Throttle Question

Hi all,

I'm working on something and i have a question that may seem stupid.

I am wondering is it possible to do this. When you throttle up say to 50 per cent or whatever value. it has a delay of a few seconds or whatever instead of immediately reacting? So instead of the train moving as soon as you throttle up it takes a few seconds to respond.

Is there a way to make this delay possible??

Thanks for the help!

SORRY THIS QUESTION IS ACTUALLY FOR MSTS

Aint it so in real life too ??? You have to build up some power to move such a big metal block :D

I'm no expert here, but (combustion-electic engine wise) if you throttle up it takes a while for the engine to build up speed. This will have a direct result in the power output of the generators. On the way down, you can just cut off the power to the traction motors.

Its something along those lines but i want to try and implement it into MSTS!

I thought MSTS was supposed to be perfect and superior to RS in every way?

Well on in fairness RS doesn't have a delay either so they are equal on this front!

After making the effort to model field diverts, I'm quite surprised. I still can't blow the traction motors now matter how hard I try so I guess they've got some work to do.

Hi
You can try

MaxForce ( 650.65kN )
MaxContinuousForce ( 550kN )
RunUpTimeToMaxForce ( 10.0 )
MaxDieselLevel( 720gal )
MaxVelocity ( 74mph )
MaxCurrent ( 1800A )

Not quite what you want.

Cheers
Jon

And just in case someone wants to know for KRS, it is Time to Get to Max Force in the Diesel Hydraulic
Sub System Blueprint.
