Train Simulator: Union Pacific Challenger Loco Add-On Activation Code [pack] http://fancli.com/190e8t
About This Content The mighty Union Pacific Challenger 4-6-6-4 is now available for Train Simulator, featuring four exciting and challenging scenarios specially created for the Sherman Hill route.The stiff gradients of the Wasatch Mountains demanded newer, more powerful and efficient locomotives, leading to Union Pacific’s chief engineers to design a 4-6-6-4 steam locomotive that utilised two sets of driving wheels each with their own steam cylinders. The Challenger’s impressive articulated wheel arrangement made it one of the most successful large steam locomotive designs ever developed and was considered to be one of the most technologically advanced of its kind, providing both high horsepower and efficient operations.Their mammoth weight made the Challenger a regular sight on UP’s heavy mountainous freight routes but they were also put into service on the occasional passenger service through mountain territories to California and Oregon. In total, 252 Challengers were built between 1936 and 1943 by the American Locomotive Company and Baldwin Locomotive Works, just less than half for UP.The Union Pacific Challenger V2.0 for Train Simulator is available in two liveries - the famous Union Pacific black livery and Union Pacific lined grey livery. Key features include TSX effects, new smoke and steam particle emitters, and enhanced cab interior.The Sherman Hills Add-On (available separately) is required to play the scenarios included with this Add-On.ScenariosFour scenarios for the Sherman Hill route:Challenger Intro RunChallenger on Sherman Hill Cheyenne to LaramieChallenger Working at WyconChallenger Working the BNSF StubMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

The sounds one the engine sound great. Its a good pulling and a hard pusher. My only flow is that the Bell sounds like a Toy train. I wound have perfired the bell sound from the Big boy.Other then that its a great engine and can't wait to see how far this engine gose. The Pros:A nice looking model, seemingly very realisticnice sounding whistlenice old-school bellQuite a few scenarios for Sherman Hill.Cons:The passenger cars included do NOT have a passenger viewthe whistle loop is too long.Extremely hard to see out of the cab window.Overall, I would definitly recommend this DLC, especially to anyone who is a fan of UP steam.. When I first saw the pricetag, I was excited. I thought to myself, "What a great deal!" I couldn't wait for the download to finish. Excitedly, I put the Challenger on my favorite test map, Pacific Surfliner. (Long, has many hills, and is good for finding out what a loco can do)My exitment turned to dismay when I opened the throttle, and it all went downhill from there. Soon, I realized why it was so cheap.The Challenger is completely unrealistic. The front engine set's number boards display a different number than the number on the cab. When the wheels are slipping, it is only the rear set of drivers, because an articulated acts like a lash up of diesels, or a double header: an engineer on each "loco" even though one is just a set of drivers.The challenger can't keep steam up even when the throttle is closed. How do they solve this problem in the programming? When the boiler pressure hits less than 170 PSI, the generation rate shoots up, and the usage rate goes way down. (EG, the usage rate is at 2,475, it shoots down to half that, even with the throttle wide open. I gave up on using advanced controls and manual fireman when running the Challenger)The whistle goes on for 3 seconds, even when I just tap the key.The cylinder \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 don't work, even though there is a valve for it in the cab, and the bell is a rapid, high pitched dingdingdingdingding, instead of a deeper, slower dong--dong--dong.The couplers on the cars that you get are broken: once you uncouple, you cannot recouple.There are no interiors for the passenger cars and the caboose, either. (This is a minor complaint, but it is something that I wish they had taken the time to do)You cannot use the in-cab injectors, you HAVE to use the toolbar.The Challenger is a well modeled locomotive, but that does not redeem it. The running characteristics are junk. It cannot even reach 70 mph, which the real Challenger could do easily!. Here we are in TS2016 and this old stalwart of a model is still chugging along in the DLC store. A Railworks 2 model (2012), this is one of the oldest DLC locos available for TS, so don't expect anything grand if you decide to purchase it. Please take the $7.99 price tag seriously for what it is. It's at a reduced price because this mammoth is ancient (pun not intended). As part of the TS Classics range, you shouldn't expect anything technologically signifigant or magnificently designed. It may have been state of the art at the time it was released, but it pales in comparison to what is available now.PROS:-It's the only Challenger model for TS that is available to my knowledge.-Will serve well for scenario creators on old steam routes.-3rd party minor upgrades are available on RWA.-Reduced price tag that comes with the TS Classics range.CONS:-Disgusting stock sounds-Disgusting cab-Disgusting exterior-Disgusting physics-Just Disgusting (for today's standards)Buy it if you need it for scenarios, or if you wish to own a little piece of history, but don't buy it thinking it's good content. Perhaps one day, DTG will look back and give this loco a makeover, but don't expect that anytime soon.. If you love huge Union Pacfic steam engines then i recommend this. It comes with assicatied passenger cars and a baggage car. Along with some frieght cars.. I bought this engine and I got to say, it is a really nice engine and it comes in two liveries and one carear scenario and three or four standard scenarios. I recomend getting this if you like Union Pacific Steam trains and would like some scenarios for Sherman Hill.. Engine seams to be on the gutless side.The Big Boy has more pulling power.. The set is very good. Challanger engines in all variations (Except the Clinchfield, and DRGW). 9.5\/10. Not a particularly in depth simulation, but it's the Challenger. A fun little sim when you want something a bit simpler than the FEF-3.. Whatever happened to the consolidation that used to come with this? Got a thumbs down from me cuz the consolidation is gone, horible physics and sounds, and RSC just did a bad job on it.
