Diesel's West Locomotives

[poochwilly]

Just curious. Is there any way to fix the way the exhaust looks like in DW Loco's.file:///C:/Users/Poochwilly/Pictures/Open%20Rails/Open%20Rails%202014-03-06%2005-56-32.png

What version of ORTS was the pic taken from?

[poochwilly]

ORTS version x.2065, and it does the same in x.2085. Would like to change some values in the engine file but not sure what to change them to. It's strange just locomotives from diesels's west do this. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Poochwilly

I'd change the smoke rates down a bit messing with them and max magnitudes or get a less intense dieselsmoke ace.

There is a bug report sent in to the OR team for this and is being worked on. In fact I need to get back to them once I try the latest X release later today.

For a detailed explanation of adjusting .eng file parameters for exhaust see:

Alex, I read through your bug reports, and the new X-release isn't going to fix the issue, unfortunately, since the problem is with the .eng files themselves...

I recommend using the above reference, and starting with the same values as the default SD40-2, which tends to look good, but keep the nozzle size parameter as-is.
