LOAD_METER shows only amps. I think that ORTS_SIGNED_TRACTION_BRAKING should be used as reference, which allows also force units. But the UoM can't be selected; the only possible difference will be showing metric values (kN) or non-metric values (kLbs).
ok, LOAD_METER shows amps, but what works and I do is put my amps as kgf effort. So in my case, my locomotives makes 90000kgf of tractive effort, so I simply put this value in the MaxCurrent field in the .eng and on the LOAD_METER command on CVF file. Same for dynamic brake.
It works exactly as the real life, comparing a specific scenery (same route, track grade, train weight, etc).
Plus it would allow any UoM, including Amps to work on the DPU.
The negative side is that we don't have the UoM unit after the number displayed, but since the real screen dont shows the unit, most of the times, I believe this is not a big problem.
