    Already playing. Usual AP stuff. Smooth ride. A pleasure to drive - ahhhh! Cannot understand why OldVern doesn't play this stuff. Best there is on the market. Beats TSW hands down and is infinitely better than Farming Simulator.

    What does it matter. Let it go. Lets just chat about TSC stuff.

    Enjoying this pack. Why does it feel so right running these versus the TSW equivalents? The feel of the scenarios with all of the well thought out AI trains just feels more realistic.

    Respectfully

    You are using them. It does not bother me. In my opinion this forum is about exchanging ideas, not trying to peacock!.

    Came here to read about the new DLC encountered pretty much nothing but off topic arguing. No need for it!

    Anyway, looking forward to getting back from holidays and downloading it. HST is my favourite train and it'll be nice to have them all up to the latest AP standard.

    Discovered some missing assets on AP Bedford Line. Guessing this is all part of the latest TSC update miss. Hopefully DTG can resolve this soon. Looks like some basic RSC track markers missing. :(

    Disable signatures in preferences fixes the problem. DTG should limit the font size for signatures as it is just anoying when reading forum post.

    Back to the topic :) I have both of the previous packs and I will buy this pack as well. I hope we get so see more content from AP for TSC in the future.

    Hopefully a bundled pack will appear at a special price some time in the future.

    What could we still wish from AP?

    My dearest wish would be an up to date Deltic pack.

    AP hasn´t done bundled pack before however you do get a discount on the remaining packs if you own one pack.

    How do these packs compare with the separate HST cab update packs when you solely concentrate on in-cab driving?

    Time for me to go over my HST collection, enhanced by AP sound packs and Major Wales's (?) enhancements?

    Speaking of Major Wales, is he still active in improving/enhancing TSC?

    The cabs are much better than the the upgrade packs. The sounds and enhancements are also much better than previous packs,

    As for MJW, I think he has mostly stopped development of anyhting for TS. However, I have seen that he has been updating some older packs recently.

    Must admit now having the whole collection of the new AP HST variants available have, yet again, taken the sim to a new level for me.
    Admittedly I am a huge fan of the IC125 series ever since they first came in to service back in the 1980s.
    I already owned the old AP Enhancement packs for each variant and was a bit reluctant to splash the cash and upgrade again.
    Oh boy am I glad I did.
    These latest releases from AP have really nailed it for me.
    To have the Valenta, VP185, and MTU variants, all up to this top grade standard, compared with the original Kuju versions is a huge leap.
    The look and feel of the new cabs are an absolute delight and as for the sounds and physics ....... absolutely spot on.
    Just my opinion but well worth the investment if you are a regular user of any of the HST 125 variants.

    Of course. We can back to the clag and roar of the VP185 engines now :)

    All the screenshots are taken from the scenarios included with the pack. Probably gonna complete my collection and get the Valenta pack too now...

    The Valenta pack is just a die for. Volume up to 11 and enjoy.
    You may even get a discount as you now own the VP185 pack.
    (as an aside looking at your screenshots you might need to address the non showing of the AP TimeOfDay files to the route you are running, am happy to PM or move to new thread to discuss further)

    Yeah, I get that on this route sometimes. Sometimes, the AP track doesn't show up. Sometimes, as you can see, the AP TOD doesn't apear properly. A quick reinstall usually fixes the problem.

    To anyone who wants to buy 2 or more of the HST packs, but the MTU and/or Valenta engine variants first, then get the VP185 pack (or add them all to your cart). Then, you get a £10 discount on the VP185 instead of a £5 discount on the other packs. Just noticed this ;)

    Morning folks. Whew we had a lot of reports on this thread at the weekend which is surprising.

    Just to clear things up; we don't currently have a rule about bold/large text in signatures as I've seen a couple of people adopt this in their profiles. I'll check in with the team on this, but if you make a report please make sure you're only reporting the same thing once.
