No problem - I'm glad it was some use. London Underground had been using the (Signal) trip Arms fore some time so I guess Westinghouse suggested...
Thanks for your reply. At the end of last year I treated myself to the Steam "one off licence" version of Substance Painter and this baking...
Brief Update I have just completed most of the Boiler / Superstructure modelling although there is some mirroring to do to get Filler Caps etc....
You cast from your RVV to the Animation Blueprint for the Cab (or to the exterior in some cases.) To do this you need a reference to the Animation...
I have been thinking about a step by step tutorial on how to set up a custom vehicle for some time but you will appreciate it is very time...
I'm no expert on Unreal Animations but this method worked for me with simple control levers for the cab. All of my controls were rotating levers...
As regards animations (of the throttle button I assume you mean) I set up a cab animation blueprint and used direct bone manipulation for this...
Here are a couple of images of the old class 57 on my own route to illustrate my answer to your PM. This one !! [ATTACH] and this one :-...
Thanks for your reply. I can't see anything wrong with your RVM coding or the Simugraph, although having made steam locos I'm not very familiar...
Sorry I may have got a bit confused with my explanation. The nodes are in your RVM Event Graph so they should connect up OK as shown in this...
In your RVM you have the switch set up as Push Button which is linked to the Input Identifier "Engine Stop Start." You also have a Throttle...
Having updated the Editor I have managed to access the RVV and the image shows the setup that I used. The collision is set to VHID and I can...
My editor was crashing at 75% and I don't have Cesium but I see there is a new update on Epic Games website. I've remembered to back up the editor...
Thanks for your encouragement. I'm hoping that the Train Sim World aspects (RVM/RVV/Simugraph) etc. will just be a cut and paste exercise as the...
Hello With my loco I didn't do any coding in the RVV and the Climb Up camera transition seems to work OK. Currently my Editor is crashing at 75%...
May I just add one or two points (or 3!) which may help. You select a node by dragging it from the list on the RHS into the main window. You can...
Having made a start on my next loco project (GWR Auto train) I have completed the Class 48XX (14XX) loco chassis and about to start creating the...
You're right. Simugraph isn't impossible to deal with but in many of the nodes there are lots of variables you can set and it can be tricky to...
I'm sorry I can't help with your query but I felt I must congratulate you on your Britannia model which is very impressive. Apart from the...
Thanks - that could well be useful
Glad I was able to help. I used an event Begin Play in the RVV event Graph with the same nodes as you and promote the Anim Instance Return Value...
As you may have seen elsewhere I successfully managed to cook my custom GWR locomotive on 18th January including a simple scenario and the pak...
I was struggling to attach an image to the message I sent earlier so thought I'd post it here. This image shows the Event graph for the Regulator...
Thank you. When I started I had serious doubts that I would ever be able to get a custom made locomotive working in the game.
As an amateur / hobbyist who has also been retired for many years I don't think I'm an ideal candidate to be a DTG third party partner . I cannot...
Thanks for your comments. It is interesting (and quite strange !) to see other people's photographs of the loco now that I have sent it out into...
Thanks.
Thanks for your comments. The route project has been going on for a long time (started way back in TSC days) and I am slowly rebuilding it in TSW...
UPDATE It seems you won't have to wait as it has already been released on the Train Sim Community website. I was surprised to see there is even a...
Thank you both for your kind words. I have submitted the pak. file to TSC for approval and hope it will be released in a few days. I will post an...
I have put this to one side for the moment and plan to submit the last working pak. file to TSC for release as a beta version freeware mod. I may...
If you look at my GWR Pannier Tank locomotive thread and go to page 2 there is a message from rob#3036 on 4th April 2025 which includes his...
I tried cooking my route (even tough it's not really ready) and it failed due to 1000 errors a lot of which were long file names. The Mod Manager...
APOLOGIES I think my enthusiasm may have got the better of me. This occurs on other routes as well so I guess the Scenario Failure could be...
While I was preparing the screen shots for classthrash on the Mod Manager thread I found a clue to the culprit. As you will see from the attached...
UPDATE Thank you classthrash for requesting a screenshot otherwise I wouldn't have spotted that. Checked again and it seems that everything is...
As promised earlier I have copied the pak. file into the game, started the scenario (one of my own included in the pak file) and taken screenshot...
Thanks to both of you (pwilson79 and Matt Higgins) for the support and encouragement. Scenarios failing after 3 minutes seems a very odd, very...
Thank you for your reply. Firstly I have cleared the Mod Staging folder and the Saved folder for my plug in. (I have previously deleted the mod...
Since Tuesday I have been trying to get cooking to work using the Mod Manager but whatever I try my scenarios fail after 3+ minutes (even if just...
Is anyone else having problems with Cooking since the recent Editor update ?. On 18th Jan I successfully cooked and packed my GWR steam loco...
(ANOTHER) UPDATE I tried removing the scenarios (after backup) and deleted all files relating to cooking including the saved mod json file. I also...
UPDATE The old pak. file (from 18th January) works fine in TSW6 and the one scenario included can be played without any sudden failures. The...
That's an interesting question. Since the latest update to the Editor I am having problems getting a new scenario I created to work in the...
Thanks for your encouragement. I have been studying Autotrailers and may make Number 13 (diagram F) which was allocated to the Calne Branch from...
Sorry you didn't have any luck. I don't understand why it is looking for a VHID in the "driveable RVM". My RVM doesn't have any VHID's as they are...
Assume you have a Driver's environment in your RVM and that you have a socket "Seat_Driver" in the skeletal mesh of your Cab to attach the...
Thanks for your support. I think I have nearly done as much as I can on this loco so hopefully I will release it as a mod. in the near future and...
Thanks for your reply. I tend to look at all my hobby projects as a challenge for me to learn how to turn my original idea into reality and I can...
