Child Classes

The engine child data structures are termed containers in Trainz and each defines the parameters and variables the simulator software needs to produce a dynamic working 3D asset.

  1. throttle-power container
  2. dynamic-brake container
  3. pressure container
  4. mass container
  5. motor container
  6. flowsize container
  7. volume container

throttle-power

Type: throttle-power Container
Desc: Acceleration variables in cabin mode.

dynamic-brake

Type: dynamic-brake Container
Desc: Deceleration variables while dynamic braking in cabin mode.

pressure

Type: pressure Container
Desc: TBD

mass

Type: mass Container
Desc: TBD

motor

Type: motor Container
Desc: TBD

flowsize

Type: flowsize Container
Desc: TBD

volume

Type: volume Container
Desc: TBD

scale

Type: Obsolete
Desc: Obsolete

epbrakes

Type: Obsolete single value
Desc: Obsoleted in release of TS2009

autopilot-stop-distance

Type: float
Desc: How far (in meters) in front of a typical obstruction (red light, etc.) the AI will attempt to stop the train. Changing this value can help fine-tune the accuracy of the AI's movement, however attempting to make the train stop too close to a target may result in overruns in some cases. This tag is intended for special-case usage only.

autopilot-crawl-distance

Type: float
Desc: Once this distance (in meters) from the intended stopping position has been reached, the AI will 'crawl' rather than attempt to speed up to reach its destination. Changing this value can help fine-tune the accuracy of the AI's movement, however attempting to make the train stop too close to a target may result in overruns in some cases. This tag is intended for special-case usage only.

autopilot-caution-speed-multiplier

Type: float
Desc: The AI will slow to this multiple of the speed limit when operating under caution conditions. This can be set to 1.0 in order to effectively remove caution-speed driving, however this can increase the risk of overruns in some cases

throttle-adjustment-rate

Type: float
Desc: Defines the adjustment rate at which the engine's throttle will adjust to match the train's throttle. Increasing this rate will make the engine more responsive at the possible cost of audio or driving realism. In DCC mode, a minimum value of 0.1 is used.
