I've downloaded a locomotive and changed a bit on it to make it more powerfull plus that I inserted a dash 9 cab. The prob is that when I start an activity with the locomotive and then slowly decrease the train brakes, all the pressure in the breaking system goes down to zero! EP, BP and Main goes down. It takes a while to get the pressure up to it's normal and I can't use the brakes at all when the pressure is at zero...anyone know what to do?

RE: Braking problems

Open your .eng file and look for the following section:Brake_Train ( 0 1 0.0125 0.75
NumNotches ( 5
Notch ( 0 0 TrainBrakesControllerReleaseStart )
Notch ( 0.3 1 TrainBrakesControllerGraduatedSelfLapLimitedHoldingStart )
Notch ( 0.85 0 TrainBrakesControllerSuppressionStart )
Notch ( 0.9 0 TrainBrakesControllerContinuousServiceStart )
Notch ( 0.95 0 TrainBrakesControllerEmergencyStart )
)
)In the line that starts with Notch ( 0.3 1 look to see if the word "holding" is between Limited & Start. If not, insert it there.Cyndi
