Amtrak AEM-7DC Physics Upgrade WIP

[FanRailer]

Moving on to the AEM-7DC that is currently out:
I have modified the performance of the AEM-7DC based on the information that can be found in figures 11.2.10, 11.2.11, and 11.2.12 of this document:
http://www2.hcmuaf.edu.vn/data/phamducd ... tation.pdf - Scroll to page 11-27.

Here is the new TE curve for the AEM-7DC:

And here is the new brake curve. I had to double the braking effort commanded in the curve since the blend braking function on the AEM-7DC as it currently operates only commands for a maximum of 50% of dynamic brake:

I will be conducting performance tests and video recording in the very near future. Stay tuned for the videos and the release.

This is the Amtrak EMD AEM-7DC Physics Upgrade pack.

In order to utilize this freeware physics upgrade, you must have purchased the Northeast Corridor Add-On pack available at Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/65232/

This is a freeware pack; in no way is it to be used for commercial purposes. You are free, however to further modify the physics enhancements found in this pack for personal use if you so choose.

THIS IS NOT A SOUND UPGRADE PACK. Physics adjustments made around the existing sounds

The purpose of this pack is to correct some physics errors in the original AEM-7.

Parameter Change Log:
1. Adjusted tractive effort and braking effort curves based on real world figures available online: http://www2.hcmuaf.edu.vn/data/phamducd ... tation.pdf
2. Adjusted maximum amperage ratings; 2250 for traction and 970 for braking. Traction amps based here: http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k329 ... 11Kvsm.jpg

For more specifics on the specific values that were changed, proceed here: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=10793

IMPORTANT; Install Instructions; Remember to ALWAYS create a backup file in case you need to revert.

1. Open the Northeast Corridor asset pack until the directory reads "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\RSC\NorthEastCorridor\RailVehicles\Electric\AEM7\Default\Simulation"
2. Then open the "Railworks_AEM-7DC_Physics_Mod.rar" file.
3. Drag all files from the .rar file and into the directory you opened in step one.
4. Overwrite if asked.
5. The installation should be complete. Run TS2014 to check.

Thank you for downloading and installing.
Enjoy =)
