Esem

Esem (born 10 February 1979) is the stage name of Georgi Hristov Marinov, a Bulgarian electronic music artist. Esem used to be known as the tracker musician StereoMan, a member of the demoscene group NOiSE.

Musical career

Marinov got involved in composing electronic music and the demoscene in the late 1990s, through the work of Brothomstates and Lackluster among others. After a five-year netlabel membership in NOiSE ("New Objectives in Sound Exploration") Marinov was signed up to deFocus records for his first vinyl single - "Ikae", and debut album "Enveloped", thus becoming the first contemporary Bulgarian electronic music artist to have released a music record on vinyl.

After releasing his second album "Serial Human" commercially on Merck Records, Esem moved to London where he produced the material for "Scateren" - his third album. "Scateren" was released as a freeCreative Commons-licensed download on Kahvi, and quickly became one of the label's most downloaded titles. In 2007 parts of "Scateren" were licensed and subsequently released by Nintendo as background music to the Nintendo DS game "Theta", and as downloadable ringtones (complementary to the game title). The original album remains available under Creative Commons.

Train simulator

A train simulator (also railroad simulator or railway simulator) is a computer based simulation of rail transport operations. They are generally large complicated software packages modeling a 3D virtual reality world, with 'play mode' software which lets the user interact by stepping inside the virtual world. Some, like the first Microsoft Train Simulator are written and modeled for the user mainly interested in driving.

Industrial train simulations

Like flight simulators, train simulators have been produced for railway training purposes. Driver simulators include those produced by:

RailWorks 3

Railworks 3 is a train simulation game developed by RailSimulator.com. It is a successor to RailWorks and was released on 23 September 2011.

Railworks 3 was released on Steam on 23 September 2011. Owners of the original RailWorks were automatically upgraded by the Steam platform. There are two versions of the game, Train Simulator 2012 and Train Simulator 2012 Deluxe Edition, which included the Horseshoe Curve expansion pack for free, but can be purchased on Steam as separate downloadable content.

Improvements

RailWorks 3 comes with a variety of improvements over the previous RailWorks, mainly due to the new TSX Core; a new core for the game with improved lighting, multicore functionality, and improved graphics processing. The effects apply to any item, whether designed for RailWorks 3 or not, though much of the stock for RailWorks is slowly being upgraded for Railworks 3. As of late March 2012, the Glasgow Airport Rail Link, Edinburgh to Glasgow, North East Corridor, Portland Terminal (from G-Trax), and Horseshoe Curve Have been Done.The Pennsylvania GP7 and F7 locomotives were the first DLC to be configured for TSX from release.
