I wonder if you can make it so that the 379 cab doesn’t have the DC third rail option and if you’re able to get rid of those buttons. That and we could have a destination patch for the class 379?
Hi, I have no plans for any of this, sorry.
Hi, any chance you could update the patch to be compatible with the latest AP update. Thanks Fred
Hi, compatibility shouldn’t have broken with any AP updates, but a new version of the patch has just been released anyway to include some other minor improvements.
Thanks for this patch makes the 379 more relastic
Glad you like it 🙂
