I noticed that when I apply the sand with the key " X " on but the message on top left said " Sander blocked " which cause so many wheel slips. Guess that this need to be fixed before the next update.

Hi John,
Some locos have a maximum speed for the sander.

Wagon ( CSX_DASH9#9002 ) Type ( Diesel ) MaxPower ( 3263kW ) MaxForce ( 650.65kN ) MaxContinuousForce ( 550kN ) RunUpTimeToMaxForce ( 30.0 ) comment( thats the usable one, full capacity is 5300gal ) MaxDieselLevel( 4720gal ) MaxVelocity ( 74mph ) MaxCurrent ( 1800A ) comment( the range of the load meter is 0 to 1800Amps with motoring in green and 0 to 1200A with braking in yellow) comment( air gauge graph: 40-120psi) WheelRadius ( 21in ) comment( sanding system is switched off when faster than given velocity ) Sanding ( 6mph )

Could you be exceeding a speed that may be set in your .eng file?

Hi John,

I just changed the max speed for the sander in all of my eng files to 50mph to get around that problem.
I used Route Riter.
