In OR NewYear MG rev. 100 a cruise control feature, developed by Jindrich and very slightly adapted by me (proportions of work more or less 99.99% vs 0.01%), is available.
The description of the feature can be found here http://www.interazio...isecontrol.html .
I must confess that, due to the fact that I'm not the author of the feature, I don't know the whole potential of it.
Together with Paolo we are inserting the feature in some Italian electric locos, and the results are quite satisfying. In the next days I have the intention to make available the download links to a demo loco.

Hi, I've been trying to do this since the update came out, and I can't do it, let's see if someone can help me, please
This is the cabin of a high speed train
1-This lever is what controls the maximum speed, it is now at 0, and while the lever advances the preset speed increases, and when it is lowered, it reduces
2-This is the Traction/dynamic brake lever, when the cruise control is active, this lever establishes the power, if the preset speed is at 30, and this lever at 0, the train does not advance, for this it must have at least 1% acceleration. When using the dynamic, the train brakes, since the cruise control actually does is establish a speed limit, not maintain it.
3-This illuminated button is what activates the system, when pressed, it turns on and deactivates the system, if it is pressed again, the system is activated and the light turns off
I have tried to do everything in the ORTS but nothing, and I do not know which cockpit controls to use and I have read the .xls file
I'm also not sure what it can be done, if it can't be done currently, I'd like to suggest that kind of behavior
Thanks in advance

Hi!
I am the author of the CruiseControl. Post me PM, we will solve it. It's just misconfiguration. The CruiseControl is rather complex, that's why.

I assume you downloaded Pack_CruiseControl_Rev1.0.zip from http://www.interazio...ve.it/Downloads . I haven't yet shared this link here, because the readme is at the moment only in Italian.
At the moment, together with Paolo, we are equipping other locos with the CC. After that I should add also an English readme. So you should be a bit patient to get full instructions.
If you know a bit of Italian, you can follow this thread http://www.trainsimh...hp?f=23&t=19058 .
By the way, what keyboard or mouse sequence are you using to try to start the locomotive?

At last there is an English readme for the first Cruise Control content pack.
The pack itself can be downloaded from my usual download page. The pack is Pack_CruiseControl_E464_Rev2.0.zip . At the moment two E464 locomotives, with different TCS interface, are equipped in the pack. The pack includes both the additional files for the TCS and for Cruise Control. If it is desired to try only Cruise Control, TCS operation can be disabled with the available option in the General Options of the OR menu.

Hello.
If ORTSDynamicBrakeForceCurves and ORTSTractionCharacteristics are also in the eng, it doesn't work well. The dynamic brake alternates between Off and 0 very quickly.
