Train Simulator Classic - Update Notes - 1st November

Today we are bringing an update for Union Pacific Big Boy. Download Size should be 941.3MB.

• Steam from the exhaust injector changeover and overflow
• Headlight beam toggle now applies also to the red beam from the tender's back up light.
• All pop-up messages can now be switched on and off by clicking on the "Ash Pan Right Front" valve in the cab.
• The auto-engineer observes a maximum speed limit of 80mph even if the track speed limit is higher.
• By default the auto-engineer applies a safety margin to the target speed, which means it stays a few miles per hour below track speed. That’s suitable for downhill runs as it prevents speeding when the grade suddenly gets steeper. However, for uphill runs the safety margin can be disabled (Ctrl E), thereby freeing the EAE to attempt to hold the speed closer to track speed.
• "wind wings" can now be configured (on or off) for AI locos (done in the Scenario Editor by means of the auto-numbering field - put a hash symbol in the leftmost digit to hide the deflectors)
• Stoker rate increased from 22,000 lbs/h to 25,478.4 lbs/h.
• It's now possible to lose most or all of the air in the auxiliary reservoirs, which in turn drastically reduces the train braking.
• Overall improvements to texturing benefitting from the use of Substance Painter.
• Twin air compressors can now be heard instead of just one.
• More realistic injector (live and exhaust) sounds.
• More accurate translation from reverser quadrant notch to cutoff percentage.
• Better throttle response.
• Fix for the AI "ran out of water" error, allowing long runs with doubleheading or rear helper AI.
• Added a version of the tender with coal boards that increase the coal capacity by four tons. They are accessible from the scenario editor: [UP4000] Big Boy Tender [HD Clean Extra Coal] and [UP4000] Big Boy Tender [HD Dirty Extra Coal].

The update will download automatically for owners when it becomes available. Players should allow at least 24 hours after restarting Steam for the update to appear and before contacting Customer Support.
