Metro-North P32AC-DM Physics Mod Finally Underway

The mod is practically done. Just waiting on JohnS to send me his signature brake fix package, then it will be release-ready. Stay tuned.

Preview; readme file:
This is the Metro-North P32AC-DM & Shoreliner Cab Car Comprehensive Mod Pack V1.0 for TS2016

In order to utilize this freeware sound & physics upgrade, you must have purchased the "Metro-North P32 AC-DM 'Genesis' Loco Add-On" pack available at Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/258655/

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

THIS IS BOTH A SOUND AND PHYSICS UPGRADE PACK.

The main purpose of this pack is to make use of the proper horn and bell sound files that were somehow overlooked by DTG in the beta test process, introduce authentic Leslie RS2M horn sounds (exterior and cab versions) and authentic bell sounds (exterior and cab versions).

This pack also replaces the door sounds and adds brake release sounds.

From a physics perspective, this pack introduces new weight and tractive effort values to give a more realistic operating feel.

Included is the signature JohnS brake fix.

Technical specifications:

1. GE P32AC-DM (GE 7FDL-12; 3300 GHP; no HEP)
a. Starting tractive effort of 62,000 lbs (275.8 kN) up to 14 mph
b. Continuous TE of 45,051.7 lbs (200.4 kN) @ 25 mph
c. Dynamic Brake effort of 34,500 lbs (153.423 kN) @ 35 mph to 5 mph; linear fade from max brake effort @ 5 mph to 0 lbs @ 2 mph; resistor grid rating of 3,216 hp (2,400 kW)
d. Wheel horsepower of 3,000 hp (2,239 kW) @ 25 mph; assuming 0 kW HEP load
e. Weight of 124.5 metric tons (274,472.7 lbs)
f. Max traction amps = 620 (62,000 lbs)
g. Max braking amps = 345 (34,500 lbs)
h. Engine RPM range = 315 - 900
i. RPM change rate (rpm/second) = 25
j. Fuel consumption range (gph)= 29 - 160
k. Maximum speed of 110 mph


IMPORTANT; Install Instructions

1. Locate P32Pack01 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\RSC\P32Pack01)
2. Open Railworks_Metro-North_P32AC-DM_and_Shoreliner_Cab_Car_Comprehensive_Mod_Pack.rar
3. Drag the file folders from the .rar in step 2 into the directory you opened in step 1.
4. The installation should be complete. Run TS2016 to check.
5. If installation is botched or does not work, to back up to original files, delete the folder from step 3. Then proceed to contact me and let me know so I can fix the issue.

Thank you for downloading and installing.
Enjoy =)

This is all that I can say about the wait: Image

I am very glad that all the sounds mods are being included as well. However, why do the P32 Shoreliners have new door sounds, but the FL9 Shoreliners have the default door sounds? It would be welcoming to also implement the proper RPM levels in a future update (600-1050RPM)

I am unsure about the P32 (HEP) and HSP46 (HEP and no HEP) physics sets and fixed 8 notched throttle as I see no reference of them in the manual.
