Патча больше не предвидится....


Had a reply from George and seems that what I have assumed was accurate.

Below are some excerpts of his e-mail and there is a chance that we may hear more of what he is going to be up to, improving train simulations one way or the other !

I have left MSTSBin because of other interests in my life.

After all this time continuing work on MSTSBin is not possible due to loss of procedures and knowledge which has been only in my head. It would be very hard to continue and I would have to start all over from the beginning.

My binary code modifying allowed me to to make some changes and correct some mistakes but it is not possible to make a new engine with improved graphics and new properties. For me MSTSBin is a closed chapter.

Some community members are working on a new train simulator compatible with MSTS (it's called "Open Rails"), but from the beginning of this year on their web pages there has been nothing new.

It is horrible trying to preserve backward compatibility of text style config files or specially coded texture files. I hope their work will continue well but it will take a long time to get results.

At present I am studying examples of game cores for DirectX, am solving quotations for train dynamics and parsing MSTS files.

I don't know if I can achieve success, but I'll try. I'm dreaming about really realistic looking scenery in a train simulator.
