Railworks America

Does anyone know if there is a way of changing the camera physics on the derailment camera so it doesn't make you sick when you put one on the ground? I remember back in the day with MSTS someone wrote new code allowing you to modify the camera numbers.

I don't know about hacking but when you set up rolling stock blueprints, there is an option for the game to end on a crash. (Giving you the rotating camera)

Where in the wagon blueprint, does it give the option to end the game on a crash?

when you crash you can alwayse press 8 and it will give you the world camera, although the game still ends after about 10-15 seconds. i really would like that option to go away, because sometimes you would like to just see a crash now and then, and sometimes to figure out how it happened.

A couple of times over the last couple of years I had a major derailment while playing RailWorks, and by "fluke" or "glitch", get this, the scenario never ended, I never had any game-over big-ugly-gray-text-box filling the screen message, no spinning vertigo camera view, and I still had full access to all of the camera views.

It was really neat to be able to take my time to see the aftermath of a derailment and from all cameras views I wanted.
When I was ready to quit, I simply pressed Esc key and Quit.

I've also seen a couple of videos on YouTube that show the same, a train-derailment in RailWorks, but without the "Game Over" message, and still being able to switch to all different camera views.

I think this would be a nice optional feature to have, to add in the Option a setting to turn-off the "Game Over" message on a derailment, and to still have access to all cameras.

Try moving the Assets\Kuju\RailSimulatorCore\Cameras\DerailmentCamera001.bin to your desk top or something and see if you still get the vertigo camera after a crash.

I tried this. It stopped the spinning camera after the crash but I still couldn't change the camera view at the end and the scenario still terminated after timeout.

This was a geat suggestion and I will leave the DerailmentCamera001.bin disabled in my simulator from now on.

Cool. Thanks for the tip.
I just simply renamed that file and added a ".OLD" extension on it.

Still, it would be nice to still have access to all camera views after a derailment and no time-out.
It's strange that it's happened that way for me a couple of times, but, it seems to be a rare and random thing when it happens.

it could be possible with RWTools to go into the files and change the timer to something like a minute or two after the derailment?

This is the entire derailment camera bin text. There doesn't seem to be anything to change. It must be hardwired into the sim.

FOUND IT! (Man I'm on a roll )

Open the Locomotive .bin file of choice.

Search for this:
<ShowDerailment d:type="cDeltaString">eFalse</ShowDerailment>
Set "eFalse" to "eTrue".

It stops the derailment camera, as well as the derailment warning and instead, it just shows a small message at the top saying you derailed (much like a "Service Approaching" message)

Thanks a ton to Trainguy76 for showing me where to look.

woohoo, i am going to change that now!

What program are you using to open the .bin files?

You can either use RW_Tools to do it or drag and drop the bin files on serz.exe. That will convert them into xml files that you can edit with notepad.

Ok, I will do this. Thank you
