If your meaning these MSTS settings as seen in the Acela I have not seen them implemented yet but will use to protect some of my DC locomotives when it's available.

DoesBrakeCutPower( 1 )
BrakeCutsPowerAtBrakeCylinderPressure( 15 )

Yes, these setting where used in every trainset of mine.
I would like to see a similar parameter, as i cannot get the "ORTSEmergencyCausesThrottleDown (1)" to function.

Thanks

I've been adjusting one of my diesel engines that has a Vigilance system.

From what i can tell, the only two parameters that applies an effect in the Vigilance Monitor are :-

• MonitoringDeviceAppliesFullBrake( 1 )
  
• MonitoringDeviceAppliesEmergencyBrake( 1 )

The other two :-

• MonitoringDeviceAppliesCutsPower( 1 )
  
• MonitoringDeviceAppliesShutsDownEngine( 1 )

Have no effect.

This means that when vigilance applies the brakes, the power does not cut.

The ORTS tokens :-

• ORTSEmergencyCausesThrottleDown(1)
  
• ORTSEmergencyCausesPowerDown(1)

I cannot get these to work.


The Overspeed Monitor applies that work are :-

• MonitoringDeviceAppliesFullBrake( 1 )
  
• MonitoringDeviceAppliesEmergencyBrake( 1 )

The other two:-

• MonitoringDeviceAppliesCutsPower( 1 )
  
• MonitoringDeviceAppliesShutsDownEngine( 1 )

Do not work.

The Emergency Stop Monitor.
I cannot seem to get any function to work in OR. In MSTS for diesel engines, if the emergency brake(backspace key) was applied, you could not get power again, unit you press the Z reset key. The apply token that worked was :

• MonitoringDeviceAppliesCutsPower( 1 )

These are my observations, so i welcome any feedback. But looking at the so many options to 'cut the power', none seem to work.

I should point out, this testing was only used on diesel engines!

Thanks

After I have inspected the code:
MonitoringDeviceAppliesCutsPower( 1 ) has been implemented only for electrics;
MonitoringDeviceAppliesShutsDownEngine( 1 ) hasn't been implemented at all;
ORTSEmergencyCausesThrottleDown(1) should work, but it requires that also EmergencyBrake or FullBrake have been triggered;
ORTSEmergencyCausesPowerDown(1) hasn't been implemented at all.

Many thanks again for checking this.

Does the "MonitoringDeviceAppliesCutsPower( 1 )" work in all the monitors ?

The "ORTSEmergencyCausesThrottleDown(1)", or you saying that this only works if one of these two tokens

•MonitoringDeviceAppliesFullBrake( 1 )

•MonitoringDeviceAppliesEmergencyBrake( 1 )

are triggered ? If so, do these applies to all the monitors, are just the Emergency Stop Monitor ?

Thanks

MonitoringDeviceAppliesCutsPower( 1 ) works for Vigilance, Overspeed and EmergencyStop monitors.
Apparently ORTSEmergencyCausesThrottleDown(1) works only if MonitoringDeviceAppliesFullBrake( 1 ) or MonitoringDeviceAppliesEmergencyBrake( 1 ) are defined and triggered by any of the three monitors.

Okay. I be updating my electric locos very soon.

Right, this is what i thought and tested, however i don't think this applies to diesel engines, because i just cannot get it to function in any monitor.

Just the be clear, the ORTSEmergencyCausesThrottleDown(1) goes in the engine section and not the monitor section?

Thanks

[Csantucci]

Yes, ORTSEmergencyCausesThrottleDown goes in the engine section.

It's looking more likely, that this does not apply to diesel engines.

Unless i'm doing something obviously wrong, can anyone test out the above on diesel engines to confirm if it does or does not function. If it does, pleese post you ENG file here!

Running out of ideas for my diesels. The setup is so prototypical.

Is no one else experiencing this problem?

Thanks
