SLE Streamlines freeware, and installed it on the Marias Pass 5 route, and used it on the act supplied. It worked fine and showed the % in increments, as it is supposed. to. SO - it possibly has a conflict in the route itself, or the name is different. The freeware is called CSX C40-8 7526. No "T" in the name. You may want to redownload it and substitute it with Activity Manager.
Good luck
Ted

This is due to the *.cvf and *.eng files not having the same values for the throttle positions. I could also be due to the two files calling out two different controls. Some locomotives use a combined control (power and dynamic), such as the Dash 9 that came with Train Simulator. In the real world, I've seen cabs both ways, combined and individual, in locomotives.
