Great, I was actually waiting for these. They look awsome.

[petert]

Stunning models! The very last picture looks very modern.

[Yelgrun]

Thanks. The "red" train is the Narita Express. Btw. as far as I'm able to collect the original sounds I'll try to make every train with it's own horn and running sound. Later this evening I'll release the Series 207 (last picture) for a test.

Wow, very neat.

[Yelgrun]

Hello,
I've got here the 207 series. I'd like to know how you find the sound volume. Is it too loud? Or even to silent?

[noofnoof]

cool to see more mod makers, they look great, keep at it.

[busman]

sweet i love Japanese commuter trains, and they look great in the screenshots,

great work, these i want to play with

[Tracer bullet]

I like the look of these, very neat. It looks like you spent a lot of time on them and it shows. Great job.

[bwong]

very nice!

[Yelgrun]

Currently testing

[noofnoof]

cool, someone more knowledgable than me could tell you how to make the distance between the carriages bigger so it looks better on bends.

Three things,

One, They look a bit over sized for Locomotion?

Two, You do not need 3 sound files for each train. there is an upper limit on the number of dat's available before locomotion crashes. by adding 30+ sound files that almost sound the same can hurt end users. if the sounds are close, maybe you can recycle them. I'm going by what you said on the other forum that every car will have three unique sounds.


Three, As these are MSTS conversions, you list no credits for the model makers in any of your downloads. This forum as well as other locomotion forums do not support piracy. I'm not trying to single you out or be negative. It is a problem we run into every few months where a set is posted without permissions and it must be removed. One bad apple can the forum shut down for piracy. No one wants to see that. It is to protect yourself and the Forums.

no expert, but I believe they are narrowgauge. in which case they might be the correct scale to the rails.

Four:

Five: I've created those "MSTS conversions" by myself. There are MY created textures on MY created 3D-models.

Six: Any more of your valuable hints?

no expert, but I believe they are narrowgauge. in which case they might be the correct scale to the rails.

Your are right, originally they are narrow-gauge trains but despite of that they have the size of 1435mm-trains - even the real models. I'm certain you know the possibilities for working with the narrow-gauge track are quiet limited.

As I said. I am not trying to be rude.

Several times in the past serveral people including upstanding members of the forums (TT-Forums and the Fanpage) have claimed worked as their own and it turned out to be pirated payware/freeware and upset members of the MSTS community. Dozens of sets have been pulled for piracy.

You do have to understand concern or question when a brand new user pops up and says "I made these". Especially since a 3D artist would render right to Locomotion instead of converting from MSTS and loosing detail. If it was a direct render, I would not have even bothered questiong it.

I am not trying to pick on you and your work is quite welcome. I am just expressing concern to protect both the forum and yourself. If You have a link back to your MSTS page or some WIPs in your 3d program, that would be great.

Thank you for your reply.

Ah, You edited your post on me. Your car looks to be about 30-50% larger in width and height then the default or am I mistaken?

I've already made models for Locomotion back in 2005 under the name "Muschi" the same way. Unfortunately I'm not one of the many lucky guys who are abe to "buy" (you know) programs like 3DStudioMax and modeling with 3D Canvas, which I own is too slow for me. Besides I don't know how to set 135 camera angles and I don't have the time for it. That's why I'm using the Train Sim Modeler.

To answer your size-question: yes it seems you are mistaken. Please compare it with the default train on the picture.

When will you release the great work?
I look forward eagerly.

Best regard and thank you.

Asking for release is not realy appreciated by some of the modders. (Btw your post history is full with those questions.)
