Tractive Effort Units In Dscv Files

Hello
What units are in B column (Y) of TractiveEffortVsSpeed.dcsv and TractiveEffortVsThrottle.dcsv files? Kg, lbs or other?

Thanks
Jarek

 

I believe that it's kilograms, but you should check the developer documents to verify.
Train Simulator Developer Documentation

 

On the Train Sim Modding server on Discord I found this (from JachyHm)
(electric simulation subsystem)

DynamicBrakeVsSpeed is [m/s] and non-unit number from 0 to 1 where 1 means max brake force from simulation BP.
TractiveEffortVsThrottle 0 to 1 proportion of throttle and force [kN] (X throttle, Y kN)
TractiveEffortVsSpeed is speed [m/s] and force [kN] (X speed, Y kN)

It might be different for diesel/steam locos. I didn't know that it was in m/s instead of mph or kph.
There is alot of inconsistency in the simulation blueprint in TSC.

 

There are no units reported there.

 

m/s wow, some locos have values of mph.

Thanks anyway.
