Is the throttle on the ES44AC strickly a notched system or is there infinite positions between each notch?

I found that on one CN ES44AC that I downloaded it had infinite throttle positions. You could set it at any percentage you wanted from 0 to 100.

I understand that the 8 notches might be the only settings in the real world but to me it sure makes controlling these in RW scenarios a lot easier. I have even modified a couple of my engines to work that way.

Love the versitility even though it might not be prototypical.

The UP units all have a notch 1-8 for power. For dynamic breaking it's smooth, set up-8. I have not run that unit from CN, but the others that I have were set up the same way as the UP units. your best bet would be to ask a CN engineer.
