Complete layout of the high speed route
joining the cities of Marseilles, Nimes and Valence (LN5): Marseilles-Valence
230 km, Marseilles-Nimes 140 km, Nimes-Valence 170 km.
Detailed reproduction of SNCF signalling
system on standard sections and TVM430 cab signalling system on high speed
sections.
All tunnels, rail and road bridges and viaducts modelled.
Detailed reproduction of Marseilles and Nimes
areas: main and secondary stations, yards, depots, workshops, junctions.
TGV stations and viaducts modelled after plans
and/or photos.
"Scenerization" of most areas along
the route (buildings, vegetation, car traffic).
24 TGV Duplex/Reseau/Thalys activities and one
introductory train ride.
V2.1 – V3.0 history
1. Major rework of the LGV layout using
high speed curves.
2. Additional smoothing of slope
variations.
3. Curved viaducts (Ventabren, Avignon,
more).
4. Tunnel fixes (Vinsargues, Avignon).
5. TGV station fixes (Aix-en-Provence, Avignon).
6. Major rework of Marseille St Charles
station area.
7. Revision of junctions and associated
signals.
8. Signals, platform, naming fixes and
more.
V2.0 – V2.1 history
1. Detailed reproduction of SNCF
signalling system (standard sections and LGV).
2. Complete revision of type and
location of signals.
3. Rewrite and optimisation of signal
scripts.
4. Smoothing of most slope variations.
5. Patch allowing TGV AI traffic to run
at high speed.
6. New and updated activities.
7. Many little scenery improvements
(power and signal gantries, substations, trees, buildings, car traffic, terrain
corrections).
V1.1 – V2.0 history
1.
Route
has been extended to Valence TGV station. The triangular structure of the LN5
is now complete and allows the following runs: Marseille <-> Valence (230
km), Marseille <-> Nimes (140 km) and Nimes <-> Valence (170 km).
2.
Valence
TGV station modeled after plans and
photos (3D model by Claude Jousset).
3.
Most
viaducts modeled after photos taken on the actual route (3D models by Claude
Jousset).
4.
Track standardization:
the TVM signal is now transmitted on both tracks and in both directions, so
that TGV can run either on the left or right track. You can change of track at
TGV stations, SEI, and at the beginning or end of the LGV. Switches allowing
track change at the beginning or end of LGV have been added or modified at
Marseilles (St Louis) and Nimes (Redessan junction).
5.
New
1.5 kV et 25 kV gantries with many variations, modeled after photos and
optimized for a better display speed (models by Clem Tillier).
6.
Gantry
layout with a short/long alternance, appropriate placement of gantries with or
without feeders, assembly of specific gantries for junctions, stations and SEI.
7.
New
gantries and track texture in tunnels (models by Clem Tillier).
8.
New
"f" and "Nf" TVM signals (models by Clem Tillier). Nf
signals typically protect switches and can be found when approaching stations,
SEI, or special areas.
9.
Modification
of Tuileries junction (south entrance of Marseilles tunnel): repositioning of
switches and signals, correction of curves.
10.
Modification
of Angles triangle: repositioning of switches and signals, correction of curves
and slope variations, rebuilding of viaducts.
11.
Reconstruction
of tracks between Marseille St Charles and Marseille Blancarde station and
depot.
12.
Mileposts:
real mileposts are placed every 10 km and show the distance from Paris.
13.
Added Donzere power plant and wind turbines
(models by Claude Jousset).
14.
Added
sound walls (models by Claude Jousset).
15.
Added
SEI platforms.
V1.0 - V1.1 history
1. Added TVM approach sequences for TGV stations: when you'll have to stop at a TGV station, the TVM system will warn you many kilometers before and give you the adequate braking sequence.
2. Added TGV1 and TGV2 signals in stations that give correct stop positions for single and double TGV.
3. Added missing speed limitations on the LGV: some terrain configurations (i.e. some tunnels or slope variations) require a 270 km/h local slow down. They have been placed where they are in the real world.
4. Removed light signals on the LGV. This decision has been taken because: 1. this is the wish of a vast majority of people 2. this is like the real thing and 3. a free TVM430 cab is now available, allowing people to use TVM with only freeware material.
5. Added many missing signals at the start and end of the LGV: lower pantograph warning, lower pantograph, raise pantograph (1.5 kV – 25 kV transition), Cab III, II, I, Cab, crossed Cab (Cab signal warnings, start and end of TVM cab signal transmission).
6. Added power supply cutting zones, warning signals and substations.
7. Complete rebuild of Marseilles tunnel, which is now equipped with TVM.
8. Adjustment of speed limitations in the Angles Triangle, taking into account a future extension to the north.
9. Adjustment of speed limitations on standard sections (Marseilles and Nimes areas), repositioning of signals and speed limited zones.
10. Added some "distant mountains" and other minor terrain improvements.
11. Many other small improvements (adjustment of bridges, missing gantries, etc…).
12.
Added
proper speed limitations on all sidings.
13.
Added
shunting white/purple light signals on main sidings and yards: these are 2
state signals (white = 30 km/h, purple = stop) that automatically trigger a
160-60-30 braking sequence on the main track, before you reach the switch that
leads to the siding.
14.
Central
platforms in Marseilles St Charles station have been doubled in length to allow
for double TGV.
15.
Exit
light signals have been added on all tracks of Marseilles St Charles and Nimes
stations.
16.
TVM
signals have been added on all TGV station sidings and SEI (SEI were improperly
called PRCI in version 1.0, this has been corrected: all SEI of the route are
in fact remote-controlled by the PRCI of Marseilles).
17.
Added
missing PLM route section and road passing under the Angles Triangle viaducts.
18.
Extended
the LGV a few kilometers to the north of the Angles Triangle
(up to the SEI of Roquemaure).
