Subject: [Bug 1141551] Re: Train brakes won't release fully

I have this problem also in many Italian locos. I don't know if it is a bug
of ORTS or if some parameters within the .eng file have an incorrect value.
In many locos I found such set of parameters
AirBrakesMainMaxAirPressure( 75 )
...
AirBrakesCompressorRestartPressure( 65 )
...
EngineBrakesControllerMaxSystemPressure( 75 )
...
                       TrainBrakesControllerMaxSystemPressure( 75 )

If I set AirBrakesCompressorRestartPressure (and consequently also
AirBrakesMainMaxAirPressure) to a value higher than the third and the
fourth parameter, I can release brakes.
You can try setting e.g. AirBrakesMainMaxAirPressure to 100 and
AirBrakesCompressorRestartPressure to 90.
I don't know if this is physically correct, but it works to me.

Title:
  Train brakes won't release fully

Status in Open Rails Tracker:
  New

Bug description:
  Route = Various
  Locomotives & Consists = Various.
  Example presented = E-7 "Little Joe" on RMD_East route (Lukas Lusser).
  Version OR = X1455

  I am providing a .PNG screen-shot of the anomaly, but in essence what
happens is that the train brakes do not fully release irrespective of how
many times the ; Key is pressed.
  This is not a regular, consistent anomaly; sometimes it happens and
sometimes it doesn't, which made me wonder if it was an actual realistic
effect that you have introduced.
