Problem with Raildriver using X2591

I want to reiterate that none of these problems occurs when using X2590; it is only when using X2591 and beyond that I have RD trouble. At first, I thought it might be a cabview problem, but given that everything works as it should using X2590 (within the past 20 minutes) and that I have never had issues with any cabview and OR, this seems not to be the case.
Many thanks,
Gary

I would like to know if the problem is exclusively with the RaildDriver part, so could you please test if everything is all right in your locomotive by using the keyboard A and D keys? (Please test it not using the individual "period" and "comma" control keys for dynamic brake, but rather the combined "A" and "D".) After test we could at least know for sure it is not a general problem with the new logic, and we could ask our developer having the RailDriver to readjust the corresponding code to it.
Edit: After thinking on it, I might provide a fix for activation bug this evening, hopefully. :p

When moving the lever out of the dynamic brake range, the cabview Throttle display remains at "Setup," even as I throttle up and the HUD shows the power percentage increasing. I should add that on one or two occasions, the cabview display did move from "Setup" to "N1" and so on. However, this is definitely the exception rather than the rule.
In sum, there is some positive movement with X2600 though some of the problems I detailed last evening remain.
I really do appreciate the efforts to address this issue.

Hi Peter, Gary
There is possibly 2 problems with using RD on V2600.
The first is unrelated to RD, and shows up in keyboard mode. The second may have to do with the quirkiness of RD that
shows around idle. Other sims also have this problem.
Some background. I dragged my RD out of the closet. When running V2600, with MSTS Marias Pass - Dawn Tank Train could
only display B7 through N7. I am running Windows 8.1 64, and when trying a recalibration with RW calibration routine
which works on a 32bit Win7, had problems. Switched over to an virtual XP machine, using PI's calibration routine was
able to correct that problem.
Without diving into the code. Seem to recall that we take calibration values from cal file and convert them into
percentages. How ever the first problem with the KB needs to be corrected. Below are values that were recorded when
loading MSTS Marias Pass - Dawn Tank Train, and then when in cab view the values for MSTS vs ORTS. The sequence is
just running from Idle down to B8 and back again with reverser in neutral and brake in Continues Service (cs).
OR has 2 percentage setup values, where MSTS has only 1. Need to fix this first before looking at the second problem..

All in all, I am really sorry, but I will not be at my computer anymore this week, so will make the rest of the fixes next week. But I hope the fix must be as simple as to add +1 or -1 somewhere into the formulas.

Yes, it is only the keyboard with a Dash9 as indicated, with the Marias Pass - Dawn Tank Train activity. Did this from an initial load, and only did a run from Idle to B8 and back to Idle. With no RD present.I was not looking specifically at the percentage values, but more at there was two Setup states in the sequence.
