where does adhesion for different conditions exist?

The Adhesion for locomotives and wagons is based upon the "standard" Curtius Kniffler formula.
Based upon the OR code, it appears that this formula can be adjusted by adding appropriate parameters in the ENG file.

Based upon my research I haven't seen a huge number of different formula values for the CK formula, so at the moment I am not convinced that there is value in adjusting it for different locomotives.

So we no longer need Kuju's Adheason() anywhere, correct?

Didn't see your reply until now... Thank you for the information, I'll start removing that line from .wags I happen to be working on.
