    Dynamic Brake Issue on Engine - No issue in MSTS

    Hello,
    Last night I was using an SD60 as my lead engine, and when needing to set the Dynamic braking, I couldn't get it to apply past "Setup". This tells me that the keystroke still recognizes it's command; to throw it into setup, but wouldn't increase any further.
    I have no issues in MSTS with this .eng file and Dynamic braking. I am using combined throttle/dynamic control in the .eng file, for ease. My SD40-2's are set up the same way, and they have no issues.

    Here is my throttle/brake section of the .eng file - any ideas??

    EngineControllers (
    Throttle ( 0 1 0.125 0

    Are the db parameters set up the same in the cab file?

      Yes, I did that a ways back in MSTS for all my add-on cabs.
      I wouldn't think it would have worked properly in MSTS if I had missed that, or flubbed up the edit?

        There is a built in delay in OR, to allow for the relays to set up for braking.
        Beer is not a matter of life or death, it is much more serious than that.

          I understand the delay, but this particular engine never gets past "setup", where other engines function as expected.
          I'll giver her another go this weekend, and see is she behaves differently - or if the delay, for whatever reason, is abnormally long in comparison to my other engines.
