Asura has crossed the lines - he really thinks we are a bunch of stupid kids.
The first answer must be cracking the DT.dll and incorporating its content into 4.12
it must be a priority
From a dirty look inside the files, this dll interacts with the AI, the FM and the trackIR system:

com_maddox_rts_TrackIRWin_nDTVersion
com_maddox_rts_TrackIRWin_nDestroyDT
com_maddox_rts_TrackIRWin_nGetAnglesDT   

The DLL itself seems to be obfuscated in some way as both VB decompilers and NET decompilers do not recognize it, although by renaming it 7z instead of dll, one can see that the structure is a classic Windows Portable Executable.   
I'm sorry that this is the limit of my computing knowledge, but we have quite a number of professionals here, and I'm sure that they can find a way to decompile it or bypass it.

The second step is of course to identify the still unidentified 25% content of the files.sfs archive

I can't understand, why the SAS still argues with TD. In this way SAS assigns a part to TD, that TD has  lost for quite some time: to serve the community on the whole. So:

The answer is to just carry on developing modded 4.12.2

I've said it before, I'll say it again! 412.2m and CUP is the way forward. Let's import whatever looks interesting from 413.1, and stop wasting our time with egotistical wannabes...

In fact the filename is dt.dll.

Best regards - Mike

Thanks! But what does the dt.dll do?

... basically, it porks a free modder's/player's life, by rendering many previously perfectly working mods, totally incompatible with the new patch ... 

Technically, since I am totally incompetent, you'd better read this ...

I thank and congratulate the author of the code that allows to run the locomotives wheels!
This code works fine in 409. 
I am surprised that the procedure "danger" is empty. It works very well in the pack of wcat's trains.

[Mick]

... well in fact, ladies & gents, Epervier is too modest to reveal that "danger" is a new nightly java class he made to allow a SAS loco driver to automatically switch off his lights, whenever the dreaded DT DLL is flying around at night ... 

What's funny is that DT borrowed that new class and put it in the ... "Wagon.class", where it does ... nothing ...! 

I can now confirm that Epervier's "danger" class and new DT's moving wheels can perfectly work together, which after FM's Sunderland, is another proof that when cooperation is under way ... 

But well, that's another story ...

And these at Bananaforum smacked and banned me for less offensive ideas.
Where is that Yuri who banned me, now that we can have full pants and group love
I really insist in getting the ashtray Mod for the Galland Pimp Bf109 Cockpit.

I have begun to notice many people installing into their modded 4.13 games
airplanes that only flew when using the 4.09 game-version 

Has DT and this patch-413 gone backwards in game coding?
I dont understand.

Hi ! I did not notice, probably because I don't use my 4.13 install for now ; but I remember that the same thing happened with 4.12. Some mods for 4.10/4.11  had lost compatibility with 4.12 new code, but 4.09 versions could be used without problem. But it may rise another question, about compatiblity between 4.09, 4.12 and 4.13
