Hi sorry I am still not up with all the train terms and so am just wondering what Slack and yank actually mean in say OR or real life for that matter - I had thought it related to if a train starts too fast or a sudden acceleration, but is this right? And can it happen in OR - when I play I never find that my engine ever starts too fast, everything is always gradual and if I happen to start to fast then wheel slip stops me - I am not deliberately wanting coupler breaks but I have been reading other players experiences in OR and Run8 and it does sound exciting to have to deal with the challenge of possible breaks .
Also I am hardly an experienced engineer so I would anticipate making mistakes - which I think is a big part of the appeal of Sims - train, racing and flight Sims especially - that one can progressively get better, so if I am driving and not having any breaks happen, I presume I am doing a good job yes? Or does it depend on the train set and it's properties?
I read another post from a while back where someone was unable to climb a grade with a train simulations trainset on a route despite to their knowledge such a climb from 0.8% being possible and one comment was that some 3rd parties just aren't familiar enough yet with OR- so it does depend on the trainsets?
