[JT] BR 7MT Advanced - erhältlich! - Rail-Sim.de

ADVANCED FEATURES

We have tried to replicate as far as possible the typical operations of a real steam locomotive, with these Advanced features giving you a genuine feeling of what the real 7MT locomotives are like.

70000 Britannia and 70013 Oliver Cromwell with preserved details such as OTMR (On Train Monitoring Recorder) (non-operational in the sim), cab lighting and electronics, TOPS numbers, Train Stop Override, modern warning flashes and dual brake equipment (70000 Britannia only)
Realistic steam chest behaviour
Simulated Malesco superheater header multiple valve, including a pilot valve and three main valves
Regulator dynamics – tap the regulator handle in small increments, or quickly slam it open or shut
Operating snifting/anti-vacuum valves that protect the cylinders from damage when there is no passage of steam through the cylinders
Realistic reverser behaviour – lock the reverser in place when the driver is not moving to prevent it creeping into forward gear
Realistic brake simulation, with vacuum brakes that take longer to apply or release depending on the length of the train, simulated diffusion of air into and out of the train pipe, and locomotive and tender steam brake that can be applied by controlling the vacuum brakes and vacuum reservoir or by directly using the graduated steam brake handle
ActivScript Automatic Warning System (AWS)
ActivScript wheel animation, wheelslip and wheelskid, where the script takes the responsibility of simulating and correctly rendering the wheel animation
Chuff sounds and exhaust effects are always synchronised with the wheels, even during wheelslip and wheelskid
Weather and seasons have a direct effect on adhesion
Realistic water levels and gauges
Priming simulation
Regulator jamming
Permanent damage and solvable performance supressions, including superheater cracking, wear induced by lack of lubrication, build-up of ash in the smokebox, cylinder explosion due to too much water in the cylinders and loss of connecting rods when wheelslip goes out of control
Directional sanders, with a limited supply of sand in the sandboxes
Realistic dampers and fire temperature control
Intelligent and advanced firing, with ‚lumps‘ of coal thrown into the fire instead of a steady stream
Photorealistic fire textures and flickering fire glow effects.
Davies & Metcalfe exhaust injector – use exhaust steam from the cylinders, or automatically switch over to live steam from the boiler when the steam chest pressure is very low
Tender controls – click on the Bardic lamp for some light in the cab, turn the handbrake and open the coal doors to view the coal
Working tender water gauge
Warm mode and Hot mode – prepare your loco in Warm mode by opening the smokebox door to clear out the ash, prime the lubricators, fill the sandboxes and conduct the boiler blowdown to blow out the impurities in the water. Alternatively, start off in Hot mode, where all of these tasks have been completed. and you’re ready to go.
Locomotive disposal at the end of a hard shift. Clean out the smokebox, blow the boiler down, open the ashpan doors and empty the firebox with the rocking grate
Coach steam heat control – see the steam leak out of the carriage steam heat pressure relief valves and sometimes shoddy piping!
Intelligent communication between a growing number of Advanced locomotives – couple one or more BR 7MTs together, or double-head with a Just Trains 5MT, 4MT, Clan or Manor, for synchronised cylinder drain cocks control, regulator and to communicate with a little whistle toot!
Advanced photorealistic smoke and steam effects
Highly realistic and detailed external animations – regulator linkage, loco brake linkage, sandbox lids, smokebox door, cab side windows, cab sliding roof hatches, cylinder cock actuator valve and mechanical lubricators
Fully customisable headcodes
Visible raindrops on the windows of the exterior model
Headboards – a selection of headboards can be fitted to 70000 Britannia or 70013 Oliver Cromwell on the fly, or pre-set at the start of a scenario, including The Hook Continental, Cumbrian Mountain Express and Torbay Express
Advanced AI – AI trains whistle on starting to move and open and close their cylinder drain cocks automatically. In bad weather, AI trains may even wheelslip and apply the sanders intelligently. For other loco’s in the player consist, such as in double-headers, other BR 7MTs have a more ‚human‘ personality in their response to the player driver and loco. They self-manage their cylinder cocks and reverser at standstill. They try to copy the player driver’s use of the regulator and reverser but only after they’re confident that the player needs them to provide assistance and isn’t just dabbing the regulator momentarily to maintain momentum, and only if they’re not wheel slipping themselves. When at a standstill, they will only get ready when you warn them with a short toot on the whistle, otherwise you will pull them away when they’re not prepared – they’ll soon let you know about that!

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Headcode – you can change the headcode to whatever you like, whenever you like
Bardic lamp – useful for when it gets a bit dark in the cab
Opening cab side windows and roof vents
Driving in a double-header – before you start to move off, you should inform the other driver that you’re ready to go by pressing [B] to do a short whistle toot. The other driver will put his loco into gear and, once he is ready, will toot back to you. Once he has tooted back, you can set off. If you fail to inform the other driver that you want to go, his loco will leave in mid-gear and he will get into a panic trying to get his loco ready whilst you’re pulling him away!
