There will be a wealth of freeware (I have already stated that I will be giving the 37 and the 101dmu away at no charge. As I say Derek, thats great to hear. One thing that has just occurred to me, the 101 has a mechanical transmission I think. Does RS simulate gearboxes and support changing gear m...

Basically, there is some danger in people creating a route using content which is not available in the other version. However, this can be fought by publishing a complete list of all the scenery and other items that are in the Cajun and the Newcastle route. Then people just need to remember that li...

Very popular

And shouldn't we have at least 15 activities per route by now? There is little point in authoring scenarios until the serious design flaws in relation to operations are fully rectified, since authoring realistic scenarios is literally impossible, and even authoring superficially pleasing scenarios ...

*smacks head* Huh? Rail Simulator only came out a few months ago and now we're having addons from the official maker already? Gosh, this reminds me of "he who shall not be named" products where the only answer seems to be releasing as many products as possible. Reminds me also of The SIms - addon a...

And getting oral permission is also somewhere at the bottom of the wish list for KRS 2 or 3. Except, it is already sort of there - that's what SHIFT+TAB is about, isn't it? Of course, the documentation doesn't give any information whatsoever on how this system works, so it is all rather bizarre and...

Smokesignal? Carrier pigeon? E-mail...?

Hi, 4.04 Asset Authoring Guidelines.pdf Section 5.4 Station name boards Oops, I must have missed that. I shall have to take a look. It was clear that at the time of authering we would not get code time to make names dynamic so the art team found a simple solution. It is a pity that dynamic names di...

Someting when wrong when I exported it... :P http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd82/Mikkle_03/3-2.jpg http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd82/Mikkle_03/2-2.jpg http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd82/Mikkle_03/1-6.jpg Cheers, Mike An industrial shunting engine? :-D I shall await the myriad reskins...

The difficulty for the various publishers of Rail Simulator (it is a bit odd that the expansion pack is published by a different company than the main product) is that computer games prices are unrealistically deflated for all but the most superficial of games. The true cost of a high-quality, in-de...

Auto versus controlled. In the prototype, there are signals which protect switches and are operated by a human nearby (or not so nearby, but in direct control). Then there are signals which just protect another block without switches, and are controlled by a stupid box at the base of the signal. In...

What exactly is described in the manuals?

I have been looking into creating my own textures for station signs this evening, and to my surprise, I discovered that most station name signs (all but Paddington, actually) are not static textures at all, but some kind of dynamic texture. In the ...\Assets\Kuju\RailSimulator\Stations\Textures fold...

And now the swings and Climbing Frames http://www.atomic-album.com/showPic.php/22696/ClimbingFrameandSwings.jpg Now all I need to do is get the old ToAce so i can use my rectangular texture files and try them in the sim. Don't know how to get poly counts in 3d Canvas but the climbing frames are goi...

Check your LODs, and set your scenery detail to 10. That might not be the problem, but it's worth eliminating.
