If the colour light signal has two aspects, and they are one STOP and the other one RESTRICTING, or CLEAR_1, or CLEAR_2, it is handled by the script like a semaphore.

Couple of questions on the Overspeed monitor INI.

1. ResetlevelMpS = Setting this 5 mph below the critical speed does not reset, after the overspeed has been triggered. Does this token have a different meaning?

2. Overspeed sound = Appears to be linked to the AWS warning sound. Can the overspeed have a different sound?

Thanks

[Csantucci]

1. ResetLevelMpS isn't implemented in the built-in OR Overspeed Monitor and isn't implemented either in the AWS TCS script, sorry.
2. You can use these two events: case 111: return Event.TrainControlSystemActivate; case 112: return Event.TrainControlSystemDeactivate to start and stop the sound by adding the related streams in the TCS_AWS_UK.sms file and by replacing TriggerSoundWarning1() with TriggerSoundSystemActivate() and TriggerSoundWarning2() with TriggerSoundSystemDeactivate() within the UpdateOverspeedMonitor() method starting at line 635 of TCS_AWS_UK.cs. These are the last two free TCS triggers.

Many thanks for the information Carlo.

[Stijn D.C.]

On my personal ORTS code i use this + .events.cs code for overspeedsound on standard ORTS TCS:

protected virtual void UpdateOverSpeedSound(float elapsedClockSeconds)
{
if (TrainControlSystem.OverspeedWarning)
SignalEvent(Event.OverspeedSoundOn);

else if (!TrainControlSystem.OverspeedWarning)
SignalEvent(Event.OverspeedSoundOff);
}

Is use it must on time for ETCS overspeed whistle :-), but is better that this works on .tcs script.

Becauze now this overspeed sound works too when there is .tcs script active.

But i use cabanimation for show hide aspect displays... on cabines that have more signal systems. And with SetStreamVolume code in .sms files this is fixed

That is why i prefer that in future .tcs scripts can be switched in game, with ALT + SHIFT + 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9 keys. (1-9 on normal keyzone, not NUMPAD)

Very usefull for routes & trains that drives on more country's and signal systems (like classic line & TGV)

Many thanks again Carlo. That worked 100% ;)

Hi Carlo.

Question about the Overspeed script. When the Overspeed is triggered, the AWS shows the warning sunflower. Is it possible in the INI/script/AWS.ace to avoid this?

Thanks

[Csantucci]

You should delete line 780, that is

                            SetNextSignalAspect(Aspect.Approach_3);

in method UpdateOverspeedMonitor().

[Coolhand101]

Many thanks!

Along with the previous instruction, I can now finally have the BR 125 HSTs fitted with an overspeed trip for traction cut off ;)

Now that Carlo's work is over I have found this very useful document online.
BR and BR-WR AWS Manual

Comprehensive description of the Automatic Warning System.

Hello
A question for Carlos and the OR Development team:
When will the AWS script function in the "other" version of OpenRails (not MG)?
I am having a look at getting the AWS to function in a variety of ways in different stock, but have the problem that AWS seems only to function in the MG version, whereas there are some developments with vacuum brakes on steam and diesel locos made over the past few months, that only seem to work correctly in the XNA version - notably the function of the large and small ejector on steam locomotives - it is possible to release the brakes on these locos without using any ejectors to suck the air out.
One of the recent additions to brake code that will be very useful for AWS and DVD operation is the addition of the air or vacuum governors. These can now be included in eng files using the following:

ORTSDoesVacuumBrakeCutPower ( 1 )
ORTSBrakeCutsPowerAtBrakePipePressure ( 12.5inHg )
ORTSBrakeRestoresPowerAtBrakePipePressure ( 16inHg )

ORTSDoesBrakeCutPower ( 1 )
ORTSBrakeCutsPowerAtBrakePipePressure ( 46psi )
ORTSBrakeRestoresPowerAtBrakePipePressure ( 60psi )
