   - End wagons have the extra chopper on the roof

   - Two new master destinations ONLY available in the ICNG : Antwerpen-Centraal and Brussel-Zuid/Midi

   - Voltage options for Belgian 25kV and 3kV systems

- Adjusted the 3100 and 3200 versions to have the new more yellow nose, to match the actual trains now in service

- Added some power to traction as the original was a little slow compared to the real thing

- In the cab:

    - Fixed the "always on" traction block indicator on the right MFD screen

    - Fixed the high voltage indicator on the right MFD screen

    - Fixed the 'door closed' light so it's mostly white

    - Removed the central door control button as it is now deleted from the real train

    - Fixed the wheel slip light (it was mistakenly associated with the holding brake)

- New more prototypical cruise control function

   - behaves more as a speed limiter now

   - the throttle now determines the amount of power the cruise system can use

   - braking does not disengage the cruise limiter but DOES override the cruise calculated brakes

   - you MUST have throttle for the cruise system to be able to accelerate

   - New shortcuts for the MFD screen controls (CTRL-0 to CTRL-9)

   - C and Y shortcuts re-assigned to MFD buttons 8 and 7

   - if the cruise system is turned off while the throttle is engaged, a throttle reset is required

   - Method (a) for setting cruise: open the cruise screen on the MFD, throttle to zero, pick a speed on the MFD (CTRL1-CTRL6), click the accept button on the MFD (CTRL-8 or C), throttle to power

   - Method (b) for setting cruise: open the cruise screen on the MFD, throttle to zero, click the cruise accept button on the MFD to lock in the current speed (CTRL-8 or C), throttle to power

PLEASE NOTE:

 

  • The developer has tried to make these updates as backward-compatible as possible, but due to the nature of the updates there are certain features which will no longer work, including any scenario where the player has to couple two different consists together as part of the scenario (this won't work because in many cases the internal wagon numbers have changed to accommodate pre-set destinations), and scenarios that start with the train already in motion.
  • There is an extremely high chance that older repaint packs will not work after this update. This is because of the sheer number of changes to controls in the cabs that the older repaint files will not contain. Customers should NOT try to re-install older repaint packs after this update until the authors of those packs have had chance to bring their repaints into compatibility.
  • As this is a major update, all activation keys will be reset to zero (10 activations remaining)
