    The ditchlights of the ACS-64 flash at 120BPM, not 80BPM which is the BPM of the bell.

    The Pantograph down button DOES NOT light up red.

    MCB automatically opens if the pantograph goes down first.

    Pantograph goes down automatically if MCB is opened first.

    1) The blower activation sound on the ACS-64 should be audible when in external camera views. Currently, it's muted.

    2) The last blower activation sound for the ACS-64 shouldn't play at 20 mph. So the first blower activation plays at 3mph (which is working correctly in game). The last blower activation should play 6-7 seconds afterward instead at 20mph.

    3) When activating the bell, it should play on both ends of the ACS-64, not just the end the button was pressed on.

    4) When using the low horn with the N key on the keyboard, you should be able to switch to high horn using SPACE, without the horn sound cutting out in between. It should seamlessly transition to the high horn. This also works vice-versa. Meaning if you use the high horn with the SPACE key, you should be able to switch to the low horn with the N key without there being any sound dropout.

    1) Wipers should idle in this position facing outwards. [They are outwards since 2018 as to not block the forward facing camera and to not block the engineers view of the tracks.] (See Wipers.jpg) Wipers.jpg

    2) Reverser positions for Out and Forward should be like this and Nuetral and Reverse should be down again. (See Out.jpg, Forward.jpg, and Reverser.png)

    3) Northeast Regional's have only one Business class located at the end of the train. Not two business class at the front.

    4) ACS-64's F end (Front end) is not always facing forward. Sometimes its the B end (Back end) facing forward. Same thing goes with Amfleets. Though all Amfleets will be facing the same direction, they can be facing forward or backward. This should be implemented as a randomly selected feature.

    5) Marker Light switch controls the end the switch was switched on. [Important because marker lights are turned on when idling at Boston South Station]

    6) Cab Screens can be turned off by holding the Display button for 2-3 seconds.

    7) Cruise Control can be turned on by pressing the 1 button on the cab screens and turned off by pressing the 2 button. [The 'Cruise On' and 'Cruise Off' labels are not shown and will not work when train is under 10mph. The Cruise Control will set to whatever speed you were at when pressing the button]

    8) Throttle/Dynamic handle sounds. ["S_ACS64MasterControllerCentre0#.uexp" and "S_ACS64MasterControllerDown0#.uexp" should play when handle goes into 'Idle'. "S_ACS64MasterControllerBrakeReleaseClick0#.uexp" should play when handle goes out of 'Idle'. "S_ACS64MasterControllerThud0#.uexp" should play when handle goes into 'Full Throttle' or 'Full Dynamic'.

    9) Push button sounds shouldn't play once just the down sound, it should play the down sound and the up sound when let go.

    10) After being stopped by PTS (Positive Train Stop) caused by PTC (Positive Train Control), you can press the button on the rear panel labeled 'Stop Bypass' to acknowledge it and keep moving.

    11) When ditchlights flash, they look like incandescent light bulbs in game. They are LED's. They should not fade.

    12) When horn activates the flashing ditchlights, they shouldn't be stuck on permanently. You should be able to turn off the flashing by moving the ditchlights dial to any other position other than 'Flash'. Same thing goes with putting the reverser in the 'Out' position.

    13) More buttons to play with! [Climate Control] (See Climate Control.png)

    Is the bell linked to the horn on the ACS-64 so every time you sound the horn, the bell rings too?

    The ACS-64 has a horn sequencer. It should work JUST like the F40PH one in game.

    ALL screens in the ACS-64 should be off when the reverser is in OUT or removed. This means nothing in the opposite cab should be on even if everything in the operating cab is on.
