video(s) TS2014: Acela EMU Physics Fix Released

[Fan Railer]

This is the Amtrak Acela Express Physics Upgrade pack:

 

In order to utilize this freeware physics upgrade, you must have purchased the Amtrak Acela Express EMU Add-On pack available at Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/65231/

 

This is a freeware pack; in no way is it to be used for commercial purposes. You are free, however to further modify the physics enhancements found in this pack for personal use if you so choose.

 

THIS IS NOT A SOUND UPGRADE PACK. Physics adjustments made around the existing sounds

 

The purpose of this pack is to correct some physics errors in the original Acela pack.

 

Parameter Change Log:

1. Adjusted tractive effort and braking effort curves based on real world figures available online. Original figures used were much too high and lead to an unrealistically fast train set.

2. Adjusted individual car weights based on real world figures available online.

3. Added the ammeter feature on the HUD, and tweaked the cab TE display to read a maximum of 50,000 lbf of starting tractive effort.
