Improvements to steam code
Following testing of steam locomotives against BR and American locomotive Test reports, a number of areas of inconsistent operations have been identified.
See - http://
This blueprint aims to:
i) adjust code to minimise inconsistencies identified
ii) add some extra ORTS ENG file parameters for tweaking locomotive performance, eg ORTSMaxSuperhea
iii) Investigate the feasibility of adding an additional compound type locomotive model. Implement as appropriate
