Apparently, gradient forces calculated for flipped cars are now wrong.
But this begs believe. For a very long time things work quite well : downhill you had to brake, uphill you had to apply power - flipped engines or cars or not.
So how can this now suddenly be so very wrong? What change has recently been made that introduced this basic error?
At the moment, I'm seriously worried about the progress of OR. We're not moving toward 1.0 at all - we seem to be moving away from it.
For a long time I used an 'old' version (some months old) because of pending timetable updates. Last week this update was committed. So I moved to the latest version. Since then, there have been a series of problems which were not present in the old version. And these are not just minor problems - but main problems effecting the actual running of trains.
I'll not mention certain controversial warnings, but apart from that :
- Incorrect errors because sound-files were not properly looked for (only in route directory, not MSTS sound directory).
- Error in power settings which caused brake problems as compressor was put out of action.
- Error in force calculation which apparently calculates wrong force for flipped cars.
I'm quite sure this last error did not exist in the old version. So I would dearly like to know what change has caused this error, and why that change was made.
