[FanRailer]

This is the GE Dash 9-44CW conversion-to-AC4400CW physics mod pack.

In order to utilize this freeware physics upgrade, you must have purchased the "Train Simulator: BNSF Dash 9 Loco Add-On" pack available at Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/208356/

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 convert the locomotive over from Dash 9-44CW operating characteristics to AC4400CW characteristics for the specific purpose of operating with Metrolink equipment.

General Parameter Change Log:
1. Adjusted locomotive weights slightly.
2. Adjusted tractive effort ratings and curves for individual locomotive models based on the specifications listed below.
3. Adjusted dynamic brake effort ratings and curves for individual locomotive models based on the specifications listed below.
4. Adjusted fuel consumption.
5. Reduced amount of coupler stretch.
6. Changed brake pipe pressure specification from 90 PSI to 110 PSI for passenger operations.
7. Changed road numbers for "Dash9-44CW BNSF Clean" unit to 30 confirmed Metrolink AC44 units.
8. Renamed "Dash9-44CW BNSF Clean" unit to "AC4400CW BNSF Clean [110PSI]" for easy identification & use in quick drive consist editor. *all other versions of the Dash 9 are untouched*
