Dynamic brake simulation
When using the train brake at speeds above 4mph, the class 91 will use the dynamic
brake to contribute to the braking effort. As a result, the bogie brake cylinder
pressure gauge will remain at 0 during braking, above 8mph. Between 8 and 4mph,
the air brake is blended in and the bogie brake cylinder pressure gauge will start
registering pressure until the full pressure for the selected brake notch is reached, at
4mph.
Speed set cruise control
The driver can select a speed to maintain by using the rotary switch available, in
5mph increments. Selecting a speed of 0mph disables the cruise control. The cruise
control will activate only if the power handle is away from off, and the power used
will depend on the power handle position. Once the target speed is reached, the
power is cut back automatically in order to maintain it. If required, the dynamic brake
may activate to maintain the speed.
Please note that for track with a speed limit of 125mph, the simulator will start
recording overspeed as the train goes above 125mph, even by 0.1mph. Be aware
then that when setting the cruise control to 125mph, the train can, and most likely
will, go slightly above that, resulting in the simulator recording speed violations.
Neutral section functionality
The class 91 and Mk4 DVT will react to the neutral sections available on the WCML
Over Shap route. On top of this, they will also function with the neutral sections
present in the three included scenarios. These have been placed using our own
markers and signage which are available in the ‘AP/Common’ object set filter folder.
Improved class 91 ‘blunt
-
end’ simulation
The class 91 has scripting so that it can be driven as naturally as possible from both
cab ends. To allow this, it is required to tell our scripting which cab end you are
currently driving from. When entering a cab that is inactive, there is a large
inscription in the cab window, telling the driver to either p
ress ‘Ctrl+1’
to activate the
no.1 cab, or ‘Ctrl
+2
’
to activate the no.2 end cab. Doing this allows you to use the
reverser as you would in reality, rather than the reverse logic which was present in
the default set up.
