Cresston V4 OB v1.4 - Now Available

Please note, traffic is already really high and the download may have temporary periods of unavailability. Please bear with me and try again if this happens.I am also in the process of providing an alternative download.

The Cresston V4 v1.4 Open Beta is now available and can be downloaded from DPSimulation. The download is around 93.5mb in size.

Description

This is a beta version of Cresston V4 and is not the final, completed product. This will manifest in a number of different ways. Parts of scenery are missing and some areas are in a grubby state. In order to provide some order to the chaos, some areas will have a billboard above the track stating that this is still a WIP area. As this is a beta, some signalling, speed limits, track properties and other track related items are still missing. This has an obvious impact on scenario creation, however, it is still safe to create scenarios in most areas and any future beta releases along with the final release will not break these.

Despite the billboards stating some areas are a no go, many areas of scenery beyond these boards are actually complete and you are more than welcome to go beyond them and take a look around, much of the idea behind releasing an open beta is in order to give people the chance to take a look at what is to come.

Requirements

Cresston V4 requires WCML North and the AP Station Asset Pack, both of which are available from the Steam store. These are not optional downloads, and are integral to the route. There are no further downloads required**, everything else is included within the route package.

**This is applicable for existing users who had purchased all versions of Railworks up until Train Simulator 2012. As this route relies on much of the original asset content that was included in these original versions, any new users who only own TS2013 as of 21/09/2012 will also need the legacy Euro and US Asset Packs. These are available from Steam.

If any new users are wishing to use this route and are wondering which is the best way to move forward, and are willing to make a purchase, it's worth noting that the main requirement WCML North includes both of these asset packs at no further cost.

Scenarios

Included within OBv1.4 are three short scenarios which do not feature AI. They are there merely for the end user to have a quick drive over some of the newer sections of the

route. Two of the scenarios require the payware Class 156 DMU, available from Steam, whilst the other utilises the Intercity Swallow HST.
