Hello,
I have just installed the latest X2381 and now when I try and move a train, and I have tried different activities, after I release the brakes and throttle up, the wheel slip notice comes on and the trains will not move at all.
In one activity I have two units and 40empty autoracks and I can not move the train?
I have attached the log in case there is something that I'm doing wrong but I have not had this problem before.
Thanks for any help.
Tim

I confirm this action, it only affects diesels far as I can see.
Correction. The update affects steam as well. I have a heavy test train powered by steam. Prior to this update, the engine would start this train. With this update the physics are out by a long country mile. The engine starts in a boiler priming state and will not move the train. With both steam and diesel affected I suspect that everything else is also affected in some way. Testing should have picked up these faults.

I get the same problem going from x2380 to x2381.
Wheelslip comes up on notch 2 on an engine with wheelslip control.

Can also confirm after testing various Diesels, getting wheelslip at low throttle positions, Electrics OK so far. Not tested any steam locos.

Ok, so there's a side effect to the modification I did in revision 2381.
For Diesel locomotives, it now believes the mass of the locomotive is more or less the mass of the fuel.
I'll try to find where this problem comes from.

Fixed in revision 2383 for Diesel locomotives.

OK. Now can you fix the steam locomotives. Some start with priming boilers, some start with blown plugs and some seem to be ok. All should be starting with 8 inches of water in the glass, but this is not so. levels vary from 8 inches and priming to 0 inches and out of water. The OK ones only have 3.1 inches in the glass.

Fixed in revision 2385 for Steam locomotives.
The rolling stock code is sometimes organized weirdly, that's why we had those bugs after a reorganization.

That is what testing is supposed to pick up. No code should ever be released with a bug like this in it.
