That's OK, I am human too.

Doesn't mean it can't be discussed here, as well, I hope. As I usually do when a new DLC intrigues me, I took a peek at the users' manual http://cdn3.steampowered.com/Manuals/22 ... 1378982332 . Recent loco packs have included three scenarios, one of which is a training-wheels level "tutorial", but this one comes with four freight operations scenarios, all of which involve some shunting. One of the scenarios actually requires the use of a turntable! That's the first time I can remember a DLC pack scenario that even mentioned a turntable.

There are also a good number of functional cab controls, which should become truly visible and usable with the adjustable cab camera promised for TS2014.

Looks like my TS installation is about to become fatter and my wallet thinner.

I didnt lock the thread did I?

Yeah... I'm afraid I can't bring myself around to get this. Hearing a high-nose with a turbo is very psychologically awkward and jarring to me. Every high-nose I encountered as a kid had the sound of the roots blower. So that's imprinted on me.

I know it's the dumbest reason ever, but I can't help it. It's too jarring.

But kudos to RSC for making it. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Erm... DTM and I made them.

Finally! Off to the store I go. Long live the Norfolk and Western. Well at least on my route,where it will never be later than 1983.......

instead of working on new stuff, why aren't you finishing the sounds for DD40XX. Mannu says he's waiting for you to finish sounds before he can release it again.

I've been working on the DDA40X in conjunction with the SD45 sounds. Unfortunately, I hit a limit with the Blueprint Editor on the amount of sounds I can have (think SD45 doubled) so I couldn't progress further.
However, with TS14, and me being a beta tester, I have access to the new BPE2 which no longer has limits, so I have been working on it.
Also, the speeder is for a College finals project, which is due next week. I decided to make it a project to eventually make it into TS14 as well. College comes first, this stuff is much lower on the priority list unfortunately.
