HHPC actually isn’t in the mod. I added that to the list but I decided to keep the HHP8 out.

I worked on one, but I couldn't get the decals to work. Don't plan on adding it anymore.

Fantastic mod! The only issues I have are that the Interior and Exterior sounds play at the same time whem I'm in the cab for both this and the ACS mod. Any suggestions?

You probably have EFX turned off in your settings. Needs to be on to separate them.

A really nice EP although I found a bug and got a suggestion.
The air brakes don't apply until service 30%, from MIN to 30% only dynamic brakes work which then cut out at low speed resulting in no braking action at low speeds unless you use service 30% or greater (Was testing in a yard)
The cab textures could potentially benefit from having the resolution increased, a lot of the text by switches, etc is pretty crispy/pixelated
Also it would be nice if this EP applied to and overwrote the files for the original Acela in order to not need to have to edit scenarios to swap out the original Acelas for the EP version.
