—ENGLISCH— Launched: November 8, 2024 Estimated completion date: Unknown Platforms: PC Current progress: 6% —Project Overview— The Israel Railways IC3 for Train Sim World project aims to create a realistic and detailed recreation of Israel Railways IC3 train for the popular railway simulation game Train Sim World 4. —Project Goals— - High-fidelity modeling: Creating a highly detailed 3D model of Israel Railways IC3 , including all interior and exterior areas. - Realistic physics: Implementing realistic physical properties and driving dynamics to provide an authentic driving experience. - High-fidelity sounds: Recording and integrating authentic sound effects for engines, signals and environment. - User-friendly controls: Developing an intuitive control interface suitable for both beginners and experienced players. - Scenarios and missions: Creating realistic scenarios and missions simulating the operation of Israel Railways IC3 under different conditions. —Development phases— 1. Planning and research (0-5%): Collecting reference materials, technical drawings and specifications. Building a clear project plan and setting the milestones. 2. 3D modeling (5-25%): Creating the 3D model of the train using CAD software and other 3D modeling tools. 3. Texturing and materials (25-40%): Applying realistic textures and materials to the 3D model to ensure an authentic representation. 4. Sound design (40-55%): Recording and integrating faithful sound effects. 5. Physics and driving dynamics (55-70%): Development and fine-tuning of the train's physical properties and driving dynamics. 6. User interface and controls (70-85%): Design and implementation of the control interface and user interactions. 7. Scenario development (85-95%):** Creation and testing of realistic scenarios and missions. 8. Testing and optimization (95-100%): Comprehensive testing, debugging and optimization of the module. —Challenges and risks— - Technical complexity: Ensuring that the model and simulation meet high quality standards. - Time management: Meeting project schedules despite potential technical hurdles. - User experience: Developing user-friendly yet realistic controls. —Conclusion— "Israel Railways IC3 for Train Sim World" project is an ambitious and exciting initiative that aims to enrich the gaming experience for rail fans. With a current progress of around 6%, the project is still in its early stages, but the course is set for a successful implementation. We look forward to sharing the progress of this exciting project with the community and ultimately delivering a high-quality addition to Train Sim World.
It's similar to a Danish train, don't remember the name now.... But it always nice seeing another country in this game! great work!
That little beast of a DMU has an LZB-style implementation and runs 180 km/h. And the cab is mounted onto the door and can be folded over when coupling mutliple units. Fun to drive!
