Defining Multiple Brake Systems
2682
+
-------------------------------
2683
+
2684
+
It is possible to define multiple systems within ``OrtsBrakeMode`` sections::
2685
+
2686
+
ORTSBrakeMode (
2687
+
ORTSBrakeModeName ( AG )
2688
+
BrakeSystemType( Air_single_pipe )

2694
+
Comment ( All brake parameters are available in such a section )
2695
+
)
2696
+
2697
+
These sections can be used to either define dual vacuum/air rolling stock, or
2698
+
can be used to define the brake modes of the UIC stock in the following form::
2699
+
2700
+
BrakeSystemType( Air_twin_pipe )
2701
+
ORTSBrakeMode (
2702

2712
+
2713
+
Available brake mode names to be used are: GG, G, PP, P, RR, R, R_MG, AG, AP, AU, VB, VP, VU.
2714
+
With the ``ORTSBrakeModeNames`` keyword the used brake modes can be filtered,
2715
+
for being able to define them in an include file, and using only the needed
2716
+
ones. It can be used e.g. in the following form::
2717

Load Compensation

Load compensation stages can be defined in the following way::

OrtsLoadStage (

Comment ( All brake parameters are available in such a section )

3159

3160

The ``OrtsLoadStageMinMass`` parameter defines the minimum car mass (together
3161
+
with the load) where the stage can be activated without risking the brake lock.
3162
+
For the lowest stage this keyword should be omitted. In OpenRails the switching
3163

between stages is automatic.
