ATP Speed limiter problems. erratic activation.

[Robert2d6]

I have been running a new route that I downloaded this week, New York to Boston, which has a bunch of AI trains running on the route and you can take over any one of them and run it yourself. In the session rules for this route, ATP speed limiter is one of the rules. The rule is set so that it will trigger at 10mph over the speed limit. I have had the speed limiter kick in and apply the brakes, going 20 in a 20 mph zone, 80 in an 80 MPH zone, 65 in a 75 mph zone, etc. This doesn't happen all the time, but often enough to be really annoying so I finally edited the session and removed the rule, since I always monitor my speed carefully anyway.

My question is, is this a bug in TS12, in other words is this typical behavior for this rule?

From memory that rule is primarily for AI trains.

It seems to work with any train, if I place a consist on a route, and set that rule for 5 mph over the speed limit, when I hit 6 mph over the speed limit it will take the Loco Control HUD away, shift into neutral and apply the brakes.

That's interesting to know. I've only ever used it with AI trains.
