G-TraX E7 (B&M From Portland Terminal DLC) Dynamics Bug Fix

Unread postby tg626 » Sun Oct 04, 2015 1:43 am

From RW3 until now I've had a little issue with the E7 Locomotive included with the "Portland Terminal" DLC Route from the Steam Store. Namely if you set the Dynamic Brake to ANYthing, the game would crash to the desktop as soon as the braking action should have "kicked in".

Well, I finally found out how to inspect the BIN file, and discovered the problem. A typo.

To fix it simply do this:

  1. Open the \RailWorks\Assets\G-TraX\PortlandTerminal\RailVehicles\Diesel\E7\Default\Simulation folder in windows explorer.
  2. Click on E7_DynamicBrakeEffortVsSpeed.dcsv
  3. Right-click and choose "Copy"
  4. Right-click and choose "Paste"
  5. You should now have a file named: E7_DynamicBrakeEffortVsSpeed - Copy.dcsv
  6. Right-click it and rename it F7A_DynamicBrakeEffortVsSpeed.dcsv
As you can see, we've made a file prefixed with F7A instead of E7, it seems someone goofed all those years ago making the *.bin file and used that prefix for this ONE entry, all others are E7. !*don-know!*

Enjoy your E7 with arguably overpowered Dynamic Brakes!! **!!bang!!** < you faceplanting the windshield the first time you hit them LOL
