Crash Trains's

To avoid this, just turn off curve dependent speed limits.

Thanks for that. That seems to work fine.

So now I've got a cab I can see out of, trains that don't break apart at the first bend......

All I need now are brakes that work!!!!

That is going to be MUCH harder . Some aren't too bad and others take as long to apply as they do to release! . THAT HAS to be a fault because I've been in a train cab when someone was ham fisted with the brakes and we all got thrown across the cab! With some MSTS stock in OR you could hit the emergency brake and it wouldn't cause a ripple in yer mug of tea!

It would seem that however realistic the brake release and charging of the system is the use of the brakes is hopeless on some stock. To get any braking AT ALL you have to put on so much braking that they won't release before the train grinds to a halt. That is just wrong?

I know there's been a lot written on modifying stuff but as the forum search engine is so naff I'd appreciate any pointers at the most relevant thread on this.

All stock needs the braking reworked so some degree, worst of all is vac brakes. Not found the sweet spot yet for them. I think the main problem is that we do not have a working ejector system yet to get a quick release. A lot of UK stock has the wag section of an eng file as vac, but retains all the airbrake stuff down in the eng file. All of that has to be rooted out and replaced with proper vac lines.

Airbrakes are a bit better to work with. Just have to find a set that works and transfer those settings to the rest of the airbraked fleet. There has been quite a bit of work looking at something called an inc file which actually replaces parts of an eng or wag file, particularly handy for brake systems. There are a couple of threads on that over at Elvas.
