TS CSX Ethanol engine problem

[Curt C]

I posted this in the OR Screen Shot forum, where a thread had been started on this product, but haven't gotten a response, so I'm hoping to get a reply here. I purchased this set, and I am seeing 7805 in a different paint scheme than was shown on the TS site and in shots included in this thread. I'm getting the Bright Future scheme, I believe it's called, rather than the YN3, as shown. The .dds looks right, though. What's up, and how can I correct? Sorry if this was brought up earlier, but I'm not seeing it anywhere.

I wonder if the set was re-packaged to deal with the Maxpower blunder and something else got blundered in the process. In your ENG files, what does it show for Maxpower?

[Curt C]

MaxPower ( 2714.8kW )

[geepster775]

Well, that's still wrong, so it shoots that idea down.

If you want to display a .dds texture, have you checked the Experimental Option "Load DDS textures in preference to ACE"?

In regards to the comment from geepster,

What should the correct MaxPower be? Because I looked at my file and it has the same ( MaxPower 2714.8kW). Also I seen the thread in the past about updating engine files for correct use in Open Rails, could someone point me in the right direction for this?

Depends on whether you believe they were 4000 hp or 4135 hp. Personally, I think they were at 4000, as I don't think these have computer screens in them. Some of the ex-Conrails did have screens, but they were never raised in HP either. Only some of the UP and ATSF and the last batch of CNW standard cabs came at 4135.

Google "hp to kw" and you have a handy little calculator, type in 4000 and it equates to 2982.8kw

Another wrinkle,

OR needs the total HP not traction HP.

So in this case OR needs 4135hp

[geepster775]

4000 is total HP for most. A small group was given software and fuel rack changes to boost them to 4135 total HP, some when built, others later on in the shop. We (this hobby) overuse that upgrade, make it more widespread than it was
