Loco or Program problem

[theblackhat]

I have just updated to TRS19 Build 110491 and have a small problem.

I am using kuid2:73150:101413:2 NSWGR C30T black locomotive.

When the route is first run the loco shows a large white smoke plume and the sounds are loud.

After 10 minutes though the smoke and sounds return to what seems normal.

Could someone please check if this occurs on their system.
I am not sure if it is the loco script or a program fault.

Thanks

Sounds like it's the safety valves blowing off... Get it working hard to reduce the boiler pressure/ add more water, etc.

I could be flippant and say that after 10 minutes it simply "ran out of steam".

I just tested it myself and found no change in sound or smoke but the latter is difficult to judge against the backgrounds on my current project layout. I ran it for over 20 minutes.

For comparison I ran an SAR T class loco on the same layout at the same speaker sound levels and both seemed "normal" volumes.

But I have no real idea what a C30 should sound like but it was working very hard at the line speed of 50mph. It sounded better at lower speeds.

I am using TRS19 SP3 beta build 111951 and that may explain my results.

Sorry I should have explained it better.

pware: Was your smoke a large amount of white or just a small amount?
Also what it sounds like is not the problem, the sound volume changes.

PC_ACE: I forgot to mention that this is under AI control.

I have since tested it on a single loop around one baseboard.
Selected DRIVE and it went for 20 minutes without change.
Still large white smoke and loud sound.

More testing needed.

It seemed to be at the middle to lower end of that "large amount or small amount" scale.

Also what it sounds like is not the problem, the sound volume changes.

I can honestly say that I did not notice any change in the sound volume over 20 minutes.

The actual sound itself did seem to be very "laboured" when hauling nothing but that was in comparison to the SAR T class.
