TS2009 AI going at 1MPH

All my AI drivers in TS2009 are driving at 1 MPH.

I remember seeing thread(s) about this before in different versions, but now cannot find them

Any help please?

Thanks in advance,
 
It's the engine file that is buggy, all T3P engine files are bad as they fix a bug that was in TRS4 and has been fixed.
 
Find the Engine Spec config file and increase the max accel and max decel parameters to 20,000+. Experiment with different values until you get the acceleration you're looking for.
 
Captain. Are you using DCC or Cab or AI to drive? Which engines are you using? Is it every train of just some? Every route or just some? Could you please send a bug report in through the Beta Tester Center and we'll take a look.
Thanks

The fault affects all AI trains, I can drive them normally using DCC or Cab.
It affects all engines, every AI train. Every route. I have already submitted a bug report.
 
Hi Captain. Please provide a step by step set of instructions regarding what you are attempting to do. Route name, locos, consists, buttons/keys pressed etc. There is a known issue with some engine specs which have max accel in the range of 1000-5000 that, when trying to pull a heavy consist, will not get up to speed.

But you say that DCC works fine when generally AI is using DCC to control trains. Perhaps there are signalling issues or something else. Create a .cdp of the route and submit it via BTC if you like as well
Thanks

I agree the Trouble all stems from the contents in the DLS and untill all the assets are up dated the problem will allways be there :n: it's time for a new DLS that segirgates the old from the new, from TRS1 to TRSX, that way people can see which assets require updating take the (simvation) site for example.

is it of ANY USE to change the well known and working settings in the engine spec ?? Fixing something, that is already working, just to let it work in a different way and make thousand of objects faulty is not really clever in my eyes... .

Every engine file has to be redone to make stuff conforming with TRS 2009.

I must confess, I'm not really willing to do this even with our payware stuff... . We would have to sell diffenrent versions (so far all differences between TRS2004 and 2006 could have been solved with some scripting work). I'm not sure, if I will be willing to be hunting moving targets again and again and we may just stick if a label "not compatible with trs2009".

The MaxAccel value for the affected trains is 1500 so this is within the range you specify above.

Seeing as you are already aware of this bug I will wait for it to be fixed in the gold version.

Thanks for the help Tony,
 
Interesting enough I didn't have this problem on my personal route, but I signal my route heavily. So I wonder if it's more of a signaling issue than anything else. If anyone wants, I'll upload a screen capture to show my method.

I use the Searchlight signals through out from NorfolkSouthern, which are third party content in case anyone wonders.

Hi all,:wave:
I have now managed to track this issue down to the Ai Brake, <kuid:58422:100218>. I have tried to issue a bug report, but I receive a message saying that "the beta tester server is either down or the parameters are incorrect" every time I try and post the report.
 
I'm running the Clovis sub route which uses Sp-or-bust engines and the AI fix on every consist. I changed the max speed to 70 in all of the engine specs., there are 14 of them if I remember correctly, and they all run just fine now.
It is still a bug that Auran needs to address but this is a work around that works in the mean time.

Hello,
I also trace this to the AI Brake. I had a session working well on 2004, imported it into 2009, and all AI trains were 2mph. I went to all consists and removed all AI Brakes, and the AI trains now run at correct speed. I do seem to have derailments when AI trains are coupling, though.

If I edit the engine spec, do I have to clone the asset first? I'd rather not have doubles of all my locomotives.

Is there a fix we can apply to the AI brake "engine" itself?

Thanks,
Kevin
 
I did some investigation on my previous questions: I found the enginespec file for AI Brake - it is an asset called ai fix. I increased the maximum speed, and the trains went even slower. So I decreased the max speed by a factor of 10, and now the trains move at speed limits up to 50 mph. I have not worked with them enough to see how coupling operations work. They do stop on trackmarks given in the "navigate to trackmark" commands. A couple of "run around train" commands went without incident.
Making changes in the file did not require cloning the asset.
I hope this is useful to anyone working on this problem.
