"RR mods GP40-2 rear DPU's not working." Train simulator 2020 "Railworks"

[tstohlman]

Ok, so I purchased The Railroad mods SP GP40-2 a couple days ago and the middle and rear DPU's dont want to work.

For some reason when I put my train in fow. or rev. the middle and the rear DPU locomotives dont respond. "Dont go into high idle". There is a switch that is capable of being used for middle or rear DPU's, but I cant move it because it is not in the locos script.

So if someone could probably help me or at least have some advice I would deeply appreciate it.

Thanks.

How about you post in the discussion hub of the game you're talking about?

You'd be better off going to RRmods site for help.....

Be sure to set the isolation switch in the other locomotives to run (I key and listen for the click-located on back panel) and the fuel pump and engine run switches to on that are located on the console. On the rear locomotive set the headlights to dim for the rearward facing end. This is one of the best locomotives for TS. When you can get the AC4400.

Shouldn't matter. Most here do not use forum etiquette anyhow.

DP Units This locomotive pack does NOT include any Distributed Power Units or short DPUs.

Locomotives placed at the rear-end of your train will not respond to input from the lead locomotive despite the isolation switch flipped. All locomotives supplied by this locomotive pack will only respond to input from the lead locomotive if directly trailing behind the lead locomotive.

Yes i did that, idk why it dosent run.

Well thanks anyways everyone. I asked them on the YT video and asked them if they could post an update so you can have DPU's at the middle/rear "For everyone wanting it." It is pretty cool having locos at the back and them not running. "Almost all RW locomotives run when there at the middle and the rear."
