U.K. trainsim DMUs

[thassos]

I'm having trouble with the Metro Cammells. Any activity I make with a MetCam set just freezes as soon as I hover the cursor over it in the "Drive a Train" index.
Only way I have got round it is to use the .ace files with another DMU and change the line in the .eng file to foolit into thinking it's a MetCam.
Superb looking model.

John, would you have drawings for the 207 class?

Also, thanks to all involved with supplying the DMUS, they are fantastic and fill a big gap in MSTS downloads

David

Yep

Thanks from me to all those who're involved in making the models.

It's a bit awkward if a second person asks for plans which I've already sent. People often don't want their projects known before they've started.

If there's any duplication, it's no one's fault as they probably don't know of one anothers plans. Thought I'd better post this after talk of duplication this week.

If anyone's interested, plans not sent to anyone by myself are:

Class 105 (available for some time)

Class 107

Class 115

Class 118

Class 119

Class 120 (I believe Jon Bilton had a screenshot of one in his sig not long ago and so one maybe 'knocking about')

Class 123

Class 124 (Tim Court)

Class 126

Class 127

Classes 201 - 206 (Class 207 sent today )

Unclassed:

Derby Lightweight (Ian J has posted screenshots of one under construction)

Early Swindon 3-Car Cross-country units for WR, later ScR.

Blue Pullman (Midland) (Available)

Blue Pullman (Western)

All BR Railbuses including the very early BUT units built in the early 50's and used in the North London area.

Further progress, new bogie model and texture to be used umder the Park Royal.

Looks sweet, very realistic. Well done Simon

[johndibben]

Took the class 104 for a trip down the Cambrian tonight.

Very good model

The class 103 looks as if it will be of the same quality

[salopiangrowler]

Simon, can i repuest a screen shot of you Blackpool white stripped 104 passing on the NWE near blackpool. Ive tried but my computers not letting me view them not even route riters letting me do screenies. It's for matt so he can pload me Blackpool activity using your 104.

[ThamesClyde]

Salopian, sorry to say but I don't have NWE, have you tried Jimmylad as I think he may have it.

I'm having trouble with the Metro Cammells. Any activity I make with a MetCam set just freezes as soon as I hover the cursor over it in the "Drive a Train" index.

I had exactly the same problem but having studied the eng files I think I have the solution. Towards the end of the 2 eng files there are 2 close brackets (highlighted in red below)

Vigilance ( 0 1 0 )
Headlights ( 0 0.25 1 0 )
))

comment( fuel_level )
EngineVariables ( 5300 )
Sound ( "dmucab.sms" )
Name ( "Metro Cammel DMU_green " )

I suspected the effect of these two brackets was to cause MSTS to believe that the file ended there so I took out one of the brackets and then the Metcam loaded perfectly. You have to change both the A and C eng files.
Maybe an eng file expert could confirm that my thinking is correct.

Could you please check this and if it works please mail them over to Peter Harvey on my behalf (as i made these eng files with better physics) so he can do a patch for them. His email addy is on the readmes.

Thanks

Hi

I was wondering if any of the DMU drawings

were still available please


Paul Norburn

[derbyclass116]

r.e the dmus


the ones i would like to see are

DERBY class 116 green/blue as they are from cardiff (where i live)
derby class 125 with Orange Star Codes
decent 101 like the cambrian one
derby 127 4 car dmu and a 115


thats about it

i'm looking at the possibility of creating a route for south wales valleys set in 1977

[fairlie]

A 127 of sorts (3 car, primarily a kitbash of the freeware 117 but with edited physics and no gears) will be included within the MRB donationware pack, and hopefully a model of 101692 too

I have recently downloaded Tim Courts Green and blue TP DMUs. They are very good but an upgrade would be great Tim, if you can find the time. (The green version seems a little on the brown side or am I going colour blind?) I have also downloaded the Brunswick Green 110 which is very good. These models would be especially useful for operation through Doncaster and York if ever these areas get covered in a route.

......... These models would be especially useful for operation through Doncaster and York if ever these areas get covered in a route.

Highly unlikely..........well in MSTS that is.

On its way, got the DMC Started off, still a ways to go yet, this was my first train model for MSTS (Still can't believe I chose a hard one!)
