Another Tutorial from me, this is about how to put together a basic scenario using the Timetable view & adding AI. Also shows how to use the 'Waypoint' function for getting the correct path.

I hope you all enjoyed your Weekend I certainly did with Clan Lines first VSOE Surrey Hills Luncheon on saturday (video will be posted later).

Right now i would like to bring your attention to 2 fantastic NSE livery EPB's available for download.

Will from Rw-Trainsim has done an 4EPB in NSE livery: http://rs-trainsim.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=1145

Kali has released a London Lines NSE 2 EPB:  http://rs-trainsim.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=1158

Thanks to both Creators & Dave B especially for creating these units.

Anyone for a South West Train Livery?

I know this is probably fictional but i don't actually care. Will from RW-Trainsim has very kindly painted the 4EPB into the old South West Trains Slam Door Livery!

you can grab the Re Skin of Dave B's fantastic 4EPB from: http://rs-trainsim.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=1143

Railworks 2: Scenario Editing & Assets Filter

Thank you to the 26,000+ People who have viewed my videos (collectively). So Not only am i going to continue regular video tutorials for Railworks2 I can now upload videos longer than 15 minutes if i need too.

So here is the latest tutorial.

New Year, New look & New Name

Beings as it is is a New Year i thought I'd be a very good and considerate Blogger and re-design the blog, i did it into the theme i love the most.... Network SouthEast, granted most of the background is black but Text & Links are in NSE colours.

Also i have changes the name to another past Time that my heart still belongs too, Slam Door EMU's And hence from being biased to all classes except the 423 i went for a more universal name that covers all Slam door trains.   

This is the same with forums i Frequant (well there may be the odd forum where I am still Slammer423) but I will be known as SlamdoorTrains.

I'll be back soon with more How to Videos, Also news of a UK route in production from Railsimulator.com that is right up my street!

Happy New Year all!
Dave.

Level Crossing Tutorial

Well as i promised that i will start using this blog a bit more, and try and keep it as helpful as possible and to try and put some positive to help take out a lot of the negatives about RW people seem to be having (but  lets not go there, For me Railworks Works as it should, we have a dedicated support team, and we have some fantastic stuff in the pipeline from freeware developers & Payware developers.

So anyway, i had a crazy idea at about midnight on the 30th October to do a video tutorial using my voice to explain, so apologies if it scares you, but if you where wondering how to lay the new animated level crossing in RailWorks, then look no further. (well actually yes, just below this writing in fact) lol.



Regards,
Dave

Long time, No Post

Well, I must firstly slap my hand for the lack of posts recently, however, I am going to do my utmost to post more and post useful info or videos.

So I am going to start with RailWorks 2: Train Simulator, (from now on will be referred to as RW2:TS), this was released on Monday Evening as a free update to current RW users, and a Re-branded version of the original RailWorks (including Mondays update) to the general public.

Boxed versions will be in shops (by late October)* 

RW2:TS introduced some improvements to the general user interface As shown in the pictures below. Also (as shown below) a nice fresh look to the editor fly out menus (scenario & Route editor mode only).

Not only that but Paul Jackson (CEO) RailSimulator.com Said he wanted to make the game appeal and usable to those who may find it daunting learning keyboard keys to operate the train, In an interview with James Woodcock (video below)



also included is the long awaited animated Level Crossing's (very simple to lay and get working) And improvements to the scenario editor.

For decent reviews i would like to refer you to two sources UKTS (UKTrainSim) & James woodcocks Website.
