Dodgy physics

UK locomotives cut the power over a certain brakepipe pressure, I assume that's why it's that way.

Hi Kali, Do you know if this is hard coded within Rail Works or a variable within each locomotive bin file or simulation bin file?

I should make clear that it cutstraction power, not RPM! but I've not seen anything in the blueprints, so I think it's a hardcoded limit.

I wonder what the triggers are exactly for the no power/cut traction issue. I feel like I have shoved on cars with a first-service minimum reduction several times and there is definitely still power to the rail. Maybe it triggers when the train stops, or when the throttle is returned to zero. I do know that shoving or pulling with an auto-brake set does reduce your "good driving" score. :) Sure wish we had a bail-off function....

It's above a certain train pipe pressure. I don't remember what it is ( I don't think it's right for UK stock anyway ).
