When you say the throttle (CPH) is stuck, do you mean it stays in one position only and does not move to match the notch readout?If so, open the .cvf file and look for the below line in the section marked Type ( CP_HANDLE COMBINED_CONTROL ):NumPositions ( 18 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 )and change it to:NumPositions ( 18 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 )Cyndi

RE: problem here
Looked in the CVF, it says the exact same thing as above. The CPH works fine in MLT's Dash but not in another loco, which originally used a normal throttle not CPH. The handle is stuck in one position that looks like full power but it says idle. Could the problem be in the .eng file where it says throttle?

Chris:
The problem is not in the engine file. Are you trying to add CPH Control to a cab that originally had seperate throttle and dynamic brake levers? If so the .cvf file will have to be modified to combine the two.Cyndi

You need the following line in the .eng file Combined_Control( 0 1 0.5 0.5 throttle dynamic )
DirControl ( -1 0 1 1 )
BellToggle( 0 1 0 )
Sanding ( 0 1 0 )
Horn ( 0 1 0 )I've added some following lines to show you where to put it.Regards,Jonl
