Train Simulator 2012 Gameplay – A4 Pacific Class Add-On [VIDEO]


Although I have already published a video of the A4 Pacific Class Add-On for RailWorks, today I have decided to release another using the recently released RailWorks 3 – Train Simulator 2012 software and the update provided for the A4 add-on.

Below is a video of the footage I captured and you will certainly notice the difference in graphical quality as the shadows and lighting in particular stand out wonderfully.

Please note that the sound in the video cuts out a little at times, but this is down to the capturing settings not the rail simulator!

For reference, here is the original video from RailWorks for comparison:

    Hi James,
    Train movements seem slightly jerky – does this happen on real gameplay. The images of the A4, especially inside the cab are too dark to make out what is happening – is this due to how image was captured? – I suppose real game play image is much enhanced.

      When capturing gameplay footage from a PC using in my case Fraps, the framerate and ‘jerkyness’ as you put it is affected.

        Dear Mr.Woodcock Sir,
        I have Spent Hundreds of £’s and Hundreds of Hours so far, trying to remove All the Stuttering that Occurs in Railworks3!
        I came across your Website through the A4 News on “JustTrains” – And I have almost EVEEEEERRRRYYY Add-on that they Do.
        Indeed, in General, it is Possible to get a “Natural Effect of Running”, Upto 74mph, on the A4’s etc., Without having to Spend as much as I have – My Purpose has been to Prove the State that even a Moderate System can Look Good!
        The Various Standard Settings on the Initial Screen, and the Option Settings in the Game, Coupled to Video Card Settings, all have enough Choices for ANYYYY-ONNNE!
        Now, I have a few more Tricks up my Sleeve, that I am Currently Investigating and If I Ever Get to Perfection, I’ll Post the Results EVVERRRYWHERRRE!!
        The Sticky Point just now is that as you Run along the Track, Scenery in the Distance Constructs itself, and Stalls the Video for a Moment. So, I am playing with my QUAD Cores to try to Build the Distance in Smaller Stages, and Also I would like RailSimulator.com to Remove Scenery that we have already Passed (After Saving the Scenario of course).
        So, if Any-One has any Ideas how I can Achieve my Goal, I would be Happy to Hear From.
        With Kindest Regards
        Pentacone Peter.
        PS:- My Friend Clive, has the, “Top of The Range” Gaming System – Worth Thousands, and His is No better Than Mine!!
