CLARIFORCATION!! Oovee's NMT

Hiya Chaps and Chapesses's

Oovee (Zane Saxton) Has cleared up the confusion regarding tonight's Release of the New Measurement Train (with Camera).

Derek (RSDerek) also confirmed that RSc Only released the files that where core to the NMT.

Zane has said he will push everything else that is required to make the train usable on UKTS during Wednesday Morning (24th February 2009).

a job well done!

Well it was certainly worth the extra few days wait for the latest RailWorks update (104.2b), With a brand new scenario interface and a timetable view scenario writing will be much more easy to get your head round with the latest new tools.

In addition numerous bug fixes one of which is the headlight bug have been rectified. just a word of warning from experience here: If you are using a re-skin of the class 158 (that was not part of the pack) the update will not have touched these. I will write a guide on what to do when i have actually fixed this myself.

this will be welcomed to those of us who drive outside the cab: The addition of 2 new warning icons "Wheel slip & AWS warning:



there have been many other improvements made and would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved with making the update.

S&DJR Modern by Will - http://www.sdjrmodern.blogspot.com/
Project Genesis by Darandio - http://railworksprojectgenesis.blogspot.com/


These guys have proven to be an important company to watch when it comes to rail simulator, the chaps are busy putting the final touches to their up comeing standalone product using RailWorks technology to power it, the now Cancelled in real life GARL route and they promised RailWorks users that the class 380 EMU would be released in January by RailSimulator.com. and Today (30th Jan 2010) has seen it released on the RailWorks DLC Steam Store page.

The Electric Multiple unit 380 is still under construction in real life but its now unleashed into RailWorks for those who are a fan of Electric Traction.

head over to the TotalizeMedia Website for detailed pictures of the 380 and the Work In Progress GARL.

Price: £11.99
Liverys: ScotRail
Passenger View: No
Other: Includes panto "Arching" effect
Authentic Sounds: The sounds are very detailed you do here some of the classic Desiro creeks and rattles ans of course the famous UFO sound when pulling off and slowing to a stop.

RANT ALERT, RANT ALERT!

I am in a serious mood at the moment I want to simply add text to the top right of the video with "RWTS TV" written there and do you think i am able to do this with ease... OH NO!

Firstly the gratest video tool we had was Windows Movie maker (XP / Vista Versions) Now Windows 7 comes along (and the operating system is fantastic)but no longer comes bundled with movie maker.

Since Microsoft invented thier "Live" services they incorperated movies maker into that and really dumbed it down for use from the clueless amatures.

Ok fair enough but all the tools we had are gone!

So i am resulting in playing with demo versions of pro software for video creation and even though the output from Windows live movie maker is in HD as soon as it hits Coral it degrades to that of a mobile phone video, Whats the deal???

if you know of easy to use software that will simply let me add what i want to the video AND maintain the Qaulity i'd be most gratefull!

Latest RW payware offerings....

AI Trains...... GRRRR

Okie dokie, so i said i'd chip in with the advent content as no one had sent anything to us for December 4th i managed to write a very basic and quick sceanrio so i could make a part 2 a bit more than just a drive to point A to point B.

unfortuinately the packager only packagede up the current save file??? i 100% know i ticked all the boxes inside the sceanrio in package manager to pack it all.. but never mind.

I found a major flaw in it when i conmtinued playing it. so i changed some AI about changes some times and added stop at instructions to keep them on the right path.

Now i have a problem where the AI stock i altered does not move, and one of them just vansishes off the map when i got near it....


Wonder if i can fix the scenario today? update when i have!

Dave.
