To create a pack with a train & missions must be much too difficult if they offer them for £ 12 - 20 on official site, comparing to how much Euros people able to "invest" in to Vstep's Shipyard.  Of course, Vstep have their own excuses for those prices.

The model by it self is as realistic as possible, moreover it's for free.

I know how  ;)

So the TEM2 is THE MAN and realism.What it has is locomotives and wagon but not russian route, so you have to pick the most suitable route to add the locomotive and wagons to. I remember if you go to route editor and you press the filter blue button, the you look for something on top right screen, that should have TEM2 and you have to tick the box. Then you look back in the section where the engines are displayed and wagons and should be there. But before you do all this make sure you find the route then you do all these steps. I belive your next challenge will be starting the locomotive and moving it, it's harder than it looks because you have to press alot of buttons and move a few leavers! God I love that realism. By the way all Rail works 2 owner will get Rail Works 3 for free and 98% of Rail works 2 content is compatible with Rail works 3!

Open the world editor, switch to track editing mode, choose the selection tool (dotted square), run it up and down the tracks ou want to electrify and in the properties window on the right that appears when you select track, change the lightning symbol property from none to OHE.

Just missing pistons, conrods, crank, bearings, cylinder head, water pump, turbo, manifolds, injectors, control equipment, injector pump, injector pipes (common rail), filters, bellhousing, flywheel, main block and the sump.

Post by: Finn700 on September 27, 2011, 17:51:35
I'm using the TSX and won't be unchecking it ever again.
You could be using old video drivers or old hardware, I havent got any visual glitches with it. All the light effects are way better and the depth of field etc...
What I must say it needs some serious optimazation, but my SSE runs at worst in 15 fps, this with TSX won't do any worse.

I bought the ICE yesterday or so. I don't know is the upgrade version free for current users (which would be a big letdown for me atleast :) ). But what I've seen now the digital readout of the automatic speed-setter doesn't work anymore. So maybe the thing automatically updated itself to the newest version, with the patch coming up. :)

Quote
For lighting to work in tunnels on older routes materials and textures need to be updated. The wall of the old tunnel is black and the track is just off black so you will not see it light up much when a light is shone on it. I do believe there is a task on one of the artists to look into this.

I usually start breaking when the distance to the station is just under the speed, ie 80 mph break just after 0.8 miles from the station, and keep it about 15 mph whilst going through the station

A Emergency break stop is not very fun for the passengers - trust me  :doh:

Mallard is part of the A4 Collection by Just Trains, you can buy it off Amazon but not download it from just trains themselves yet as they are checking to make sure its still compatible - the Class 20 has a upside down cab view now - and I only got it the day before RW3

Edit: Saved the game just in case and ignored the signal after 15 minutes of waiting..  :doh:

Are the circled buttons the ones that don't work?

Cause that is the horn thats not working... :/

Does the horn lever go backwards as well as forwards to incorporate two-tone horns?


That is what I thought Ballast  :)

Are the circled buttons the ones that don't work? YES

Does the horn lever go backwards as well as forwards to incorporate two-tone horns? It does go back and forth and I guess you could.

Standing reds are quite common specially near stations or other special places. In that position you should ask the dispatcher to clear the red for you.

rtfm. ;)
But in short : Press the tab-key. :)

btw. Havent completed the mission 5.
Tried it once and I had derailing about 1-3 miles before the horse-shoe, and what I've read it could be a common problem, so it could be good plan to save the position after some miles after going to the downhill just be sure.

Yup it is, It's a safety feature is to make sure drivers are allert or awake. Just press the reset button, on the keyboard i think its "q" It was installed after a CN heavy freight train collided with a passenger train a couple of years ago. Thanks to that accident, the rails are one step safer.

You need to pull out the menu on the right edge of the screen to enable seeing the new content in the object menu on the left edge.
If you have trouble, holler and I’ll make a screenshot for you tomorrow.

Pull out the Browser—on the left, and click the small blue thingy below the large blue thingy.
Then you can select the source of the DL item from the properties panel on the right; in this case, HH.
Put green checks opposite the item you want to make available in the browser.

I gather from that remark that you have not used the Scenario Editor. The bad news is that there is somewhat more work involved in getting a new loco operational in RW than in Trainz. You also need to set up a Driver—even in free roam.

As in Extremes, using the Editors is what separates the men from the boys. The good news is that RW is not nearly so secretive about such details of the game. There is much information available from within the game and on the various forums.

Begin by studying the Creator Manual that you can find on the first Train Simulator 2012 screen:
From the top menu, select Tools & Docs. Under Documents on the left, click the link to Creator Manual.
Sections 4.3 “Placing a Player Train” & 4.4 “Adding a Driver” are what answer your immediate question, but you will need to study other sections to learn the basic moves.
If you ask specific, detailed, questions about anything that gives you trouble, I’ll clarify.

About your language: Using asterisks while leaving your meaning clear will not save you from getting your butt kicked off of the forum.

Not always, in most trains (apart from Steam) there is an alerter that rings when you're about to pass a signal or similar, if you don't press the Acknowledgement button to say you are aware of the danger/signal/change ahead the emergency brakes will apply automatically to stop the train. When you pass over the alerter "block" on the track, and the buzzer sounds, press the button to say you have seen the signal or danger.

I hope that makes sense, I worked this out a while ago, and adds more realism to the game.

Hi Clanky,

I, too, am impressed with RW3. As a long-time Trainz user who took a long hiatus when ShipSim offered me a chance to steer something, it’s difficult to be totally objective.
I’ve been watching RW develop since the Kuju days, but the huge amount of content available for Trainz kept my interest there. However, with Trainz 12 there is the same legacy problem that plagues Extremes—much of the good content won’t work in the newer version.

The graphics are excellent in both RW3 and Tr12; which is better depends largely on which aspects float your boat.

The driving interface in RW3 is very good once you get accustomed to its differences from Tr.
The new TSX graphics engine seems to be a winner. RW appear to make good use of GPUs to take much of the computational burden off of the CPU—something that needs to happen with Extremes if it is to progress much further.

From a technical standpoint, the RW Route & Scenario Editors are very interesting and well documented. There is a refreshing degree of transparency in the way the nuts and bolts are documented.
As is traditional in the train simulator business, third-party content providers are encouraged and very well supported. I expect that the available DLs to keep increasing rapidly.

My experience with S.T.E.A.M has been entirely seamless through various updates and DLs.

Regards,
Marty

Thanks Marty, is it as easy to produce new environments / scenarios in RS3 as in TRS?

I have been running TRS2010 on my laptop and it struggles at times, was thinking of buying a decent desktop / gaming PC to run TRS12 and some other things anyway, but am tempted to go with RW3 instead of TRS12 now.

Hi Clanky,

It’s early days for me where route & scenario building in RW3 is concerned. I’ve just recently been devoting the bulk of my free time to that—and mainly to the track-laying and scenario aspects rather than the scenery. My general impression is that the tools for the latter are at least as good as, and in some ways better than, the tools in the earlier versions of Trainz.

RW3 provides a very flexible grid and snapping for positioning objects, and a good distance measuring tool. There is much help available, both from the official RW site and from many independent forums, which are, for the most part, business-like and devoid of nonsense.

Many developer tools are available from those sites that allow you to import DEM data or overlay the terrain with Google Map decals. You can also place route markers in Google Maps and then convert them to route blueprints for import into RW. This simplifies laying out track, roads, etc. in prototypical routes. To the extent that Routes are the equivalent of Environments, they are at least possible for a user to make independently of any action by the game company.

Scenario construction might be compared to Mission creating—it has its learning curve but is well documented. It is very interesting in its many possibilities—AI trains, automatic switching & dispatching, freight & passenger loading/unloading, etc. AI trains are somewhat less prone to squirrely behavior (I think the track may have something to do with that).

More on this later as I get deeper into it. I think you’ll find RW3 is a good investment.
Those HS train shots don’t really show the graphics quality as well as, say, the UP Big Boy does.

http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,26439.msg358658.html#msg358658 (http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,26439.msg358658.html#msg358658)
I’ll post a full shot when I get a chance.

Hi Clanky,

To further answer your question about route & scenario construction, here is a short sample of the documentation about using the time compression facility to test AI train behavior.
Clicking one of the blue links should let you explore the relatively massive documentation provided by railsimulator.com. 
In addition there are a number of independent forums that give help. You can find a list of them on the SUPPORT page of railsimulator.com under Developers.
I recommend the 3D Trains forum; Marc runs a tight ship with many very informative posts and no sandbox.

RB,
Which loco—which scenario or route?
Is it a route you made, or a supplied route?
There is no real electricity in those virtual wires—the loco should be powered if the pant is up even though it doesn’t touch the catenary.
If you compare it to another standard loco, does the commutator bar reach the same height?

its all the fast electric ones. u know, the tilty ones?

i place them in seeberg where theres cables over all the tracks.

when i play the scenario, i select an electric locomotive and the pantograph is down, even though it says its up. therefore, i cant start the train.

RB,
If you mean the Class 390/SEC, I downloaded it last night and ran it in Seebergbahn with no trouble, along with every other electric in my inventory. Just follow the directions that I posted in this topic, as well as the manuals installed with that DL.
Remember that you must have a Driver assigned.

FYI—RW3 Manuals & other Documents:
Unlike some other games, RailWorks provides comprehensive documentation not only at the Player level, but also at the developer level.

Player manuals in PDF form are installed on your computer with the game, and supplemented with manuals for content that you download through S.T.E.A.M:
In the first screen (RWOS1) when you start RW3, there is a button in the upper left to take you to the official RW site where you can find links to developer information and other forums and sources.
But for now, click the “Tools & Docs” button on the menu bar at the top of the screen.

RWOS2 shows four blue links on the right side below “Documents”. These take you to the primary manuals that were installed with the game.
In particular, the Creator Manual has very clear instructions for placing DL content into scenarios.
The “Open Folder” button below the links takes you to the folder that holds all of the manuals that have been installed.

RWOS3 shows a part of the list of manuals installed on my computer.
You can double-click to read a manual, or you can right-drag it onto your desktop and either Copy it there or create a Shortcut. I don’t recommend moving it.
If you copy it, you can move the copy to a laptop or I-Pad so you can read it while you are in the game.

RW3 is well-behaved—at least on my Win7 64-bit—so you should be able to use the “Windows logo” button to switch to the desktop to read a manual, and then use one of the RW buttons on the taskbar to return to the game. You should find that the game has paused—click Continue.

Hi Dex,

I have to agree with TFM that the Class 86 is the more challenging to drive, even though its max speed is much lower.
What makes it so is mainly the slow response of the tap-changer—although it is somewhat quicker than the prototype. Regulating the speed, and stopping in time, requires concentration and anticipation.
Driving using the in-cab controls requires increasing the FOV to as high as 120 degrees to keep one eye on the road & one on the tap-changer and notch indicator. But, it’s great fun!

Regards,
Marty

And your practical experience with the AL6 is how much, mvsmith? Response to throttle controls are virtually instant. The old AL3 and AL4 used mercury arc rectifiers and they suffered with some issues with throttle controls not being actioned at the main transformer but there is no electrical commonalities with the AL6 (or 86 as most will know it).

I have a set of engineering manuals "borrowed" from Willsden IC depot if you want one...

The mechanical tap-changer in the prototype upon which the RW model is based takes nearly a half-minute to run up or down. Thankfully, the model is not quite so realistic.
The difficulty in the model is in making the key taps of the right duration. Very short taps move the tap-changer a single step, but a slightly longer press will put it in auto run-up. The same problem happens in returning the handle to HOLD position without overstepping and cutting power.
We do have quite a few railroad museums here in the Northwest, some with electrified test tracks.

A nice cop out. I can tell you from practical, first hand experience that the main transformer in AL6 did not take 30 seconds to change its windings over.

You do know that TFM was showing British 86- and I'm not aware of any being exported to America- so are you confusing it with some other American '86'?

As for being irrelevant, I beg to differ. You are bamboozeling kids with technical jargon and some of them aren't yet wise enough to spot it. Stick to boats and computers, for which I'm sure you are knowledgeable.

Hi TFM,
Here are some screenshots on the Seebergbahn in autumn:
The first was set for 10PM. The time seems more like sunset.
The second is set for 1AM.
I had the brightness set at 33 in Options to see inside the cab of Big Boy. I reset the brightness to 25 and repeated the 1AM shot.
Without looking into it further, it appears that you may need to fudge the time and reduce the brightness to get it as dark as you want.
You may need to adjust your monitor and room lighting as well.
Regards,
Marty

You seem to be incapable of understanding that the subject at hand is the behavior of the Class 86 model in the simulator.
Unless you are running that DL in RailWorks3, as I am, I submit that I am more knowledgeable on that subject than you, and that you are again acting as a troll.

Quoting from the documentation supplied with the DL on the subject of the Tap Changer:

This controls the voltage applied to the four traction motors and
is the means of controlling the locomotive’s speed. It works by
varying the output voltage from the auto transformer which
supplies the main traction transformer. This has the effect of
varying the voltage supplied to the traction motors via the
rectifier packs. There are 38 voltage taps that can be selected.
The level of currently applied voltage is displayed on the Tap
Indicator in the form of 0-100%, 100% equates to full power
being applied. In reality it takes about 25 seconds for the tap
changer to run from zero to 100% and vice versa meaning that
it’s important for the driver to think ahead and be fully
conversant with the speed limits on his route.

That is the behavior that is emulated in the simulator, although, mercifully, the run-up time is shorter.

Run from 0 to 100% in reality and you'll send the traction motors into overload. SOrry, my misunderstanding. I thought you were always such a stickler for accuracy; not in this case old boy.

Is there no end to your capacity for misunderstanding or misinterpreting what you read?

That statement says only how fast the TC moves. The document goes on to warn about overloading the traction motors, which you would know if you had that DL.
That same speed applies to running the TC down, which is certainly something that one might want to do. For reasons I explained, that can be difficult to do with the D key without getting into complete shutdown.
When it comes to operating the loco in RW3, you seem to have little of actual value to contribute.

In the context of forums, one who is not an actual user of the subject, but goes on simply to spout irrelevant or misleading statements, to flame, pursue a personal vendetta, or simply out of a pathetic need for attention is, by definition, a troll.

You can have this place all to yourself; I have a policy of not visiting topics that suffer a troll infestation.

That depends on what file type you get.
If it is a .rwp or a .rpk file, you install it with the Package Manager that you run from the Welcome Screen—the first screen that you see when you start RW.
First click the Refresh button to list all of the stuff you have.
Then click the Install button and find the .rwp package file. Then click Open.

@ Rbsanford, just for future reference, a ZIP file is a compressed file where some of the common information is removed to leave only the bits that you really need, what you did by extracting it is to change it back to the original file and size, otherwise known as unZIPing.

annoying game crash while trying to play g-trax steam locomotives. any help?

FYI: Some steam engines will hang & crash RW3 when selected in a scenario if the tender is not properly attached.
The first two pictures show good & bad attachment for the Northern. Note that the brake hoses are not connected in the bad case.
The next two pictures show correct alignment for the Berkshire and the Consolidation. They will also hang RW3 if not connected.
Note that the brake pipes on Consolidation are not connected; perhaps the tender is borrowed—as are the sounds and cab view.
Challenger and Big Boy will not hang RW3 if the tender is not connected. You can back up and couple to them in the scenario. Pictures show the correct alignment, and also the alignment for the articulated driver on Big Boy. Challenger also has articulated drivers that must be correctly attached.

you appear to hav been mistaken. wat i ment was that wen i try to play one, the engine (not the tender too) appears invisible. a few seconds afterward, i get a window saying "something bad happened too your program. would you like to save a diagnostic file?"

but i just debugged the computer, so ille try again and post wat happens. ;)

I bought the massive donner pass when it was 50% sale.
When I saw the mission times I lolled :)
The longest what I've seen so far (I've got the Horse shoe) and horse is around 120 mins max (2h).
The introduction ride for Donner was scheduled to 215 min (3,5 hours) and the couple of the longest are 360 mins (6 hours) long.
That's swell, but during my first run I experienced this : Hellride (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO46O3CW4jo)

What's the difference between Railworks Challenger DLC, and The UP Big Boy DLC?

They are both articulated locomotives; the big difference is that each power section on Big Boy has four coupled axles (4-8-8-4), while Challenger has three coupled axles in each section (4-6-6-4).
Both have two-axle leading trucks and a two-axle truck under the cab.

Big Boy develops 135,375 pounds of tractive effort versus 97,400 pounds for Challenger.

Big Boy is heavier at 540 tons vs 486, and longer—40.487 meters vs 30.16 meters.
Neither is “The most powerful, heaviest, etc.” The DM&IR M3 Yellowstone and the Chessie Allegheny are arguably entitled to that title (for US engines) depending upon what criteria you choose.
The most powerful steam engines during the last 25 years of the Age of Steam were the Beyer-Garratt 4-8-2+2-8-4 locomotives that hauled freight from Mombasa up to Nairobi on East African Railways.

That is what “articulated” means—the front power unit swivels like a bogie to follow the track. Most of the very large steam engines were built that way. On a Beyer-Garratt, both the front and rear power sections swiveled.

I have the Saitek proflight Yoke system and I want to use it to control the trains.
May I use it and if yes how can? The manuals are not referred to it.
I want to use the three levers of the quadrant to control the regulator, reverse direction and brake and the buttons for the views and other functions.
Thank you

Have a look at a program called XPadder, this can change your joystick's input and change it to a keyboard key which in turn controls the trains regulator, reversor and brake

Hi Dexter,
The Selkirk plow is a nice model, and you can ride on top to see where you are going—even go inside in free view.
Unfortunately, it throws the same amount of snow when it is not moving—even in the summer.
The JT plow does not start to throw snow until above about 8 mph.

what if you mixed US railroads with UK railroads?

then you could have a Class 92 in Union Pacific and a Dash 9 in Freightliner.

come to think of it, a P42D-C in Intercity Swallow would be very slick. ;D

Marty,

If you have a British line in RW and want a truly authentic scene of winter chaos, you don't need the plough (converted from 1930-1950 steam tender btw)...

All you need is a mild frost to stop the trains here.  :-\

Or a heavy leaf-fall in autumn—hence the need for the RHTT.
I would think that it would need to be pushed, like the plow, and for the same reason.

And ive spent all day making the test track bigger and better ... It now includes a Port and now waiting for the Class 70 to Be unloaded of this ship

and my plan is...

Unload 70001/2/3/4 @ the port

Drive to Freightliner HQ in the Main Centre sidings. Uncople 70002/3/4 collect Cargowagons Drive to the Port and Propelle a 25-car Container Train back around the test track Circle:)

And here is the port...Waiting for the 70's

How the mighty have fallen. The Country that invented trains- reduced to importing ugly diesels.

Cup holders have been fitted to many classes over the years- they are called driving desks. Hot water boilers for tea/coffee have been fitted since the first generation of production diesels- (Sulzer 2 for example or Brush 2)... a feature missing on most of these modern imported meccano sets.

Not sure that in 2062 that you will see as many of these ugly boxes as you have seen Brush 4s somehow...

Incidentally, these moden stress bodied coffins on wheels are designed to receive impact in a certain way to minimise damage to some sections by allowing damage elsewhere. Personally if I had to be in a rail accident, a heavyweight Brush chassis sitting atop of a pair of 12 tonne Commonwealth bogies.

No, that isn't bragging at all. It's an opinion- nothing more.

I could equally counter that (until our useless gov allowed us to fall behind) our technology was a good 10-15 years ahead of your own. There again, it isn't just trains that we've beaten you on.

Americas big advantage is money- lots of it. You don't really invent things- you just buy the companies elsewhere that DO. Fair play to you. Shame now that you're trillions of dollars in debt you can't any more.

Is now a good time to point out that the U2 spyplane- that pinnacle of 1960 American invention was actually a substantial copy of an earlier British design? Of course the fact that it was only 50% of a copy is nothing to do with the fact that Britain (BAC) only gave 50% of the data to America...

Title: Re: Railworks 3 - London - Brighton With Class 377 Electrostar COMING SOON!
Post by: Stuart2007 on April 16, 2012, 07:46:13
It is, in basic terms, a carriage/ guards van (a caboose I believe you call it there) where the driver has a seat and a couple of controls and little leprachauns take his instructions and run to the other end of the train where the locomotive is coupled and then press the buttons and controls.

In some countries this job of the leprachaun is taken by multi-way cables (38 way+) or by multiplexers (either FDM or TMD)- in essence, the locomotive is remotely controlled from the other end using controls in this carriage.

Don't you employ similar systems on some of your Amtrak stuff?

IS Pictured here at Ipswich, Also known as a DVT (Driving Van Trailer) the drivers Can drive through it Aslong as theres a Class 90 On the rear; Its so the Class 90 or 91 Doesn't have to run around the train at Dead end Stations like London Liverpool Street , Kings X , Euston,

Ryan,

The UIC coupler on the Mk3 DVT ("82") allows it to be coupled not just to the 90 & 91 but also to any TDM equipped loco (Time Division Multiplex), which includes 86/2, 87, 89 and it has also been used on occasions with 47/7 for Holyhead.

Don't forget also that a TDM equipped HST (the ugly ones with buffers and the big power rack in the old guards compartment) could run with the Mk3 as much as the Mk4.

I must admit that I never saw a 91 with one, but that's not to say it never happened- the Mk4 DVT for the 91 was fundamentally different, albeit similar looking.

One small thing, don't confuse them with the original class 82, (or AL2 (AC Loco 2) as we used to call them)

Title: Re: Railworks 3 - London - Brighton With Class 377 Electrostar COMING SOON!
Post by: Stuart2007 on April 18, 2012, 00:55:49
When comparing that to an "as built" HST with a nice Valenta and twin Napier turbos (or even a Mirlees MB190), it is very easy to call thes rebuilds ugly.

It is an interesting point that they only had to suffer the drawgear extensions due to the likelihood of train failures due to the incredibly poor desgin of the gec91.

Incidentally, it wasn't unknown for the 91 to fail and the train being driven solely on its diesel.

BTW did you know why they used the HST as a makeshift DVT? They had problems getting the Mk4 ready (NOT the dvt!) and they needed to use the Mk3/HST set... but the 91 was incapable of powering the ETH- thus they set the HST onto (if I remember correctly) 60% throttle to keep the generators running for the ETH.

Only problem is that the Valenta was never designed to run on low load at 60% RPM and the exhausts filled with carbon- and they caught fire.

The only way around it was to set the diesel to respond to throttle controls on the 91- as a result we were getting nearly 9,000 HP out of the set... On training trips down from Donny we could get up line speed in less half the normal time.

A broken down class 91? Surely not! (sarcasm).

I believe they're actually quite reliable now, but in the early days it was a wonder if one would make it from Kings Cross to Alexandra Palace (Bounds Green) without breakding down...

Ahh, how much more reliable the old 89 was. AND would pull a 15 coach rake on a wet, windy, cold day from standing start on an up incline... whereas the 91 needed to slipstream HSTs to get going...

The 89, incidentally, was one of the few locos that when light engine could race a 317 up the lower ECML from a standing start. Only an HST light would match it- and even then only just.

The DD AR train is nice, I also bought the DLC earlier this week. It does accelerate a bit too fast, but besides that she drives really nice. I do get a little bit lazy with the cruise control but driving without it on a keyboard isn't working that good.

Post by: danny on June 13, 2012, 14:19:32
Just found this on the RW facebook page... just thought I'd post it here incase you hadn't seen it..



On June 19th 2012, we are planning a major piece of software maintenance on Train Simulator 2012 ("TS2012"). This housekeeping process will bring an array of long-term benefits to the TS2012 software. The Cajon Pass and Oxford-Paddington routes will have significantly improved graphics.
 
The component files that make up TS2012 will be reorganized allowing us to continue improving the core software, core routes and the software’s efficiency. In addition, Service Pack 1 will lay the footings for prospective new features like Steam Workshop. Keep an eye on Facebook to find out what’s going on.
 
In summary the TS2012 folder structure on your PC’s hard drive will be rebuilt to give improved asset structures. Service Pack 1 is an essential part of a programme of updates to the core software and is the start of an ongoing process which will see a rollout of more improvements shortly.
 
IMPORTANT:
This is an essential update and will take some time to download and install. We recommend that you allow this process to run overnight or when you do not intend to be playing Train Simulator 2012. For full details and expected download times, read the FAQ below.
 
FAQ:
 
When will the update happen?
The update is planned to go live via Steam on 19 June 2012.
 
Will I have to pay for the update?
No, it is free of charge.
 
Will I need to download anything?
Yes. The next time you start Steam after 19 June 2012, Steam will automatically download the new file organization - replacing your existing set up.
 
Will my game settings stay as I left them before the install?
Yes - however we recommend that you take a note of your preferred settings before the install. Simply start Train Simulator 2012, click on the ‘Settings’ tab at the top of the game wrapper and make a note of your settings. Alternatively, you can press ‘Print Screen’ on your PC keyboard and ‘paste’ a screenshot into a suitable document like a Word document, then save it.
 
How big will the download be and how long will it take?
The download is approximately 4GB (compressed to around 2GB) and the time to download will vary depending on the speed of your internet link. On typical UK ASDL links, the beta test version took between 1 and 2 hours to download.
 
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/550570_10150870916523091_517584162_n.jpg)
 
Will I be able to play TS2012 while it is downloading?
No. You will need to wait until the download is complete before running TS2012.
 
Will I still have all my RailSimulator.com add-on content ("DLC")?
Yes. Your DLC locomotives and routes will still be available to drive.
 
What will happen to routes I have created or any non-RailSimulator.com add-ons I have installed?
All this content should be unaffected by Service Pack 1. However, if you have purchased third party products that directly update TS2012 files (which we strongly discourage), these products may not operate or may need to be re-installed.
 
How can I back up my game content before the update?
There are 2 locations where Steam stores the files depending on which version of windows you are running.
 
If you are running the 32 bit version the files will be located at:
Program files\Steam\Steamapps\common\railworks\content.
 
If you are running the 64 bit version the files will be located at:
Program files(x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\railworks\content.
 
Navigate to the appropriate directory and copy all of the files and sub directories to a suitable backup device or drive.
 
Is there anything I should be aware of?
This is a significant download.  For users who have bandwidth restrictions or limits (most mobile broadband packages have such limits), you should be aware excess charges may be applied by your ISP.  This might mean seeking out a WiFi or fixed link connection while the download is underway. (see Can I defer Service Pack 1)
 
Doesn't this sound like you are reinstalling the entire product?
We are reinstalling the content elements of TS2012 to allow us to begin a programme of updating the core content elements.  Unfortunately this means re-installing a large part of the product. However, this one-off download should mean that future updates can be done in more manageable chunks.
 
Can I defer the Service Pack 1?
Yes but we strongly recommend that you remain online and allow Train Simulator 2012 to update, otherwise you will not benefit from the upcoming updates to the software including future versions of our game. Only upgraded software will be supported in the future. If however you still wish to defer the update you will need to set Steam into offline mode before Tuesday.
 
What’s next?
Upgraded versions of Hagen Siegen, Bath Templecombe, Newcastle York and more exciting announcements! (timetable tbc).
 
Still need help?
 Contact support@railsimulator.com

I think you can open the hatches, I haven't fully explored the cab yet. Great passenger view, lets you look into the cockpit.

Pros: very fast. Great passenger view. Slick, streamlined design. A nice affordable price.

Cons: cockpit not very detailed. Low headroom in drivers view. No passenger view in other cars. No route that lets you go fast enough.

WOW, ive just been playing with RWD's Class 185 Its Defently the best free DMU or EMU i only have a few faults but im sure they will be gone in the full , Finished version

Faults

- Speed: I cant get it over 75mph (Its 100mph in real life)
- Livery: It looks all purple and the doors look red- In real life its purple and blue with pink doors
- Braking: It takes miles to stop even from 25Mph
-Head out view: its infront of the train



BEST POINTS

Cab: Looks Exactly like Real life
Model: The Model Itself Is Exacly like real life
Sounds:Sounds Exacly the same.

I Really recomend you get it!

You can get it if you have a membership at RWD.com along with other Brilliant Models. Or get Just the 185 for free of RWD's Failbook Facebook Page :)

Sounds like you had a good day then ;)

hmm... not much freight really down here in the south, you have the Southampton Container Terminals, saw my first Class 70s there

Not been there, but Eastleigh as well could be interesting...
Title: Re: Railworks 3
Post by: RYAN123 on August 30, 2012, 19:09:17
Eastleigh was on my mind... its just a long journey from Harwich to there :-\ it took just over 2 hours to Ashford
my Grandad takes me in the car to Rugby and Ashford On my own the furthest i can go is Peterborough / Stevenage Norwich, and Chelmsford apart from i Dont go Chelmsford at all really because all the trains there can be seen at Manningtree for half the time and quarter of the price
Title: Re: Railworks 3
Post by: The Ferry Man on August 30, 2012, 19:12:52
yeah I thought Eastleigh would be a bit far from you

South's pretty boring for freight though - practically all Pax services

Only ever seen one freight working from Dollands Moor (and that was on the same day I saw the 37s), didn't see what was hauling it.

No, this one is very different.

How many Wheels does it have??

Don't know, but it was the large number of wheels and the long length that they named it the Centipede.

The ones that come with the HSC route are the EMD F7 and GP7. I'm not sure what the difference is  :doh:

This loco is verrrry different than the GP7. She is similar to the F7 though. Just longer length, more wheels, and bigger windows. On Facebook, they joke about how it's the Deltic of the US. Heres a picture of the locomotive in real life:

TS13 is great, shiny new graphics, greater FPS, less lag, quickplay is wonderful and the editor still exists! ;D

Only problem (besides the start-up bug some have) is that many people's DLC content is missing. All the DLCs missing is everything other than RSC content (besides ICE 1), plus the RSC SD40-2 repaints and variants.

They were showing jimmy bland film on a train in Colchester???

Aside from that, was it really as much ludicrous, excessive, over the top, all special effect (flying Underground, self propelling "JCB" low loader)/ no story line (Hi I'm jim, bang bang you're dead... now to find moneypenny for more of a bang bang")... the end- as it looks?

Just one long damned product placement advert. How much do they pay you to sit through all that rubbish?

I would never put my beloved camera under a train!:P

But i went 3 hours (Each way) on a train yesterday to Peterborough and i was only there half an hour

But i went to see a train what you could almost say was 'Fit for a queen' :P

It was the Royal 67006 normally used to pull the royal train and it was the first time i saw this, and also my 6th 67:)

Im going back to Peterborough on Saturday for the full day to see if anything decent comes through:)

My Video Here

Well, it's an ipod nano, so it's very small, therefore I can put it in any small area to get interesting footage.

But RYAN, if you don't want to put your camera beneath a train, then you should use the free camera in RW4 to get run over, it's fun! ;D

I bet they do not have tested it and it's gonna be the same thing what we got with the Donner Pass: In career missions the trains can't even reach the summit because of too steep sections on the track...

And then we have to wait eight months for the fix, just like with the Donner Pass.

Title: Re: Railworks 4
Post by: Rbsanford on April 12, 2013, 20:20:23
Yes, it's AMAZING!  ;D ;D My new favorite route! :2thumbs:

From Shelby to Glacier Park it's rolling hills and farmlands (with a penguin in Cut Bank :doh: ), and you can see the mountains from miles away! And since it's completely flat and straight in that stretch, speed limits reach as high as 80 mph. The detail on the route is fantastic, but I haven't covered all of it yet. I'll post pictures later.

The only downsides: the BN[SF] SD40-2s are a separate DLC, the horn of the ES44DC is really quiet (sounds like a flute quartet blowing into a microphone), couplers are absent, textures for platform lights are missing, and a lot of the landscape is grey (but I think that's just my graphical settings).
Title: Re: Railworks 4
Post by: Ballast on April 13, 2013, 07:49:07
I can't wait for some pictures RB! Not much on youtube about it unfortunately but I guess not many people have covered the 150 mi yet  :P

Edit: ah, what the heck.. I've bought the twin pack with the SD-40  :doh:
Title: Re: Railworks 4
Post by: Rbsanford on April 15, 2013, 03:30:11
Get ready for my illustrated adventure on the Marias Pass, from Shelby to Whitefish! ;D

(http://oi50.tinypic.com/35itape.jpg)
Passing the Lewis and Clark Memorial/Monument. Fun fact, the pass is named after the Marias River that runs alongside it, which Meriweather Lewis named after his sister Maria.

(http://oi49.tinypic.com/rrnuwg.jpg)
Today's train is four ES44DCs hauling 120 coal hoppers. Four of these beasts is a bit overkill, I've seen two SD38-2s haul heavier loads with no problems.

(http://oi47.tinypic.com/15dazxg.jpg)
Crossing the bridge into Glacier National Park. Eighty mile per hour speed limits are long gone.

(http://oi49.tinypic.com/2b61jr.jpg)
Going over the Glacier National Park gateway.

(http://oi49.tinypic.com/23w16h3.jpg)
The mountains form a perfect backdrop during the transition from prairie to boreal.

(http://oi48.tinypic.com/2lx9qhy.jpg)
Passing by a truck stop featuring the new blue semi trucks. Colors also come in red, and there are also new smaller trucks with faux Coca-Cola brand markings.

(http://oi47.tinypic.com/35db58n.jpg)
Things get chunky as I wind around mountain curves. This one is near Blackfoot, and is very sharp and steep with a 1.8% grade.

(http://oi45.tinypic.com/scs13r.jpg)
Single track railroading at it's best!

(http://oi49.tinypic.com/120jo2c.jpg)
Passing the Izaak Walton inn in Essex. That locomotive to the right of the hotel is a GN F45, #441. After she was pulled from service she was gutted, reupholstered, and was put into a different line of service as a [very expensive] hotel room.

(http://oi47.tinypic.com/68wl6w.jpg)
RSC has a keen eye for detail. Scattered radio towers provide the perfect atmosphere. Every once in a while there is even a wheel slippage detector.

(http://oi47.tinypic.com/28svdli.jpg)
There are even new tunnels! As you can see, the interiors are nondescript concrete, and the arches contain cables for added detail.

(http://oi45.tinypic.com/2m6tw1l.jpg)
More scenery than the Donner!

From this angle you can see the river, which now has green at the bottom to simulate shallowness and algae.

Great pictures RB! I am also very pleased with the Marias Pass, it has just so much detail and is also very versatile with the changing landscape.

Are those pictures orginal or did you added some saturation with photoshop? They look so colorful, the orange is just so orange  :P I see what you mean with the landscape being grey. Are your drivers up to date?

I haven't been though that tunnel yet, but then again.. I also have no clue where I did have been as I am not familiar with the area  :doh:

No, these are the actual raw pictures. I think it might be my game settings. I'll mess around with them later today.

And nice model! ;D I've always had my eye on that SD40, as well as the Maersk container ship. And do you also have the Super Chief cars? Lego made some "aluminum" rolling stock for the F7 that's really nice:

Set 1: http://brickset.com/detail/?Set=10025-1
Set 2: http://brickset.com/detail/?Set=10022-1
F7: http://brickset.com/detail/?Set=10020-1

I wish Lego made more train models. Like Big Boy or an F40PH or something like that.
Title: Re: Railworks 4
Post by: Ballast on April 15, 2013, 18:54:31
Yep, I have 3 cars for the F7, 2x the 10022 as passenger car and post car and a 10025 as a diner car with the round shaped back. The GP38 hauls 1 double stack car. None of my trains are motorized though, they are just eye candy. I would like to have another SD40 but then in UP livery.

My SD40 also hauls an bathtub condola in CN livery  :)

(http://imageshack.us/a/img708/7605/fotosu.jpg)

I also wish lego made more models like this or the Emerald Night for AFOLS and not those city trains for childeren  ;)

Eye candy models are best. :thumbs: I have the London Tower Bridge, the Burj Kalifa, Rockefeller Center, the Farnsworth House, the Robie House, and Villa Savoye, but I've had many more in the past.

And one thing irks me about the Maersk SD40: since when have US locomotives been used in Europe, assuming Maersk liveried locomotives are only found in the Netherlands.

And nice CN gondola.  ;D

The class 66 that hauls most freight on the UK rails is an EMD stuffed into a BR-type carbody.
The class 70 is a GE  PowerHaul. Both locos are used extensively on the continent as well.

So I'm making a route on TS13, and I'm having some trouble making a siding. I know how to make a manual switch, but I'm having some trouble connecting the siding track to the mainline. I know I have to tick off "Snap to track" and "Manual Switching" in the lower-left fly-out menu, but I can't get the siding to connect when laying track from the end of the siding onto the line. Can anyone help? I brought this same thing up on the Steam TS13 forum but nobody was able to help.

Title: Re: Railworks 4
Post by: Rbsanford on June 21, 2013, 18:40:42
Ok, I found out how to do it with RSCs video tutorials. You have to angle the siding towards the mainline and lay down a bit of track, then the next section of track, the section that will connect to the mainline, has to be laid as a curve angling away from the mainline. It's a bit hard to explain, here's the video:

http://www.railsimulator.com/rstv.php?Ref=15

It's a little tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it it's very easy.

I know right! 30 euro for DLC is just way too much. I would like to have a few routes that I am interested in such as the Berlin - Wittenberg one, but ofcourse I'd also have to buy a DB EMU adding another 15 euro to get the full experience  :doh:

I just bought the Pacific Surfliner L.A. - San Diego route which is a flash sale for the next 8 hours with 82% discount for 5,39 euro, normally it's 29,99 euro.

Now thát's a bargain  ;D

Edit: Also bought the the railworks bundle with 82% off with comes with 4 routes. I already had 1 of them, so basicly I bought 3 new routes for 7,50 euro. How is that even possible?  :doh:

So in the end, I got 4 new routes for 13,00 euro... Gotta love steam sales  ;D
