Hi Afirus. Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately they do not apply to the engine model I am driving in the scenario - the engine is TGV DCR Thalys PBKA 2017. I believe it is a repaint of SNCF TGV from the DoveTail KarlsruheStrasbourg add-on. See attached screenshot of engine from front running in-game. The SNCF TGV manual in the DoveTail LGV Rhône-Alpes & Méditerranée: Lyon – Marseille add-on seems to apply here BUT the pantograph controls are different - see attached driver's desk image for the PBKA engine. The pantograph 'tension' knob (right) has many letters, L F GV F D CH, which I assume relate to country or line 'codes'. But I do not know which one to select with confidence for any situation. Which one for Dutch non-high speed lines (1.5kv) and then high speed line (25kv)? I can guess that some of the letters are for Switzerland (CH) and Germany (D) but am I right? And what is the full meaning of each of them? By the way, I have tried various combinations but can not get the train to exceed 100km/h on the Dutch HSL. Many thanks.

Hi. Just started using Netherlands routes and scenarios and having fun. I have a question. Where can I find detail description of pantograph selection and tension settings - I can't find this anywhere. I can see Pantograph selection with L S N O options (nearly matching 'normal' TGVs on other routes) and tension options L F GV F D CH. Obviously these are related to country/line voltage and AC/DC arrangements but I have no idea what to set first on Netherlands Amsterdam line, and then for HSL. Any guides available does anyone know? Many thanks. Great scenario.
