I was writing an activity with a UP911 as the engine. The track speed limit was 79mph, but I found that I was never able to reach this speed since the emergency brake always appled at somewhere between 72 and 75 mph.I looked at the .eng file for the 911 and the b-units and found that the MaxVelocity parameter for all of the variations was specified as 92 mph. Is there some other parameter which is causing the emergency to be applied at the lower speed?Bob
