OK, so I bought this in the sale and I love it - Ever since I was a small boy I loved the Centennials. However, I can't seem to work out how to use the dynamic brakes with my mouse... Any help, guys?

Lovely model by the way, Cesar! !!*ok*!!

The DD40X is next on my hitlist. Have you had a chance to crawl around a real one? They're fantastic.

The remade DTM model is pretty good. I got it yesterday and am looking forward to running it on the upcoming Sherman Hill line.

You will all want to go into the Simulation file and get rid of the FieldDivert section. What it does is limit the amount of amperage based on vehicle speed. In real life it might work great, but here the thing can hardly pull at all. Give those trucks full amperage I say. *!twisted!*

I don't know about that, I'm not having any difficulty pulling heavy loads - just finding the control for the dynamic brakes!

Has anyone else got this DLC and can help? Thanks! !*salute*!

Can you be more specific about "getting rid of the FieldDivert section?" Or, better yet, would you post an edited simulation file? I don't think that would violate any copyright issues.

Sure thing,
Here is the modified bin. I'm assuming you know where it goes. Let me know if you notice a difference.

@ Harryadkins; Also, copy the Tractive Effort vs.Throttle file from the SD70. Together these two make quite a difference.
