I will be working on a mod for the F40PH in the next week or so. It will be modeled after my GE Genesis (P42DC) modification. Hopefully, after this mod, we will actually be able to reach 100 mph with the F40.

Here is my first highlight of progress. The modification is actually progressing much more quickly than I had anticipated, and I should have a pack ready for download by the end of the week (watch in 720p or higher for the player to work):


Parameter Change Log (so far):
1. Change RPM range to 260 - 893.
2. Adjust Tractive Effort to EMD F59PHI values. Original Tractive Effort values are all messed up
3. Adjust Braking Effort curve to simulate realism.
4. Adjust amp limits so that the in cab ammeter displays properly.

This pack also converts the No-Conductor locomotives (the locomotives that do not have crew members in the cabs) into HEP running versions.
The parameter changes for those locomotives are the same as the ones for the non-HEP versions except for the following:
1. Change RPM range to 893 - 894.

I have not yet decided whether to lower the tractive effort ratings for the HEP version, and I may very well leave the two TE curves identical. Other than that, I think this is 98% complete.

Speed Test:

And they said adding HEP to the F40PH was impossible...

Great work. See if i can get the F40PH so i can use this :)


Now i am off to link your video to a review saying that adding HEP is impossible.

When they said that, they meant that adding an HEP feature to that locomotive was impossible. My modification converts one of the two versions (the one with no driver) of the F40PH into an HEP unit, while the unit with the driver functions as the locomotive with the HEP off. It's not exactly adding an HEP feature that can be toggled on or off, but in the mean time, this is passable.

Complete; uploading to file library now.

Its not in the fire library as far as i can see...

Sad Face :C

Be patient, there is a backlog at the file library. It will be up as soon as it can be.

Didn't know that there was a backing in the library.


Sorry :3
