NALW Gas turbine problems

[JorgeCerezo]

Hi,

Does the NALW Gas turbine addon work correctly with OR?

I have the following problems:

The locomotive produces a lot of smoke and the screen turns black.

The cab handles don't display correctly.

Can these problems be fixed?

Regards,

Jorge

I believe the smoke problem can be fixed with Markus Gelbmann's Diesel Smoke Updater.

I believe the smoke problem can be fixed with Markus Gelbmann's Diesel Smoke Updater.

What is it called, downloadable from where ?

MSTS / ORTS Diesel Smoke Updater (DSU). Utility to upgrade MSTS and ORTS diesel locomotive .ENG files to smoke settings, that will look good in ORTS latest X releases with the new smoke code. Downgraded derivative of Diesel Power Updater (DPU). By Markus Gelbmann.

Thanks, Charles.

What you have posted is what makes it easier to download whatever and not just a name which may or may not have been spelled correct, not knowing where to search for it !

P.S.: What effect does changing MSTS engine files for use by ORTS have when running such locos in MSTSBin, I am happy with how they look, drive, brake and how they smoke ?

Bear in mind there´s a newer version of DPU (Diesel Power Updater) available in the file library, which lets you set up custom "smoke profiles" to use with different types of locomotives. take a look at the file library, searching for dpu_vx3_0.zip (sic).

BTW, how did you do that link-work, Charles? Seems like an awful lot of hand editing to get it that way...

My question about how all these many edits to loco files have affected their running and smoke exhausts in MSTSBin has not yet been answered.

Has anybody applied them to some locos and has then tested them running in MSTSBin ?

[baldwin]

The smoke settings in MSTS do not suit OR and OR settings will give very reduced or no smoke in MSTS. As for running, no problems.

[markus1996]

Exactly what baldwin said: You should still be able to run your locos in MSTS (except if something went wrong, which can happen with certain few .ENG configurations still). They will, however, produce little to no smoke.

An option to create ORTS-specific engine files during the update is already on the wishlist and will be included in the next release. THus, these intercompatibility problems should be averted by then

Cheers, Markus

Does this locomotive have wheelslip in OR?

Having looked at the eng file, this locomotive will have 13% adhesion in MSTS. However, it is developing 40% in OR without wheelslip.
