Band-Aid: EMD F-7 Mod
Band-Aid: EMD F-7 Mod
In the waiting of an official fix by the authors, here’s a non-invasive patch that fixes the effort and emission typos on Col0Korn’s, NoAchievement4U’s, Donoteat’s and Meatballhero’s beautiful F-7 locomotives.
It also adjust power, weight, speed values so they looks good in US units, with a twist : the horsepower unit shown ingame is the metric horsepower, not the mechanical (imperial) horsepower. Therefore 1500 mechanical HP is converted to 1521 metric HP.
Based on feedbacks, I could adjust it back to display 1500 HP, losing a few HP in the process.
Works exclusively on:
