[b] 13/04/2015 [/b] Today we are releasing a update for the AT&N Consolidation Class 280-157, details of what is included in this update are as follows: FIXED : - Whistle no longer muted after entering a scenario directly from the editor. - Eliminated a small glitch in the animation of the eccentric cranks. IMPROVEMENTS: [i] Note: Those marked as [Adv] are applicable only to the advanced (non-HUD-enabled) version. [/i] - Accurate starting tractive effort and improved performance (for example, boiler pressure increased to the prototypical 200psi) - Louder sounds (rod clanking, cylinder drain cocks, whistle, safety valves). - Cab rattling noise. - Quillable whistle. - Particle emitters re-worked for TS2015, including much denser stack smoke. - Two additional cab camera views. - Window glass re-textured with dirt around edges. - Water sight glass float is now much easier to see. - Headlight lens flare on full beam. - Steam pressure gauges given a more authentic dial face. - QD auto-numbering on tender and locomotive number both set to #201. - QD consist selection list tidied up and some more QD consists created. - HUD version can now be operated in Simple Controls mode. - [Adv] Scripted, realistic wheel slip and skid physics (with sparks). - [Adv] More advanced brake simulation, with independent brake bail-off, brake pipe pressure rate of change that depends on the length of the consist, and pressure differential between equalising reservoir and brake pipe. - [Adv] Player-selectable friction conditions (dry, wet, icy, "wet leaves"). - [Adv] Friction set automatically to "icy" in winter. - [Adv] Real steam chest with admission/exhaust valve events. - [Adv] Back pressure gauge. - [Adv] Piston over-speeding causes incremental damage that can lead to destruction of the cylinders. - [Adv] Hydrostatic lubricator must be operating to avoid cylinder damage when the pistons are in motion. - [Adv] Throttle jams in place when boiler is overfilled with water. - [Adv] Catastrophic damage when water overflows from the boiler into the cylinders. - [Adv] The cylinders will fill with steam only when the admission valves are open, which depends on the position of the slide valves and the cut-off. Thus, when starting from a standstill, the locomotive will not move if the cut-off is too short, depending on where the slide valves have stopped. - [Adv] At a standstill, condensation builds up in cylinders while cylinder drain cocks are closed. - [Adv] Water in the sight glass sloshes up and down when the locomotive is moving. - [Adv] Bass-enhanced chuffs fully synchronised with the pistons even during extreme wheel slip.
