    Right now with the MBTA F40ph-3c and the cab car, we can only acknowledge the alerter with the controller. To acknowledge an ATC alarm, we have to press the button in the cab. When playing without hud it is really hard to hit the button, especially when you try to focus on braking and your speed. This has lead into many emergency stops, where I didn't manage to press the button in time.
    Since we already have the shift button for the german safety systems, it's weird that we haven't got that feature for the ATC. My suggestion is, that the ATC acknowledge-button would be made same as the PZB-release on the german locos (shift + right dpad). It would make it so much easier to drive the train and use the safety systems, as you don't have to panic about finding the button.

    Ah, is that why when I tried it out and despite hitting the xbox B button ended up in a heap ? Fully agree this button should acknowledge all safety systems (like on UK routes it does AWS and DSD)
