Atomic Systems

yay, its finally coming out this Friday, I hope to god Steam doesn't mess up like the 4F release and end up releasing it the following monday >.<

Do you drive manual or the auto controls? For manual its about balancing really the regulator and reverser settings, also if you get a good run up before hitting the sloop it can help a fair bit. I didn't really get below 23mph even on the steeper gradients. Generally you can manage a 1in50 at 100% ...

I'd like to drop in my comment on the subject of acceptable amounts, I believe entirely that it depends down upon the user of Railworks. Some users will come into Railworks just to play with trains and routes while others will want a broader experience and quite abit more serious abit it. Railworks ...

Ah so thats what its all about, nice to know the engineering behind the locomotive in alittle more detail. I hoping digital traction are close to there light pacific release as this Q1 would really go lovely alongside the southern varients and event he BR green Tangmere pacific to. Also I would like...

I'm not 100% sure since I'm not a steam loco buff, but from the interaction with the game, I believe its a safety valve exshaust of sorts, it so far has trigger for me when the high pitched steam sound cuts in, which is normally when my boiler PSI is getting rather high which I assume is the safety ...

Since we really do not have enough Q1s in here :

Here is a few screenshots from me to really get the flavour of this wonderful locomotive: http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/5334/q1steam4.jpg http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/3964/q1steam3.jpg http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/8507/q1steam2.jpg http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/6880/q1steam.jpg The...

Congrats on a job done Karma, must be a load off your shoulders to finally complete this locomotive. Going back through the posts you can really see the effort put in, also have to commend the input of the community and how they have provided you with the nessessary plans, photos and associated info...

Awww, stop teasing us Bob, tis not fair. Nice screenshots though.

On a unrelated note to the Q1, or maybe it is related ;). Could you be so kind as to give us a run down of what software packages you use karma to create the model and textures? I'm interested in started to learn from scratch and it would be interesting to see what you use and the costs entailed and...

Ah, thats some nice information about its loads, its surpising when you look at a Q1 then look at its loads as you mentioned, that its nearly comparably in power to a 9F on load capacity, when I look at the locomotive you think "hm, its abit odd, does she really have alot of power?" then you read wh...

Ah thats good the bugs have been noticed, no worries if its not ready, better its all working out fine than finding something nasty and have to repair it then re upload files and such. On another note, I'm not super familar with the Q1, I know it was a freight steam locomotive and used heavily in th...

Not trying to pester, just excited naturally, can we expect this by the weekend? Be nice for a weekend break and some fun, we got abit of a quiet period when it comes to steam locomotive releases at the moment.

Btw, I haven't noticed or rather haven't delved to deep I suppose, but is this a payware or freeware release? I don't mind either, the model and texturing is at payware standard so I thought it might be.

Looking forward to this release, it is quite the ugly duckling of the railway, but you love it so because of it, great job on this.
