    Engine brake

    G'day, while running OR (I only use OR) the other day I came across some locos that when you started the sim they had both their train and engine brakes applied others only had the train brake applied.
    I had a look at their eng files and the only relevant difference was the sectin below.
    The engine brake entry, the last figure was either 0 (engine brake not aplied) or 1 (engine brake applied).
    I also noticed some entrys like 0.3, 0.5, 0.8.
    what is the purpose of this entry?
    Regards

    I am by no means expert on this subject, but it could have something to do with *.eng file being modified with Bill Prieger's physics.

      You kind of answered your own question. In the engine brake and train brake section, the last value allows you to choose what percentage of brakes you want applied when the activity starts.

        G'day Neil, yes I thought that was probably the case, thanks for confirming this.
