Apr-20-02, 01:47 PM (EDT) "HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hey people, I have a problem :Just noticed, while correcting the .s file of my dash8/9s :If I set the reverser to "FWD" and set the throttle to "100 %", the engine accelerates a bit under normal conditions...BUT !!!!!If I set the reverser to "RWD" and set the throttle to "100 %",
THE ENGINE IS IN 2 SECONDS from 0 mph to 100 mph and is going to break the light-speed-wall in the next minute...PLUS :
If set the throttle to 100 % FORWARD again after the 100 % BACKWARD , the engine goes on with accelerating...
No matter if I pull the emergency brake and set the throttle to 100 % FORWARD, the engine keeps on accelerating...It's unbelievable... I guess it has to do with the .eng file, because if I take my "E-8 .eng file", all works ok, but if I take mine .eng files (C44-9W is default and C40-8 is by "Plainsman") I get this light-speed breaking engine...PLEASE HELP ME, or we CAN'T release the engines...Jens-Chris----------

Apr-20-02, 08:38 PM (EDT) 4. "RE: HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Yeah, just remove the RunUpTimeToMaxForce line completely, it's a weird bug in that line, shame though makes it harder to model the loading.

Apr-22-02, 04:40 PM (EDT) 11. "RE: HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Actually Gentlemen this bug has been in MSTS since the beginning! The solution is not to shift into reverse while you are moving forward which is the most common cause.....
you should be completely stopped and then shift into reverse by shifting into neutral and then shifting into reverse...
This is how the 12"/Ft boys do it so it is prototypical....
I know you can switch from Forward to Reverse on your Rivarossi HO plastic engine but this is a simulator.... LOL!------Chuck Schneider---------

LAST EDITED ON Apr-22-02 AT 05:59 PM (EST)No, this bug will screw up your operations regardless of whether you stopped the engine or not.By the way, I have seen a GP15-1, moving about 5 mph, throttle up and move the opposite direction without stopping.

Apr-20-02, 10:08 PM (EDT) 5. "RE: HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" That is the line I removed in the new set, as well as reducing the RPM change rate to compensate.

Apr-21-02, 02:16 AM (EDT) 6. "RE: HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" As far as I can tell, the DieselEngineMaxRPMChangeRate affects nothing but sound and presumably smoke. There really is nothing you can do to simulate correct slow loading AND still be able to back the engine up safely. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Apr-21-02, 10:58 AM (EDT) 7. "RE: HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hmmm. Well, I consulted the Psychic Friends Hotline on this one, and she says "Your Karma is totally screwed now. That's what you get for fooling around with them diseasels, get back to work on that Big Boy and finish it, that will restore your luck."
BTW, I notice it's 16 now instead of 15, did I miss a birthday party? Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Apr-21-02, 11:17 AM (EDT) 8. "RE: HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The Big Boy needs a CAB !!!
Since "the other group" denied permission to use their cab and sounds...It would have been released long time ago, if TA hadn't denied permission...
So sorry, we just need a cab...Problem solved with Dash8/9 set : Just deleted the line...BTW, my birthday was on 9th April (year 1986)...Jens-Chris----------
