Ny uppdatering på Run8 + External Dispatcher
Länk Run 8 Länk Dispather
De har nu ytterligare förbättrat simulatorn. Nu verkar det vara bromsarna man har jobbat mycket med.
Tex när man kopplar lok mot vagnar får kompressorn jobba upp trycket i huvudledningen vilket tar sin tid (snabba upp det med F7 tangenten)
Samt att man kan bli bromslös om man hanterar bromsarna fel.
11.26.2013 Run8 Upgrade Change Log:
• Airbrakes now incorporate the Quick Service function of the triple-valve. This causes the brakepipe to vent locally a few PSI on an initial set, thus more quickly propogating the set down the train. Any further reduction of the air happens at the normal rate. Releasing the brakes resets the Quick Service chamber.
• When you grab a train, the train-brake system will be discharged; you will need to use the F7 Airbrake Cheat key if you wish to immediately have air, or else wait for the compressors to recharge the train.
• Airbrakes now incorporate the Quick-Release function of the triple-valve. Upon releasing the brakes, once the triple-valve senses a BP increase of about 1.5psi, the Emergency Reservoir is ported to the brakepipe causing the pipe to recover a bit more quickly, as well as helping to propogate the release down the train.
• The Auxiliary Reservoirs on each car charge at a more or less normal rate now. TAKE NOTE: just because your rear BP shows 89 or 90 DOES NOT mean that the system is fully charged. Watch the Shift-Z values to see what I mean, as I show the rear brake BC, AUX, and EMG reservoir psi's. Making a re-set of the brakes very soon after a release may cause strange things to happen. You must use your air properly! The thing to remember about the AUX reservoirs is that on a single-pipe system, it is the psi difference between the AUX and the BP that causes the brakes to set or release. The AUX reservoirs charge thru a very small orifice, so they will always lag well behind the BP psi. It can take several minutes for the AUX's to recharge completely even though your BP may already be up to normal pressure.
• Improper use of your air can cause inadvertant releases of the brakes! If you reset too soon after a release, and don't reduce the BP far enough, you can cause the train's brakes to set for a bit, then towards the end the BP will exceed the AUX reservoir and trip that car into Release. Well, guess what happens? That car's EMG reservoir dumps into the BP and trips the next car into release, and so on.
• ES44's now have a working Airflow readout (in Cubic Feet per Minute). SD40-2's have the same but in needle form. NOTE: The overall function is there, but the flow-rates may not match real-world values yet. In real life, once you fall below 60cfm on the flow gauge, that would indicate you hava a full release of the brakes on the train. The sim's value may vary from this, however, you can be sure that your brakes have fully recharged when the Airflow needle approaches zero (for the sake of simplicity, we do not simulate brakepipe leakage at this time).
