Hello,

For Impuls brakecontroler i use the PBL2 scripts

But for engine brake, works only this by me (train without brakescripts):

Brake_Engine ( 0 1 0.05 0
NumNotches ( 3
Notch ( 0 0 EngineBrakesControllerReleaseStart )
Notch ( 0.2 0 EngineBrakesControllerHoldLappedStart )
Notch ( 1 0 EngineBrakesControllerEmergencyStart )
)
)

But now works this brakecontroller on Westinghouse principe.

For a train that have "Oerlikon FV4" brakecontrollers for train & engine the engine brake NOT work with this:

Brake_Engine ( 0 1 0.125 0
NumNotches ( 5
Notch ( 0.000 0 EngineBrakesControllerReleaseStart )
Notch ( 0.100 0 EngineBrakesControllerHoldStart )
Notch ( 0.125 1 EngineBrakesControllerApplyStart )
Notch ( 0.875 0 EngineBrakesControllerContinuousServiceStart )
Notch ( 1.000 0 EngineBrakesControllerEmergencyStart )
)
)

Brake_Engine ( 0 1 0.125 0
NumNotches ( 1
Notch ( 0.000 0 Dummy )
)
)

For the "Trainbrake" with Oerlikon FV4 i use this (and works):

Brake_Train ( 0 1 0.05 1
NumNotches (
5
Notch ( 0 0 TrainBrakesControllerReleaseStart )
Notch ( 0.2 0 TrainBrakesControllerHoldLappedStart )
Notch ( 0.25 1 TrainBrakesControllerGraduatedSelfLapLimitedHoldingStart )
Notch ( 0.9 0 TrainBrakesControllerContinuousServiceStart )
Notch ( 0.95 0 TrainBrakesControllerEmergencyStart )
)
)

But if you use other numbers than 0.05 (0.20...) it works like Westinghousecontroller :-)

I have use same data of trainbrake for engine, with Train to Engine change offcourse, but that works not to.

The Oerlikon Enginebrake must be works like that Oerlikon FV4 brakecontroller. like MSTS do.

This controller works, if you rotate on it, it give brake pressure, but if you leave the controler the pressure, stay the same (not like westinhousecontroller).

Have someone idea what commands i must use for have a Oerlikon FV4 enginebrake please?

Nobody that knows how i get a working 0-100% Engine brake?

In the HUD window you see change the % of the Enginebrakelever, but the locomotivebrake self does nothing

only when i use

		Brake_Engine ( 0 1 0.05 0
                NumNotches ( 3
                    Notch ( 0    0 EngineBrakesControllerReleaseStart )
		    Notch ( 0.2  0 EngineBrakesControllerHoldLappedStart )
                    Notch ( 1    0 EngineBrakesControllerEmergencyStart )
            		)
        	)

I have Enginebraking, but not with 0-100% system, more like a impulslever :-(

I am tempted to suggest that it should be

Brake_Engine ( 0 1 0.05 0
NumNotches ( 1
Notch ( 0 1 EngineBrakesControllerContiuousServiceStart )))

I don't know if it will work as I have not tried it, but this seems logical.

Hello,

The problem with

Brake_Engine ( 0 1 0.04 0
NumNotches ( 1
Notch ( 0 1 Dummy )
)
)



is:

EngineBrakesControllerFullServicePressureDrop ( 0.0bar ) => By 0.0 BAR brakecylinder go to 5BAR

If i use other value like 3.6BAR, cylinder go to 1 BAR


Is this normal?


Greetz,

Please do not use "Dummy" for brake notches in Open Rails. Open Rails does not understand a dummy notch for brakes, you must use a recognised brake token such as Release or Apply.

Hello,

I have tested with:

Brake_Engine ( 0 1 0.10 0
NumNotches ( 0 )
)

It works also

For PBL system this is ok, for systems like Oerlikon, Westinghouse levers you need other "Notch" programmation.
