Hi
Is there a way(a call) to get the max available tractive effort at the current speed of a locomotive in lua, that is easier than writing a code that opens the tractiveffortvsSpeed.dcsv file and reads from there?

You can call the locomotives current speed by " Call("GetSpeed") " and its current tractive effort by " Call("GetTractiveEffort") ". Theres a more full list of all the available calls here

I can get the current tractive effort with "Accelerometer" control value too, but i need the current MAX available tractive effort.

Don't think that's at all possible

If you only have a manageable amount of points in your csv file t wouldn't take too much just to have them stored in the script would it?
