The control trailer from the CTN website causes a crash when you try to start OR or change cabs from the driving motor car to the driving trailer car.
Log files attached.
In addition the SME brake system no longer works when driven from the motor car. Applying the SME brake does not increase the brake pipe pressure in the straight air pipe or in the brake cylinders. Only the emergency air brake is working.

There have been two changes to the SME brake systems.

SME brakes were working correctly in U2022.03.03-0821

in the next version

U2022.03.11-0851
SME brake application increases pressure in brake cylinders
SME brakes will not release - pressure in BC does not reduce

then from

U2022.11.01-0951
SME brake application has no effect at all.

until present time.

The control car causing a crash seems to date back to January 2023.

Last not crashing version of OR - U2023.01.14-1706

First crashing version of OR - U2023.01.15-0151

This only seems to be an issue for this control car (SME brakes).

Other types of electric, diesel electric and diesel mechanical control cars with air brakes, vacuum brakes or EP brakes do not seem to have any problems.
