Ignoring speed limits doesn't work.

[213 001-1]

Dear railway friends!

When building the activity, I set a section of the route so that the speed limit should be ignored. However, when trying out the activity in OR, this setting did not work.

How can I make ignoring the speed limit work?

Thank You for Your answers.

There are several speed settings in play...(Based on my research)...there's wagon limits, route limits, consist limits to give a few examples.

When I was developing the 2012 Amtrak's Southwest chief from Chicago to LA, activity. I had recreated a typical Amtrack consists, using files available here on trainsim. I couldn't figure out why my passenger train would not exceed freight train limits for the first two segments. it wasn't until I was staring at the consist file in a consist editor that I notices that the baggage cars and the package express cars were classified as "freight". changing those to the passenger equivalent allow the consist to proceed at Passenger speed.

Another time I wanted to institute a "slow order" of 10 MPH. in an area. but the route only allows one slow order speed. so you couldn't set a slow speed for say....crossovers, and another for a work-area on the track.....

The point is, that this setted ignorance of a speed limit works in the MSTS, but not in the OR.
