Moved to payware announcements and put my order in. I love Rich's stuff.

What? But I haven't finished Colton, Rascal and Fort Kent. I haven't even bought Ohio Steel yet.
Slow down, Richard, I can't keep up!

Been looking at the screenies on Richard's site, very impressive route with lots of hand built scenery assets and ground textures, another winner from his drawing board......

Incidentally, do we have any appropriate locomotives/boxcars in any of the different Arkansas' Railroad liveries, I have a couple of KCS engines, but, wondered if there was anything else around, please ?

Cheerz. ex-railwayman.

Have driven just over half the route so far. Very very impressive level of detail.

Whilst I have never been as far west as Arkansas (got to the Mississippi on one visit) it has a real world feel about it.

Thank you.

I have been through that part of the country a bunch of times and I am amazed at how Rich has captured the feel for the area. Many hours will be spent running this route.

I have tried two scenarios and it is very impressive. Lots of detail as per nromal for Ric, another winner for Allaboard i think. Pete

How are the framerates in areas with his custom assets? Reason I ask is his routes are the only ones that slow my framerates to a crawl.

Hey Trevor,

Have you tried his routes since the 2013 update? The reason I ask is because I had the same experience. FPS in the single digits on Rich's routes, and locked at 30 on every other route. But after the update, I thought, what the heck, I'll give 'em a try again, and all of them run smooth and locked at 30 now just like my other routes. Even Dover yard is fine.

Give it a try if you haven't.

At Van Buren on the Fort Smith I am getting 43 FPS



At Dover on the Ohio Steel I am getting 33 FPS

Trevor

for me they seem to be some of the best ive seen of his routes, I am running on almost top settings and getting around anywhere from 25-35fps across the route.

[Flywheel]

yes if it helps i am getting around 47 fps in the higher density areas, but i have just upgraded and before that in Ohio i was gettting around 14 and below at times. pete

This is definitely a route worth acquiring. Some early reactions (I've only run the introductory scenario):
1) Took a long time to install; don't give up on it or try to rush it. [Rich's package password is extremely apropos in several senses.]
2) Features a very long Sunday driver section that long-run scenario lovers will appreciate (while guys like me will exercise the AsyncKeys option).
3) Garber does functional RR crossings!!!!!!!
4) I wish he'd used a different engine. Not only does his choice have a lousy head-out view, but its chatter mentions that unmentionable Foreman.
5) The route's only tunnel portal (at least northbound) has been blocked by a landslide.
6) Part of the Sunday drive section involves a roller-coaster subdivision ... very exciting with AsyncKeys engaged!
7) Portals, portals everywhere!!!!
8) Full-length siding markers everywhere.
9) There's only one turntable and it's just window dressing, which may be why its roundhouse doors are sealed shut.
10) Definitely looking forward to running the rest of the scenarios.

A big thank you to Rich for another jewel in the crown.

And that's enough gab from the Old Prof for now ...

Does anyone know where I can find this asset?
