Heh heh, nice find.

Explain?

er.... The clue is in the bits in BOLD in the quoted text from their web site...... In case you hadn't seen it the Cover has a picture of a class 71 on it....... Search for it on the Gameplay web site.

P.S. Joke aside: Play.com were advertising it at Â£14.99

Some of my approaches in FS2002 are closer to the Class 71 than the BAe146. Especially in an ATR42.

I wonder what would happen if you did drop a 71 from that kind of height.

I bet the daily mail would twist it into some anti-rail safety story.

I can see it now: "RAIL SAFETY CHAOS: TRAIN FALLS FROM 30,000 FEET"

REALLY............I don't find this funny at all.....you are showing a alert terrorist how to destroy Thamesmead using only a Class 71 and Â£20 quids worth of software.........

When I bought an MSTS add-on from Amazon, they wanted me to buy Trainz with it

ROFL

Joking aside, the route sounds interesting - has anyone got any gen about it?
Cheers

Yeah, it runs from 30,000 feet above Thamesmead down into Thamesmead at a gradient of 1 in 1.

Excellent top line speed.

Good frame rates.

Limited shunting in the activities though.

All rolling stock has the same traction charactaristic, though.

Max acceleration: 9.81m/s/s
Min acceleration 9.81m/s/s

And scope for activities in the "up" direction is a bit limited.

It's one of those peculiar lines where "up" is away from London, too....

arabiandisco · Post by **arabiandisco** » Thu Nov 25, 2004 10:18 pm

oh, and 1 in 1 would be at 45 degrees wouldn't it?

that gradient is more like 1 in 0...

I never was much of a route builder.

arabiandisco · Post by **arabiandisco** » Thu Nov 25, 2004 10:20 pm

got carried away....

Now now, I'll have the power to ban you soon, so watch yer lip.

Micksasse - go down the forums a way to the commercial ones and check out the Making Tracks forum, from there there is a link to their web site where new discussion forums will soon be open.
