krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 15 Apr 2005 16:45

Those are really sharp! Maybe someday I'll take a look at Simutrans.

Raven · Post by **Raven** » 16 Apr 2005 16:09

for sure i'll be honoured.

Whenever i finish something playable i'll leave a note here.

BTW, i need info about ALCO diesels throughout time. Is there somewhere to look? Thanks

DanMacK seems to be an Alco expert.

Are they rendered from 3D objects?

Raven · Post by **Raven** » 16 Apr 2005 18:04

yes, i found no better way to work.
Actually i have twice those liveries done, and a thousand steamers and MU's. At this size it's soooo easy

Also if at any moment the graphic engine allows for more than 8 views, it's a matter of hours to rerender everything up to date.

Awesome work man! Although there was no such thing as an "SD30"

PM me with what ALCo units you want info on, and what info you need. I'm sure I can dig up some info.

i just took all data about emd and created 4 GP models and 4 SP models, one for each engine developed by EMD. After all, this is a game

.

About alco the only thing i would need are basic data about locomotives built, Name, year, speed and engine power, maybe usage too(to adjust gear)
I'll try to make a timeline 1940-2010 of 5-7 vehicles (for each one a 2 axle and a 4 axle) (that's what i did with GE already

).

I found a perfect webpage to gather phots, so just names is fine. Thanks!

Raven · Post by **Raven** » 20 Apr 2005 11:56

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 21 Apr 2005 17:59

Nice

But wouldn't it be nicer if the station hall roof is transparent so you can see the trains (like in TT)?
