I am doing the "Efficient Haulage Part 1" and for some reason I am stuck --- no train power. The RPM is way up, goes up with throttle, but the Amps always stays at 0.00.. I tried all the controls, I can't get the Amps to go up.. What's wrong?
Are the brakes still applied? Some of DTG's locomotives have some weird bit of programming that shuts off alternator loading if the brake cylinders have over a certain amount of pressure in them.
It is a normal GP7 from what I can tell so Engine in to Forward, Release Train Brakes, Release Loco Brakes and Check Dynamic Brakes are off. Take power. The train brakes might be slow in releasing if it is a big train.
I've completed this scenario, no issues....No long brake release issues.....just reran it again, no issues moving off..330 RPM+ 0 Amps when at idle, Amps top out @490 at 25% power then drop steadily to ~270 A (this near the start on 1.5% grade)....Try the usual, Clear Cache then try again...If no luck then Verify files, if no luck Uninstall Clinchfield then reinstall Clinchfield..
