On AC locomotives there is not an ammeter, just a tractive effort meter, since with AC motors there is no risk of burnout due to over current. Is there any way to get the ammeter in the cab to show tractive effort in Klb? If not, is there a way to trick the program into showing amps as tractive effort? Or are the amps related to the power of the locomotive?I also have some AC4400-CTE cab photos including screens.
Yes, there is a way. In fact, I've done it myself. The sim does contain the proper coding for a TE display, as the default Acela has one.Here is a pic of the TE display I added to the NALW-modded version of the default Dash 9 cab.
