Msts Bgpro Amrit Bharat Trainset [500+ SECURE]

According to the BGPro roadmap (shared on their official Facebook group in Dec 2024):

Backup locomotives (HWH WAP5 30191 & 30192) for versatile activity creation. Immersive Rolling Stock: Includes the full Amrit Bharat livery for SLR (Seating-cum-Luggage Rake) SLP (Sleeper) GS (General Second Class) Models feature detailed 3D interiors and custom for an authentic "in-seat" experience. Dynamic Animations:

Functionality is another area where the BGPro version shines. In Open Rails, the trainset utilizes advanced "Distributed Power" settings to mimic the push-pull operation. This means that both locomotives work in sync, providing consistent power and braking force across the entire rake. For enthusiasts who enjoy long-distance activities, this trainset is optimized for performance, ensuring smooth frame rates even in dense route environments.

The challenge for simulators is modeling the – driving from the cab while the rear locomotive pushes. This is where MSTS BGPro steps in.

: Fully compatible with Microsoft Train Simulator (MSTS) and highly recommended for Open Rails to take advantage of advanced physics and 3D cab features.

Unlike a regular electric loco, driving the Amrit Bharat push-pull requires different muscle memory.
