[edit] Pressure Container

The Pressure container is a config.txt file top-level entry used by KIND Engine (see Engine-specs) and KIND Steam-engine assets. It's used to provide values for the braking systems used on trains.

[edit] Supported Tags

The Pressure container supports the following tags. Each tag is show here with its default value.

[edit] scale

Type: Decimal

Desc: Sets the scale for the given pressure values. This allows an engine asset to provide pressure values in PSI or kPa, and then rescale them to the expected units (grams/m³).

[edit] compressor

Type: Decimal

Desc: Compressor maximum pressure. (The default value equates to 120psi.)

[edit] mainreservoir

Type: Decimal

Desc: Main reservoir maximum pressure.

[edit] highspeedexhauster

Type: Decimal

Desc: For vacuum braking - not currently in use, generally leave this setting.

[edit] brakepipe

Type: Decimal

Desc: Brake pipe pressure when fully charged. (The default value equates to 80psi.)

[edit] brakeinitial

Type: Decimal

Desc: Brake pipe pressure after initial service reduction (for self lapping brakes). (The default value equates to 72psi.)

[edit] brakefull

Type: Decimal

Desc: Brake pipe pressure after full service reduction (for self lapping brakes). (The default value equates to 57psi.)

[edit] indbrakefull

Type: Decimal

Desc: Brake cylinder maximum pressure for independent/locomotive brake.

[edit] trainbrakepipe_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: Brake pipe pressure when vehicle is first placed.

[edit] epreservoirpipe_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: For electro pneumatic braking - not currently in use, generally leave this setting.

[edit] no3pipe_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: Generally leave these settings.

[edit] no4pipe_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: Generally leave these settings.

[edit] auxreservoir_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: Auxiliary reservoir pressure when vehicle is first placed.

[edit] autobrakecylinder_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: Train brake cylinder pressure when vehicle is first placed.

[edit] vacuumbrakepipe_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: For vacuum braking - not currently in use, generally leave this setting.

[edit] vacuumbrakereservoir_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: For vacuum braking - not currently in use, generally leave this setting.

[edit] vacuumbrakecylinder_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: For vacuum braking - not currently in use, generally leave this setting.

[edit] mainreservoir_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: Main Reservoir pressure on loading the game. (The default value equates to 100psi.)

[edit] equaliser_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: Equalising Reservoir pressure when vehicle is first placed.

[edit] independantbrakecylinder_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: Locomotive brake cylinder pressure when vehicle is first placed.
