I don't think this is prototypical or anywhere close to 'reality', but when running steamers in basic or advanced adhesion, I am on a rainy route and put the throttle up a smidge to high and the loco goes into wheelslip. The problem? The wheels don't fly out of control like a real engine, instead they just seize up and lock up.. I think instead of using accurate stuff like it should, the sim is going to the code for braking wheelslip. Is this intentional?

Just found that the wheelslip I am after occurs when the loco is stationary, and too much throttle is applied; however when the engine is moving it seems to just lock the wheel, leaning me further to it resorting to 'braking wheelslip'.

You have use ALT-X to reset wheelslip to get them moving again .

[copperpen]

Not had to use that so far. Just make sure throttle is closed before opening again is all I do. I have provided a link to this thread in the main thread in the discussion forum

Shouldn't have to use a debug command every time Hobo; and copper? That's interesting, because even after closing/opening the throttle, the 'wheel-locking-up' wheelslip keeps occurring, rather than the realistic wheelslip that occurs when the engine is stationary.

Copperpen is right ! With X3536 wheelslip can be created , shut down and then repeated easily is so desired with low adhesion figures . Without stopping the train you can continue on . Works A OK as far as I'm concerned .
Thanx !

Apparently you are not understanding what I am saying, then. When in reality wheelslipping via throttle application on a steamer will make the wheels spin out of control, rapid chuffing, etc.

In ORTS, that only occurs when wheelslip occurs when trying to move from a standstill. Otherwise, when moving, that does not happen. Instead the chuffing disappears and the wheels lock up as if they are being affected by braking, rather than throttle.

[Hobo]

Sorry - but on mine - with train moving , increase throttle until wheels slip , chuffing increases accordingly , back off on throttle until slip slows down and quits ( train is still moving ) then increase throttle and continue on . At no time did the wheels lock up .
Try different steamers and see if they all react the same .
Just my observation . Works for me .

[captain_bazza]

Seems like the settings in the individual ENGs may have some bearing on the different behavior?

All my steamers seem to react like that, except the PRR T1. It doesn't slip at ALL, ironically.
