Also would be nice for 'Not In Service, Special, Shuttle.

Whoa thats a lot of destinations will RW be able to handle that many.

And when is that little beauty getting released from the RW workshop cause it looks sooo good

[Kariban]

You can have as many destinations as characters, so that's 52 plus special characters already. They're set as part of the number on this model. I am most definitely adding "Sorry" what happens with the really long names? do they go onto two lines, or get squashed up, or what?

Those various "Direct" and "Via" entries can all be compressed, I don't think anyone's really going to care if there's only one entry each. That makes 57, which should probably be manageable - if needing a reference list when you're setting scenarios up :p

I'm trying to get this out the door fast because I have other things I really ought to be doing, but little things keep cropping up.

[nukem]

All the destinations are single lines, the smaller words such as "Direct" is in bolder text to make them fill the destination window. The longer destinations such as West Croydon or Basingstoke are a finer text to allow it all to fit in the window on one line and some of the longer destinations are shortened which I've listed below.

Chessington Sth.
Clapham Jct.
Effingham Jct.
Windsor & Eton R

All the other blinds are displayed as listed.

Can I just ask will you be changing the colour of the blinds from black lettering and White background to White lettering and a blue back ground or is that not possible?

[Kariban]

Done some time ago... just haven't done many destinations yet.

Not quite sure how to fit "Portsmouth Harbour" or worse "Windsor and Eton Riverside" in there yet without making each letter vertical lines...

Eh well now I see your post about the long ones, I guess that can be "Portsmouth Hbr" or something.

Hi Simon, is all well?

[Kariban]

Well, ish, Max & I have yet to come to an agreement about the proper export of models some of my detailing parts are getting lighter the darker the daylight is. But I guess you want some pics.




Need to get to grips with the peculiar bumpmap.

[martin222002]

Looking excellent Simon!

[nukem]

Those shots look fantastic but one thing I will say is with the headlights, you will only have one marker light on at a time with a headlight, so if the drivers side headlight is swtiched on the non driving side marker will be lit which is the Night setting and If the non drivers side headlight is lit the drivers side marker will be lit, which is the day setting.

Can't do anything about that, that's an inherent part of the model ( and thus the lightglow ).

[Kariban]

There are now 54 destination blind entries... there's room for another 26 or so but I really don't know if I can add another 20 "via xxx 12" entries and the Portsmouth intermediates without going insane. Mebbe a via-Something from the Portsmouth route if anyone's got suggestions.

Thankfully I partly automated producing them, or if someone complained I'd be likely to try & find their house and have words



Can you tell I'm getting a bit sick of this thing?

[msey0002]

Fantastic, Simon, amazing effort and commitment
