OR and the SLI BNSF Dash-9 and E44 locos

[seagoon]

I have no idea if anyone else has come across this so I thought I'd report it.

Irrespective of which menu system is used, when starting an Activity that features, as the Player's loco, the SLI Dash-9s or the ES44s (that are included with the Scenic Sub), I have no access to the cabview, the lights will not turn on or off, the brakes will not release.
This does not happen with any other of the locos included with that route and nor does it happen with the SLI Canadian Pacific ES44s.

When run under MSTS, these faults do not appear.

I experimented with one loco - CW-9 #1033 - by changing the cabview.cvf from BNSF_Dash9.cvf to Dash9.cvf (included with the SLI product) and all was okay.

So maybe there is something in the BNSF_Dash9.cvf causing a disconnect.

Some SLI locomotives have throttle configurations that are not yet supported by OR. The loco must have 8 notch throttle - that's why substituting another standard cvf file fixes the issue.

Thanks, Chris.
You're a wealth of information!

I would like to add that the SLI cabview files are known to have one type of error that MSTS would accept, but OR will not. I am trying to remember, but I believe it is dealing with the throttle settings. If you look at it, the problem should stick right out.
