derailing is included?
The linux build seems to work perfectly fine. Only problem I do not know how to drive a train, but luckily found the tutorial.
Great work!
Pretty sure this game isn't updated or followed anymore, but just to note in case anyone sees, the game doesn't load anything. Only the tutorial map and route works, but nothing else does :(
Nope. The game is still continuously updated.
If you go to GitHub page of this game, the latest commit is 3 days ago.
oh my bad, i missed that. Do you know how to add tracks, the tutorial appears, but when I add other tracks, nothing turns up. I've gone into the files and put the .pck files in. they appear in the content section, but not in the play section. Any clue how to fix this? other people seem to have the same problem and aren't getting any help.
Game is broken so far, it won't even load anything besides the tutorial.
Nice work! It would be a little more fun if you added something once a route was finished or some progression into the game.
The game crashes completely when you overrun the track (which is appropriate I guess haha)
Some graphics improvements, emergency scenarios and side cameras (pointing along the side of the train instead of all the interior cameras) wouldn't go astray either!
As a simulation newbie, this has been a great introduction!
Hi Jean, I am experiencing problem with you game on android.
When i turn the game on, only tutorial track works, and when i ty to load the other tracks, the game crashes.
Can you help me with this issue.
Thanks.

Hello Jean,
Sorry that I use Google Translate, but my English is not good enough anymore.
I downloaded Libre Train Sim and unpacked everything, but can not play, since I do not know where I have to put the content, so the .pck files. The directory what Ben is displayed to me, I found on my Mac, but there the .pck files can not be reckoned. Something I'm fundamentally wrong. I would be very grateful if you could explain the installation to me again.
Thank you in advance.
Warm greetings
Andy
i have the same problem
It's very promising. Having lots of fun. I hope more people will join in with new tracks and trains.
Thanks for your appreciation!
can I use this as a base to create my own train sim that takes place in a different region
Feel free to fork Libre Train Sim!
But you have to set your own project under the same license..

Hi i m a gamdev like you. I really liked your game , maybe add some rotation effect to the wheels I think wheels were static .
I m currently making a train sim in unity , but i cant figure out turning part of train, the train just cant turn with the track , i heard we can use splines ,but there are no tuturials about it.
Hey. Thanks for your feedback.
I don't use splines. For rails it is not recommended. Trust me, I already tried it..
I programed my own circle functions..
Feel free to check my Math.gd, Rail.gd and my pdf 'how a circle is calculated'

I would love to see some screenshots of your work...
https://walllbreaker2.itch.io/train-climb-simulator
I used basic wheel colliders and motor force to drive train ..I want to add turns to make track a complete loop
Ohhh, okay.. I don't use phyisics at all...
I programed everything myself in movement of the train.
PS: Did you make the models yourself?
They look really good..
The Train model is downloaded from asset store, can i use circle function in unity?. I have used blender to make humans ,houses but its difficult to make complex models like trains in blender
Thanks!
The next version 0.7 isn't far away! ;)
Make sure to check out the new post! https://jean28518.itch.io/libre-train-sim/devlog/148737/development-update-may-2...
I will up to date with your project! Your roadmap seems to be interesting. I suggest you that you upload a gameplay video to your description.
Great to hear!
Thanks for your advice, I updated the description ;)
Thank you! Great!
Yeah, the audio channel is a bit broken, I will fix this. Thanks for your feedback ;)
