    OR Steam

    Wow!!!



    The only issue is that when the train is moving the smoke still leads the train. Most noticeable in profile and passing views.

      You have to adjust the effects point of emission in the eng file. If this is correct, there is no forward movement of the display, and very little rearward movement. You might also want to reduce the orifice size a bit too.

      Beer is not a matter of life or death, it is much more serious than that.

          In the position parameter, how do you determine which parameter is which? I know one number is the elevation, one is the forward/back position and the other is the side to side position. Which is which?

          Given that OR is a work in progress, it is my hope that it will not be necessary to modify every locomotive in the trainset folder except to get an occasional particular effect. I can be patient and experiment with individual cases. OR just keeps getting better and better.

            Now we need to get several several sets of exhaust parameters -- at least two -- for summer heat and winter cold 'cuz those screenshots you took look spot on for winter... a quite wrong for mid August heat.

            Seldom visiting, posting less often that that.

              The position line runs as X ( centre line ) with negative numbers being left of the line, Y ( height ), and Z ( forward/backward ). These are distances from the model point of origin. With the second line these again are X,Y,Z but affect the direction of the effect. The 1 in the centre is straight up.

              Far as modifying the eng file goes, OR is a bit more particular than MSTS where data is concerned. I think that if you look at the same effect in both sims you will see that MSTS treats the smoke/steam in a different way than OR.

                Might not be as easy to do. There will still be smoke whatever the temperature, so will probably need different smoke effects ace files for different temps.
