I am not responsible for any adverse effects on your computer, your copy of Train Simulator 2014, or any injuries your game character that may be caused by the locomotive and consists included in this pack.
The Super ES44DC is out of proportion in TS2014 and it does break the laws of physics, so it may crash your computer or your train, be careful.

---Locomotive Description---

The Super ES44DC is the next-generation superspeed locomotive for ridiculous uses in Train Simulator 2014. Designed with impressive speed and power in mind, this locomotive exceeds the precedent set by previous "super" locomotives, with

tribute to the original Supercharged Dash 9 from MSTS, my old Super Dash 9 and the ChrisTrains Jet Train. Possibly the only disadvantage the Super ES44DC has is that it requires the payware "BNSF ES44DC" (made with the Pacific

Surfliner, sold separately for $20). However, I do plan to use my "Super Scripts" on other locomotives to make them "super," increasing the number of people who potentially could have access to the super locomotives. I hope you have fun

using this!

-Stats-

Max Speed (With Sander)=2,200 MPH (Unknown, Probably Around 3,500 MPH)
Max Horsepower=Theoretically Infinite
Max Tractive Effort=Theoretically Infinite

Special tilt system included to slightly nullify the need to obey speed limits around corners when traveling with just locomotives, be careful with a trailing consist.

High-Power Dynamic Brakes and Fast Charge Airbrakes

Acceleration (Note=Similar to the Jet Train, the Super ES44DC has an odd acceleration curve. The acceleration gradually slows until 500 MPH, where it skyrockets again, then goes down. This is simply due to a physics glitch)

0-60 MPH=0.5 Seconds
0-100 MPH=1.1 Seconds
0-500 MPH=6.3 Seconds
0-1000 MPH=10.4 Seconds
0-2000 MPH=20.3 Seconds
0-2500 MPH=25.5 Seconds

-Tips-

 When braking, be aware that a small traction physics glitch results in fuged speed; braking and releasing often results in a fast jump up 20-30 MPH from the speed where you stopped braking. (Ex, you slow to 50 MPH and release, the train will suddenly accelerate to 70 MPH or so.) This also applies to stopping, so stop and stay stopped for a few seconds before releasing the brakes.
 Be careful when accelerating and decelerating with large consists, the coupler slack run out/run in can result in a large speed difference between two parts of the train which could cause a derailment.

I made a video which shows a more hands-on explanation of the Super ES44DC, find it on my YouTube here - http://youtu.be/U4r-ql_RAkQ

----Installation----

Note: The Super ES44DC requires RSC's BNSF ES44DC Loco Add-On ($19.99 - http://store.steampowered.com/app/222611/ )
Note: You may need to extract the .ap file in the RailWorks\Assets\RSC\ES44BNSFPack01 folder, this can be done using WINRAR or 7Zip.

1. Extract Super ES44DC.zip to an easy-to-find location on your computer.
2. Go to your TS2014 folder (usually Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks) and launch Utilities.exe.
3. Open the 'Package Manager' tab. (You do not need to refresh the page to install the package.)
4. Click 'Install' and navigate to the folder where you extracted Super ES44DC.zip to.
5. Click on Super ES44DC.rwp and click the 'Open' button.
6. The Utilities program will confirm that you want to install the files, click 'Ok' and the files will be installed.
   (You do not need to copy or rename any files; the Super ES44DC.bin file is aliased to the already existing RSC provided files needed.)
7. Start up the game and you can now make a quickdrive consist using the Super ES44DC.
8. Enjoy the high-speed entertainment!
