OS_ATS1 plug-in for BVE4 + demo route & trains

[OSaarekas]

I've been working on a plug-in as well. It has quite interesting features such as working windshield wipers, mechanical transmission and steam locomotives.

The documentation is placed in the test route objects folder, and I recommend that you take a look at it first, as it may be very hard to get any of the trains moving without some instructions.

This is BRILLIANT!
Now we can actually match MSTS in many ways!
I love the steam engine: Maybe I will build a version of the GWR King to use this new system.
What we need now are some compliant routes.

Thanks for a great piece of work. I have already used the reverser section on a Series7000 that I am converting from MSTS to BVE. I want to try the wiper section next.

While speaking of dll's, would it be possible to have one that switches back and forth from the driver's view to a passenger's view?

Rain, real rain drops! Even in the demo state, a very nice piece of work.

RE: OS_ATS1 plug-in for BVE4 + demo route & trains

With a bit of plaging with both plugins, something has occured to me- Would it be an idea to create a common plugin, like the MSTS common tsection.dat? Alternatively, can someone write a switching utility?

I suppose a cab / passenger view change would be possible. Not sure about what you mean with the common plug-in. A train developer can choose a plug-in which best meets his /her requirements and use it.

I had an idea, Maybe you could make it play a sounds as the wiper wipes across the windscreen. You'd hear the motors and maybe the screeching of the wiper blades.

Also would you be able to release a seperated .dll file with just the window wipers and nothing else because I want to put this in my DBSO and i cant get it to work with everything else on it.

Thanks

It would be really cool if you intelligent developer people could come up with an agreement to work on all these things together, so they become common features in all trains / routes released

And what a convenient forum!;-)

RE: OS_ATS1 plug-in for BVE4 + demo route & trains

What I meant, is a plugin that has all the features in one. However, I hadn't quite understood the structure properly; I thought there was one plugin for all BVE routes & trains.
Still, I still need a ATS sunflower in my GWR King (BR Condition version).....

A (hopefully!) simple addition would be to play a sound of a rain dropping for each drop that appears...

Adding sounds to the wiper and drops would be fairly easy. Definitely v2 stuff, but let's see first if any trains using this version appear in the first place.

AWS, TPWS and "LU trainstop" are implemented in the plug-in, so I don't what you mean by needing "ATS sunflower" to your loco, unless it's different from AWS. (The sunflower can be seen in the demo steamer).

Also I wouldn't want to go into separating any functions to different dll's. If you need help, feel free to mail me with detailed descriptions of your problems, and I'll help you out.
