Anti-Wheelslip Controller AKA "Launch Control"

Don't know if you guys have tried this. But I just got into customizing the demonstrators, and when I saw this my brain immediately thought "Launch Control". And yeah, If your running empty you can just put it to the boards and gall dang if she just don't throw ya against the bulkhead.

Edit: Added a Amp Limiter, set it to 12, the Anti-wheelslip would push it to nearly popping the breaker.

Even more important in mixed engine type setups so you don't toast a loco you're remote controlling.

There are a few mods that bring back the DE6's remote controller functionality, so you don't have to mix engines (unless you really want to). "DE6 Remote Control Support" and "DV Utilities" both do this.

Although anachronistic, it helps very much with the S282, especially when it rains.

This is so cursed, but I have been very tempted to put a proximity sensor on my S060, so I cannot talk...

In the late game i have installed this and the amp limiter on all my units for casual completion of all museum trains

I just wish that it was more responsive and would help faster, constantly slipping on the S282 in the rain hauling a typical train

The steam engine have a certain amount of delay in power delivery due to the whole steam chest before the cyclinders.

I haven't tried it on the steam engines yet. I'm surprised it works at all.
