This is Version 1.7 of a Train Driver Simulator, simulating
Class 87 Locos working on the West Coast Main Line from
Euston to Glasgow.
I originally wrote this program for my own use, but I have been persuaded
by friends who have played it, that it was suitable for public release.
I wrote this program with the excellent Blitz2 because the
other train driver simulations advertised for fifteen or twenty quid (UKP)
in the railway mags, are generally text based, with limited options
so I wanted to write a program that made you feel that you were
actually in the cab, and one in which the train behaved realistically,
with proper moving graphics, unlimited options, and was freely available.
This program is aimed at users with a little UK railway knowledge
but anyone can have a go.
Please note this program is still in development
but is generally stable.
Also some of the data is incomplete, such as signal numbers, but
the data on the program is otherwise accurate as far as I know.
Changes since V1.6
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
o New weather conditions Icy and Fall
Icy: Very poor rail adhesion
Wheelslip in upper half of green zone
Brakes may cause wheel slide below 60 psi
Snowfall!
Fall: Leaf-fall season. Very treacherous!
Wheelslip possible whenever taking power
Braking may cause wheelslide at any time
The rail adhesion is also affected by the difficulty level chosen.
The chosen setting may also change during your journey depending
on the difficulty level chosen.
o Diversionary route via Northampton added between milepost 56 and Rugby
This line is an extension of the Slow lines from Hanslope junction to Rugby.
The line speed is 75 mph and is signalled with 3 aspect colour light signals
(ie no double yellows). This route is two miles longer than the main line
via Weedon. The line falls at 1 in 200, through Hunsbury Hill tunnel, to
Northampton and then climbs at 1 in 230 back up to Rugby through a short tunnel
at Crick.
To force a train to be diverted hold Left-alt key while passing Signal no 79.
o New cab screen graphics (Thanks to Hans Berkhout :))
o Random speed trap
At any point along the route there could be a speed trap set up by traction
inspectors. You will be advised as soon as your speed has been recorded.
If you are speeding there is a possibility you will be releived of your
driving duties immediately.
o Better compatability GUI
GUI problems with A500 fixed
o Optional screen requester to help NTSC users for the cab screen,
and other screens are now NTSC compatible.
o More fine tuning of data and graphics
o Guide and help pics updated
o More bugs fixed ('Start at' gadget etc)
