Power and notch does not match?

[Nozomi329]

Hello,

I'm trying to do some minor modification to <kuid2:461543:100092:3> to reduce the notches (27 originally) in this asset to match my own train (which has 10). However when I test drive it, I found that when I apply notch 10, the actual output power is notch 8. If I try to increase the notch in that asset to 14, the 10 notch power output can be reached.

Has anyone had similar issues? Is there anyone that could point me a direction of what could have caused this?
I'm using Trainz 2019 111952.

Thanks in advanced.

hi nozomi, go to the config.txt of the cab and find this
leave the limits but edit the notches and notch height
//Original
throttle_lever
{
mesh "v1lev.im"
auto-create 1
kind "lever"
att "a.traction"
limits 0,27
notches 0,0.045,0.091,0.136,0.182,0.227,0.273,0.318,0.364,0.409,0.455,0.5,0.545,0.591,0.636,0.682,0.727,0.773,0.818,0.864,0.909,0.955,1
notchheight 1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,1
radius 0.2
att-parent "default"
angles 0.6,-0.6
}
// only 10/11 steps
throttle_lever
{
mesh "v1lev.im"
auto-create 1
kind "lever"
att "a.traction"
limits 0,27
notches 0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1
notchheight 1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,1
radius 0.2
att-parent "default"
angles 0.6,-0.6
}


also depends on the engine file, first try with the original engine
hope this helps, greetings GM

edit another thing to try is put limits 0,32

Thanks! This did partly solve my problem, but it seems to work only when I drag the lever in the cab. Keyboard control doesn't seem to work.
