HST & Mk3 Repaints Now Released

I am pleased to announce some further uploads to the DPSimulation website, courtesy of Richard Fletcher.

Utilising both the ECMLS HST and the older Oovee Buffer version, there is an HST/DVT power car pack in Intercity Swallow livery. In addition and utilising only the Oovee Buffer pack, there are a selection of Mk3 HST trailer vehicles in the same livery.

Finally, Richard has also created a scenario for East Coast Mainline: North East that utilises the all new Newcastle to MetroCentre section. This scenario is available for all who have early access, and is located on the same password protected page as the route. Once the first release version of the route is ready, the scenario will be moved to the normal ECMLNE scenario page for everyone to download.

East Coast Mainline: North East - Early Access V1.2

I have now uploaded V1.2 of the East Coast Mainline: North East route to a password protected area of the DPSimulation website for those with early access. The changelog is as follows:

* Added new section between Newcastle and Swalwell Junction including speed limits, signalling and full scenery. Custom assets included for MetroCentre Station and Scotswood Bridge.

* Added various new models in their initial stage with base textures. These include Angel Of The North, St James Park Stadium, Milennium Bridge and Sage Centre.

* Added new custom cable trough asset, new trackside clutter assets and further foliage variation to the Tees Valley line.

* Track directionality fix on the Up Main at Heaton, services are now not automatically routed via the yard.

* Added track and scenery fixes in the Newcastle area to facilitate the new extension.

* Basic Quick Drive added to and from the new extension.

Early access is given by way of thanks to those who have made a donation to DPSimulation in order to support the costs in running an ever expanding and primarily free website for all to use.

For anyone who wishes to make a donation and wants this access (not everyone does, some just want to donate), once the donation is made, you will need to then fill in a 'Contact Us' form, found at the bottom of the DPSimulation website giving me your Steam username. There is no minimum donation, all I request is that people are sensible, given that Paypal like to take a rather large cut of all donations given.

They will then receive a follow up email (usually within minutes depending on the time of day) detailing their access instructions. 

 

Coming Soon

An all new extension for East Coast Mainline: North East is coming soon to DPSimulation for Train Simulator 2014.

Highly detailed and featuring all new custom assets, this extension stretches from Newcastle to Swalwell Junction via MetroCentre, allowing services to terminate and reverse before heading back towards Newcastle and beyond.

New Repaint Uploaded

I have just uploaded an all new repaint to the DPSimulation website on behalf of Richard Fletcher.

The upload in question is GB Railfreight Class 66 locomotive 66709 'Sorrento', it requires the RSC Freightliner V2 Class 66 locomotive from the Steam Store, and includes a specially created custom 3D nameplate .

This fantastic repaint can be downloaded from the dedicated Richard Fletcher page by clicking here.

Shop Til' You Drop V2

I did show a model on this very blog for this location a long, long time ago, for a different route that was being worked on. As this was back in my early days of modelling, there were several inaccuracies and it wasn't as polished as it could have been.

I've now created a completely new model based on the near present day variation of the station, and am reasonably happy as to how it has turned out...
