Not very nice of me I accept, but nonetheless looking forward to the OS X version!

Cheers, NeMo

Hi NeMo, I didn't know that they were working on an OutSized X rated version.

OK, , , where did I leave my coat?

Now I know why the Diesel fans go on about "Big Blue"

Just doing some experimenting with a new wagon for a future update. Artwork isn't final (this is just a quick test using coder art), but hopefully should tie in with the new NGF Wagon

We're working on the German set, but that'll be a future update. It'll be faster than a Dapol update though

And a squadron of rocket firing 'Tiffys' appearing unpredictably, just to add to the fun?

I have downloaded the game, and love it. sometimes I get confused if I have started a new game or continuing an old one. But it defiantly does the job.

5stars well done!!

Great wagons, I love 'em!

The 1.01 update is out now so should be showing up in your updates soon. NGF tanker in the next update and Mac version coming soon!

Railwaygun · September 05, 2015, 07:14:04 AM

Do iPad users have to pay again for the Mac version?

Also - for V 1.2

Could the train set direction buttons have a lock ( ie set speed and take finger off and speed setting remains - then one can simply watch them go around!

2) did you consider a Controller knob instead of the vertical arrows? Perhaps for train set mode / or shunting mode.

3) Although I would prefer left/ right pointing arrows - up and down is not entirely logical!

4) I hope that the NGFtanker will have the URL ON IT??

Nick R

Many thanks for your efforts!

Yes, the Mac version is a different store so you'd have to pay again if you want both versions (it's actually something I've suggested to Apple in a feature request to have the ability to sell Mac apps with the iPhone version bundled). Although for the combined cost of under a tenner it's still a bargain.

I'm looking at various alternate control options. We settled on the simple digital forwards/reverse buttons as the easiest to understand for non railway gamers but I was also considering a 'realism' option of a regulator and reversing bar but a model railway style dial is another good option.

TTrainz

how can we share game scores between Mac/IOS /android/windows versions?

the Roco Z21 DCC controller can send a data file as an email attachment between devices, allowing them to allow users to use different devices as controllers.

could you implement this( or similar)? i don't want

to play my Mac version all night to get back to my iPad /iphone score??

That's a very good point. The Game Center scores (high scores and achievements) should already share between the Mac and iOS versions but I should also be able to share games via iCloud once I've implemented that.

You can already share level codes so you can give a friend a code for a level you're playing to see if they can solve the same puzzle faster than you.

That's great about the NGF wagon.

I just told my wife who said "wow!", so it has her approval as well! LOL

I can't upgrade the game, or several other Apps, but I suspect that is because I don't have the latest OS version that they released a month ago.

Keep up the great work.
