This is Version 1.93 of a Train Driver Simulator, simulating
Class 87 Locos working on the West Coast Main Line from
Euston to Glasgow.
I originally wrote this program for my own use, but I have been persuaded
by friends who have played it, that it was suitable for public release.
I wrote this program with the excellent Blitz2 because the
other train driver simulations advertised for fifteen or twenty quid (UKP)
in the railway mags, are generally text based, with limited options
so I wanted to write a program that made you feel that you were
actually in the cab, and one in which the train behaved realistically,
with proper moving graphics, unlimited options, and was freely available.
This program is aimed at users with a little UK railway knowledge
but anyone can have a go.
Changes since V1.9
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
o Trains updated to Summer 1996 timetable
o Minor bugs fixed
SPECIAL NOTE
************
This is the last freely available version of TrainDriver.
TrainDriver 2 combines the Route Generator and TrainDriver WCML
into one program including the WCML data files and is shareware.
TRAIN DRIVER 2
==============
Modular Train Driver Simulator by Paul Robins available September 1996
Following on from Train Driver 1.9 and TD Route Generator, this new version
combines them with many new features, to allow loading of any route with
details.
New features introduced since TDRG 1.1
* Semaphore signals plus 2 or 3 aspect colour light signals
* Guard, station and signalman speech (requires DEVS:narrator.device WB2)
* New scenery inluding buildings and fir trees
* Scenery colours and height defineable
* Trees configurable
* Double headed locos
* Double tracks for loops, platforms, Slow/Goods Lines.
* Signal route indicator now displays any digit
* Random loco failures
* Weather seasons
* Variable fog visibility
* Reasons for delays displayed
* Changing train load whenever train stops
* Loads timings, route and loco from saved train automatically
* Improved sound effects
* Tool Types for Driver, Vigilance, Speech, Clock speed, Confirm Quit etc.
* All known bugs fixed with extra error checking and requesters
Many loco and route data files are being created.
See Price List for details.
Loco files are compatible with TDRG but Route files are not.
Loco data includes start, stop, run and horn sound effects and data file
with loco names etc.
Some locos also have nose and window shape graphics, and a rev sound
effect if appropriate.
I confess to knowing little about the operation of steam loco controls and
the Steam loco uses the same controls as other locos but has pleasing sound
effects with simple graphics.
