    This map seems a mess! Mission "to the Beach", I'm unable to accelerate to more than 15mph in throttle 4. When finally making the first station stop, after locking doors and attempting to take power, speedometer goes nuts and engine shuts down entirely. I recycled all controls, recharged brakes, still unable to move. Any ideas or similar problems?

    Are you running the class 08?

    If so, the brakes need to be changed from Air to Vac then released. This will solve your problem.

    It has happened to everyone since the class 08 came out on TVL and accidentally ended up on WSR!

    The Speedo is going nuts because you are trying to pull away with brakes applied and it is drawing too much current.
