BR Standard Class 5MT Advanced for TS2016

ADVANCED FEATURES
 
We have worked to replicate as far as possible the typical operations of a real steam locomotive. Fully replicating a realistic steam locomotive in Train Simulator is simply not possible, but we have added features which bring that dream closer to reality and give you a genuine feeling of what the real locomotive is like.
 
Unfortunately one of Train Simulator’s limitations is that you cannot start with a steam loco cold, i.e. without its fire lit, but with the 5MT Advanced you have the opportunity to join the loco at the ‘warm’ stage where it is nearly ready to drive but still requires several operations to be carried out to ensure that it runs efficiently, namely filling the sandboxes, cleaning out the dust and dirt from the smokebox, priming the oil system via the oil distributor pump, and blowing down the boiler to help remove impurities. These may not be a fully accurate set of operations with the engine warm, but they are the most authentic currently available to us.

• ActivHints – a new training system that can be toggled on and off at any time, with useful hints and tips for operating the loco and notification of urgent matters which require your attention
• ActivFireman – a brand-new custom AI fireman built specifically for Just Trains’ Advanced steam locomotives. When activated, he’ll take over the firing responsibilities so that you can just enjoy the drive.
• Simulated slide-type regulator
• Operating snifter/anti-vacuum valves
• Realistic reverser behaviour- lock the reverser in place when the loco is stationary!
• Realistic vacuum and steam brake simulation
• Scripted Automatic Warning System (AWS)
• Scripted wheel animation, wheelslip and wheelskid
• Chuff sounds, exhaust effects, and advanced photorealistic smoke and steam effects
• Weather and seasons have a direct effect on adhesion
• Realistic water levels and gauges
• Regulator jamming
• Permanent damage and solvable performance suppressions
• Directional sanders
• Fully modelled 3D firebox interior
• Glowing embers
• Realistic dampers and fire temperature control
• Intelligent and Advanced firing
• Davies & Metcalfe exhaust injector
• Working tender water gauge
• Warm and Hot modes – prepare your loco in Warm mode by opening the smokebox door to clear out the ash, prime the lubricators, fill the sandboxes and conduct the boiler blowdown to blow out impurities in the water. Alternatively, start off in Hot mode, in which all of these tasks have been completed and you’re ready to go.
• Choice of Advanced or Simple driving mode– use the simple Switcher utility to swap between them
• Steam heat control and carriage steam heating
• Intelligent communication – intelligent communication is provided between a growing number of Just Trains locomotives – couple one or more 5MTs together, or double-head with a Just Trains 4MT, Clan, Britannia or Manor, for synchronised control of cylinder drain cocks and regulator, and to communicate with a little toot on the whistle!
• Realistic and detailed external animations
• Fully customisable headcodes – preselect the desired headcode for both the player and the AI locomotives in the Scenario Editor
• Visible raindrops
• Advanced AI
• Tender controls
• Operating Bardic lamp
• Double-header locomotive interaction

• Directional sanders – remember to fill the sandboxes!
• Operating fore and aft rocking firebox grates
• Shed plates – individual shed plate codes can be selected
• Realistic steam chest behaviour
• Cylinder drain cocks
• Priming simulation
• Realistic injector performance and steam usage
• Water gauges
• Realistic damper behaviour
• Head and tail lights – customisable for all conditions
