NWM preview

[mumrar]

Just have to say what a fantastic time I've had on this with only one thing niggling me. With exception of a handful on the route (I mean possibly 2 or 3), all of the left hand curves seem to be canted over the wrong way.

It is testament to how superb and accurate BVE/openBVE are that it spoils some of the reverse curve sections I used to enjoy tooling around. I've not seen this mentioned on any other forums, so just thought I'd see if I'm incredibly anal or it has bothered/been noticed by others.

It wasn't actually that hard to fix. Unlike other routes, the NWM have the routess laid out in sections that are referenced as required by each diagram. That means no matter how many different train versions run over it, the files which describe gradient, curve etc. only need to be edited once.

I just opened them all up one by one in Wordpad, searched for "curve -" and then removed any "-" signs appearing after the curve radius ie:

.Curve -4000;-35
Is now
.Curve -4000;35

And that's it, job done (when you've edited every .txt file in the Railway/Route folder!). I may do some that simulate tilting just for the hell of it for the Pendo and APT, an initial test was very entertaining and accurate looking/feeling.

Must just add how brilliant this updated version is, a new standard has definitely been set!!
