Hello,

If you use a traction/braking dial in the cabview, the dial works only positive:

    Dial (
        Type ( TRACTION_BRAKING DIAL )
        Position ( 233 329 12 26 )
        Graphic ( AM96V3-kN.ace )
        Style ( NEEDLE )
        ScaleRange ( -120 120 )
        ScalePos ( 235 125 )
        Units ( KILO_NEWTONS )
        Pivot ( 20 )
        DirIncrease ( 0 )
    )

This bug is from MSTS himself, it will be great if this can be solved in OR please

For simulate this needle now, i must use a accelerometer, this is the onley DIAL that work negative too:

    Dial (
        Type ( ACCELEROMETER DIAL )
        Position ( 233 329 12 26 )
        Graphic ( AM96V3-kN.ace )
        Style ( NEEDLE )
        ScaleRange ( -1.5 1.5 )
        ScalePos ( 235 125 )
        Units ( METRES/SEC/SEC )
        Pivot ( 20 )
        DirIncrease ( 0 )
    )

In attachment a picture of the KiloNewtons meter.

Yellow is wat MSTS & OR do now, Red is what not is functional on this DIAL, & my question to make this area work too

In advance thanks,

Stijn

P.S. In some trains you have this meter to, bud in "Ampére", can this add too please?

I wonder if this is a bug. Maybe there are locomotives where the dial goes positive both in traction and in braking. I would prefer if you open a thread in the "Maybe it's a bug" subforum so that we see if there are objections in changing things like you ask.

I have do this few weeks ago (Elvas Tower forum), it is been read, but no answered...

Bug (of MSTS) or not, i hope that OR team can made solution that we can use both in a cabview.

In the pase i have report this to on the makers of MSTS Bin, bud project was stopped. That

person that MSTS Bin have made, have create some new needles... For meters that work in both

direction is made a new a solution, many German (Siemens, Bombardier), Belgian, France

locomotives need this, and other country's too in normal case.

If there more images... need from real locs, let me know in the topic on Elvas Tower

I want onley make with my idea's OR better ;-)
