SCARM - Simple Computer Aided Railway Modeller

[Mixy]

No, SCARM is not able to run simulations with trains. But may be this will be realized in the future

cool, will it at least have static trains to use?

Creating a full 3D model of a real loco is difficult task. But if you want to check (for example) how many coaches will fit in length on particular track at the station, you can create a rectangle with the length of a single coach and then copy and paste it along the track. May be in the future I will spend some time to create a loco and several coaches but I am not able to tell when

Thanks as always, Mixy. Love your work.

I was wondering, do you foresee SCARM being "finished" and out of beta any time soon, and if so do you plan on keeping it free?

[Mixy]

I have to implement several important features before SCARM reaches final state and I hope that version 1.0 will be ready till end of the year. For now I have no plans to make it commercial, but there are more and more users, who wants more and more features, 3D structures, support, cross-platform run, etc. and I am not sure how will find enough time and resources to keep it free. May be I will start a donation campaign or will put more ads on SCARM website – don’t know yet

Just as long as it doesn't go from simple to complex! "CCARM" doesn't have the same ring to it. The only feature I feel is missing at the moment is the ability to manually terraform instead of using figures to manipulate the landscape.

I for one would happily donate if you give the opportunity in the future.

well I do love the program and will continue to beta test it to help you out!!

I found SCARM earlier this week and want to give a big THANKS to Mixy for creating this great tool. I looked at several other RR modelers but to just create next year's Christmas layout (I don't have room to keep it up all year) this provides the perfect solution. I'm looking forward the all the additions I read about and hey, this layout creating is becoming a hobby all by itself! Awesome job!

Downloaded Scarm today tried to use it keep getting an error message Exception EGL Context in module scarm.exe at 000BC879.Context activation failed: 0, the operation completed sucessfully. It wont do anything else, any suggestions Mixy ?

Have you tried reinstalling the program? I run Windows 7, and when just trying the program out, I got an error message as well. When I reinstalled the program, it ran fine.
