Unmoveable GP15?

Unread postby BKRR605 » Sat Apr 09, 2016 4:31 pm

I recently dug out my GP15 and couldn't throttle her up. Everything else worked like lights,reverser and brakes. Any Help? !*don-know!*

Did you check your gen field, engine run and control/fuel pump switch on the control stand?

If you want, just use the one labeled with 'simp' to driver. It doesn't require any extra work like that to move

Also it comes with instructions.

Please see the GP15_cab.jpg picture for an annotation of the relevant controls.

< The ENGINE CONTROL, FUEL PUMP and GENERATOR FIELD switches have been simulated. >
< IT IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THESE ARE ALL IN THE UP POSITION IN ORDER TO APPLY POWER. >

Use of Keyboard
---------------

This locomotive uses custom key mapping. This will not affect the default key mapping of the
simulator, including any customisations you may have made. The key mapping differs from
the default by:
A reduce power >
D increase power > ie MSTS style.

Note the "default" control locomotive uses the default key mapping.
