Hello,

Brakepressure in my area is 5,0 BAR (European system)


For moment i have a train that if you brake:

Brakepipe 4,5 BAR ( i have give braking of 0,5 BAR)

Brakecylinders stay on +/- 1,0 BAR


On a movie on YouTube, i have see that this train must have cylinderbrake +/- 2,0 BAR if you give 0,5 BAR brake (Brakepipe)


And with braking of 1,0bar (brakepipe), brakecylinders must be stay on 3,0 BAR


I'am forgot what tokens in .eng file handle this, i will that brakecylinders give more consumption and go faster


.eng files use ORTSbrakepipetokens too:


	ORTSMainResChargingRate 				( 0.04bar/s )

	ORTSBrakePipeChargingRate 				( 4.6bar/s )

	ORTSEngineBrakeReleaseRate 				( 2.6bar/s )

	ORTSEngineBrakeApplicationRate 				( 2.6bar/s )

	ORTSBrakePipeTimeFactor 				( 0.0004s )
	ORTSBrakeServiceTimeFactor 				( 1.0090s )
	ORTSBrakeEmergencyTimeFactor 				( 0.1000s )

	TrainPipeLeakRate 					( 0.0001bar/s )

Have you looked at the parameter
TripleValveRatio( )
in the Wagonsection?

Hello,

This is information of Wagon section:



	BrakeEquipmentType							( "Distributor,auxilary_reservoir,emergency_brake_reservoir, Handbrake" )
	BrakeSystemType								( "Air_Twin_Pipe" )
	MaxBrakeForce								( 76kN )
	MaxHandBrakeForce							( 35kN )

	MaxReleaseRate								( 1.04bar/s )
	MaxApplicationRate							( 1.04bar/s )
	MaxAuxilaryChargingRate							( 1.04bar/s )

	BrakeCylinderPressureForMaxBrakeBrakeForce				( 5.0bar )

	TripleValveRatio							( 2.27 )





TripleValveRatio ( 2.27 )


Greetz,

Stijn

Hello,

I have change TripleValveRatio to 2.8 and now it is better.


Thanks :-)
