Engine Performance:
This pack simulates the F40PH-2, which has a power output of 3,200 hp and an HEP capacity of 800 kW.

HEP Implementation:
For simplicity of installation, I made the non-driver engines operate in HEP mode. Since Train Simulator does not implement HEP loads according to the type and length of a consist, I decided to simulate an 800-kW load, which takes 1072 hp from the engine. On HEP mode, the engine runs at a constant 893 RPM (Max RPM), regardless of throttle position. An 800-kW load limits the power output to 2128 hp.

NOTE: If you try to tinker with the power settings in the engine’s configuration file, please bear in mind that according to the "Train Simulator Developer Documentation" (Available here: http://tscdevdocs.co.uk/reference-manual/blueprint-editor/diesel-simulation-blueprints/diesel-electric-subsystem.html#TOC-Diesel-Electric-Subsystem), engine power values are expressed in kW and tractive effort in kN.
