Hi Crestridge and welcome! I've followed some of your posts over the years at PA. Unfortunately there is no manual input version of RDSS - only importing data files from TrackMaster.

For Hong Kong, you could ask about here if anyone has an old Energy program for sale/gift, or perhaps also ValM (Validator Manual version). Then if you can establish the correct segment times from HK data for the call points expected for similar distances in North America NA - perhaps you could enter that into those old programs. Also HK distances in meters are roughly analogous to common NA distances (e.g. 1000m ~= 5f, 1650m ~= 8.3f, etc) though the differences do add some 'drift' to the resulting velocities and compoundings. Maybe manageable?

Best wishes if you try that!

Ted
