What a surprise! Thanks to Damon for the announcement, Anthony, Steve and the others who was involved in this wonderful project.

From the screenshots I can tell it is a project that is out of this world. I like the crescent moon as seen on the night version!

X-City North is still progressing with 50% completed as mentioned at Railsimroutes. Looking forward to that release soon!

BVE at its best so far, the new features make the route almost believable in real life, stilll shocked

Well, I'm sure that we didn't expect anything less than excellent from Anthony so none of us will be dissappointed with this fabulous piece of BVE. It's hard to imagine how the old version could be improved, but there is so many things that have been updated and made the scenery much more realistic on the large screen.

It's great to see the class 37 finally released and given a special to run down the main line. The installation instructions and the cab timetables are also extremely professional.

Congratulations Anthony, and your team, on another milestone in BVE.

Boy Anthony has been busy, he must have worked so hard to get this just right.
It is excellent, I could not have wished for anything better.
I really like the experimental night run, this is what night driving is all about, just a shame there is no way at the moment to light the panel up or have a headlight.
Well done Anthony and others involved.

The 37 is also great, just listen to that thrash. Well done Steve and others involved with that.

I was thinking the the same jason, the way the night route and even the tunnel sections on the day routes are the most realistic ive seen. It does make nice difference not to see the white tracks of of other BVE routes in these sections, and i hope the same type of effect is used on BVE's LU lines, it makes a big difference! and it tests your skill even more as u can barely see the track and calculate your trains tradjectory I was so impressed that when approaching BNS i almost forgot there was an AWS magnet in the tunnel section just before the signal that indicates what platform you will be arriving at! *almost forgot* :P

Thing is, just as soon as you make it pitch black, someone will kick up about that... a high percentage of fog could work, and with the glow feature you'd still be able to see the signals.

Errm... straight along the track in most cases :P

Actually, the night run is best tackled in a darkened room (really - give your eyes a minute or two to adjust before driving it). The panel will be visible enough to drive and you'll see Anthony's lighting effects much better. Just don't forget where the keys are when the AWS horn sounds!

RE: Cross City South For BVE4 Released

did i say tredjectory? i meant velocity x( (along with the help of the speedo) I guess your right tom i can imagine a handfull or maybe two handfulls of people saying "its too dark" although realistic lighting effects on this route are amazing

Just when you think you're catching him up he pulls ahead again!

I travelled over xcs a couple of days ago and i am astounded by what he has achieved.

well done!

RE: Cross City South For BVE4 Released

What a stunning and brilliant piece of work!! I especially like the timetable feature in BVE4 that alerts you to upcoming route features.

Thanks everyone involved for a truly outstanding route that sets a very high standard!

RE: Cross City South For BVE4 Released

Many congrats, and thanks to Anthony and all concerned - it's a real treat! - If I can be a bit naughty here though, I see the 158 started in Hereford - Is that a sign of things to come!!? It would bring back fond memories!

A bit of trivia; I notice from my 1952 Odhams Road Atlas of England that the line at Redditch originally came from Evesham way? Now that would be a challenge!

Yeah, it avoided the Licky incline.

I just finished reinstalling my PC and after installing BVE again, I noticed this new(updated) route :-)

Great piece of work :-)
I'm myselve a traindriver in Belgium and the only thing that I can say about the behaviourr of the train is : IT's LIKE A REAL ONE :-)

whow, I'm very impressed, I lost 2 minutes and 38 sec on the journey due to AWS failure and VIGILENCE error ... :-( whoops

sorry guys :-) yes a real train driver forgets sometimes his vigilence ...
