Good stuff, yet another 15X for me to drive

Will there be any form of a update regarding the other BVE stuff by the way?

Few transparency issues with it:
The raindrops and AWS_Black need correcting to 0, 0, 255 colour.

Other than that, a very good train that works well in oBVE!
Well done.

 

[Class365]

Wasnt built for open BVE. But I suppose sometime soon I can sort that out. But im concentrating on other things at the moment. That was just sat on my hard drive for ages so thought would get it released.

 

[mbonwick]

I know it's not designed for openBVE, but it runs well in it, so you've obviously done a good job of making the train as open is so much stricter.

All it needs to be the perfect oBVE train is an external view - but util then, it's an excelent cab.

 

[devon_metro]

Very nice. Glad its built for BVE4!

Cant wait to drive this when I'm on my BVE PC!

I really want that track texture on the 158 & 321 download screenshot! Not sure how we get it though, as ive seen it only being used on 'trials'.
Going to drive the coffin now...

Well they are some textures I have on behalf of my partner in crime with the 350. They are more to make good screenshots

I really like this train a lot but there is only one small problem when I drive it on any route is that sometimes when the framerate is a little bad, it gets blurry but you can still drive the train on the route your choosing despite you can't read the signs or the writing on the timetable properly.

Maybe it's just be my laptop I'm talking about because it's rather old but still in good though. LOL!

Just got a new PC, so BVE4 was the first thing installed, shortly followed by OpenBVE.

This 158 is a vast improvement on the older one, with the panel being much more detailed and the sounds being much improved. All I would say is that the cab is pretty dark - although, I guess that's down to the light when the actually photograph was taken?

Great stuff as usual.

*Cough* Where's that Class 20? *Cough*

 

[Class365]

The cab was dark. But we thought that it would actually be a good idea to keep it dark like that, mainly because cabs arent always bright and shiny. We thought it would be an idea to try and keep a little realism in the cab and keep it dark like how it might be in real life.

20 is on hold at the moment. 350 is almost done. and 378 has been started.

Sounds like things are progressing nicely. I was under their impression that BVE production at Oovee had stopped completely while you concentrated on RailWorks and your RideSim thingy.

I appear to be wrong! Can't wait for the 350!

 

[Class365]

Well while Zane and the team are working on ride sim. Im dealing with my PR position. and doing all the BVE stuff, working along side SlickBVE who is an amazing graphics artist.

Looking forward to the 350 - will be a very welcome addition!
