E8 sound and throttle detents

Unread postby NKP1 » Tue Mar 19, 2013 9:06 pm

Hi, I've downloaded and installed Dick's E8 payware. And having fun running a new C&O passenger train on Tori's route. I have two problems with that loco, One is the sound. I'm sorry but it just doesn't sound nearly as nice as the F7. Also what's with the old default throttle detent setting or 13%? That's a bit high when your trying to make up a nice passenger train. Is it possible to have a lower detent of say 7%? Thanks.

Its 13% because you can't have 12.5%

Even then that's wrong. The power output isnt linear like it has been in the past few games. It should be exponential. So 6 - 12 - etc etc etc.
