Has anyone noticed that the Metro-North Kawasaki M8 is locked into DC mode when starting out in a Quick Drive overhead AC section of the NEC New York - New Haven route?

Switching to AC OH mode doesn't work. Only works in DC mode even though it shouldn't...

There are so many bugs with this DLC pack, it's not even worth mentioning at this point. HOWEVER, your issue shouldn't be the case, considering that for quick drive, they allow you to choose between starting modes (AC or DC). If you're starting in the AC section, you have to select from the consists that are tagged "overhead." If you start in the DC section, then select from the consists that are not tagged "overhead."

The only issue after that is once you do make the mode change between Pelham and Mount Vernon, the propulsion sounds will not play when the train is accelerating.

Thanks for the help on this.

On my QD consist lists it says either "3rd-Rail" or "Pantograph" which i managed to mixed up when choosing them. Got it working now. I also have the propulsion bug though when switching between the two modes.
