East Midlands Trains Class 158 Released

I have just uploaded yet another repaint to the DPSimulation website courtesy of Richard Fletcher.

Utilising the Class 158 included with Liverpool to Manchester, this repaint features the class in East Midlands Trains livery. As well as the exterior livery change, this repaint also includes new cab and passenger view textures.

Like recent uploads, this pack includes a .bat file which will automatically copy over the relevant files. Further to this, you do not need to unpack the .ap file before doing so, as the .bat file does this automatically, the installation process has just become a whole lot easier!

This repaint can be downloaded from the DMU section of Richard's page by clicking here.

Bumper Bank Holiday!

I have just uploaded several new repaints to the DPSimulation website on behalf of Richard Fletcher.

Starting with a Class 66, we have an EWS/DBS 'Debranded' repaint, these are starting to appear increasingly on the network. This repaint requires the Class 66 EWS V2 addon.

We then have three liveries for the Class 150 by Thomson/Oovee. The liveries in question are 'Network Northwest', 'Greater Manchester PTE' and 'Merseyrail'.

 

Then, we have a further four variations for the same Class 150 in Sprinter/Provincial livery to represent four different depots in Cardiff Canton, Haymarket, Neville Hill and Newton Heath. All four have the relevant destination boards for their depot as well as numbering to reflect allocations in the late 1980's period.

All of the above include .bat files for ease of installation and without the need to copy .GeoPcDx files between folders.

Finally, the Manchester Metrolink M5000 tram has been reuploaded and is now V1.2. This will be the final version and includes the correct textures, input mappers and it does not require the original Croydon Tram to be installed.

All of these repaints can be downloaded from their relevant section of Richard's page by clicking here.

New Repaint Uploaded

I have just uploaded two revised files to the DPSimulation website, courtesy of Richard Fletcher along with a new upload.

The revised files are for the Manchester Metrolink tram, which now includes the missing input mappers along with a new version of the London Midland Class 350/1 which includes revised physics.

The new file is a further Class 350 pack, with London Midland /2 & /03 variants. These also feature updated physics, correct front end livery variations and interiors.

Both of the Class 350 packs also now include batch files, so the days of having to carefully copy .GeoPcDx files are now over. Simply install the .rwp file as normal, then navigate to the location of the batch file as described in the readme. Run the batch file and it will quickly and automatically copy over the correct files before deleting itself to save space.

All of these repaints can be downloaded from the EMU section of Richard's page by clicking here.

Liverpool to Manchester - Two New Repaints Released

I have just uploaded two new repaints to the DPSimulation website, courtesy of Richard Fletcher. Both have been created for use on the recently released 'Liverpool to Manchester' route from Dovetail Games.

The first is a London Midland Class 350/1 which utilises the Class 450 included with the London to Brighton route addon. An all new custom pantograph has been created specifically for this repaint, and therefore no further addons are required.

The second is a repaint of the excellent Croydon Tram from Richard Scott in Manchester Metrolink livery. Although it is anticipated that this will be mainly used as AI in scenarios, it is driveable and due to the current situation on the Liverpool to Manchester route where the Metrolink lines are unelectrified, a 'diesel' version has been included that will run on these lines.

Both of these repaints can be downloaded from the EMU section of Richard's page by clicking here.

East Coast HST Branding Pack Released

I have just released another repaint to the DPSimulation website on behalf of Richard Fletcher.

To round of this weeks East Coast Mainline theme, this pack adds East Coast branding to the East Coast Mainline South (London to Peterborough) HST. As this is a texture set, no file copying is required and the files will simply overwrite the unbranded version that is provided with the route package.

It doesn't only feature the addition of branding, it includes several texture tweaks to better reflect the prototype, weathering and the removal of both the ATP signage and coach numbers. An amended auto-number file for the power cars also provides prototypical numbering for the current East Coast fleet.

This pack can be downloaded from the Locomotives section of Richard's page by clicking here.

First Capital Connect Class 317 Pack Released

And the East Coast theme continues......

I have also now uploaded an all new First Capital Connect Class 317 pack to the DPSimulation website.

Featuring the First 'Dynamic Lines' style livery along with the plain dark blue variant as seen on 317346, this pack has been designed to add greater AI variation to the East Coast Main Line South (London to Peterborough) route.

Additional features include all new and fully customisable digital style destination displays and pre-made 4-car consists are included for use in Quick Drive or user made scenarios.

This pack can be downloaded from the EMU section of the reskins page by clicking here.

East Coast Class 43 Power Cars - Released

Continuing the recent East Coast Mainline theme, I have just uploaded the latest repaint to the DPSimulation website on behalf of Richard Fletcher.

Utilising the East Coast Main Line South (London to Peterborough) Class 43 power cars, these are repainted into the East Coast livery.

This pack can be downloaded from the Locomotives section of Richard's page by clicking here.

GNER/East Coast 91/Mk4 Set Released

I have just released another repaint to the DPSimulation website on behalf of Richard Fletcher.

Continuing the East Coast theme, this is the first Class 91/Mk4 Set repaint from Richard and it is the ex-GNER livery with East Coast branding. This set obviously requires the InterCity Class 91 Addon from Steam.

Please be warned that as with the East Coast Grey repaint, there is not a simple installation process for this pack and it does require the movement of several files, along with file editing should you wish to enhance it further. Full instructions are included with the pack and IF followed to the letter, the repaint will work as intended.

This pack can be downloaded from the Locomotives section of Richard's page by clicking here.

Grand Central HST Repaint Released

I have just released another repaint to the DPSimulation website on behalf of Richard Fletcher.

Intended to be the start of an East Coast Mainline theme, the first upload from this theme is a Grand Central HST set which utilises both the ECMLS HST as well as using the Buffer HST pack for the buffers themselves.

It is also recommended to have both the MTU (Pro) and Mk3 Coach sound packs from Armstrong Powerhouse to give correct audio for this train. However, the majority of sounds should still alias to default should you not own these packs.

This pack can be downloaded from the Locomotives section of Richard's page by clicking here.

Class 143/144 Repaints - Released

I have just released another batch of repaints to the DPSimulation website on behalf of Richard Fletcher.

All utilising the marketplace version of the Class 143, three of these repaints directly replace existing ones that were hosted in order to provide more authenticity. A further Class 144 in 'MetroTrain' has also been added.

As well as utilising the marketplace variant, this still means that you require the Riviera Line route for the original Class 143. All of these repaints also automatically use the Class 142 from Armstrong Powerhouse which was updated to provide better sounds to the class.

This pack can be downloaded from the DMU section of Richard's page by clicking here.

Queen Mary Brake Van - Repaint Pack Released

I am pleased to announce that I have uploaded an all new repaint pack of the recently released Digital Traction 'Queen Mary' brake van on behalf of Richard Fletcher.

Two variants are included, a YTV 'Dutch' engineers livery example, as worn by DS56283 throughout the 1980's, plus a 'YTW' version in EWS livery, as carried by KDS56305 as late as 2000 and perhaps beyond.
