This is a tool for calculating several key values when using ORTS-specific diesel locomotive settings. It puts out DieselPowerTab, DieselConsumptionTab, ThrottleRPMTab, DieselTorqueTab and ORTSMaxTractiveForceCurves according to the values defined. Have fun!

Thanks for Your work.
Automation is expectably helpful.
Why *.exe-file is so big?

I don´t know.

Other programs made in LiveCode (the friction calculator) are of similar size despite having less code, so I guess it is kinda default setting.

Awesome! I've mostly made my curves from estimates based on the few complete data sets I have (EMD 567B, EMD 645E3), so having this tool handy will be very useful.
