EEP 7 The model railroad simulation

At the front, I recommend you away Just try the demo. One finds this in the demo you are looking for 7 in the search engine of choice for EEP.
Almost everything you see in the demo, you get to see in the retail version. There are a few plants here. Worthwhile for me here:
Small crossing station
Hairpin Lauscha
Wendelstein Kurvenbrueck
But everyone has their own ideas.

With the demo you can pretty much try everything what to expect in EEP 7 before buying.

I know EEP (Eisenbahn.exe proffessional) since grandfather EEEC (Eisenbahn.exe European Class) You see times on the Internet for photos, then you see what the program has done alone in the image for development. EEEC would not do more today. At that time it was my 1st railway simulation ever on the PC that was in the year 2000th

I came "back" of Trainz to EEP.
At that time, many years ago I left EEP, because no matter what I put in my computer for hardware that frame rate (FPS) were so so low, that I gave up and joined the program. At that time I had started with EEP 2.x to build something. What I have not done to date again (but more because of lack of time). The "Start" But I'm in EEP easily by hand. And everything is hard as you know.

With Trainz I was I not happy, clearly, there is still really honestly de 1000 models and are completely free. But what I'm missing are the control options.

I have in no EEP 7 AI (Artificial Intiligenz) in EEP everything is so controlled as to a real model railroad layout by "contact points" ie circuits / circuits. Depending on where a train / car / boat / plane etc. is just it may trigger something.

That is why even the manually control a little more difficult in EEP 7.
Drive the speed is quite simple using the buttons A button repeatedly
S STOP and D several times until press braking to 0 km / h then accelerate backwards possible.

I can not tell you how in a Trainz train driver "go there now and there and do this and that". I have to design in a real small virtual circuit, then I put the moves on automatic mode you do what I set. But that is also very nice ...

Through contact points I can control everything:
Signals, barriers, speed etc.
But what I still am for the eye the most beautiful find is light and automatic turntables opening in roundhouse or doors of garages, roundhouse itself or close.
Not to mention when steam locomotives: water tanks, there flaps or water crane which then alone turns that water runs pure and alone to rotate again. Imagine what is possible once there for an operation. From coaling, water grasp, sanding and evening drive back to the roundhouse and after some time the doors close, that anything is possible.
What I previously missed in other simulators is you automatically depending on what may be happening to change the camera. They are are the director, they do not want to switch over manually from train to train? You can ... if you want. But if like me you like to watch also the automated, including the one can control with contact points which can date no railway simulation except EEP.

There are in EEP:
a free camera so that you can freely move on the plant (cursor keys, R button for reverse and spacebar for forward, it is to go faster down the Shift key to).
various Lok Mitfahrkameras

and a "cabin view camera" here mus but warning for all Leisure engineer Add that's not a full-fledged car camera a "would like" maybe. If I want for hours Playing engineer wrong program!

For partially suited to well Trainz, even better in my eyes of Rail Simulator.

Eisenbahn.exe is a model railroad simulation. Since you do not sit normally in the cabin, but is looks to the system and play with it.

I love it for my part, come home from work, open request system of choice and can be showered, because no TV program comes at me with. I can relax better just reading a good book (as graphite Ebook on Kindle DX).

Where we at the sounds would Trainz offers small distance behind the Rail Simulator the best "Lok-Sound" and "car-sound" and what is lacking both? Ambient noise.

In EEP you are, if you have tried the demo greeted by wind and shallow Vögelgezwischer. I call that sound environment. The diesel almost all listen to the same and the electric locomotives differ depending on the speed class. That's what really bugs me but the brakes sound. A good here but I can say one can replace him. There are therefore perfectly normal .wav WAVE files. A small freeware program is a small sound file and the whole is resolved as desired.

Wagon sounds do not exist. I do not miss her too.
Wind clouds cover the sun, lens flare when you look purely times directly, birds get out in nature and come in and play EEP: For EEP 7 very much was abgeguckt with Mother Nature. I feel as if I'm out. That made me even from Trainz gone. With EEP you sound when you started the first plant (even when new are still empty) totalle in Trainz SLEEP silence.

Let's talk about buying models yes in EEP 7 you have to buy, as in versions before almost everything. You do not buy anything, there is also "Free Models". Who does not want the EEP has 7 not buy. Trainz offers thousands of models for 0 Euro. Yet I sit here writing at this 5 star review. Why? Simply because thousands of models not possible to replace in the program for me through the contact points and the whole atmosphere.
Less is sometimes more.

EEP 7 must be activated, you must to register with your name, Serial and your e-mail address from the manufacturer. This activation is 5x possible in the internet and starts every year from the beginning. I made my fun and I have times with different user name / e-mail addresses all tried it worked.
After these 5x goes only by phone.

Quite a great recommendation of the disappointment I have for you, a computer games is mandatory.
That means for me:
Minimum:
CPU = 2x2,6GHz
RAM = 3 GB
Graphics card if you antialiasing and depth filtration to max. want not buy under an AMD ATI Radeon 5750 1GB or comparable Nvidia. Everything else is not fun. Operating system Windows XP, Windows 7 and 64 bit is running properly (if necessary also as an administrator). I reach here depending on the equipment of the plant between 20-60fps (without Vsync it goes from 20-well over 100fps depending on the angle) (vertical synchronization turned on so the limit of 60 because my monitor frame rate equal to one should turn on, the picture improved tremendously ). The monitor the I use these resolutions, is a 24 "16: 9 LED backlight LCD monitor with 1920x1080 pixels who as a large or has larger, appreciates EEP really sure you really feel a real model railway before him. have.

Who has come to taste, please may not rush to buy.
Just look on the home page of the manufacturer to EEP 7 (Trend) the prices of the models.
You can now also with a purchasable for money converter old EEP 6 models in the EEP program take 7 that goes on all models (depending on what says the designer to) sometimes is it also the model itself. If you have the pill swallowed with the prices, it is already supplied much. As I said "mass of models makes no investment for me out".
But you can also buy a lot after.

So if you have swallowed this pill and agree, then you look at the available videos on Youtube. As long as there is not yet the program in version 7. But some are already there. Like what you see, then you can download the demo down, slide the "message box" with the message as Shareware usual simple down in a corner (if you have opted for an automatic installation) and enjoy ,

If you then after extensive testing the demo say "Yes I want to have" then buy the program. Then you do not need any 1-Star rating here leave behind.

Who guilt is not tried the program before buying itself (my opinion).
The only thing I did not know before buying is that you have to activate it.
But you do not like Steam constantly on- line be 1x.

Right at the end For those who think the review is faked.
Nöööö it is not. I always wanted a Trainz with EEP functions because EPP had never could keep up with the image of Trainz. With EEP 7 it is the 1st time the other way around. I have reasonable FPS on my computer, it jerky and almost nothing for today jerky Trainz. Hmmm.
Does each decide for themselves.
Trainz has the better landscape editor for me there was always evil when I moved, because it just goes too fast.
EEP has a folder listing for models -the one can also manage themselves, in Trainz you have gigabytes of models and have to dig through. The window with the preview are much too small, brings us to the Rail Simulator, when I tested the, it was not even for a preview window.

In EEP have to lay the tracks in 2D, that can be an advantage but also a disadvantage.

For me as a "model railway book-Bauer" EEP is ideally suited. I can order what I once had as a child and realize invite what model railway books with fabulous photos to dream.

So that was it, you make yourself a picture. Do not rush you are buying. Everything about before / drawbacks I would have described here. For the "modeller" So the person you would like to build its own which the models, there are (still) no program for it. But there will also be soon and as usual EEP for money.

But you can also go to it, "By selling the models / programs there EEP today" as I then left the program behind me, I would have never imagined. When you
Like the program, come quickly to the point development comes at a price.

Want to know more?
If my memory does not deceive me in the DEMO to EEP 7 also a complete guide as a PDF file here. Buyer has only a Quick Start Guide, the instructions but in demo and purchase the same. And whether I get this as a file or as a pressure, honestly I print no "text" and "instructions" anymore. Dead tree .... something I look at myself in the ebook reader, who has to print it anyway. Everything is treated in great detail and the finest German. It's like almost everything in EEP very "German".

So much text writes not a normal user, or?
But when as I mastered 10-finger blind. Have fun and a good time with EEP. 7
