Happend to me that I fixed it by giving it a new cabview file and tweaked the eng file in the engine controler sections to make dynamics work properly by not getting stuck.

Yes,that fixes it,in case anyone else runs into the same thing.Thanks UP 4848 thunder!

You wouldn't perchance be willing to share exactly what it was in the eng file that you "tweaked" would you?

While we are talking eng files.....

For engines fron dash 9 and later

I noticed that an 44dc loco wanted to wheelspin going up a hill.

Numwheels should be set to 4 (the second occurance was already set to 4)
Antislip ( 1 ) added

That will fix the wheelspin problem.
All of the IA's need to be fixed as well.

I too and interested in the dynamic tweak?

Thought you weren't going to buy any payware with flaws


Yeah, I could fix them myself, but I have this thing about buying merchandise where the manufacturer knows there's a problem and yet does nothing to fix it. Why should I?

Gee, it seems as if I already have several SLI GE units from other packs that won't load in OR. I was asking in order to get what I already own to work!

If u have BNSF route all u have to do is change the cab view entry to Dash 9.cvf (and of course u need that file in the cabview folder) that will get the locos to show up and run but dynamic brake needs to be fixed separately

My post before this will fix the dynamics into working properly without getting stuck in OR.

You are absolutely right and thanks for both fixes very much.
