NS Big 7s project

The ditch lights work fine, I just have to manually turn them on and the throttle handle is in the way. I'm just bummed the windows and doors don't open on all of them. I LOVE the horn.

Be sure to actually do a shutdown and coldstart at least once on these. The startup sounds are wild.

Besides if you just have the reverser at zero you can push the throttle out of the way and do the ditch lights. No worries.

So as I understand it, everything works as it should on the TaD version but not the steam version?

Ok here's my list of what seems wrong. These were downloaded through Steam and is while using Simple Controls.

All three C36-7s and low nose B36-7:
- Doors and windows do not open
- Platform lights won't switch on
- Cab lights won't switch on
- Can't turn on ditch lights until throttle handle is moved
- Throttle/brake only work in 25% increments
- Should flashing ditch lights activate on horn???

B36-7 high nose:
-Platform lights work but kill FPS
-Throttle/brake only work in 25% increments

None of this is really anything serious to me, just a nuisance really.

I assume you have to use it in expert mode to get all that. Windows and doors working fine over here.

"- Platform lights won't switch on"

Do you know where the switch is?

All that stuff works here also.

Window and doors open seen from either inside or out.

I'm assuming expert mode needs to be used in order the make the locomotive fully functional. Why use simple mode anyways?

[NStrains]

Only reason I use simple controls is it makes it easier for me to get good screen shots! haha

On the high nose B36, everything works just fine. It's the other 4 that have the issues.

[NStrains]

Tested everything out on expert controls and all works just fine with that.

So it's just a matter of simple vs expert controls. Except for the high nose B36, everything works in either mode.

Just purchased the pack (German version) on Trains and Drivers and noticed some problems:

1. In the scenario "At the NS´s Beat Part 1" I passed over Brown Main 2 having a yellow signal and needed to stop at Redstone Creek East Lead South with a red one. As NS-3603 is standing on the other side of the bridge and is not going to clear. So I am not able to reach the next destinations, I waited until 6:58 pm when I should reach destination 10.

2. "The Horse Power": The operation you should perform, where the train broke drown, is a normal stop. If you pass the signal or couple to the train you will get a penalty.

3. The speed displayed on the speedometer, differs to the one on the HUD. Driving 25.5 mph on HUD it shows about 20 mph and 15 mph showing as 9-10 mph, ... (On all units except the ex NW and ex CR C36-7's)

4. The horns on all units are pretty quiet compared to the one used on the B36-7 High Nose.

Only what I noticed so far, hope it helps to make the addon even better.
Except this, I really enjoy driving this beasts. Fantastic addon
