Only critique is that it shouldn't smoke all that much at idle unless it's been cold started. ALCo's idle pretty clean actually, and they don't smoke thick continuously, only when they are being revved to a notch, or the load increases.

Andreas, any chance of a short-hood forward or cut-nose version in the future?

Hmmm, I won´t say "No" *!!wink!!*

But this has to be discussed, I cannot decide this alone.

That is a better answer than "no"! Thank you for your consideration.

I always got a love for BN. If I get to MNNR, I can come up with some audio for them too.

This is the best 10 euros I ever spent on RW DLC (the tax was removed because I'm not in Europe).
Driving this engine was enjoyable. Sounds, physics, braking, smoke, everything is working great. It just FEELS right.
I'm still coughing from all the smoke.
I loved the small details, such as the pressure and temperature gauges, and the working warning lights. I was actually worried about my engine temp after runnning in notch 8 too long.
This raises the bar for future engines.
I found a very minor bug: when you stop the engine the oil pressure and fuel pressure gauges drop to zero and they stay stuck at zero even after restarting the engine.
