RUN8 v3 Various.

For the Keybindings,
It can help to visualize 4 tiny levers on your 101 keyboard.
The first "lever" goes up and down over your insert/delete keys - that's your reverser.
The next "lever" goes up and down over your home/end keys - that's your Train/Automatic brake (typically the Big Red Handle in the cab)
The next "lever" goes up and down over the Page up/Page down keys - that's your independent (engine) brake.
and of course +/- on the numeric keypad are your throttle.

I've shared this with others that have told me the visualization instantly helped them remember the keys.
(There is also a little trick that will take the levers to 0 or 100% of travel if you hold the right control key while pressing Home/end/pageup/pagedown)

Still getting used to the controls with the key bindings, but so far so good.

Correct consist for the A-Line.

No wonder everyone uses the airlines in the US. Mile after mile crawling at 25mph. 😂.

[haverfordwest]

A Line, southern start.

Nice one Jason, thank you for the explanation. Yup i always assign settings to each game individually, thanks buddy.

we have 2 types of vegetation, most likely the shimmering is the one type which is originally from V1, a lot of the is related to the alpha and resolution, the biggest fix would be to increase the texture resolution wich should fix it but its not been on the priority list TBH and some of mod people have been working on something also make sure if running an rtx card go into the NVIDIA or whatever card you use and adjust the 3d settings for the Run8 executable - it makes a big difference

I think the post were the image is not found should be deleted.

Trees on the hill, flickering, shimmering, what ever you may describe it as.

Mike.

I tried pulling up the video, but it says it's unavailable.

[haverfordwest]

It has come to that, is it Vern 🤣🤣. Mind buddy it sounds like a very efficient way of choosing, very innovative of you 👍.

R8 has gone here Leaf85.

Hahahahahaha, so what decides which route to play, with the cards?

Mike.

Each card has two routes named against it (still left some over) so deal the first card to select the pair then a second card the colour determines whether you play the first or second named. Works quite well, put a post about it in the DTG TSC Off Topic section. (Will leave it there as I don’t want to get flayed by the mods for thread drift).

[Leaf85]

I'm going to have to upgrade methinks, that's great you aren't getting the track moir! I'll have to check next time I'm passing the farms along Mojave. as I'm sure you're right about the shimmering and the density of the foliage. Might be the shadow settings?

[haverfordwest]

Nice one Vern although a Cross of St George would be more appropriate. Have you ever worn a knotted hanky on your head buddy, i have honest truth 😂😂. I watched a video on SmartTube the other week, apparently Swindon is one of the worse places to live in England.

Hahahahahaha, so what decides which route to play, with the cards ?

I cannot be dealing with that shimmering, so R8 might be very short lived here.

Don't listen to me about Win11 Vern. Best to watch some YT reviews or even online written reviews.

Leaf85 I don't get the track moire now with my new system, i used to though. I have a GTX 4070 now, i couldn't afford to go any higher, with having to buy a new CPU, Mobo, liquid cooling system, DDR5 memory, new case and a new 850W PSU.

Not so many trees in much of the western routes, so less noticeable buddy i think.

Hiya Vern, wondered where you got to. Thought you might have been arrested for rioting, they didn't catch me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Now now buddy, graphics are not the b-all and end-all of a game 😁😁

I will try and find the gamebar, really don't like this Win11. I was on the point of formatting this morning and re-installing Win10.

Mike.

Couldn’t find my Union Jack tee shirt and knotted hanky to go on my head…
Anyhow If anyone rioted in Swindon, could only improve the look of the rancid hole. Most of the (former) shops already boarded up.

Been busy in TSC, devised a randomiser system with a pack of playing cards as with over 100 routes got bewildering what to pick and run.

Really do need to get back into Run 8 at some point.

Shame about Win 11, will probably hold off doing anything for a while even if I update the hardware. Sounds ,ike it could be Vista all over again.
