I'm going to be referring to the SD40-2 here, but all the diesel electric locomotives do this, just at different speeds. Worst of all, the throttle and power curves were things that were (mostly) correctly modeled in TS1.but TSW somehow did it worse than TS1 did.Īnyway: the problem itself. Of all TSW's current, and extremely long standing bugs (this was reported over a year ago, and has been fixed in new content already!).the one I understand the reason behind the least is what I'm calling 'the throttle problem' but could be the 'cruise control effect' as comes up plenty as well it's just a messed up setup with the power curves of the motors and throttle. TL DR: The way most electric motors are handled in TSW leads to an effect somewhat like the throttle has a built in cruise control which does not happen in real life, which is making driving diesel electric trains more annoying than it really should be.

Updated with release of Rapid Transit-bit of a rewrite to include new details I've learned over time.

WE DID IT PEOPLE, WSR ACTUALLY HAS DECENT DIESEL ELECTRIC PHYSICS.
