Master Key Simulations

Do we know who they are yet?

Cheers Mike, I could have googled it but I like to exercise my train sim mates knowledge!

I was hoping to earn spotter points for answering this one, but I got ninja'd by Mike . I use 458/5s regularly, there's a mix of different windows on the carriages depending whether they came from a 460 or a 458/4. I use the ECML quite often too, and could see them in various stages of conversion going past Doncaster. Shame that they had to remove the pointy nosecones...

Any pics? Sorry you missed out on scoring points!

I can appreciate the excitement Ross, but it is probably best to hold off with such bold statements until the release of the product- as you've always said, you can't judge a product until its out.

sorry Jordi but these trains were excellent and the devs have hit this right on the head. As usual when another Certain Developer (whom shall remain nameless as i am not prmoting there work in another devs threads) appear even when its just a picture the usual crowd appear saying it is the next best thing since slice bread.

So yes i am excited for this and cant wait and i will quite rightly praise the developrs just like that certain developers crowd always does.

Sadly i will not start spammming this thread with the silly shut up and take my money memes

No, you're just spamming this thread praising the developer who hasn't even released a dlc and how many times do you have to say "day one purchase for me" that's just as bad as "take my money"

That developer has years of back catalogue to show for themselves, hence why they can show a picture and people automatically know the SOUNDS are going to be good. That developer has worked years to earn that reputation. Why are you even mentioning them in this thread to begin with if you don't want to promote their work in another devs thread?

Because the very minute a new route or train is announced in here that dtg are making. The usual "I hope ## do a sound pack for this" "the cab looks bad I hope ## do a enhancement pack for this train"

So it's all ok for ## to be mentioned ans spammed in every thread a usual

[rosschris10]

Do we know who they are yet?

I have heard rumours of who is behind this great company of developers and same names keep appearing however i wouldn't find it right for me or anyone to reveal them. That is down to the individuals

All I will say is if the rumours are true this is one hell of a team of developers that will finally enhance this sim to its full potential finally

[gptech]

Just an observation....

the developer who hasn't even released a dlc

Do we know who they are yet?

For all we know, the guys/girls making up Master Key Simulations may have a huge back catalogue of stuff we already use. OK, we don't recognise the name and the proof of the pudding will come after we've tasted the dessert but everybody starts off as having never released anything.

As Master Key Simulations have not released any DLC yet how rossschris can say

THEse guys (are) going to Be the best 3rd party developers in this community by far that train looks and sounds absolutely amazing!!!

when we have seen a picture of the inside of a 460 emu cab and an outside view.?
Ignoring what you see outside the window inside I saw the brake needle move to step 1 and back, I heard the AWS and the horn sounded like a Class 47?
Although the lead coach was a power car I did not hear any motor sounds or any rail joint sounds.

We have seen quite a few models appear in this sim which look great from the outside but the physics and sounds were not up to a good standard.

I will need to see more than just a cab ride with to warrant buying an emu that only ran over the 28 miles or so non stop to and from Gatwick.

Peter

Very good point that mind i know we have the route thats suitable but its not going to be high on the list for variety this one

[Irishrailguy]

an emu that only ran over the 28 miles or so non stop to and from Gatwick.

If I remember correctly they ran over the entire BML in the latter years of their service?

Although the lead coach was a power car I did not hear any motor sounds or any rail joint sounds.

Power bogies on the driving coaches for the 460 are located at the cab end, but the motors themselves are located at the rear of the coach, so I'd imagine that the cab would be rather quiet as opposed to the rear seating compartment. However even at that it's probably worth noting that the motors were quite quiet compared to other EMUs (I've traveled on 458s and found the motor coaches to be almost silent aside from ambient running noises).

I was referring to the "certain developer" that rosschris was talking about, when I said "SOUNDS" that was meant to be a hint to who I figured he was referring to.

Locked pending further action.

Do not necessarily expect action tonight since I need to consider my actions and responses and not act in the heat of the moment.
