I'm getting ready to start working on a cab for the S-12 class 0-6-0 that I've been working on. The problem is that there wasn't much thought given to oil burning locomotives by the people at Kuju. I imagine I can use the shoveling rate to simulate the effect of the firing valve (oil flow) but what about the controls on the fireman's manifold. Particularly the valve that controls the steam pressure to the atomizer, there are a couple more but I don't have them quite memorized yet. Also how would I animate a control for the firing valve, since there is no animated control for the shoveling rate or any of the other valves. Also how would I specify for oil instead of coal in the .eng file. I know how to make the changes to the .eng file, but would the game be receptive to something besides fuel diesel, fuel water, or fuel coal.www.sacramentolocomotiveworks.com
