Virtual New Haven RR, a WIP project for RW

[BlackJack]

how I can take part in beta test? I've bought the route.

Take a look at the night shot with stars recently added to the VNHRR blog. Unless I'm mistaken, this is the first time stars have made their appearance in this simulator. It's, well, ... stellar!

... Now I just need to get Mike to finish off a New Haven Connie proto or not ...

I'll take a little break from doing the FEF-3 (it'll do me good ... all the plumbing is doing my head in) and see what I can come up with.

Your name will be spoken in awe the length and breadth of the land

The anticipation for this route is palpable. I come into work 10 mins early (just after 7.00) to log in in anticipation, only to be denied for another day The teasing is cruel I'm getting serious - no Santa treats if this carries on much longer

I think I saw that TandD, as hinted on their FB page, may be the distributors for VNHRR V1.0. That should be a good sign that beta testing may be near completion.

Hi,

A quick update: testing has progressed well so far, the "bug detection rate" has fallen remarkably over the last few days. There are eight standard, a few free roams and one quick drive scenario to test, besides all the scenery changes and improvements. Unless something unexpected happens the release should be really soon now.

The route will be available at Trains and Drivers. Everybody who purchased the 0.9 pre-release will receive the download links to the update to 1.0 by email from us.

Cheers,
Michael

Great news...

Personally, I think this is a great business model and I for one am already clamoring for the next expansion. Create a quality detailed route in sections, with enough scope to enjoy in the first section that people are lining up waiting to get their hands on the next part and then the part after that. Much of the hard work has been done, with buildings and rolling stock etc.

Thanks guys - just goes to show what can be done by "the little guy"

so much...

Will you sell the route later via Steam? I think route will be more intresting that horsehoe curve at the same historic period (more objects, better textures etc.)

Can you tell I am excited

What font did you use? Was that the Atlantic from Railfonts? What is the colour (do you have an approximate PMS code?) I want to have a bash at Dicks light mikados over the Xmas break if I can :)

again...

Thanks Grant

The font on the tender is taken straight from the photo (and then tidied up in photoshop). The numbers are actually a UP font that I've used before. I played about with the colour until it looked in-game like the colour in the photo, but not quite as bright:

R: 162
G: 122
B: 23

Don't be surprised if that colour looks strange in Photoshop. Remember that the colour in the texture file has to be darkened quite a lot, because the game does some post-processing that makes it look brighter.
