It seems to have a fairly complete ADU, so we should enhance it.

We can be much more faithful to the real thing compared to vanilla. Here's what needs to change:

Blended braking needs a redo. See Fan Railer's video of a station stop: The initial brake application is made with air, which then backs off in favor of dynamics, followed by air again when the dynamics lose their effectiveness.

The ramp up time for the throttle should be significantly quicker than the stock 5 seconds. And a similar ramp needs to be introduced for the dynamic brakes.

We need to apply a workaround for that old Railworks bug where the dynamics are more effective the longer the MU consist is.

As always, Fan Railer will ship the physics curves, and OpenNEC will provide the script.

Since this is a boolean, I think this should be changed to "return (r as number) === 1;"

I've just installed version 2.0 of openNEC, however it appears my game sounds are silent.

The vanilla ACS-64 doesn't have blended braking. Open NEC v1 did. It was removed again for v2, and people have noticed.

Per Fan Railer's advice, the PSI-based logic Dovetail implemented for the rest of their locos is close enough for the ACS.

A new AEM-7 model has arrived. I don't own it yet but it looks nice from screenshots. Just needs OpenNEC support and it will be better.

Hi

I observed an issue with Amtrak Acela on the Typical Day scenari0

The signals are all green but the ATC readout says 20 MPH for the route. The track speed is correct and enforced but the signal speed doesnt seem right and is not even enforced at 20 mph..

thank you

I have noticed on the NJT style ADU in the cab cars of the Comet V and Multilevel, the green arc does not show the track speed limit, but functions as the speed needle of a gauge. The alarms turn on and whatnot, but you don't exactly know what speed limit you have with the current set up of the ADU.

From various videos on youtube, it looks like the HHP-8s horn does not automatically activate the bell and flashing ditchlights in addition the ditchlights can be turned on and flash independently of the headlight setting as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7REvDHiqDxU

it would be great if it is possible to add these mods into OpenNEC to make the HHP-8s lights behave simillar to reality.

It would be fun to give cheats to the player like:

• Setting the cab signal code
• Switching power modes instantly
• Combining the signal and track speeds on the 2-speed ADU to mimic the contemporary style

To navigate through the cheats menu, use a short press of the Q key to move, and a long press to select. To enter the cheats menu, TBD.

In the real world, cab signals occasionally display an unintended aspect for a brief few seconds. This phenomenon is called a "cab flip," and safety systems are programmed to handle it.

Due to the placement of track circuits and the performance of the onboard computer, there is also a perceptible delay between passing a wayside signal and the moment the train receives the corresponding cab signal.

It would be nice to simulate both of these effects.

The route's developers do not recommend using this mod with their route because Open NEC causes "errors." Hopefully, we can get those issues resolved so the mods will be fully compatible.

Hello, first time commenting/posting. I noticed whenever the ALP-45DP is in diesel powered mode the throttle only powers to 61% and the RPMS are limited to around 1300. this only happens when the train starts in diesel mode and this applies to the Comet IV,V and Multilevel Cab Car when the ALP-45DP is the locomotive on the consist. When the Locomotive is in electric overhead mode this does not happen but the locomotive seems to be consuming fuel. Starting the locomotive in electric overhead mode and then changing over to diesel mode causes the throttle issue and limits the RPMS. id be happy to provide screen captures if needed.

Hi

Can you pls advise where and how the files are supposed to be installed?
