After my copy of Railworks 2 automatically updated to RW3, I took my first go, and I was amazed! The updates to the locomotives are excellent and the new features such as realistic raindrops and moovement onboard the train really do make you feel like the driver.
Anyway, moving onto the actual thread, I decided it was about time we had something on this forum about RW3, so a screenshot thread sounded perfect. Unfortunately, I have created this thread on my Android phone, so I can't kick off with some of my own screenshots and therefore will be leaving that to you.
Upload your best, it can be anything!
Enjoy the thread...

Will find out links to screens later since im not on steam at the moment in time.

But here is a video to show of one of the new features with the AI.



Click on the pic to go to video. Will be uploaded to youtube though later in the day.

The screenshots all look outstanding. Haven't been on Railworks for a while, will have to try out the new version soon.

I noticed that graphically it's a lot better than RW2, but mine doesn't seem to be. Is that down to the laptop I'm using? For example I have no realistic raindrops!

Stigy, on the main splash screen that appears when you run Railworks (before the actual game) on the settings screen, there is a tick box at the top to activate the TSX game engine. At default, it is running in legacy mode, without some of the new features.

Except that 'legacy mode' - which is basically RW2 graphics, doesn't work as well as the actual RW2 used to. More jerky, pixellation on windscreen glass of Class 101 DMU, and scene flashes flat yellow every now and then.

Well, that is up for debate. Maybe that is the situation for you, but others are finding that the legacy mode works much better than RW2 did.

Work is being done to address those that are having problems though.

Just to add "legacy mode" is not just RW2 graphics either. :)

Cresston V4 is above yeah, but commercial pressures are also above that. I'll get there.

They're looking great!
I've attatched one of mine - the Class 31 in Fragonsnet Livery at Reading Station.
I will upload some more tomorrow evening.

Some fantastic screenshots, the more the better! :)

I didn't get a chance to use RW this weekend, but when I next go on, I might just upload a shot or two of my newly progressing route....
