Marias Pass Braking

Unread postby Ericmopar » Mon Jan 13, 2014 5:10 pm

I've thought for some time, that it takes too long for Marias Pass stock to stop under a full service application.
I therefor did a test on some relatively level track. It was going slightly uphill.
It took a train going about 35 mph a mile to stop. It just kept going and going.
I've wondered what others think of this. I know from observation of real freight trains, that they don't take that long to stop from those kinds of speeds.

Ahhhh.
It may have something to do with Workshop scenarios. I also found out the minimum reduction was at zero so I reset that to 3psi.
Let me have some test drives now...

A min reduction is 6PSI in real life.

I know, but in this sim a minimum reduction of 3 psi in the bins gives more realistic braking control at low brake settings.
IE things like stretch braking on flats on Donner.
Fudging a bit because of the apparent core programming.

It was the scenarios as well, but I have no idea how a scenario can affect braking performance.

I don't see how it could.

You mean the scenarios causing the issues?

That's alright.
I don't know either, although it occurred to me it could be something other than braking. Car mass, drag coefficient etc could be corrupted or something.
It's affecting all 5 of Elphaba's East and West Slope scenarios for Marias.
