Fag Packet HST Add-on from RS.com

Only £2.99? *Breaks out debit card*

I notice on twitter that it will cost only 2.99 pounds.

£2.99? my that is good pricing

Well technically it's only a Reskin as per the recent NSE Class 47 reskins. So you're paying for a reskin and a 'Career' Scenario(s) (if it's the same deal as the 47's), so yes £2.99 is very reasonable for this product.

*I know there were a couple of tweaks / custom sounds to the 47, so not technically a just a reskin (To keep RSDerek and RSAdam happy )

Edited because of an edit.

[AndyM77]

Yup, see my edit

And it used the Oovee shape file instead of the default one too.

[RSderek]

There are new sounds on the HST pack, and there are a few model changes, the tga coach and hi res characters.

If you like HST's then I think you will like this too. But if not, oh well I did my best.

the tga coach

You possibly meant TGS coach? Although they already are in all of the 'default' HSTs save the IC Swallow one...

[RSderek]

i did mean tgs, not a texture file format.

And one day when I am feeling generous with my time I will do the ICS version.

LOL! too much modelling recently I think

Sounds like a nice addition Derek, most probable that I pick this up (as I did the class 47NSE)

The other thing Id like fixed is the speedo in the FGW version. If we could have a digital readout (which would be easier to see than the needle) I could turn of the HUD and just use the driver aide. The clock fixed in the BR one would be nice, but I think thats being overly pedantic.

OTOH, it has to be said that its still an excellent model, and I love it to bits. Has anyone noticed they even had a sticker on the glass inside the cab to show when the certification runs out? Kuju did some amazing work on this one.

The digital readout is not a speedo, its related to signals and ATP as far as I'm aware.

Yeah,

IIRC the display shows the maximum speed permitted for a given aspect or line section. If the driver goes above and beyond the ATP kicks in and brings him/her to a stop!

that preview picture on the railworks launcher looks amazing!!!!

[RSderek]

And it's not even a render, its an ingame shot, with a white box surrounding the loco...

Hi Gents, yes I'm afraid the 'Fag Packet' HST will now be released on Monday. Sorry for this delay, I hope you will find that it was worth the wait!

Cheers
