Was the real F40-C infamous for poor braking or something? For all other METRA locomotives I've downloaded, I place a trackmark at the end of the platform (I've always had mixed results with industry-enabled stations).
Then, I'd give the train the following messages:
Drive to: (trackmark name)
Wait for: 10 seconds
Open doors: Right
Wait for: 20 seconds
Close doors: Right
Wait for: 10 seconds
But for some reason, only the F40-C won't stop. It just idles through the station, opening the doors while the train is still moving, closing the doors while the train is still moving, then continuing on as if nothing happened.
Seriously, if the real F40-C had THIS poor braking, it's no wonder why it's so rare, because it would suck at passenger service. I've seen real trains (in New Jersey at least) approach a station at 80 mph and still make it to 0 by the end of the platform.
I've tried replacing the engine spec with an SD40-2 Engine Spec, but stopping is still a foreign concept to this locomotive. How can I make this locomotive stop faster?
