    Sorry you didn't have any luck.
    I don't understand why it is looking for a VHID in the "driveable RVM". My RVM doesn't have any VHID's as they are all in the RVV
    and the only things that are close (in the RVM) are the three Interaction Environments (Driver, Fireman (Conductor) and Engine).

    You say you've put a throttle in but is that in the RVM or RVV ?
    Perhaps it will help if I include photos of the RVM and RVV setups with emphasis on the Regulator which is the steam equivalent of throttle.

    First the RVM where the regulator is an Irregular Lever Component (which allows you to set up detents etc). You will also see the interaction Environments but all the controls are simply levers or push buttons.
    The output from these levers is passed to the Simugraph in the Event Graph of the RVM.

    Secondly the RVV . This where the Regulator VHID is and it is linked to the bone in the Cab Skelton on the right hand side (Details panel)
    It is also linked to the Irregular Lever in the RVM (lower down in the Details panel and not in photo).

    The Event graph of the RVV passes the output of the VHID's to the Cab Animation Blueprint so the relevant bones move when you operate the controls. As far as I know the Simulation is not interested in the visible loco (RVV) and is driving the "invisible" RVM during the game .

    I think you have to work on each control in your RVM and RVV side by side before you can get anything working in the Editor . It looks like your simulation is looking for something from the RVM to tell it what to do (perhaps the RVM races off at full throttle to the end of the track and derails !!? ). The scenario manager says the train has derailed but is not being driven !!

    If you think I can help (now or in the future) with the set up of the RVM / RVV / Simugraph "trinity" let me know as I'm happy to do that.
    I said to someone on another thread that I was considering a tutorial but, as you know, all these things take time.

    Sorry if this has turned into a bit of a "lecture" (not my intention) and hope you manage to get to the bottom of what's going on.
    Good luck!

    Don't worry about the "lecture," your advice is quite helpful and I really appreciate the help! I think you may be right about double-checking the VHIDs are set up and where they should be. We'll my break's over, back to work for me!
