This is the Metro-North Kawasaki M8 Physics Upgrade Pack, 2015 Edition.

In order to utilize this freeware physics upgrade, you must have purchased the Metro-North Kawasaki M8 EMU Add-On available at Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/258647/

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. The Leslie RS2M + door sound pack will be released separately from this pack.

The purpose of this pack is to improve accuracy of the tractive and braking effort curves, reflect the TE limit of 15,000 lbf in the on-screen TE monitor, and tweak car weights slightly.

Parameter Change Log:
1. Modified Tractive Effort and Dynamic Brake curves based on 800 kW power rating per car and 15,000 lbf (66.7233 kN) starting effort and 22,500 lfb (100.85 kN) braking effort.
2. Maximum sustainable speed limited to 100 mph via changes to TE curve file.
3. Ampere parameters adjusted so that cab TE monitor display is limited to 15,000 lbf for TE and 22,500 lbf braking effort.
4. Weights modified to match those in manual; A car = 65.7 metric tons, B car = 65.2 metric tons
5. Updated brake pressure specs to prevent stuck brakes after extended operation; also enable actuation of dynamic brakes @ 35% of brake handle position instead of 50%.

IMPORTANT; Install Instructions

1. Proceed to open folders until your directory reads "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\RSC\M8Pack01\".
