This is the update to both the HHP-8 and Acela physics mods for TS2016 (12/1/15). Main change is that the Signature JohnS brake fix has been applied to both trains / locomotives. Players may now select any position between minimum reduction and suppression on the auto brake handle among other minor changes. For more information, be sure to read the readme text files that are provided with each mod. Enjoy =)

This is the RailWorks Austria Railjet Advanced (Siemens ES64U2 Taurus 1116) Physics Mod V1.0 for TS2016
In order to utilize this freeware physics upgrade, you must have purchased the "RWA Railjet Advanced" pack available at Just Trains: http://www.justtrains.net/product/rwa-railjet-advanced" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
This is a freeware pack; in no way is it to be used for commercial purposes. You are free, however to further modify the physics enhancements found in this pack for personal use if you so choose.
This is NOT a sound mod pack.
The purpose of this pack is to adjust the acceleration and braking physics, and screw coupler stretch range.
Specific changes:
1. Limited power to 7000 kW maximum.
2. Adjusted dynamic brake effort to realistic values
3. Unpowered passenger car and cab car bogies. Only the locomotive provides tractive effort now.
4. Reduced friction brake rate to a realistic level. VB brake rate should now be around 3.62 km/h/s.
5. Adjusted coupler.bin values; locomotive will no longer detach from the passenger car while under heavy acceleration.
IMPORTANT; Install Instructions
1. Locate Austria_RailVehicles (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\RWAustria_2\Austria_RailVehicles)
2. Open RailWorks_Austria_RailJet_Advanced_Physics_Mod_Pack.7z
3. Highlight all folders (there should be three) and right-click to bring up the drop-down menu.
4. Open properties window and make sure the "read-only" box is unchecked; if checked, uncheck it and click apply.
3. Drag the two file folders from the .rar in step 2 into the directory you opened in step 1; overwrite when prompted.
4. The installation should be complete. Run TS2016 to check.
5. If installation is botched or does not work, to back up to original files, simply re-install the DLC by running the installer.
Thank you for downloading and installing.
Enjoy =)

4. The installation should be complete. Run TS2016 to check.
5. If installation is botched or does not work, to back up to original files, delete the folders from step 3.
User's Manual:
Upon installation, the pack defaults to using the HEP physics and sounds. In order to switch physics/sounds, follow the steps below:
1. Open the following directories:
a. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\DTG\Dash8_32BWHPack01\RailVehicles\Simulation"
b. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\DTG\Dash8_32BWHPack01\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\Dash8_32BWH\Engine"
2. In each of those directories, you will see two folders (one for each set of locomotive physics/sounds):
a. "HEP"
b. "No HEP"
3. Once you choose which set of physics/sounds to use, open the respective type folder in both directories from step 1.
4. Copy (CTRL + C) all files you find in the opened folder located in directory 1a.
5. Proceed back to directory 1a and paste (CTRL + V) the copied files into the directory; overwrite (replace) when prompted.
6. Copy (CTRL + C) all files you find in the opened folder located in directory 1b.
7. Proceed back to directory 1b and paste (CTRL + V) the copied files into the directory; overwrite (replace) when prompted.
8. If the previous 7 steps were completed properly, the physics swap should be successful; run TS2016 to check.
For adventurous players/developers, there are actually two sets of no-HEP notch 8 engine sounds included. If you can figure out how to swap between those two subsets, then have fun and decide for yourself which sounds better.
Thank you for downloading and installing.

In order to utilize this freeware sound & physics upgrade, you must have purchased the "Metro-North P32 AC-DM 'Genesis' Loco Add-On" pack available at Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/258655/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
This is a freeware pack; in no way is it to be used for commercial purposes. You are free, however to use the sound & physics enhancements found in this pack for personal use if you so choose.
THIS IS BOTH A SOUND AND PHYSICS UPGRADE PACK.
The main purpose of this pack is to make use of the proper horn and bell sound files that were somehow overlooked by DTG in the beta test process, introduce authentic Leslie RS2M horn sounds (exterior and cab versions) and authentic bell sounds (exterior and cab versions). This pack also replaces the door sounds and adds brake release sounds.
From a physics perspective, this pack introduces new weight and tractive effort values to give a more realistic operating feel.
Included is the signature JohnS brake fix. Additionally, the number of throttle notches on the Shoreliner Cab Car have been fixed.
Finally, this pack gives the user the ability to switch between GE P32AC-DM physics and MPI HSP46 physics. Follow the instructions provided below to switch between.
V2.0 update includes new GE 7FDL-12 prime mover sounds and sound coding courtesy of Matt Gorres and Gregory Grice. Also includes minor coach car sound updates from Matt.

IMPORTANT; Install Instructions
1. Locate P32Pack01 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\RSC\P32Pack01)
2. Open Railworks_Metro-North_P32AC-DM_and_Shoreliner_Cab_Car_Comprehensive_Mod_Pack.rar
3. Drag the file folders from the .rar in step 2 into the directory you opened in step 1.
4. The installation should be complete. Run TS2016 to check.
5. If installation is botched or does not work, to back up to original files, delete the folder from step 3. Then proceed to contact me and let me know so I can fix the issue.
User Manual:
Upon installation, the pack defaults to using the GE P32AC-DM (3300 GHP) physics. In order to switch physics, follow the steps below:
1. Open the following directories:
a. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\RSC\P32Pack01\RailVehicles\Diesel\P32DC\Simulation"
b. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\RSC\P32Pack01\RailVehicles\Diesel\P32DC\Engine"
2. In each of those directories, you will see three folders (one for each set of locomotive physics):
a. "P32AC-DM (3300 GHP)"
b. "HSP46 (4700 GHP)"
3. Once you choose which set of physics to use, open the respective physics folder in all three directories from step 1.
4. Copy (CTRL + C) all files you find in the opened folder located in directory 1a.
5. Proceed back to directory 1a and paste (CTRL + V) the copied files into the directory; overwrite when prompted.
6. Copy (CTRL + C) all files you find in the opened folder located in directory 1b.
7. Proceed back to directory 1b and paste (CTRL + V) the copied files into the directory; overwrite when prompted.
8. If the previous 7 steps were completed properly, the physics swap should be successful; run TS2016 to check.

This is the Metro-North P32AC-DM & Shoreliner Cab Car Comprehensive Mod Pack V2.0 for TS2016 (7/27/16)
In order to utilize this freeware sound & physics upgrade, you must have purchased the "Metro-North P32 AC-DM 'Genesis' Loco Add-On" pack available at Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/258655/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
This is a freeware pack; in no way is it to be used for commercial purposes. You are free, however to use the sound & physics enhancements found in this pack for personal use if you so choose.
THIS IS BOTH A SOUND AND PHYSICS UPGRADE PACK.
The main purpose of this pack is to make use of the proper horn and bell sound files that were somehow overlooked by DTG in the beta test process, introduce authentic Leslie RS2M horn sounds (exterior and cab versions) and authentic bell sounds (exterior and cab versions). This pack also replaces the door sounds and adds brake release sounds.
From a physics perspective, this pack introduces new weight and tractive effort values to give a more realistic operating feel.
Included is the signature JohnS brake fix. Additionally, the number of throttle notches on the Shoreliner Cab Car have been fixed.
Finally, this pack gives the user the ability to switch between GE P32AC-DM physics and MPI HSP46 physics. Follow the instructions provided below to switch between.
V2.0 update includes new GE 7FDL-12 prime mover sounds and sound coding courtesy of Matt Gorres and Gregory Grice. Also includes minor coach car sound updates from Matt.
