Hello,
Yesterday, as I started playing a new activity after a long hiatus, I came across a strange problem. As I was cruising down the Cima sub with my military train, I noticed that my automatic brakes didn't work. No matter how much air reduction I made in the brake pipe, the brake cylinders on cars were only giving me 1 PSI.
I did a quick search on the forum, and found the value in the .wag file responsible for this. However, I was surprised to see that the number in my .wag file for BrakeCylinderPressureForMaxBrakeBrakeForce is ( .50 ), and not ( 50 ), as I learned it should be.
I looked into several of my other .wag files, and some of them had the same problem. Also, the MaxBrakeForce value was rather odd as well ( 0.1058kN ).
Here's the thing. Every time a download a new piece of equipment, I always UPGRADE it to Bill Prieger's Pro Physics, following his tutorial for upgrading the physics using Route Riter, before I put it in the "TRAINS" folder. I checked the Pro Brakes folder containing his upgrade files, and they all had the same, strange value of .50 in the BrakeCylinderPressureForMaxBrakeBrakeForce.
After doing even some more research, I found that this value of .50 comes with his "MSTS Turbo Bill's Physics ProPk5", while the "MSTS Physics Pro Pack v4.0" has the, I presume, correct value of 50.
I corrected this value on all of my wagons using RR, and the braking seems to work fine now. However, I did not change the values of "MaxBrakeForce" which, in his Version 5, all come in the form of 0.xxx number.
Is this all right now, leaving it like that? Also, does this upgrade that I do has any adverse effect on the performance, as it was originally meant for MSTS, but now I use it exclusively in ORTS?
I didn't seem to encounter any other problem while driving.
My whole fleet of cars and locomotives has been upgraded in the same manner. Hopefully, I won't have to start all over again.
