Hi friends !I made a cab for a new Diesel-loco and wanted to use the throttle-lever of the Dash9. But it doesn´t move and so I copied the whole Dash9-cab to that new loco but the Lever also doesn´t move.
What´s wrong ? Is there a special entry in the *.eng file or somewhere else which I need for using the lever ?best regards,cube

Cube,Yeah, there is a problem with the Dash 9 combined power lever (throttle and dynamic brake). It seems that whenever you change something in the Dash 9 cab, the positions for the lever all change to zeroes, making the lever appear in Notch 8 all the time. To fix this, simply copy this line into the "Position" line of the dash9.cvf file under "CP_HANDLE COMBINED_CONTROL" and your problem should be solved.NumPositions ( 18 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 )
