Thought I'd announce this now as it's more than half ready and it'll encourage me to get it finished and uploaded.
Swan Hunter Trip is a scenario for Joe Whittaker's North East Rails route.
It's essentially a scenario of two halves, the first consisting of a relatively leisurely trip along the riverside branch, best enjoyed from the brakevan, with AI traffic and some sublime views of a fogbound industrial Tyneside on offer, and the second being a more traditional, scripted shunting scenario for those who enjoy following lots of instructions to the clang and clash of buffers. Since the player is encouraged to use the brakevan some propelling is included along the way. Setting is late seventies BR blue era.
Progress to date. Player train, all movements and instructions and all the interacting AI complete and tested. Scenic AI 75% complete and 50% tested. Pop-ups messages, and scenic asset placement plotted out but not yet added. ETA the weekend after next.
I'm trying to keep the asset list as minimal as possible, so far it's the old UK default, the Woodhead items that are required for NER, the old 101, the old 31 and UKTS freeware. I'm humming and hawing over putting some steam in at Percy Main.
Cheers,
Derek
