Ive just got the euor loco pack!
Very nice indeed

However is there any chance that the lines of the ENG file that need to be edited to give the correct speed can be posted on here?
Sorry if they've been posted somewere else and i aint noticed

Cheers
Guy

I think there's a fix from the JT website Guy. You need to registar your pack then you can download updates.

Megatron,

I believe that Just Trains have the .eng files that were substantially modified by Stuart (crepello) and from his description of how much time he had put into getting them 'just so', I think there are too many 'tweaks' to list! Not that this is a criticism of the original .eng files, but three cheers for Stuart as well!

Crepello,

Was it you that fixed the Voyager eng file ?

Buffy,

Yes, that was me.

Just wanted to say thanks.

I lost all my mail between you sending it and me publishing the SuperVoyager, so I couldn't properly credit you in the readme.

No problem. And thanks for the thanks

Stuart

ok ive managed to register online now and got the update

What a peice of work that eng file is stuart!
I had a glance over and the figures were extremely precise!!!
I must admit the HST now handles like a dream and just like id expected it to in real life!!!
Ive made a nice activity on ROb's ECML with it but i keep getting a broken coupler message 2/3rds through

Ah well!!
But well done again Stuart!

Thanks. I'm glad you like it. It should be reasonably realistic.

I've had broken couplers too on the same route, with various trains. You can get round the problem by increasing the coupling break values by a factor of 10 or 100.

Stuart

um i dont understand the coupler values so any chance you could help me with which figure i should be changing and what i should change it too?
Cheers Stuart

Thanx
Guy

Try changing the line in the .eng and .wag files that says something like:

Break ( 1.1e7N 1.1e7N )

to:

Break ( 1.1e9N 1.1e9N )

What you're doing there is increasing the coupling breaking force from an already silly 1,120 tonnes-force to a totally ridiculous 112,000 tonnes-force. Hopefully that should do the trick.

Stuart

ok stuart cheers m8!!
Hopefully that'll sort it and i can run the length of my activity and maybe upload it!
Cheers again!

Hey - come on guys. My original .eng file wasn't *that* bad

Well - not considering I'm working from America with very little access to the data. Anyhoo - it's nice to see someone doing a bang-up job on sorting out the figures. User support always helps with aftermarket products. Pity MS don't feel the same about the core product itself
