    Would it be possible to add the speed limiter system that the class 801s have in real life. I think it would be really helpful on a route with long sections of 125mph running. If the 800EP for TS classic has it. We can have it in TSW APC800EP_16-1024x576.png

    I don't think the Class 801s have a cruise control in real life - but they do have an electronic thing that stops you going above 126 mph.
    This is how it is in game as well.

    Yes, must admit I was poking around the cab looking for the CC.

    Interesting!
    Well DTG said that they 801s don't have a speed set, and so they didn't make one... I wonder what the reality is.

    I'm investigating to find out what the reality is and will talk to setup team about any potential changes - not here to make promises, other than that i'm looking into it :)

    Ive heard they are in a 800 series unit in real life and on TS, it’s actually meant to be on the right screen but is moved in TS to central screen for player experience reasons, from what I’ve heard.

    They do have a cruise control but it is accessed via the computer on the right (TMS)

    I don't own it so don't know if the computer has any functionality.

    The only way I know to get the 124 mph speed limiting is if you are on a pc and can dl the mod that does it.
