IHH Kestral locomotive.

Unread postby jpetersjr » Thu Sep 22, 2011 9:35 pm

I just downloaded the new free IHH Kestral locomotive, and when I try to drive it I can't make it move, the brake is off, reverser full forward and some throttle, but still, it won't move.

Anyone else experiencing this, and if so have you figured out the problem with it.

How much throttle did you give it? Seems like you need around 50% to make it budge, from then on it moves well. But it just seems like the brake is always being applied a bit. Slows down quite quickly if the throttle is on idle. Also the seating position is about a foot behind the actual seat so you can't see worth a dern not to mention the texture on the windows makes it look like everything is quite foggy.

The exterior model and the sounds are great but the interior is kinda meh. Not sure if this is up to his normal quality since I've been looking to buy some of his stuff but the screen shots are not exactly abundant and hardly shows any interior shots. I was hoping the Kestral would make me want to purchase quite a few of his products but now I'm not quite so sure.

Well, I've seen his steam locomotives and they are superb, so I have no idea what he did wrong with this model. Probably because he planned to make it a free item.

I'll have to try it again though.

Later I plan to buy some of his steamers. That is, when I have the money.

I got the free Kestral and she runs quite well, supposed to be the most powerful diesel engine in its day. Really nice model.
