All of these features will be part of the Vorn's asset. For AT Members, there will be a beta release tomarrow for both Windows and Mac OS X. Screenshots will be comming soon.

OpenBVE's ET425 - Vorn is 75% Complete

Well the good news is that, progress is going slow, but almost finished. My next Step is the Paint Kit. Im currently working on the Paint kit in Adobe Photoshop CS5 and im starting on the windows and doors.

The Final Deadline for the ET425 release is October 30th. We are planning a Special Livery on both the ET425 and the LACMTA Metro Blue Line Extior Pack which will make you a little 'scary' surprise. Stay tuned for updates on the Paint Kit status.

LACMTA Metro Blue Line Extior Pack Restored!

I'm back from my vacation at San Diego, and the good news is, i have Restored the LACMTA Metro Blue Line Extior Pack!! How i done it? I've looked over all of the extior pack's installation files, and unfortunately, there was a information saying that it must have acrobat and AIR 2, then exits. But Not all of them. one had a different design that i've used months ago. it dint set the warnings. I was Very suprised! and I've restored the Pack!! For those who have trouble installing the pack, I will re-release the pack tonight.

a Bad start, all upcoming projects on hold

Last week, i have upgraded my OS to Windows 7 Pro. The good news is that I have upgraded my system, the bad news is, I HAVE LOST ALL MY DATA!! It was NOT caused by the virus/malicious software. Because we'd have to upgrade it from scratch, we'd have to uninstall the programs, and format the drive (THAT was the cause). so id have to install my own copies to the Windows 7. Unfortunately, all of the train data (from OpenBVE) all been deleted. However i was able to get the files from my inbox that Matthew Tiley (AT Main user 'wmatarailfan') and I have been testing.

For those who have been waiting for:

• WMATA Metro Train Pack (Includes ALL of the WMATA Fleets)

They will be releasing tomorrow for OpenBVE & BVE2.

Unfortunately, for those who have been waiting for:

• RC2 Of the LACMTA Metro Blue Line Extior Pack
• ET425 - Vorn
• Beta of the Hamburg 474 Series

Those will be on temporary halt until further notice. I aploigize for the inconvenience. Stay tuned for another update.

2 more trains released to AT

Well as the progress goes on, 2 more downloads has released to OpenBVE. The Rohr 1000 Series (For OpenBVE & BVE2) and the Breda/Alstom 2000 Series (for OpenBVE on Windows and Mac OS X). I would like to give credit to the AT Main Web user Matthew Tiley (wmatarailfan) for the sounds, train data, and the Panel, also another credit to Ben Schumin for the great photos for Both the Rohr 1000 Series and the Breda 2000 Series. And the good news is that AT for Sims 3 has restored to full balance. It was Shut down temporary due to a problem on the Sims 3 Launcher with the expansion pack (Sims 3 World Adventures). Another New webpage along with "AT for TrackMania" will be comming after the release of the ET425 - Vorn. Speaking of that, the new ET425 - Vorn is in progress (at least it's in it's current state). The 'Vorn' will be in 2 Versions: the USA & UK Version. I have tested the 'Vorn' in 3 Routes: Network West Midlands (Maybank - Radley Jct.), NYCTA Line 2 (Flatbush Av - Times Sq/42nd St), and the Hong Kong MTR Tsuen Wan Line (Central - Prince Edward). Tomarrow (When I get back from the LACMTA Red Line Trip), I will post 3 videos to YouTube: 2 'Ride-on' videos, 1 Trailer for the ET425 Vorn. Stay Tuned for more updates!
