How to drive a SuperSprinter (BR Class 158)

[natty]

I have just downloaded a SuperSprinter addon for MSTS and I wondered if anyone knows how to drive it?

I have downloaded the Cab and Passenger View files seperately, and everything loads fine, except no matter how hard I try I can't get past 12MPH.

I think that part of the problem is I can't locate the reverser or gear switch (if it has these at all) but to be honest, I'm no rolling stock expert.

Thanks

Which add-on is it - one from the library?

If you press F5 it will tell you what position the reverser is - check it's forward and the brakes are released then gently throttle - f5 will also show any wheelslip.

One problem it could be is that some 158s for MSTS are set up with vacuum brakes to replicate the physics better, but some may be airbraked. If the consist you're using mixes and matches the types then the brakes may not release properly.

It is file ID 11798 and used Ben Laws model with textures by Nick Stuart. Hope that helps.

I will try using F5. Are there some models without vacuum brakes? Can I download them here?

The reverser was stuck in neutral and I couldn't find the switch so I used the 'W' keyboard shortcut and now it works perfectly.

Glad it works! I can't remember which are the vac braked ones - have a look and the eng file and look for the line that says "braketype"
