Hi
In MSTS, there was an option in a routes TRK file to allow this parameter "GravityScale ( 1.00 )".

It allowed all gradients to be less than the actual route gradients. The GravityScale ( 1.00 ) is the default setting for the actual
gradients. This scale can be anything between 0.1 and 1.0.

I have tried this in OR, but cannot see any differences for the gradients. Is this parameter implemented in OR?

Thanks

Can anyone confirm this?

"GravityScale" does not exist anywhere in the OR code either as an input parameter or internal token.

Almost all my trainsets have prototypical performance,thanks to OR. However, some of the UK routes have gradients far steeper than real life. This parameter compensated for that.
Being part of the MSTS code, the gravity scale parameter would be helpful for the very reason I mentioned. I have a look at Trello to see if has been mentioned.

In MSTS the Gravity route parameter had the effect of making the rolling stock and engines lighter to compensate for steeper than normal grades. Taken too far this resulted in wheelslip when going up hill and probably also under heavy braking.

If this is correct that I definitely do not want this implemented, as all my stock is configured correctly for power and brakes. When I used this parameter in MSTS, I thought it just change how the sim would read just the gradient and level running would still be normal. I don't recall the stock being lighter or any other stock physics changed. Mind you, all this was about 12 years ago.

Thanks
