    Weird isn’t it but you can change that in the settings. That bugged me too for the longest time.

    I don't want to overrule anything. Especially since I'd like to use metric for those routes which use metric IRL. I like my UI using the same units as the incab screens and lineside signage.

    Delivery To Providence...
    After coupling the HSP46 to the coaches the loco no longer responds to the throttle or takes power.
    As an experiment I uncoupled again and same thing, could not take power as light engine.
    No switches in the cab have been changed by the player since running the loco light across the parallel track to the reverse point.

    Put brake to suppression and release it, although that scenarios pretty broken

    Thanks Bradley but as you say I noticed when I searched the forum, there were issues beyond the point where I got stuck.
    Sounds like this was all a bit rushed through to release.

    Why is track speed limited to 80mph when atc/acses are letting me go a faster.

    Depends of there is an older carriage in your train, those are limited to 80mph as far as I understand.

    They bought this route back life maybe they should sort out the ACS-64 so cruise control works properly and no nasty wheel blur.

    But how do you disable the cruisecontrol, it looks like that it only resets after a full stop.

    I think you are supposed make sure its in neutral and throttle is idle then press soft key 2 . Thats then supposed to switch off but it doesn't switch off. But I could be wrong.

    At my first try today, the Amtrak service got stuck on a red signal and didn' move (maybe a bug?). I'll try it again later.

    I actually had no problems with this scenario. Thought it was well-designed. I'm quite impressed with the physics and performance of the HSP46.

    The only issue was towards the end when you pass an Amtrak train on an adjacent track as you enter the Pawtucket sidings. Seems to be too close than it would be in real life. I thought I was going to collide with the other loco.

    If you mean the HSP46, it's limited to 80 mph in service, even though designed for 110.

    It does with with the cab cars and both engines track speed is slower then atc/acses speed.

    Yes, that will happen with a diesel loco on the NEC.

    Thanks for the info shame tho would be good to let them engines open up and hit the 100mph mark.
