    Cut A Train Some Slack

    Having getting back into this idea from this topic https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showth...ealism-to-MSTS I had some years ago with a couple of issues MSTS handling it, I decided to come back and try it in OR and am happy with the results OR handles coupler stretches that I tried it on one of BEW's and Jeffs Autoracks with some carmen tweaks.

    It seams to be hard to break a knuckle in OR with the break settings set to 2.2e6N Broken Coupler at 495,000ibs due to a big fast slow down in Tractive efforts of what 0.8.0 has to offer (OR idea and way of being CTE mode?), or these GE's don't want to do it by wheel slipping even on sand in low as run6 under 4MPH with tons playing a role in this medium loaded cars as I have tested heavy coal trains which break more often trying to pull then lighter trains



    I have got a couple of ideas up my sleeve to make this a possible OR thing, but other tests need to be made and we need to see how these work when OR impliments buff loadings and derailments.
