Gerry -- I was looking for the file of SD75I in your group of STD ENG FILES ver. 2 and don't see the list of that diesel in it. As you know that CN still have several SD75I running as of today's date on intermodal or manifest trains. Let me know about this.
There's a file for an SD75M, isn't there? Mechanically they're the same
Yep, part of my train simming education ( learning curve ) from version1 to version2. So many things to learn...
To John,
from the SD75M standard eng file ... difference in cab type, as travis says... no mechanical difference.

First I wanted to thank you for your hard work on these. As I'm going through all my rolling stock updating them using these I noticed some that are missing. I was wondering if there was a chance to get some Eng files for the following Locomotives.

Well, as a matter of fact, I have been working on corrections and additions for the set. As you'll see in the attached screenshot. Check marks by the new ones >>> bandicam 2020-05-13 16-51-29-889.jpg
Some of the new files are simply locomotive weight specs used by different roads.
There already is a SD30C in the ver2 set...did you miss it?
I need good information for the following: loco mass, BHP, tractionHP, adhesion%, transmission Eff., idle and max RPM, etc., or at least data accurate enough to start working the files. Anybody got good data? I'm also looking for a good copy of the locomotive cyclopedia -- 1950's to 1960's editions...cannot find any currently, plenty of earlier editions.

Richard, you're welcome. Thanks, Gerry

Completed the MP40PH-3C, looking at the ALP-45DP --- in diesel mode it has two levels of RailHp with and without HEP.

Today I uploaded an Update, Correction, and Add-on package for Version 2 of the OR Standard Engine files.
This contains:
1. Corrections to errors reported by users and some I found.
2. Updates files with new information and specs -- this includes different locomotives weights used by roads. ( at some point I'm going to stop releasing different weights of the same locomotives, seems like every railroad had their own specs...cannot keep up with them. )
3. Adds new Std_Eng files for version two. Included are diesel engine files for commuter locomotives, MP36PH-3C; MP40PH-3C; MP54AC and SC-44, also RF16's "sharknose", and others.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Recently work was done on the code pertaining to the Throttle-vs-RPM relationship in OR. An unintended consequence of this work was the introduction of a bug. The bug involved locomotives using the ORTS Diesel Engine definition ( Std_Eng files ) that have identical Idle and Notch1 RPMs. It resulted in these locomotives having zero force & power. There is a workaround patch that takes effect in Monogame Revision 65 ( and associated Unstable version ). I believe Monogame revisions up to REV.59 work correctly ( and associated unstable versions also ).
If you wish to use any of the OR version/revisions that this bug affects the change to the Std_Eng file is shown in the screenshot below: bandicam 2020-06-10 12-28-00-331.jpg
