Train Simulator: Armstrong Powerhouse Class 90/Mk3 DVT Pack

The Train Simulator Class 90/Mk3 DVT Pack, developed by Armstrong Powerhouse in association with Waggonz, is a meticulously crafted collection that delivers one of the most comprehensive and value-packed rolling stock experiences available. Every detail has been carefully considered to create an authentic and immersive simulation of the British Rail Class 90 electric locomotive alongside the Mark 3 Driving Van Trailer (DVT). With a strong emphasis on realism, this pack stands out for its extensive features and dedication to historical accuracy.

The Class 90 comes in an impressive 17 liveries, including DB, DBS, EWS, First ScotRail, Freightliner Grey, GNER, Intercity Swallow, Intercity Mainline, ONE Light Blue, ONE Dark Blue, Red/Black, RES, RFD, RFD Revised, RFD Sybic, Silver, SNCB, and SNCF. The Mk3 DVT is available in four liveries: Intercity Swallow, ONE Light Blue, ONE Dark Blue, and Red/Black, each complete with a full set of nameplates for the Class 90 locomotives. Players benefit from detailed internal and external audio, accurate physics modeling, and a prototypical braking system combining rheostatic and air brakes, enhancing operational authenticity.

Additional features include random locomotive faults to increase the challenge, a speed set cruise control function for ease of operation, and a cold start option for those who prefer a more hands-on experience. The Mk3 DVT is fully featured and includes a ‘universal’ version designed to be compatible with less advanced locomotives, although this version is supported on a limited basis. The pack also offers ‘Quick Drive’ consists for four of the included liveries, providing players with ready-made train setups to jump straight into the action.

It is important to note that this pack is not compatible with external controllers such as Xbox or RailDriver, and it is optimized for use within the standard Train Simulator environment. With its exhaustive feature list and attention to detail, the Class 90/Mk3 DVT Pack from Armstrong Powerhouse offers both casual players and dedicated enthusiasts a richly rewarding and highly realistic rail simulation experience.
