U-Boat issues

[stlsf4003]

So I've been having some trouble getting a few GE diesels to move under they'er own power.

The engine's in question are all U-boats of one form or another. Now the problem i' having is that once i release the brakes and notch back the throttle, the engine just wont move!

Even when I open it up all the way to notch 8, the engine still wont move an inch under it's own power.

Note: pretty much every engine i'm having trouble with are re-skins of models that were released way back when MSTS was still the big name in train siming. So that's most likely the root of the issue.

What does the F5 Brake HUD show when having the problem?

Try Shift+/ to release the brakes completely.

Always post an eng file.

I suppose the engine can't move because it is secured by engine mounts to the locomotive frame. Try loosening up the mounts, should move okay - especially at notch 8.

the brake read out when released says
"BQ 95 psi BC 0 psi BP 95 psi"

How do i post the .eng file?

Zip the .eng file with a file zipping utility, and attach the zipped file to your next post.

Change the "power" from kN to kW
