  • Greg Lake ist tot

    Lucky Man, Tarkus and many other classics. Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends...... A sad loss, remember first listening to them as a young boy in 1974. :prost: for the man with the voice and guitar.

  • Bossman Games - New British Add-on manufacturer

    There is a small error in one of the files with an easy fix as below from a review on steam
    The 60533 (Happy Knight) loco doesn't show the nameplate correctly. Problem is in the A2_numbers.dcsv file in the ap archive. This shows "<Name d:type="cDeltaString">60533I</Name>" should be 60533i (ie lower case!), just make this change and all locos will show correctly. Otherwise a great add-on for the Blue Peter A2 loco.

  • TS2017 Raildriver Interface Vol 1.07

    I have uploaded a new ControlNames.txt file which will get the lights and wipers working on the Class91. Copy it to your Settings folder, run the "Extract Single Folder" option and point to RSC\Class91Addon, restart TS and the raildriver interface and all should be well

  • TS2017 Raildriver Interface Vol 1.07

    Now updated to version 1.03 after an issue with .net. This version has an overlay available which enables data to be shown on screen about your train. This overlay can be moved around the screen depending on the mode selected. It also has a switchable alerter for AWS/DSD/SIFA which can be heard in any view. As always if anybody is willing to translate the readme to German they are more than welcome to do so, provided they send me a copy for the author to add to the original package. The overlay also shows information about the route, ie next speed limit, gradient, distance etc.

  • TS2017 Raildriver Interface Vol 1.07

    This now has an advanced option which when selected will display extra information about brakes, boiler etc.
    From from CobraOne thread on UKTS;
    I have released v1.0.2 which has resulted in quite a bit of the code regarding the data extraction being rewritten.
    The main changes are
    1. Fixed error with the Data Extractor crashing when extracting the Class 91 & AEM7 and hopefully others that I can't test.
    2. Fixed Data Extractor over-writting Armstrong Powerhouse sound files.
    3. Now extract extra data from the engine.bin files regarding using notches to improve brake function.
    4. Multiple changes to lever maps now saved correctly.
    5. Fixed errors in the overlay displayed in Advanced mode.
    6. Major change in the program to use Virtual Key Codes rather than Scan Codes to enable the AZERTY keyboard to function properly. Those using AZERTY keyboards will have to change back to the default_ButtonMapper
    7. Added the option on the main screen to assign the ThrottleAndBrake lever to the LocoBrake and change the direction of the lever which was available on the previous version but had been removed because you can reassign the levers on a per loco basis in the lever map.
    8. I changed the updated lever maps to only hold the data for the values that need changing and not the values for all controls. This is because Armstrong Powerhouse sound packs can change the values of the original files and restoring the updated lever map overwrote the AP changes. As a result of this the Updated Lever Maps are cut down versions of the whole lever map so you must not copy the updates over the original or you will no longer have the full lever map available. The updates are merged with the original when you use the either option in the Railworks Data Extractor.
    9. As some of the loco's get renamed in scenario's, If the program finds files in the relevant folder for the loco you are trying to drive, it will ask you if you wish to use one of those. You can then select one that closely matches the name of the loco you are driving and it will create a copy with the new name for the loco ready to load next time.
    10. User manual (13 pages) now written and can be viewed in either word or a pdf reader, any questions regarding using the program should be explained in the manual.


    Those who have used v1.0.1 have two options.
    1. Treat this as a new program, delete all your files and directories from V1.0.1 and copy over the files from V1.0.2. Run the program and extract the data files again, this will ensure all your files conform to the new format.
    OR
    2. Delete the Updates\Lever Fixes folder as the files are no longer compatable with V1.0.2, copy all the files from V1.0.2 to your v1.0.1 folder overwritting the files there. If you find a loco does not work, run the Extract Single Folder option and when asked if you want to overwrite the existing files select Yes, this will regenerate the Lever Maps.

    If you downloaded the route and asset files before 0900 on the 2nd December 2016 please download this file to correct some missing scenery assets - sorry!

    @Schwarzwaldbahner Drivers have to learn the routes and signalling and sign a document saying that they have a thorough knowledge of the routes. You have to learn the route so that you can drive over it in all conditions, night, snow, thick fog etc. Normally you would spend several weeks/months depending on complexity travelling in the driving cab on normal trains and learning everything . Also special trains were used in areas like London and the south. In modern times simulators are also used. Braking distances are not sign posted and normally you would find your own indicators eg, a bridge, farmhouse etc when you learned the route, or the drivers you are learning with, will tell you theirs. We also have a manual called the sectional appendix that gives details of the routes a bit like your Losebuch, but it is no use when you are looking for a tiny green light on a semaphore signal in thick fog at night travelling at 90mph. British drivers really need to learn a route properly. On routes with modern MAS signalling it is a little easier, with semaphore signals it is a big challenge. Until recently it was quite common that speed changes were not signposted unless they were very low and this was another thing you had to learn. In the past you often traveled over the routes for years before becoming a driver, but now drivers often come straight into the job with no railway experience, which is why they use simulators as well for route learning. Most route have mileposts, but often these are missing or don't make sense because different private companies built different sections of the route.

    From UKTS;



    The Oakwood Shed is pleased to announce our much awaited freeware route for 'Train Simulator 2017'.


    South West Wales v5.0.
    http://www.oakwood-shed.co.uk/sww5/sww_route5.html


    The area of coverage is the South West of Wales, Pyle to Milford Haven and includes the oil terminals at Waterston and Robeston.
    Some areas in this version are incomplete but included to show the scale of the route. New sections have been added with updated
    visions of Carmarthen and Swansea Station areas including the new IEP Sidings!


    The route scenery is not intended to be exact representation however every effort has been made to be as true to real life as
    possible within the confines of DTGs 'Train Simulator' software.


    For Information: Due to technical reasons this route is not suitable to be merged with any other - sorry!


    PLEASE NOTE: Support for previous versions has now been withdrawn with immediate effect.

  • BR Class 37/4,5 & 7 From Railright

    From Facebook;


    Now 40145 is out, focus can again shift to the new locomotive project. Modeling is largely complete so I think its about time you all get to see whats been happening over at RailRight.
    The Class 37 is a favorite among many and I feel is a natural step on from the Class 40. Built from the ground up, the Class 37 will contain advanced scripting and again, the aim is to provide a good amount of visual variation.
    For now, here's a render of the model (WIP) with more info to follow soon.
    Alex



    For those looking for news on the Class 37, Things have been quiet, yes, so It seems only fair to show off an in development cab render. This particular cab setup is from an EWS liveried Class 37/5. It has SSC, NRN radio, Sandite equipment and a reinforced centre window frame fitted. More and more bits of kit were added to the exterior and cabs when the railways were privatized although that's for another day!
