I have created this site to allow me to post my Microsoft Train Simulator creations to the Web. At the moment I am
concentrating on two areas of development:
- a C++ program to edit and create .eng and .wag files in windows.
- loco.ace files
The program will offer a visual interface for editing these file types, thus hopefully making it easier to generate and
edit these files which seem to me to be a nightmare to read..given that the MS ones are inconsistent and randomly ordered!
Why they couldn't have used XML for these file I don't know...would have made parsing so much easier! :o)
You may ask why I am working on loco.ace files, well so many of the locos that I download seem to be missing them, and for
me it seems pointless to spoil a perfectly decent creation for two penneth of tar! Where possible I am under-taking to make my
own loco.ace files for these trains, using edited in game shots. Hopefully, as I am sending the files I create to the loco's
creators, the new versions they produce should include them, or at least prompt the authors into doing their own! :o)
(fingers crossed). To further this aim I am writing a tutorial on how to create the files which should be available very soon.
All the loco.ace files I have made are available in the Downloads page.
