Reporting back that the helper locomotive now is indeed under the advanced adhesion model,and shows similar characteristics to the main locomotive at starting.
Coming back to the adhesion model, I still am curious why the weather coefficient was applied to the entire C-K equation (A,B,C) when the original C-K equation only the "C" factor really changes with weather conditions. Was this based on additional research perhaps?
Hi Joe,
Hah - caught my attention - while wheel slip in realistic conditions would be more than welcome - we need some means to retard the animation of the running gear while slipping - going from 5 RPM to 100000 RPM in a millisecond and the distorted sounds that come with it - seems to ruin the effect - at least for me. I've spent a bunch of time looking at steam locomotives slipping - and - they don't slip like we see in ORTS. I'm of no help with the equations calculating slippage - unfortunately.
Regards,
Scott
