    Why has the HUD control for the HST, class 319 and classes 158/159 changed from a separate throttle and train brake control to the (in my opinion) overly sensitive combined control that too easily slips into braking when all I want to do is take the throttle off and coast ???
    Have I inadvertently changed something or is this a result of TS2021? If so, how do I get back to TS2020?
    I know the purists will sneer at using the HUD at all, but I like to see the scenery without having to worry too much about driving. The combined throttle/brake control would be alright if there was a "notch" effect before dropping into braking, but there isn't.

    Sounds like the option for "simple controls" has been set somehow
    Look in options and uncheck this and you'll get the full controls back

    Very many thanks for that AR
    Had been getting same problem with both Simple and Expert controls and so been looking at other possible causes and came to conclusion that TS2021 must have brought them into line with other locos with the combined control.
    Zeroing in on the answer you gave, I have just revalidated 91 files ?! Must have upset it somehow.
    Now looking fine with Expert controls so thanks once again.
