Version 1 Scenery Work Complete

After more than two years of development, we have now completed the scenery work on version 1 of the Virtual New Haven route. Now it's on to testing, bug fixing, and finally work on the rolling stock pack and scenarios. So it'll be a little while longer until version 1 is fully complete, but the end is finally in sight.

Our plan for version 2 is to extend the route to Hartford, CT. While this is only a few more miles from the version 1 terminus at Windsor Locks, the complex track layout and urban setting around Hartford will make this a major undertaking.

Below are some more screenshots of the latest scenery developments in Springfield, MA.
