    I mean the old with the UK diesels with no screens whatsoever, you can say they are fully simulated. But for example the modern American GE or EMD locomotives or German ICEs seem to have entire full parts of their electronic displays not operational(many buttons are also not really clickable on many German cabs). The most you can do with an American locomotive from the screen for example is the cut in the brakes and make the locomotive the lead, meanwhile the real life screen probably offers a lot more things to do and parameters to see.

    No from the US side of things because PTC is a pain to simulate in game.

    Isn't it simulated in Run8?

    Yes, the expert 101 will have all displays fully working eventually

    That would be great, but DTG have said that EBuLa would require significant changes to routes, to include all the necessary information.

    Every time you try and operate these weird black controls that are labelled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up in black to let you know you've done it.

    Yep, you are right, EBuLa wont... At least not for the forseeable future... But all the rest of the loco displays with all menus plus sub menus are there and ready to explore. Keeps me busy since the release of this DLC...
