			=Using Your Updated Engine=
			Of course, without the ability to use your newly tuned engine in-game, there would be little point in making the changes. To use any engine file, simply place your loco in Surveyor, then use the Properties tool ("?") and click on the loco. Choose the appropriate engine from the list, then save your session and go for a drive...

	In order to make changes to the performance of your locos and rolling stock, you need to make changes to the underlying parameters that "drive" the physics simulation. Each traincar ~~has a file~~ called an "enginespec" which includes a long list of values that are utilized by the physics code to determine the behaviour of the train car. ~~Some~~ values (and ~~some parameters moreso than others)~~.		In order to make changes to the performance of your locos and rolling stock, you need to make changes to the underlying parameters that "drive" the physics simulation. Each traincar requires an asset called an "enginespec" which includes a long list of values that are utilized by the physics code to determine the behaviour of the train car. By tweaking the values, running tests and analysing the graph and report results, extremely accurate results can be obtained.

	This guide will not attempt to teach you how to tune these parameters, but will focus instead on the actual functional aspects of the tools.		This guide will not attempt to teach you how to tune these parameters, but will focus instead on the actual functional aspects of the tools.

	There are three options provided for saving. To begin with you will want to save changes in memory for testing, but once you are happy with the results, you can choose to overwrite the current asset or create a clone asset.
