Autopilot is not a real train feature, which is instead Cruise Control. Cruise control status display (Auto/man) is available in OR_NewYear MG.
I don't understand what EOT gauge is.
Gradient and train weight could be added.

EOT = End Of Train device.
It is clamped to the rear of the last wagon on a train and has the train brake pipe connected to it. Depending on type of EOT, they transmit via radio signal, information like brake pipe pressure and if the wagon is moving. A receiver in the cab displays to the driver if that wagon is moving and what the brake pipe pressure is at the rear of the train.
Emergency brake application can also be started at the EOT to hasten application throughout the train.

PTC is very annoying when it panics an buzzes you in its warning distance an will stop you with the available stopping distance calculated by available max penalty brake forces on train to be stop behind signal or reduced speed if exceeding 5MPH that was projected to be passed exceeding limits.
The EOT info in post #12 is correct. Some new EOT also can set the brakes to your EQ without air travel through BP taking long when setting up but not when releasing. The counter also does a nice double beep sound when train length marker is reached counterclock wise or clock wise when it's reached your train length.
I like the new odometer feature that I started entering my trains length into the cvf for when I want my odometer to go clockwise if it benefits those that want the counter to stop exactly on train lengths number. But hey engineer manually enter train length based on their paper work.

Good day, not only that its moving but more importantly what direction its moving. When releasing brakes, it tells you if your tail end is running out, backwards.

I cant seem to get Kilometres to work, it keeps display metres
I would like to enter as Kilometres with 3 decimal points eg 53445metres as 53.445
Maybe Kilometers is entered wrong and it defaults to Metres
Anyone use this and can help?

Already in HUD
but would like in cabview
Autopilot On/OFF display
Gradient as a ratio as well as percent (2% - 1:50 )
Consist length
Consist wight/tonnage
EOT gauge
Anyone else support this?
Also from my end it`s a long desired a dedicated cabview control for Autopilot.
Thank you.
