Class 465 Repaints Released

I have now uploaded two new Class 465 repaints to the DPSimulation website courtesy of Richard Fletcher.

Featuring SouthEastern Trains 465/2 and 465/9 variations, they both contain liveries which feature the black and blue stripe variants. As well as the requirement of the Class 465 pack from Steam, these repaints also require the Armstrong Powerhouse Class 365/465/466 sound pack due to the use of both sound and simulation files.

All repaints can be downloaded by following this link.

Class 456 Repaints Released

I have now uploaded two new Class 456 repaints to the DPSimulation website courtesy of Richard Fletcher.

Both utilising the all new Class 456 EMU that is included with the South London Network route, the repaints feature the Network SouthEast livery in both branded and unbranded guises. Both repaints have an updated cab and passenger views.

There have also been updates to some older files in order to add batch files, these files are the Southern Class 455, Overground Class 378 and the Gatwick Express Class 444. In the case of the Class 455, it has also been updated to make use of the 'Empty Start' feature in Train Simulator 2015.

New Uploads - Class 52 Mega Livery Pack

I have just uploaded a new set of repaints to the DPSimulation website courtesy of Matthew Wilson and Mungo Design Studios.

First we have the eagerly anticipated Class 52 'Western' mega livery pack. A collaboration between Matthew, Ewan Rutledge and Chris Barnes, this pack features no less than TEN livery variations of the class, showing examples of every operational mainline scheme and many different numbered locos. The config files have been altered so that the train starts with the brakes applied instead of fully off as standard. It also includes custom particles and scripting to give dynamic exhaust that reacts in line with what you are doing with the throttle and works in tandem with the Armstrong Powerhouse Class 52 Pro Sound Pack.

Both the Class 52 locomotive pack from Steam and the Armstrong Powerhouse Class 52 Pro Sound Pack are required for this livery pack to work. Full instructions on installation are provided with the download, care must be taken to follow these instructions precisely.

This pack can be downloaded from the following link.

Second, Mungo Design Studios have produced another Mk3a coach pack, this time in Wrexham & Shropshire Blue/Grey livery, as leased from Cargo-D. This pack requires the AP/Waggonz GEML Class 90 pack, available from Steam.

This pack can be downloaded from the following link.

 

Downloads Status Update

I am aware of the server issue that currently is affecting certain downloads from the DPSimulation site. I have contacted the host who have assured me that these will be restored as soon as possible. In the meantime, there is not a great deal that I can do.

Thankyou for your patience.

Slam Door Repaints Uploaded

I have now uploaded various new repaints of slam door stock to the DPSimulation website, courtesy of Richard Fletcher.

The first is a Class 427 4VEG in 'Blue Grey Gatwick' livery. Previously available on UKTS but now removed from there, this has now been completely overhauled with an extensively updated livery, new branding and completely reworked cab textures. This repaint requires the Class 423 VEP pack from Steam and is also aliased to the Armstrong Powerhouse 421/422/423 sound pack, it is recommended to own this as well.

There are also three new 'Blue/Grey' livery patches for the Class 421 '4CIG', Class 422 '4BIG' and Class 423 '4VEP'. They all now have a more accurate representation of the livery and more importantly, they also match. All three also have completely reworked cab textures and the Class 422 also has reworked textures in the passenger view. Each of these livery patches will simply overwrite the original textures.

All of these new repaints can be downloaded, as ever, from Richard's page by clicking here.

SP10 - Scenario Pack Released!

I am very pleased to announce the release of my latest scenario pack, SP10.

This scenario pack comprises of six scenarios, all based on the 'West Coast Main Line: Over Shap' route available from Steam. Set in 2014, the pack covers the Class 350 EMU, Class 156 and Class 170 deputising for the Class 185. The scenarios offer varying and challenging operations and give around five hours of further driving on this fantastic route along with varied AI and plenty of interaction with other services to keep you on your toes.

Created using real timetables where appropriate, this scenario pack features the following in order to give an engaging and realistic experience.

Prototypical consists

Prototypical passing AI

Adverse Signals & AI Interaction

Utilises repaints created specifically for this pack

Several repaints recently released on DPSimulation were also created specifically for this pack and as ever, are completely free and standalone from this scenario pack and are available to download now.

Although I appreciated that the requirements list is quite extensive for this pack, this has been done in order to utilise the wide variety of content we now have available, and to provide the best possible experience.

This scenario pack is again priced at only £1.99, a price point which has been chosen to offer excellent value for money in order to help subsidise site costs at the ever expanding DPSimulation website. The pack can be viewed and purchased by following this link, which contains screenshots, a full list of requirements and a full description of each scenario in order to provide you with all the information needed before making a purchase.

This release has also been added to the [DPS-ALL] scenario pack, which allows users to purchase all current available packs in one go, for a lower price.
