In the latest edition of Train Sim Magazin, my reviews for the London to Faversham route with Class 395, GWR Manor Class & Class 3700 ‘City of Truro’ that are downloadable content for Train Simulator 2013 have been featured in the German magazine:

GWR Manor Class

Train Simulator 2013 weiß schon jetzt mit einem beeindruckenden Angebot an Downloads zu überzeugen einschließlich der großen Eisenbahnen der Vergangenheit. Mit der neuesten Ergänzung, der Manor Class oder Class 7800, wird diese Tradition standesgemäß weitergeführt.

My recent Strathclyde Class 101 Review for Train Simulator 2013 is now available in English within this free digital download magazine:

In 1956 – 1959, the Class 101 Diesel Multiple Units were built by Metro-Cammell at Washwood Heath in Birmingham, proving to be one of the most recognisable locomotives of its era due to its fantastic success and only being withdrawn as recently as 2003. Upgraded from a previous Class 101 pack, it now features the Strathclyde Passenger Transport (SPT) livery. With its bold orange and black sides plus bright yellow front, the Class 101 for its age is still an attractive piece of transport heritage.

Each operating system will have its own distinct look and feel. Graphics and navigational methods will vary between competing formats and your challenge is to replicate this experience throughout your own app wherever possible.

Think Simple

People who use app capable devices are not always your typical technological stereo-type. The portrayal of nerds and geeks have been associated with technology enthusiasts for many years. More recently with the widespread appeal of gadgetry, talking about the world of transistors, capacitors and diodes can even be classed as ‘cool’ by the very same people who a decade ago would have scoffed at the thought.
