Truely amazing BUT can the doors and windows be seen as opened from the outside like DTM's models?

yeah i'll figure it out

[Heavy Chevy]

Looking super nice sir. Can't wait to add this to the stable.

Great! but I have a remark... It will have rain effect also? I guess so... then look the wipers, if possible yet, they are small and placed to much up and/or to the right, therefore cleaning out of (the supposedly correct) raindrops cleaning area ;)

rain fx I have to learn how to do yet. it may or may not be on the first release. just about everything else will be on the first release. this week I will be learning how to put in digital speedometer. the pressure needles are easy and I will finish them up soon. I am also going to draw up a new keyboard input mapper for the outside doors windows, accessory lights etc..

these units will be officially licensed as well.

OK so everything is just about where I want it for these units. everything works like its supposed to. Theres a tiny bug when you move the sunscreen over, it shuts off the digital speedometer, but moving it back turns it back on. I know the issue and it should be resolved when I re-export the sunscreen animation. So with that said the gp60 pack will be released on March 23rd 2012 unless i get my commercial agreement licenses sooner.

whats included in the gp60 series V1.1 donationware pack:

BNSF GP60M x5 (modifications to skins and 5 road #s) units with modern comfort cab.
cab interior night lighting scheme
working doors, windows, sunscreens,
working gauges, switches, buttons and levers
digital speedometer up to 99mph (pretty sure these dont do 100)
EXTERIOR MODEL:
flashing ditch lights with horn sound
custom horn
wipers, fans, 2012 light fx

gp60 NS x 5 units with traditional cab:
cab interior lighting
working doors, windows, sunscreens,
working gauges, switches, buttons and levers
EXTERIOR MODEL:
flashing ditch lights, units with A/C and without A/C on roof
animated fans, and 2012 lighting, same custom horn

pack also includes operaters manual for cab control.
4 scenarios heavy switching and some mainline runs in seattle.

If i dont figure out the rain fx before the release it will be on the V1.2final release(my consult is busy with other projects right now)
I dont plan on any new locos for now, just going to fix up the dash 8 so its up to my standard, and add in the rain fx once i learn it. Oh and work on my route too.

FREE DEMO:
the traditional gp60 NS 1 unit number only with standard lights but no 2012 lights, default cab, no exterior animations,
no flashing ditch lights either. custom horn is included.

thanks guys.

Thanks for all your efforts. These locomotives along with your excellent Seattle route set RW to a new level
of enjoyment.

So there wont be any rain fx. Apparently RSC has an application for it, and only gives it out to their 3rd party developers. oh well. The cab model is therefore complete at this point being that ive pretty much hit every avenue you can hit for the game. working on scenarios now.

Would this help with the rain effects?

Ok so i figured out how to get that shader. thanks to UKTS forums, copy the app.fbk and shaderdesc.txt from your railworks dev folder to maxplugins folder and overwrite. sweet. i'll give this a whirl later.

Can I put in a vote for dynamic numbers instead of fixed ones, please?

[eyein12]

rainfx work now, just need to make a bigger "wipe" mark on the windshield but so far so good! rainfx will go in before the release.

UPDATE: made a bigger "wipe" now i can see out the window. cool deal. Rain fx will be in the first release.

[imnew]

Good news

[eyein12]

UPDATE: Hey guys I finished the traditional cab for the gp60 unit. Looks cool. I will post a vid this afternoon, just look in this post for the youtube link. The trad cab has all the necessary features you would expect for a RW3 loco. I will put the weathering fx in, in a few hours as it is the last thing that needs to be done. I need to figure out why the bell doesnt work on both cabs, external and internally. This week I will be doing some quality control and making sure everything is air tight. release is still on target for friday morn.

thanks

Ian
