TS2017 --> set to borderless, thence exit program
Save all the files to the plugin directory as instructed
Find the .ap files and unpacked them with 7-zip.
Find the .out engine files and patch them with the program; message all was succesful appeared.
Run TS2017
Run the helper.exe. Message appears that version 0.13 is running
Start a quick drive with ICE 2 and or 3 on tracks Augsburg/Munich and Hannover-Hamburg
No overlay....
My 15 year ols son solved this problem. When I unpack a file I am used to doing so in a sub-directory (in order to be able to know which files were unpacked and which ones were already in the folder. When we used the option: Extract Here the problem was solved.

This also solved the issue with not being able to select the train.

Thanks for the help!

Glad you've sorted it Daniel :) Enjoy.

Hello Havner,

Yes it has been solved. Next up is trying to get the joystick working on the BR426... When I run into issues I will report back. Thanks :)

Hello Havner,
I'm having problems with the TrainBrakeControl on the TGV, it doesn't work.
The engine and dynamic brake are fine and so is the throttle.
I first thought it was a custom control which I could add, but I cannot see one.
Any ideas?

I'm having problems with the TrainBrakeControl on the TGV, it doesn't work.
The engine and dynamic brake are fine and so is the throttle.
I first thought it was a custom control which I could add, but I cannot see one.
Any ideas?
I pressume it's VirtualBrake which is far from custom. To be 100% sure analyze the input mapper. It will be the same ControlValue that keys are controlling.
If it's really is VirtualBrake then the reason for it not working _might_ be some custom scripting that requires the brake to snap precisely into notched values. I've seen such locos. In such a case you need a custom config for it and define the notches as they are in the file you pasted.

Just looked at the input mapper file and the value is going to the virtual brake.
I have tried defining the notches before but no luck.
Could I just change the input mapper entry from VirtualBrake to TrainBrakeControl?

Code: Select all

<iInputMapper-cInputMapEntry d:id="128268">
					<State d:type="sInt32">0</State>
					<Device d:type="cDeltaString">Keyboard</Device>
					<ButtonState d:type="cDeltaString">ButtonDown</ButtonState>
					<Button d:type="cDeltaString">Key_SemiColon</Button>
					<ShiftButton d:type="cDeltaString">NoShift</ShiftButton>
					<Axis d:type="cDeltaString">NoAxis</Axis>
					<Name d:type="cDeltaString">DecreaseControlStart</Name>
					<Parameter d:type="cDeltaString">VirtualBrake</Parameter>
					<NewState d:type="sInt32">0</NewState>
				</iInputMapper-cInputMapEntry>
				<iInputMapper-cInputMapEntry d:id="128278">

No, that's approaching the problem completely from the wrong side.

1. Input mapper has no influence on TSH, it just can be used to figure out which control value we should control (which the loco's author wants us to control).
2. If the author decided the VirtualBrake is to be used that means that TrainBrakeControl is some internal representation of a brake that should not be visible (heck, might be even unusable) to the user. It's all in the loco's scripting how the VirtualBrake is mapped to the TrainBrakeControl and to the loco's blueprint how the latter is mapped to the engine.

When you do use VirtualBrake does the lever work when you put it in maximum and/or minimum position?

apologies Havner I was in a rush this afternoon, as soon as I posted I realised that the keyboard mapper has nothing to do with TSH.
The VirtualBrake does work when I put it to maximum and minimum in the HUD

You mean using the joystick? And you see it in the overlay?
If so, then it's what I said initially. You need to configure the notches to be exactly what they are in the blueprint file.

I meant the F4 HUD, overlay shows the Train brake stuck at 90%, joystick does nothing. Done the correct notches.

Then honestly I have no idea. There was a loco once that exhibited similar behaviour. Actually two, but the reasons were different for each. I've put some workarounds for that. You might try those.

1. tshStep["TrainBrake"] = 0.03
This will most likely not work, but give it a try.

2. tshSetControlTargetValue["TrainBrake"] = true
This is a heavy guns. I still don't fully understand it, but there is a loco that requires is (less so after one patch though).

Let me know if anything worked.

As a side note, I've looked at the engine file again, and those notches don't seem to actually be notches, just range notifiers for the HUD. I might be wrong though.

I run the TGV using a Raildriver and I can confirm it uses the VirtualBrake with a range of -1, 1.2 and notches of -1.00, -0.10, 0.00, 0.10, 1.00, 1.20.
It does not require the SetControlTargetValue to work.

Thanks CobraOne,
Havner, does this help me in any way?- I'm still stuck.
It's a combined throttle / dynamic brake as TSH behaves on my joystick without adding any custom configs.
the train brake doesn't want to know, which I need.
