Ok I look forward more to the cab instruments part of this as this has motivated me to work an complete.

Hugo,
try with this fix, always for ORNYMB 110.3.
Orts.Simulation4.zip

ATW,
yes, it's possible, but it requires time. At least for the moment I don't have the intention to start that task. BTW, there are developers that are faster than me in developing such pop-up windows.


Carlo, tested here. For me is working great.

That's good. I've introduced the changes in ORNYMG 110.4.

ATW, that's great! What is it exactly? A self-built real cab?

I have now generated a PR for the official OR with this feature. Unfortunately at the moment it won't yet appear in the Unstable release, because it clashes with a preceding PR.

1st photo is from actual photo by me with 2D cutout windows. Last two are pictures of actual computer EMD display screens an settings I am targeting to gain. Don't know if track grade an monitors in cab istruments will be possible? Rear BP pressure at End.Of.Train, Air Flow pressures and whole MU consists Traction Force are needed. The Dynamic_Brake_Force token alone doesn't work.

My self built cabs are not complete yet or fully wired yet to satisfactory.

The implementation of the DPU in the ORNYMG 110.4 works perfectly.

Congratulations to all who have intervened.

Kind regards

Pedro

Thanks for your feedback! I've now uploaded ORNYMG 110.5, that contains a small fix in the Distributed Power Page to adapt to Borislav Miletic's cabs.

Is it possible for DPU to have its own GUI screen tab like maybe keys Shift+F9 showing controlling linked groups?

Hi,

Here is a new DPU dedicated window named "Train Dpu Info", which is displayed by pressing Shift + F9.

Attached Image: TrainDpuInfo_Full_N2.jpg Attached Image: TrainDpuInfo_Small_N2.jpg

The keys list by Carlo:

  • Move To Back < Ctrl+Shift+O > :
    Move one locomotive group to back (*async*) control group (fence goes to the left).

  • Move To Front < Ctrl+O > :
    Move one locomotive group to front (*sync*) control group (fence goes to the right).

  • Traction < Ctrl+L > :
    Switch *async* group to traction mode.

  • Idle < Ctrl+Shift+L > :
    Set *async* group to idle.

  • Braking < Ctrl+ '> (key two positions at the right of L):
    Switch *async* group to dynamic braking mode.

  • More < Ctrl+U > :
    Increase *async* group traction or dynamic brake, depending on its mode setting.

  • Less < Ctrl+Shift+U > :
    Decrease *async* group traction or dynamic brake, depending on its mode setting.


The extended HUD page about the Distributed Power Information remains unchanged.

Regards,
Mauricio

That would help a lot! I would suggest to replace the load field with ammeter/tractive effort value instead the load percentage.
Just to inform, the flow field showed in the DPU display at american locomotives is related to the brake pipe air flow at the locomotive, not the fuel flow.

That indeed would work an be a great addition. Works well to move the screen around to a different position till cab instruments get implemented.

I would suggest as well the Load be the tractive effort. Also another thing is 2 things that have not been implemented yet but the confusion of Flow in DPU an a cab instrument is actually supposed to be BP air flow feeding the Brake Pipe, Auxiliary an Emergency reservoirs during charging an release of air brakes in PSI, Cubic Feet or simply how much leaking continues even at a full compliant charge which shouldn't exceed 60 CFM. 2nd thing in DPU an alone instruments is the Consist: Tractive Effort totals in a group so engineers can simply see the totals so they know what not to exceed to stay away from the ranges of say breaking a knuckle or buff loading. Not to mention Rear End BP (EOT) is something to pay attention too.

Will the groups be separated into one piece for this new GUI instead of showing all units in a group?
