Vehicles

Vehicles are the OpenTrainER representation of any kind of rolling stock (locomotive, train carriage, multiple unit, tender, caboose, etc.). Vehicles are constructed in a modular fashion using Vehicle Components defined in a json file.

Vehicle files are placed in Documents/OpenTrainER/vehicles.

<vehicle-name>.json
{
	"name": "test_vehicle",
	"components": {
		"VehiclePhysicsComponent": {
		...
		},
		"ElectricDriverComponent": {
		...
		},
		"KeyboardInputComponent": {
			...
		}
		...
	}
}

Each vehicle component has its own settings (see Vehicle Components). Every vehicle needs at least a VehiclePhysicsComponent and some DriverComponent.
