=======================================================================
Description:

This pack includes the ECS metro train imported to Prague, capital of
Czechoslovakia, in 1974 from Soviet Union. It's been running till 1997
on 2 of the 3 Prague's metro lines.

The blue version is the russian counterpart - type E, as it can be
seen in Moscow, Petersburg and Budapest metros among others.

The model is handmade in 3D Studio MAX, hence the imho nice
antialiasing and shading. Those dots on the sides of the roof are not
aliasing problems, but air intakes. Yes, the model is detailed. ;)

I've included a metro station as well, which unfortunately accepts
all kinds of cargo, not just passengers. I've tried, but Locomotion
has hardcoded rail station cargo types. :(

In version 3.0, the 81-71 train was added, the successor to E/ECS. It
features both Prague and Moscow liveries. E and ECS will now become
obsolete in 2007 and 1997, respectively.

Version 3.5 brings the 81-71M train, a modernised version of the
original 81-71. Currently running on Line A in Prague, it is planned
to replace the old 81-71s on Line B. Also new is the addition of the
metro starting sound and a "=M=" prefix for all the trains, so they
can be easily found in the scenario editor.

The last and newest Prague metro train, the Siemens M1, is included
in the final 4.0 package.

4.01 has a small bugfix, train ordering now works perfectly (driving
carriages are always on the ends and carriages inbetween).

4.02 changes the E, ECS and ECSG trains to be single units and they
will face opposite directions when coupled. I also bumped up the
reliability to 96 and added a section in the readme on how to
improve the reliability with my trains. As an added bonus, I've added
the 81-71M prototype train (white livery), which is currently running
on line B, transporting passengers.

4.1 - all trains now have separate bogies, which is mostly visible in
tight curves. Next, as pointed out on ttdrussia forums, the E train
is in fact the EZ train, so a rename of the DAT and the internal name
was necessary.

4.2 - added the mysteriously lost 81-573 trainset destined for Teheran.

4.3 - updated with the Vodafone livery of the Siemens M1.

4.4 - fixed weight of the ECS graffiti version and did corrections to
the Siemens M1 Vodafone paintjob.

4.5 adds the russian modernisation of the 81-71 train, the 81-71.6K,
and the Maracaibo version of the Siemens M1 train. The latter uses
overhead wires instead of third rail and doesn't run underground,
that's why I've chosen for it to have dark windows. I've also updated
the 81-71M unit with better graphics and limited the Vodafone M1 livery
to the year 2007, as in real.

5.0 brings the czechoslovak prototype train R1 that was supposed to run
in the Prague underground before a political choice saw it replaced
by the ECS trainsets from Russia. The pantograph version, R2, planned
for the Bratislava light rail system is included too, as well as its
company colours version. Furthermore you'll find the Warsaw 81-71, the
Kiev 81-553 Slavutich (similar to Prague's 81-71M) and the 81-71.5M
Krasnaya Strela from Moscow. Fixes include proper sound for road
crossings, overhead sparks position on relevant trainsets and incorrect
double bogies (static and moving) on the Moscow and Prague 81-71s.

5.1 is a small service release that ends the era of 81-71 trains in
Prague in the year 2009 and adds unique sounds to the three M1 units.

Version 5.2 includes the prototype livery on the M1 train that only
existed as a model and the famous ARDO colours on the 81-71.

Updated graphics on the ARDO 81-71 and added service units from Moscow
(81-580.1) and St.Petersburg (81-581) in version 5.3.

Added Moscow's 81-71 retro train and Prague's Siemens M1 in the KB
advertising livery, along with a company-coloured Siemens Metro
unit inspired by the abandoned M2 concept for Prague's line B.

A small update to 5.5 to complete the advertising liveries on the M1
train - the blue Citibank from 2011. All the M1 trains are now
non-obsolete, so you can build a colourful metro system at any time.

TRSTATM.dat - metro station, similar to Prague line A stations

trackst_earthslopes.dat - trackst for earthslopes installed already

=======================================================================
Installation:

Copy the .dat file(s) into your locomotion\objdata folder and select
the train(s) in scenario editor.

For the metro station, backup your trackst.dat first! Then copy
the TRSTATM.dat into your objdata folder. Now, if you're using
a clean Locomotion install, copy over the trackst.dat from the
without_earthslopes folder to your objdata folder. If you have Steve's
earthslopes installed, use the trackst.dat from the with_earthslopes
folder.

Remember to backup your original trackst.dat if you ever want to get
rid of the metro station! Unfortunately, every station needs to be
coded in the trackst.dat, so that's why we're replacing it. Now just
select the metro station in scenario editor.
=======================================================================
How to get improved reliability or no breakdowns:

Download the Locotool Wrapper from the following location:
http://www.locomotion-fanpage.net/index.php?page=DatabaseItem&id=112

Start the program, select what version you want (improved reliability,
no breakdowns, no obsoletion, etc.) and then drag and drop the train
DAT file into the upper empty rectangle. You should get directories
with the modified DATs, simply copy them into the OBJDATA folder
and overwrite the default ones. ;)
