BR Class 70 LCD displays

Unread postby _o_OOOO_oo-Kanawha » Fri Mar 30, 2012 2:18 pm

Just got my BR Class 70 off Steam.
It is rather ugly but has an interesting novelty from RSC: a working LCD!

Brake pipe pressure,
Equalizing reservoir pressure,
Brake cylinder pressure,
flow
digital and analog speedo in MpH
tractive effort in kN (!)
prime mover rpm
compressor rpm
some loco monitor sliding scales and a few others of which I don't know wether they are dynamic.

The engine_script.lua has lots of calls to present ControlName parameters but the actual displays are probably hidden inside some shape file.

Works the same as the 67 digital speedo. Tons of InteriorVisibilityObjects.

Probably, or rathe,r obviously. Many small digits, dots and dashes.
But can the display's gauges be isolated, cut and transplanted into the ES44's cab?
The upper third seems exactly the same.
Here are some screen shots.

Such perfumary, again... but still unreadable gauges, again! *!sad!* Unless I'm seeing bad (my glasses are needing an update, I know), unfortunately It's out of my wish list...

Not directly - you'd have to build a new cab if you wanted them to work the same. I would imagine they *are* the same as the ES44 - it is a GE locomotive even if a lot of it is GE Europe and not really related to the US ones.
