I downloaded the Norfolk Southern Dash9 Pack and have noticed a little quirk. In cabview mode the combined power handle does not move to reflect the postion changes I input. Also the digital throttle display is locked at run 8. I can still use the A and D buttons for throttle changes and the simulator responds accordingly but I have to use the period(.) and comma(,) keys for dynamic braking. I would like to have these locos work as the default Dash9's do. Is there a fix to this problem that anyone is aware of? Any help would be appreciated.

Look at the engine file near the bottom after you pass the dynamic brake script.You should see a line that reads,Combined_Control( 0 1 0.5 0.5 throttle dynamic ).If it's not put that line in there as it is typed here and that should fix the problem.It should look like this in the file.Combined_Control ( 0 1 0.5 0.5 throttle dynamic ).This line should be placed above the line that states:DirControl ( -1 0 1 1 )With this adjustment you'll be able to use the A and D keys to control the throttle and dynamics.This should also solve the problem with the throttle handle not moving.
