Starting with 50% engine brake

[chp56]

I used to know this, but which parameter would I change in the eng file to start with 50% engine braking?

Hi...

The 4th parameter on the "Brake_Train" and "Brake_Engine" specifies the percentage of brakes set at startup... So the "0.5" and the "0.75" respectively in my example below...

		Brake_Train ( 0 1 0.025 0.5 
			NumNotches ( 5 
				Notch ( 0 0 TrainBrakesControllerReleaseStart ) 
				Notch ( 0.2 0 TrainBrakesControllerRunningStart ) 
				Notch ( 0.3 0 TrainBrakesControllerSelfLapStart ) 
				Notch ( 0.4 1 TrainBrakesControllerApplyStart ) 
				Notch ( 1 0 TrainBrakesControllerEmergencyStart ) 
			) 
		) 
		Brake_Engine ( 0 1 0.005 0.75
			NumNotches ( 5
				Notch( 0.0 0 TrainBrakesControllerFullQuickReleaseStart )
				Notch( 0.25 0 TrainBrakesControllerRunningStart )
				Notch( 0.50 0 TrainBrakesControllerHoldStart )
				Notch( 0.75 0 TrainBrakesControllerFullServiceStart )
				Notch( 1.0 0 TrainBrakesControllerEmergencyStart )
			)
		)
