RRYard's HSC Scenario Pack 2

 

Good day Drivers.
I put together another little scenario pack, that includes 2 new standard scenarios, for the Horseshoe Curve route.

For more info and to get it, visit my site here:

RRYard.com Magazine Issue 02

 
Well, it seems there's been lots of interest and some good feedback in regards to my RRYard.com Magazine Issue 01. So, I went ahead and have already made Issue 02. I used some of the suggestions I got, and this issue is bigger and better with more content that hopefully people will find of interest.
You can get the magazines at the following link:
http://www.rryard.com/rryard_magazine.html 

In Issue 02 features a review of the Hunslet 0-4-0 Diesel Locomotive, a little shunter with a lot of character. I've also created a little scenario-pack-addon that makes use of it. You can get it free from my website here: http://www.rryard.com/hunslet_spack1.html

There's also a "RailWorks Quick-Reference Keyboard Template", a tutorial for people into route-building on how to add a turn-table to a route, and a list of RailWorks-related website links.

I'm also holding a little Screenshot-Competition in which I'll post my top-3 choices from the submissions in my next issue. More details on that on the last page of Issue 02 (which will probably be out sometime in May). So, grab my RRYard.com Magazines, then get busy driving some trains in RailWorks and snap a scenic screenshot. Cheers! :)

Greetings fellow RailWorkers.

I hope you all had a good Easter weekend and the good Lord has smiled his blessings upon you and your family.

Well, sometimes life has kept me fairly side-tracked these last few months, so admittedly I haven't been making as much progress on my RailWorks projects as I wanted to. But these last couple of weeks I've been back to working again on my Western Wildwood High-Speed-Route project. I'm slowly making some progress on it, but there's a lot more work yet to do. Unfortunately with life sometimes keeping me occupied with other things, developing this route will take longer than I had thought originally. So, it takes as long as it takes. I'll give more updates on that project soon.

Anyways, to help me get back to being more active with my involvement with RailWorks, I thought I’d try making a little magazine that would feature tidbits of news, reviews, tips and other related info for RailWorks3/Train-Simulator2012.

The magazines will be in PDF format. You can get from my site at the following page:

Cheers!  :D 

RRYard's Scenario Expansion Pack 1 update.

I've been a bit side-tracked with some other things in life lately, but I'm back to working on some of my RailWorks projects again.

Some updates to RailWorks had caused some unforeseen problems with some of my scenarios in my "RRYard's Scenario Expansion Pack 1" addon.

But I think I've fixed all of the issues that I was aware of and have now packaged version 3 of my of this addon that includes these updates and fixes.

Here is a list of the issues that have been fixed:

*The "Bath Water" scenario sometimes would not register the task of coupling the two coal-hoppers at Norton Hill Colliery Siding 7. This issue has already been fixed in version 2.

* An update to RailWorks has added misplaced buffers on some parts of the Hagen to Siegan route. The scenario "Hagen's Wagons" has been edited to work-around the misplaced buffers that conflicted with one of the instructions.

* An update to RailWorks has caused "A Thorn in the Sidings" and "Container Mover" scenarios to not properly register when completing unloading freight instructions (Unloading of Coal-Hoppers and unloading of container-cars). This issue has been corrected for these scenarios.

* An update to RailWorks has caused a pathing error with an AI train in the "A Thorn in the Sidings" scenario which could cause the scenario to end. This issue has been fixed.
--------------------------

If anyone had got either version 1 or version 2 of this addon and would like to get version 3 which includes the most current updates and fixes, then please send me an email to don@rryard.com , include your Name and Email address that you originally used for when getting the "RRYard's Scenario Expansion Pack 1" addon.

My apologies for any inconvenience. If I can be of any more help to you on my end, just ask.
Thank you and best wishes,
---Don.

RRYard's HSC Scenario-Pack

Greetings Drivers.

As a free Christmas gift to my fellow RailWorkers, I've made a little scenario-pack, "RRYard's HSC Scenario Pack 1", which will add two Standard-Scenarios to the Horseshoe Curve route (a Passenger-Run and a Freight-Run).

I've played-through and tested these scenarios myself, and they work good on my end. But if encountering any problems, please let me know.

For more details on this scenario-pack addon and to download it, visit my site at http://www.rryard.com/ and you will find it listed in the "Routes and Scenarios" section there.

I hope you will enjoy them. Merry Christmas all, and see you on the trains! :)
