My pleasure Stu :)

The Advanced version has a very advanced simulation of the air brakes (train brakes and engine/independent brakes). The HUDs (and that includes the F5 HUD) don't show the physical position of the...

There was a mistake in the sound blueprint for the patch - a pitch modifier where there was supposed to be a volume modifier - and so the patch will itself be patched shortly. It'll be a very tiny...

In a work-in-progress version (shown in some videos on YouTube), I had the compressor come on as soon as the steam throttle supplying it was opened, but that was wrong. The retail model does what the...

The problem with the Steam downloads, which was affecting several items of DLC (not just the Consolidation), has been fixed (at last!). I hope you enjoy running the loco :)

Smokebox

It's out!

The latest screenshots are on facebook today:

Great! I'm glad it helped :)

It could be a problem in the engine's LUA script. I had a similar problem with a cab glow, because I'd forgotten to deactivate the glow, by default.
I also find that it works better to do the...

Excellent news! I used his previous version and it worked very well indeed. It makes it much more comfortable when driving from the cab view (especially in expert mode in a steam loco).

One of my favourites is Portland Terminal by GTrax. It's not a long route but there is a lot of variety. I love driving down the main street at 10MPH with the bell clanging away, while looking at the...

Merry Christmas to you too Derek!

Yes, you can. TS2013 comes with a built-in scenario and route editor. There are lots of so-called "assets" (3D models, sounds, effects) that are already provided with the game. You can also include...

Yes, you're right. Derek also gave a big hint that he's involved in it. I assume there are more in the team.

Hertsbob is doing Marias Pass (he posted on RWA), so it should be a good one.

Rich, thanks for alerting us to this. I'm nearly ready to start on my scenarios and now I'll know to keep a close watch on their file sizes. In fact, I'll check the sizes of all my existing scenarios...

You've got at least one "like" ;)

Seriously. the track laying is impressive. A lot of work has clearly gone into it.

Thanks Doug,

Already done the blower ... actually two controls, one for the steam throttle to the blower, and another for the blower valve itself. You have to turn them both on to get the blower...

Hi Doug,

I'm making a US steam loco and I'm interested to know which additional controls you'd like to see. I've already added some working controls that aren't usually modelled (for example, the...

Incidentally, if you compare the most recent screenshots with the earlier one, you might notice that I corrected the shape of the domes as well as the width of the steam chest beneath the smokebox,...

RSC decide the price. I think they consult with me first, as well as before making any discounts, but really it's up to them to do the marketing and sales. I can tell you that it's got several...

It's getting quite near to completion. Just a few more things to add on the outside, a few more cab controls, and the sounds, plus I have to write some scenarios, and a manual (to explain all the...

You probably are, but just in case, I'll ask ... are you making sure to turn on the water to the injectors only while you're injecting water into the boiler, and turning it off after? If you leave...

I just want to let people know that I haven't forgotten about this. As soon as I've finished what I'm doing at the moment, I'll get back to looking at the signalling.

Don't worry about the EULA. RSC offered me a publishing contract, which I've accepted. The IPR is still mine, but we split the profit for sales made through Steam. It's the same deal they make with...
