Problem with Arriva class 158 and NWT 158 Cabview

Hi,
Have just downloaded the Arriva class 158 DMU. I found a better cab than the default one namely the NWT Class 158 cab. However when placed for use in the Arriva Train the brakes only have 3 positions. release self lap and emergency instead of the usual % braking in the middle. When in it's own train namely The NWT Class 158 the cab has full % braking as all my other trains have. I have tried matching the engineering files but no luck. Any help gratefully received
Thanks
James

The cab view has no influence on the braking system.
All my Class 158's have the braking system that you describe I assume that the real units have this system.
You just have to work out how to use it and then it is just as efficient as the other methods.

Hi
Thanks for the post. You are of course right but I was tired when I was doing this and because the NWT 158 had a % control I assumed that all the others would. When I put the original cab back on the Arriva version the brakes where the the same. The solution was in the engineering file.
From Arriva 158
Brake_Train ( 0 1 0.0125 0.75
NumNotches ( 5
Notch ( 0 0 TrainBrakesControllerReleaseStart )
Notch ( 0.3 0 TrainBrakesControllerGraduatedSelfLapLimitedStart )
Notch ( 0.7 0 TrainBrakesControllerGraduatedSelfLapLimitedStart )
Notch ( 0.9 0 TrainBrakesControllerContinuousServiceStart )
Notch ( 0.95 0 TrainBrakesControllerEmergencyStart )

From NWT 158
Brake_Train ( 0 1 0.0125 0.75
NumNotches ( 5
Notch ( 0 0 TrainBrakesControllerReleaseStart )
Notch ( 0.3 1 TrainBrakesControllerGraduatedSelfLapLimitedStart )
Notch ( 0.85 0 TrainBrakesControllerSuppressionStart )
Notch ( 0.9 0 TrainBrakesControllerContinuousServiceStart )
Notch ( 0.95 0 TrainBrakesControllerEmergencyStart )

Just a slight alteration gives you back the % brake control back
Thanks
