Hello,

Have someone the problem that this tokens not work:

DoesBrakeCutPower ( 1 )
BrakeCutsPowerAtBrakeCylinderPressure ( 1.0bar )

When you are in train with TCS script , without TCS script it works.


In advance thanks,

Stijn

Are they in the TCS script or the eng file? I am not certain, but I think the TCS script overwrites the eng file and so the eng file is ignored and only the TCS script file is read.

Hello,

DoesBrakeCutPower ( 1 )
BrakeCutsPowerAtBrakeCylinderPressure ( 1.0bar )


Are in .eng file

Indeed the TCS scripts takes over and ignore al standard MSTS monitors and traincontolsystem data. But that two important lines too.

Two things here.

First TCS scripts should only disable things in any of

EmergencyStopMonitor( )
VigilanceMonitor( )
OverspeedMonitor( )

So if it is inside one of those sections then

DoesBrakeCutPower ( 1 )
BrakeCutsPowerAtBrakeCylinderPressure ( 1.0bar )

will not be used, but if it is in the normal braking section it should work.

Second the other thing that can be used now in OR is

ORTSDoesBrakeCutPower ( 1 )
ORTSBrakeCutsPowerAtBrakePipePressure ( 3.0bar )
ORTSBrakeRestoresPowerAtBrakePipePressure ( 4.0bar )

This one should definitely work if placed with the normal braking information.

Hi there. I tend to delete the MSTS entries in the quote in vehicles where the GPZ TCS script is placed.

Hello,

These parameters are used in the TCS script only.

In the default TCS, you have this code that manages this functionality:

SetTractionAuthorization(!DoesBrakeCutPower() || LocomotiveBrakeCylinderPressureBar() < BrakeCutsPowerAtBrakeCylinderPressureBar());

So, in the custom TCS script, if this (or something similar) is not defined, then nothing happens.<script src="chrome-extension://hhojmcideegachlhfgfdhailpfhgknjm/web_accessible_resources/index.js">

Hello,

SetTractionAuthorization((!DoesBrakeCutPower() || LocomotiveBrakeCylinderPressureBar() < BrakeCutsPowerAtBrakeCylinderPressureBar()) && !EmergencyBraking); => works


:sign_thanks: Thanks Serana ;-)

Hello!
In the following video described the Aspect change by TCS script.
Video of Signal Aspect change

The sound is called by TriggerSoundInfo2() function. But I didn't found a way to stop it.

                    else if (RSLastSignalAspect == Aspect.Approach_1 && RSLowConfirmationTimer.Triggered
                            || RSLastSignalAspect == Aspect.Approach_2 && RSLowConfirmationTimer.Triggered)
                    {
                        if (!RSPressed)
                        {
                            TriggerSoundInfo2();                       
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            RSCode = RSCODE.ALSN_4;
                            TriggerSoundAlert2();
                            RSPressed = true;
                            RSEmergencyTimer.Stop();
                        }
                    }

In this section of my code I solved the issue by triggering a sound that doesn't have a reference in sms file but I wanted to ask if there is a more conventional way to stop a triggered sound?

Oleg

Hi,

The way you described is the conventional way.

[VicenteIR]

Thank you, Serana.
Can you please explain shortly about Aspect.Permission in TrainControlSystem.cs enums?
As my scarce understanding, Aspect.None we gets when the Simulator doesn't able to show any Aspect, like in the case of SPAD or when there is no Signals between the train and end of track (more cases maybe?). What Aspect does have a Signal Head ahead for Aspect.Permission value?

Regards
Oleg

[Serana]

Looking at the code, it seems like this state is not yet usable in the TCS scripts... while the simulator is able to display this state in the track monitor.
This state is supposed to be selected when the aspect of the signal is STOP and the driver presses the TAB key to request permission to the dispatcher to pass the signal at danger.

[VicenteIR]

Thank you very much! Now it's clear.
I've one more issue with Emergency braking. It's an EmergencyBrakes timer in the code. A Penalty must to be activated if a player doesn't pressig the reset button. If so, of course, the timer stops. The problem is that even if the reset button was pressed and Emergency brakes doesn't activated, a massage is still appears on the screen. It means, when the timer is triggered and the reset button was pressed before, a player sees "Emergency brakes applied" without brakes themselves. The same happens when the timer in the code stops. "Emergency brakes released" is on the screen. How can I hide those messages?

Oleg
