Lately I've been having a little trouble with the automatic fireman (apologies to him but his name escapes me) causing the firebox to be extinguished and causing a game over error when the locomotive isn't being worked very hard.

I'll do some tests to see if I can reproduce that.

Is it the HUD or Advanced version, or both?

I haven't run the HUD version much, but I get it in advanced mode.

If I find a potential solution, I'll send it to you to try out for me.

The thickness of the idle smoke in my opinion looks amazing for a regular running thickness, thicker for heavier grades, even thinner for sitting idle on spot fire.

Just thoughts, I'm sure it's more complicated than that.


The final update has been released on Steam today: http://train-simulator.com/union-pacific-fef-3-update/

This addresses the issue of the stack smoke. You can use Shift-4 and Ctrl-4 to change the base density between "Dense", "Normal", "Light" and "Sparse", where "Dense" is the thick smoke introduced in the previous update and the others make it progressively thinner. The default is "Normal". This allows each player to set up the smoke according to their own preference.

Thanks for the FEF update and tweak. (and the mystery !!det!! )

Bob updated the file library on the 25th. Your update was uploaded on the 26th and the file note says 27th *!lol!*

I hope Alpen can get his SH vintage signalling sorted out - she needs to stretch her legs with 15-20 cars on Sherman !!*ok*!!

Thanks for revisiting...

**!!bow!!**

Okay So I ran into a serious bug. When I run a double header of the FEF-3s in AI mode the rear engine is being dragged across the rails. This is very serious if I want to do AI for shots in the Full Bucketneirs reboot.
