I just found something very interesting yet very confusing, If I change the control settings in the game play from Expert to Simple, the train is drivable, If its in Expert the only controls that work are independent brakes, Reverser, Horn, Bell , Wipers, and a few others, but not the throttle or Main brake will work via keyboard. Now I have no freaking clue or idea why that is. But just with a thought and experiment, I figured this out.. !*don-know!*

You just need to go on and get the Searchlight Simulations mod pack for the SD70M-2/ACe and that will solve all of the problems! *!greengrin!* !!*ok*!!

References in the "Inputmapper" folder and the bin files do not match. I have searchlight mods so I can't check the defaults. I may have a back-up to check.

Yeah, well that's what I ended up doing, that solved the problem. Just wonder what caused it to not function via keyboard commands.. I guess we will never know. *!rolleyes!*

Well Thank you all for your help and reply's !*salute*!
