Constant "Wheel Slip"

[Don6218]

I am not having that issue with the 3D-Trains Surfliner CabCar, It has minimal "Power @ 70kw" and works just fine with the KLW loco.

It is nothing to do with the pushing loco, and everything to do with the cabcar. Your 70kw should be fine, but my 2K+w was too much power for the weight of the car. The 3DTS cab forwards engines have the same problem with the trailing engine unit, but in that case it is weight that need to be added.

BTW - The manual for ORTS as just updated on June 17 . There were some changes made very recently in adhesion and wheelslip - They could be in the manual . I know the changes were made right before x3571 and I think at X3573 .. I'm using X3577 and no problems so far.
Just a thought !

I do not believe that any updates have been made to the published OR manual since the 1.1 release (- even though the date was changed on the website - check the date on the cover of the Manual). The discussions and any suggested new numbers may be on the Elvas Tower forums.

The manual did not have its' publish date changed, but the size is different between the original 1.1 version and the current one. OR does have an issue of not listing the changes for each revision of the manual.

OR doesn't have an "issue" with indicating changes in the Manual. The OR team just ignores requests by the users to mark the changes.

I do not think it is a case of the OR team ignoring requests, more a case of not enough people working on OR to allow time for changes to be flagged in the manual.

U have found that the Physics for the KLW loco fit my needs and I will be modifying the 3D Surfliner locos with some changes to the same physics and ENG file lines in the KLW ENG file.

The Surliner CabCar and coaches work fine with their physics as published.

I really hate it when these simple topics get so off track. I believe that it is an ENG File issue, nothing to do with the coaches or with the way OR interprets the files. My simple swapping and testing proves this to be true in my instance.
