V4.86OR Physics for Alco Century series

[plainsman]

I just uploaded a small set of V4.86OR files for the Alco Century Series locomotives. These did not have auto sanding or computerized traction control, so the conventional settings ought to fit them nicely. Again, I am viewing these files as an experimental set to get the community to comment. Please let me know if you get any unexpected issues from these settings?
BTW, Nels if you see this, I mistakenly uploaded the first file without the instructions, and with a few unfinished lines. Please use the second file only.

The two files that are in the library today both have errors in them. I PMed Nels hoping he would pull those before they got in the library. There is another file, it may be labeled 2nd edition that should be in the library tomorrow. It is the one to download.

Bob, are these for use with any of the MSTS "Century" models in the library or only those modelled by a specific person?
(I am unaware if there may be more than one author).

From the file folder:
"These files do not necessarily match any one or particular model, they are generic. If you use them, you may need to adjust the size and lighting to fit your model. You can do this by CAREFULLY cutting and pasting the proper data into the file."
These might fit some units in the library, but I didn't make them to match the models, the parts that I edited relate basically to the physics performance elements. I did edit the smoke volumes to match OR, but I did not edit the nozzle width in the exhaust section. To make a more pleasing smoke effect, widen the nozzles to 0.25-0.5 meters. Also, even though included, you won't need the buffers section in OR couplers, if you understand how they work, just copy the coupler section, but make certain you copy both brackets (). OR uses the r0 line differently than MSTS, so that is important. Some of the lines are unchanged from the MSTS V4.93 files for some of these same units, but others are different to account for how OR treats data differently than MSTS. Just be careful when you copy and paste, be sure you are replacing the exact equivalent section (for example, be careful that you don't copy too large a section, and miss a cabview assignment in pasting over the old data). When I download a new file, I edit the physics in an unzipped section before I move it in to the simulator. BE SURE to create a backup copy before you edit a .eng file!!! That way, if you do overwrite something important, it is easy to throw out the bad file and start over.

Thanks, mate.

The reason I asked is that I have a "Century" unit (Robe Iron....a reskinned C636) from several years ago and thought I'd give it a dose of your new tweaks.
