Startup Procedure-ensure main breaker is on (found in hallway)
-pick a cabin and activate the circuit breakers in it
-press the button labeled "Start/Stop"
-wait a few seconds for the engine to kick in
this is not at all realistic, but then again this is stormworks
Side Note-i REALLY do not recommend using this in public servers without approval from someone with admin priviledges, as though this doesn’t take up much server fps, trains in general can have horrible desync problems in multiplayer
-when subjected to sudden load, engine rpm may violently fluctuate; this is the only disadvantage of using a pid to control an engine of this size
in case this happens, allow the engine to temporarily rev high in low gear, or shut-down and restart the entire locomotive
