3D FULL Equip Popov Locomotive

[nicober]

HI!

An electric locomotive extremely well detailed both from the outside and inside.
Not only a 3D cab fully functional but we can enter in the loco, upright and open the doors, get inside and access to the driving cab. You can start the engine cold, open and close some panels, activate several functions and run it. Finally we must close everything, turn out the knobs and go outside. A bit like this happens in reality.

Admire the refinement of detail of this russian EP2K.
See these two videos full from our Russian colleagues, it's definitely worth a look.





What more to say!
In plus, available in freeware. I downloaded and installed it.
The problem is how to operate in FULL3D? The instruction manual in PDF is write in russian and naturelly it's cyrillic alphabet
I ask me also, if there has not been some modifications of the OR code ?
In the cabview folder, we can see a DLL - EP2K.dll - Is this file can stay here or to put in one OR or windows folders?
To make it works in traditional maner in OR, I make some few simple changes in the ENG folder.

The sounds are write like this:

RTSExteriorSound ( "../../tro_EP2k-Alias/Sound/tro_ep2k-eng.sms" )

I rewrote it like this:

comment ( RTSExteriorSound )

Sound ( "..\\..\\tro_EP2k-Alias\\Sound\\tro_ep2k-eng.sms" )

And it works like this.

Same thing for the sounds in cab, but that does not seem to work. Why? I don't know!.

For the cab although a specified path to the cabin, there isn't no CVF file in the cabview folder.
Therefore, I wrote a CVF file and took 3 screenshots for the cab in 2D view without commands.
Since OR doesn't like the CVF file with only 3 views, I added 2 digital controls, a clock and a speedometer.
At least as I can still use it in OR pending to learn more about the possibilities to drive it in FULL 3D.

WONDERBAR!

Holy Toledo! I can't help with the language barrier, but that's some amazing work!

Where can this be downloaded from ?

That, is amazing. How does one get THAT camera view, and can it be applied to passenger coaches?

I have seen that video before. I think it is a Russian alternative to MSTS along the lines of OR. OR currently does not have the full 3d cab capability in the same way as shown there.

I remember a work on a russian locomotive some times ago, May be the same adapted for OR possibly. Don't forget the licence for Open Rails is Open GL and any body can add some changes on the program. and on OR there is an option for a 3D cab, Remember I said there is a DLL file in the cabview folder. I think these file is not here for nothing. These two videos are made recently and put on Youtube -the first the 17 may 2014 and the second the 7 may 2014. Also many files inthe engine and cabview filders are dated in may 2014.

To Komachi - I don't know how their cameras work.

To rrroberttt - You can downlowd these locomotive from TRAIN-RST-OR - no need to be member but everything is in russian.

There are many EP2K locomotives, and cabview & songs are in the cabview file tro_EP2K_alias.exe + instruction manual.

Wow! That's unbelievable. Wouldn't it be nice if .................

I think you make allusion to this topic and this video posted by GoGoran, the 7-7-2010.

It's not the same locomotive and it's really a patch for MSTS and not OR. Also only the cabview and some other animations are in use but not to go inside the locomotive. This is a diesel TEP70 and not an electric locomotive.

Cheer!

Looking at the russian site for that EP2K, the locomotive is designed for something called RTS. The OR offering from the site is 2ES10 freight locomotive.

The video I recall was earlier this year, and is exactly the same as the one in your first post. That is I think showcasing RTS. The fact that an RTS model will run in OR shows the commonality between the two sims. However, the OR offering from that site does not include a cab of the same complexity as the EP2K.

My dear nicober:

What keys we must use to "can enter in the loco, upright and open the doors, get inside and access to the driving cab. You can start the engine cold, open and close some panels, activate several functions and run it" on russian EP2K locos?

Thank you and best regards.
