Are there any differences between this and the previous VRC store release?

Can we look forward to the release of other the other liveries down the road?

VRC U30C vs. Steam U30C

Unread postby JerryC » Thu Nov 03, 2016 2:57 pm

Some improvements were required in order for the unit to sell on Steam. These include:

- Older Adirondack type trucks on the Clean unit.
- Crewed and non-crewed locomotives (non-animated)
- Improved weathering on the dirty unit.
- Lens flares.
- Various small fixes to in-cab controls and sounds.
- The ability to start the locomotive using the xbox controller.
- Restoration of the "Ctrl-S" screen shot.
- Bogie sounds.
- Mandated scenario changes as well as a new local switching scenario.
- VRC made 90-100 ton coal gondolas.

Enjoy!

That SP U30C in the video. Is it going to be released as a DLC on T&D/Steam?

The video was tongue-n-cheek, showing what it has taken to get to this point. As for it's release, I can't really discuss that at this point. It's a big unknown.

Now, that being said, if any you have purchased the Steam version, you know that it did not come with the Conrail livery. If I can get a couple of computer savvy Steam-purchasing victims, err, volunteers, I may be able to rectify that.

Congrats on getting this released on Steam! For those of us that already have the "original" U30C, will our Chessie version work in Workshop scenarios? Thanks!

Honestly, I do not know the answer to that question. I really don't know anything about the Workshop or what you even do with it.

I believe the answer is no. This is because Steam will look for the dependant products to be installed and it will not recognize the direct sales version of the U30C.

The WP U30B will not work with the steam version, correct?

The file paths are different so yeah.
