This is the CSX GE AC6000CW (CW60AH/CW46AH) Physics Modification pack version 1.0 

 

Both tests are made with identical consists of 50 loaded hopper cars.

 

In order to utilize this freeware physics upgrade, you must have purchased the "Train Simulator: CSX AC6000CW Loco Add-On" pack available at Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/277769/

 

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 a physics mod; NOT a sound mod. All default sounds are kept.

 

The purpose of this pack is to adjust the fuel capacity, motor amperage limits, and tractive & braking effort values for more realistic operation.

 

This pack also includes physics for the derated version of the locomotive (CW46AH).

 

General Parameter Change Log:

1. Set fuel tank capacity to 6,200 gallons.

2. Maximum tractive amps is 890; maximum braking amps is 510. 1 amp = 1 kilonewton of tractive/dynamic brake effort.

3. Adjusted dynamic brake effort rating and curve for more realistic operation.

4. Adjusted two sound proxyxml files to ensure dynamic brake sound plays properly with the amperage change.

5. Weight kept at 196 metric tons (432,000 lbs)

 

Technical specifications for the CW60AH and the CW46AH:

1. CW60AH (GE GEVO-16; 6250 THP)

a. Starting tractive effort of 200,000 lbs (890 kN) up to 10.55 mph

b. Wheel horsepower of 5,625 hp (4,197.76 kW) @ 10.55 mph

c. Dynamic Brake effort of 115,000 lbs (510 kN) from 20 mph to 3 mph

d. DB resistor grid rating of 6,300 hp (4,701.5 kW)

e. Maximum speed of 75 mph 

f. RPM change rate (rpm/second) = 20 

  g. Fuel consumption range (gph)= 5.2 - 280

 

2. CW46AH (GE GEVO-16; 5100 THP; Derated)

a. Starting tractive effort of 200,000 lbs (890 kN) up to 8.6 mph

b. Wheel horsepower of 4,590 hp (3,425.37 kW) @ 8.6 mph

c. Dynamic Brake effort of 115,000 lbs (510 kN) from 20 mph to 3 mph

d. DB resistor grid rating of 6,300 hp (4,701.5 kW)

e. Maximum speed of 75 mph

f. RPM change rate (rpm/second) = 25 

  g. Fuel consumption range (gph)= 4.5 - 215

 

IMPORTANT; Install Instructions

 

1. Locate CSXAC6000CWPack01 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\DTG\CSXAC6000CWPack01)

2. Open DTG_CSX_GE_AC6000CW_Physics_Mod_Pack.rar

3. Drag the file folders from the .rar in step 2 into the directory you opened in step 1.

4. The installation should be complete. Run TS2015 to check.

5. If installation is botched or does not work, to back up to original files, delete the folders from step 3.

 

User's Manual:

Upon installation, the pack defaults to using the CW60AH physics. In order to switch physics, follow the steps below:

 

1. Open the following directory:

a. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\DTG\CSXAC6000CWPack01\RailVehicles\AC6000CW\Simulation"

2. In each of those directories, you will see two folders (one for each set of locomotive physics):

a. "6000 HP"

b. "4600 HP"

3. Once you choose which set of physics to use, open the respective physics folder in the directory from step 1.

4. Copy (CTRL + C) all files you find in the opened folder located in directory 1a.

5. Proceed back to the directory in step one.

6. Paste (CTRL + V) the copied files; overwrite when asked.

7. If the previous 6 steps were completed properly, the physics swap should be successful; run TS2015 to check.

This is the Chicago & Southwest Productions Metra EMD F40PH-3 Locomotive & Nippon Sharyo Gallery Cab Car Physics Modification pack version 1.0 

 

In order to utilize this freeware physics upgrade, you must have purchased the "The Racetrack: Aurora - Chicago Route Add-On" pack available at Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/258648/

 

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 mod pack. That full mod pack MAY be available separately from this one in the future once I have acquired sounds. Stay tuned.

 

The purpose of this pack is to adjust the physics performance of the EMD F40PH-3 locomotive and the associated Gallery Cab Car.

 


 

List of general changes; specific changes for each specific locomotive located below:

1. Modified tractive effort and braking effort curves.

2. Modified power ratings @ alternator and @ wheel.

3. Modified cab car fuel capacity.

4. Removed coupler slack.

5. Changed brake pipe normal pressure from 90 PSI to 110 PSI. Actual Metra equipment runs with 90 PSI in the brake pipe, but the game engine runs the brake gauges a little better if the pressure is set to 110 PSI. In addition, there is an issue with custom built consists with the cab leading not taking power if the brake pipe is set to 90 PSI. A future edition of this physics mod will be released to correct this problem; at which time, we will revert back to using the 90 PSI brake pipe.

6. Modified the cab car so that it does not provide tractive effort to the train set; only the locomotive applies tractive effort after the installation of this mod.

7. Adjusted cab car HUD ammeter upper limit from 1500 to 1800.

 

Version 2.0 of this mod will include a signature JohnS brake fix that will correct the air gauge functionality and allow a return back to the prototypical 90 PSI brake pipe rating.

 

NOTE: Although the F40PH-3 locomotive comes default with a neat HEP mode toggle ability, this only affects engine RPM; tractive power is not affected, so I have included two sets of physics that the user can switch between. Specifics are listed below for each set of physics. Instructions on how to perform the switch are included in the owner's manual, also located below.

 

Technical specifications:

 

1. EMD F40PH-2 (EMD 645; 3200 THP; no HEP)

a. Starting tractive effort of 65,000 lbs (289.1344 kN)

b. Continuous tractive effort of 38,240 lbs (170.1 kN) @ 16.31 mph

c. Dynamic Brake effort of 35,000 lbs (177.93 kN) @ 55 mph; extended range sawtooth curve between 55 mph and 36 mph. Fade to 0 lbs @ 0.5 mph (not in use)

d. Wheel horsepower of 2,850 hp (2,390 kW) @ 30 mph

e. Maximum speed of 103 mph

  f. Engine RPM range = 410 - 900 

g. RPM change rate (rpm/second) = 18 

  h. Fuel consumption range (gph)= 4 - 155 

i. Weight = 260,142.8 lbs (118 metric tons)

j. Fuel capacity = 1500 gallons

k. Max traction amps = 1785

l. Max brake amps = 700 (not in use)

 

2. EMD F40PH-2 (EMD 645; 3200 THP; 500 kW HEP [7 - 11 cars])

a. Starting tractive effort of 65,000 lbs (289.1344 kN)

b. Continuous tractive effort of 38,240 lbs (170.1 kN) @ 16.31 mph

c. Dynamic Brake effort of 35,000 lbs (177.93 kN) @ 55 mph; extended range sawtooth curve between 55 mph and 36 mph. Fade to 0 lbs @ 0.5 mph (not in use)

d. Wheel horsepower of 2,210 hp (2,390 kW) @ 22 mph

e. Maximum speed of 103 mph

  f. Engine RPM range = 410 - 900 

g. RPM change rate (rpm/second) = 18 

  h. Fuel consumption range (gph)= 24 - 155 

i. Weight = 260,142.8 lbs (118 metric tons)

j. Fuel capacity = 1500 gallons

k. Max traction amps = 1785

l. Max brake amps = 700 (not in use)

 

NOTE: Because of they way the game engine works, subbing in these real world values does result in slower high end acceleration. Run the locomotive with the non-HEP physics if it bothers you that you can't make it to track speed.

 

IMPORTANT; Install Instructions:

 

1. Locate BNSFChicago (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\Barnez\BNSFChicago)

2. Open TS2015_Metra_EMD_F40PH_&_Gallery_Cab_Car_Physics_Mod_Pack.7z

3. Drag the file folder from the .rar in step 2 into the directory you opened in step 1.

4. The installation should be complete. Run TS2015 to check.

5. If installation is botched or does not work, to back up to original files, delete the folder from step 3.

 

Owner's Manual:

Once installation is complete, the pack defaults to using the non-HEP locomotive's traction physics. In order to switch between the HEP and non-HEP locomotive physics, follow the steps below:

 

1. Locate the following two directories:

1a. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\Barnez\BNSFChicago\RailVehicles\Diesel\F40PH\Chicago

1b. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\Barnez\BNSFChicago\RailVehicles\Passenger\NSbilevel\NSCabCoach\Engine

2. Within each of the two above directories, you will see two more folders labelled "HEP+" (HEP version) and "HEP-" (non-HEP version).

3. Once you've chosen which version of physics you want to run with, enter the respective folder, copy the contents inside, return to the previous directory, and paste the contents that you copied. Overwrite when asked.

4. Physics set swap should be complete; run TS2015 to confirm.

5. Expert users can run multiple physics sets at the same time if they choose. The key is to make one locomotive (driver) a HEP locomotive, and the other (no driver) a non-HEP locomotive. I'll let these expert users figure out how to do that.

 

NOTE: When trying to run a career scenario after installing any physics mod, you will have to bypass the "track.bin" error message that pops up by pressing "F2", then hitting save. The scenario will then be playable.

 

Thank you for downloading and installing.

Enjoy =)

Ever want to remanufacture your virtual AEM-7DC? Well, now you can lol:


 

This is the Amtrak EMD AEM-7AC & DC Physics and Sound Upgrade pack, TS2015 edition.

 

In order to utilize this freeware physics & sound upgrade, you must have purchased the Northeast Corridor Add-On pack available at Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/65232/

 

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 & sound enhancements found in this pack for personal use if you so choose.

 

The purpose of this pack is to correct some physics errors in the original AEM-7, correct the coupler spacing issue with the Amfleet cars in version 48.9a of TS2015, and add new horn and bell sounds.

 

THIS UPDATE adds AEM-7AC physics and sounds (and number restrictions). Read the "owner's manual" section for instructions on how to switch between the two physics sets.

AEM-7AC sound development was facilitated by this video:


 

Sound portion information:

On popular request, this pack comes with two (now three) bell sounds (low pitch and high pitch), both recorded directly off of AEM-7DC units, in addition to the K5LA (which comes with exterior and in-cab loops).

Read the "owner's manual" section for instructions on how to switch between the two different bell sounds.

 

NOTE: The interior E-bell sound is VERY soft, so if you don't hear it unless you're trying or the volume is up, that's normal.

 

Physics Parameter Change Log (DC Unit):

1. Adjusted tractive effort and braking effort curves based on real world figures available online: http://www2.hcmuaf.edu.vn/data/phamducdung/thamkhao/Mark's%20Standard-Handbook/Transportation.pdf

2. Adjusted maximum amperage ratings; 2250 for traction and 970 for braking. Traction amps based here: http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k329/mestevet/01671s11Kvsm.jpg

 

For more specifics on the specific values that were changed, proceed here: http://railworksamerica.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=10793

Do you plan on making any sound mods like those to the ACS-64? I know for a fact the idle doesn't sound like that.

Currently, the ACS-64 "idle" is too loud because the motor blower fans are playing. There IS a way to code for the blowers to turn on and off... but I first have to find that code from elsewhere and port it over, and then I have to find the proper sounds to use for the blowers turning on and off. Back at school, so my development time is limited to more simplistic tasks for the time being. But once I figure that out, the ACS-64, HHP-8, and Acela will all be updated with new idle sounds and motor blower sounds.
