N.S103 Immersive Shed Experience No. 1 - Riviera Line in the Fifties - Exeter

A Free Roam with a difference - around Exeter St Davids shed experiencing various steam locomotives.

Route: The Riviera Line in The Fifties
Duration: 10 minutes - to as long as you like
Scenario: Free Roam

Inspired by heyjoe, an idea I have been thinking about is now a reality.

What is it? A Free Roam where you have a mix of AI and Free Roam, where you can take over from the AI or sit back and watch what it is programmed to do.

Also you can hover over some of the engines and just be in or outside the cab, to view or watch as the AI goes past.

If you decide to hover over AI you then control it and can finish the programmed event or try something else.

A passenger train entering the station can be enjoyed from another train entering the station. You can use the Free Camera to roam around at anytime too of course.

So these are the following ways to enjoy this scenario:-

1. Use the Free Camera at the beginning to just roam around and watch.
2. Hover and join an AI engine and control and then complete it's task.
3. Hover and join any non AI engine and change points and go where you want.
4. When any AI engine has completed it's task, you can join it and then choose somewhere else to go.

The main idea is to move around near or within the shed to experience your own 'shed bash' that trainspotters used to enjoy - with or without a permit!

I am very interested to know what everyone thinks about this idea.

I want to specialise in and around sheds on all the routes, where appropriate.

Note:
1. If you do join moving AI, it is best to complete the task or the engine will stay making sound as though it is still moving.
2. Some engines inside the back of the shed cannot be controlled.

Press Esc to exit when you feel you have finished your session.

Have fun.
