Select the type of compressor present on the locomotive.
This is where you can specify the rate the compressor works at.
Is Electric
Define here if the exhauster is electrical or not.
Power Rating (Inches/sec)
This is where you can specify the rate the exhauster works at.
Speed Up Power Rating (Inches/sec)
This is where you can specify how much the exhauster rating is increased when sped up.
Idle RPM (RPM (50 – 2000))
This is the RPM of the loco when idling; i.e. with the throttle at 0.
Max RPM (RPM (500-5000))
This is the maximum RPM of the loco overall.
Max RPM Change per Second
This is how quickly the engine ‘ramps up and down’ in RPM per second
Max Power at Rail
This is the Maximum Drawbar Power after losses to other systems using the resource. This is usually about 70-80% of the Max Power parameter.
Audio RPM Attack Time
This is defined in the Audio Documentation
Audio RPM Hold Time
This is defined in the Audio Documentation
Audio RPM Release Time
This is defined in the Audio Documentation
Gear Box
This area is used to specify details about the units Gearbox.
Gear
Add an entry per gear that is present in the gearbox.
Direct Drive True / False
Specify here if the system is a direct drive gearbox or not?
Max Speed
This is the maximum speed attainable in this Gear.
Maximum Tractive Effort
This is the maximum tractive effort for this Gear.
Engine Braking
Choose from the three available options as to which is appropriate for your locomotive.
Coasting Resistance
This is the resistance of the mechanism while the unit is coasting.
Force for Engine Slowing
This is the resistance of the mechanism while the unit is slowing down.
Automatic True / False
Specify if the gears should change automatically or manually using the Gear Control keys <E> or <Shift E>.
Engine Braking Force
This is the force exerted by the sheer mechanics of the engine itself when no power is applied.
Change Up Point
This is how close to the Max Speed for the specified gear it is possible to change up to the next one. With an Automatic Gearbox, this determines the speed at which the gear change happens.
Change Down Point
This is how close to the Max Speed for that specified gear it is possible to change down to the next one. With an Automatic Gearbox, this determines the speed at which the gear change happens.
Activation Speed
This is the speed at which the Gearbox is activated.
