"Pressure" container

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.

Supported Tags

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

scale

Type: Decimal

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

compressor

Type: Decimal

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

mainreservoir

Type: Decimal

Desc: Main reservoir maximum pressure.

highspeedexhauster

Type: Decimal

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

brakepipe

Type: Decimal

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

brakeinitial

Type: Decimal

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

brakefull

Type: Decimal

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

indbrakefull

Type: Decimal

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

trainbrakepipe_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: Brake pipe pressure when vehicle is first placed.

epreservoirpipe_start

Type: Decimal

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

no3pipe_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: Generally leave these settings.

no4pipe_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: Generally leave these settings.

auxreservoir_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: Auxiliary reservoir pressure when vehicle is first placed.

autobrakecylinder_start

Type: Decimal

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

vacuumbrakepipe_start

Type: Decimal

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

vacuumbrakereservoir_start

Type: Decimal

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

vacuumbrakecylinder_start

Type: Decimal

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

mainreservoir_start

Type: Decimal

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

equaliser_start

Type: Decimal

Desc: Equalising Reservoir pressure when vehicle is first placed.

independantbrakecylinder_start

Type: Decimal

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