Are steam physics broken?

[halbert5150]

Haven't played this game in a while and Im trying to drive the C&O 2-8-4. This thing just doesn't seem to pull anything close to realistic tonnage. Was there an update that broke the physics for steam engines?

What is "realistic tonnage"?

I'm not aware of anything breaking physics, but I've always felt the steamers seemed off in real driver mode. I just don't talk about it because I have zero real world experience to back that up, its just a "feeling".

I actually figured my problem out. I had multiple cars in the consist that had a broken script (or something broken) when I found and removed them I was able to start / stop the train as well as can be expected. SO yes my physics were broken for some reason, but it was due to a faulty script.

That'd do it. Some cars are very complicated.

Still, what kind of tonnage and grade?

We cannot expect from a simulator to be real, we expect from a simulator to be as close is possible to reality, now if we can find patterns to increase the realism it is very welcome.
