New Aircraft

[dreddman]

Hello Good Evening and Welcome!

Gentelmen this thread and Ians models realy get the juices burning!! in typical dreddman style....I have been away for a bit, through too much work and a trainz/gmax burnout ...but feel the urge to model comming on, it will be a month or so as I have to move house, dont you hate that......its a long story but not now, lets just say "The retireing Cheif Judge is taking the "Long Walk"......taking Justice to the wastelands, and the Lawless"
Ian love the Sunderland.....Ansett ANA Lord Howe Island service from Sydney Harbour I belive.
But Trainz realy needs something to Rule the Skies..........My prefernce is a Klingon Bird of Prey...............
I have toyed with a lot of ideas over the years useing Trainz as the platform.
One in particular I devised in my twisted little imagionation..........
IMAGION!!..........................
OHhh there are gmax files and working 04 betas
I was playing around with the idea of a neo-gothic/steampunk city......a streamlined steam monorail airships great steamships normal steam rail...........
A cool concept I thought only screen i have

Hi,

nbrettoner - how did you manage to install Trainz Downloader Pro ? or is your PC setup that ancient that Net frameworks V1.1 is considered an upgrade ?

Most people who have Net frameworks will have the latest version I would presume (V3.5) and the installer refuses to proceed unless you upgrade it to V1.1 !!!!

Dave Bird

Hi Dave,

My apologies for not noticing your post earlier.
Just had a look & my current .net appears to be up to date as v3.5 plus associated updates, but Downloader Pro was probably already installed before .net was upgraded much.

Ian, Beautiful looking models and can add a lot to a route, I only have one ..... no sorry two questions,
Are you going to do a Lancaster?,
And anyone know of some 300mph (or higher) speed boards so the AI fly flatout?

Cheers

Andi

Hi Andi,

Yes the Lancaster is done, just a few touch ups to do.

I have made suitable speedsigns for the higher speeds, that are invisible in driver. They match the lower speeds I did for the helicopters, with speeds of 400, 500, 600, 800, 1000, and 1200 kph. They place on the centre of the track.

I will upload them today - now on DLS.

The Spitfires are now on the download station.

Note that the horn button H triggers machine gun sound only. Because the horn can trigger only one smoke source, I have used the bell key B to trigger both sound and smoke from the two cannons. Note, the models are listed as TRS2004, but the bell key script coding will only work in TRS2006 and later. I did not want to deny the use of the models to TRS2004 users, you can still have the gun sound with the horn key.

These are excellent, many thanks for creating them.

Any chance you could do some static scenery versions please?

I've a specific requirement for a Vulcan bomber for the UK ECML route; one of these would definitely make my day

 

[vulcan]

Thanks again for the interest, the Beaufighters and the higher invisible speed signs are now on the DLS.

Perhaps some static models later, ummm a Vulcan bomber, I haven't done a model for that yet.

Nice planes Ian..........."ummm a Vulcan bomber, I haven't done a model for that yet"
Like your Style!!

You could always place one on a piece of invisible track if he doesn't.

The Boeing B24 aircraft are now on the DLS, there are three versions, camouflage, and two silver Australian versions.

just do a DLS search for username "vulcan"

Hi vulcan.

I'm just being a tiny bit picky here. I'm always picky, because I'm a perfectionist.:hehe:

I read your description for "Spitfire Enginesound" on the DLS. It reads:
"Enginesound for the flying Avro Spitfire, based on the Merlin engine of that aircraft." You may have got your info a little wrong there. The Spitfire was built by the Supermarine Company in Southhampton in the mid-to-late 30's. And sorry to say, your Merlin sounds exactly like the engine in the Tiger Moth you built.

Other than that, the models are fine, keep up the good work!:Y:

Eagerly anticipating the Lancaster and Mustang,
Scott.

Sweet!

A search for my Username is the easiest for the models, or use my User ID which I list at the top of my posts under my forum name. I also place direct download links (to the DLS) on my webpages for most models.

Yeah, the use of the incorrect "Avro" results from trying to work on a number of aircraft at once, the old brain gets distracted, thanks.

Sounds take a long time to create, first to find a suitable sound, create an looping sound then to edit into the 24 sound loops and pitch changes required. I have used some sounds more than once for different aircraft, provided they sound "reasonable".

The sound you record from the ground as an aircraft passes by is nothing like the sound you have to create, dopler effects destroy the usefulness. For the Spitfire I was unable to create a suitable sound for the Hispano cannon instead of a machine gun sound.

Perhaps a new one for the Tiger Moth should be done, it is quite distinctive.

Hi Ian,

Many thanks for the great aircraft models. It certainly brought a new angle to looking at layouts. The sopwith pup was nice with the sound of 'Tally Ho Chaps' (not yours I know) but the spitfire is awsome. Its great when the lineside cameras track it at speed over the terrain. Keep up the good work. Hopefully a messursmitt might come along and we can have a dog fight!

Anyone remember those old black-and-white British WWII comics such as the Air Ace series?

The Brits always used to say things like "Lumme Captain, that ammo train looks like a ripe target..". And the German soldiers would only ever say "Achtung, Spitfueur!" or "Donnerwetter! Schnell schnell!"

Seeing these planes takes me right back to my early teenage years.
