Virtual New Haven RR, a WIP project for RW

[OpenRailer90]

I'm pretty unsure on how to buy this...the site is in Euros. How do you guys acquire it

Just place your order using Paypal and your credit card. They will change it to dollars at the current exchange rate. If you don't have a Paypal account you can Google (paypal) and set up an account.

Hello all,

We've got a patch announcement.

After seemingly endless times of looking in the wrong files, I think I have found the culprit for the missing exterior sound files. I've assembled a small patch file in RWP format for those that would like to give it a try right away -- a "proper" patch (same content but self-installing) is coming shortly for those who don't like the package manager.

You can download the patch rwp here: http://vnhrr.golden-age-rails.com/files ... patch1.rwp

Please let me know if there are other or new issues after installing the patch.

Cheers
Michael

Many thanks.

...and neither apparently do Michael or Bob (apologies to Neil Young & Crazy Horse)

If you have not already, check out the blog for some interesting wip screenies of the next exciting installment of the VNHRR.

Which sounds were reported missing, Michael? I've sometimes experienced intermittent sounds, such as bridge rumbles or crossing gates that sound the first time they're crossed in a scenario, but not subsequent times.

I've installed the patch, but would like to know what to look for ... uh, listen for ... uh, listen not for ... someone get me out of this!

Hi,

That patch that I think you are referring to was for the missing sounds of the GP9. There haven't been any changes to the release version of the route since we last updated it in January.

At least that's what I know. Did anybody publish an "unofficial" patch since then to address other sound issues (that I'm also not aware of)? I'm a bit confused now.

Cheers
Michael

I be lovin this route.

Hello,

... drumroll please ... Cedar Hill Yard is done! OK, when I say "done", I mean that all the tracks have been placed, all 150 miles of them. Nothing more, but certainly nothing less. What a mind-boggling place this is, so many tracks, switches, yards!

I've posted a few screenshots and a bit more text on our blog:

Here's a preview:

[ozinoz]

the big test will be frame rate etc when its got some cars in it. What a sight it must have been in the steam days.

for the update...

[billy]

Excellent work Michael !!!!
Can't wait !!

As far as yards full of cars, I've not had that much of a problem, slight drop with medium high end machine with lots of memory.
I have the present route full of cars end to end any it does reasonably well.

[ozinoz]

I am having palpatations just thinking about planning a drive / scenerio through that - what a place...

[GreatNortherner]

We too have our worries if a scenario with Cedar Hill full of cars, and a few live AI too, might not be too much for the sim. You can fit a hundred 100-car trains in that yard and still have some empty tracks... We'll just have to see how it behaves and what we can possibly do with strategic placement of static "dummy cars"... maybe even resurrect the MSTS trick of placing a few strings of low poly cars as standard scenery objects in the route editor.

Cheers
Michael
