Thanks all, all comments and thoughts appreciated. Especially kind of you to offer help Paul, but I think I am sorted on the rails sounds. Yes,...
Some progress this morning, with Beattock track (a derivative of Woodhead) I took a little DMU drive and am pleased to say the familiar ker-plonk,...
Alas, I don't have those, and it would restrict users too. I might look at the Woodhead track, I got that working in another of my routes with a...
Yeah, right, convince me. I've spent 8 hours on this so far. There are many traps for the unwary, I take it you are not unwary. Does yours look...
The other half is as good as finished, but it is based on a different version of the original route. Sigh . . . John
Platforms are not found in the same place as the ramp ends as they are "loft" objects which you can create to your choice of length and with...
Dovetail have done their best to confuse us! Its really hard to explain. Its probably best for your health to not to worry about it . . . John
Ah, but that would require me to start again from scratch. That route is as good as finished and I will turn my attention to making it available...
Thanks, Cyclone. I'm not sure I understand your last line, but I don't need to. You have given me the answer I was looking for. Ta muchly. J
Folks - really grateful for all your input but I am starting to get a bit dizzy with the mention of "branded" and "unbranded". I hope there isn't...
Thanks, sounds brilliant but it will probably take me thirty days rather than thirty minutes. But best I learn because the other end of the line...
Hi folks, I agree, it does cut people out! It is just the way things panned out - the decision to use the old route was there because I started...
Good morning! Those interested in steam-era routes may be interested to know that my "backdated" Llandudno to Holyhead route is now available. It...
You've got me there. If Iron Horse House had ever released a Derby Class 114 it is extremely likely I would have bought it. On the other hand...
DMU-wise, major gaps are Cross-Country (mentioned above), Intercity and Derby Lightweight. Sadly, whilst there are developers jumping on top of...
The message is telling you exactly what the problem is! Service 3 is in the way. It may be a case of priorities (try changing the train class) or...
Agreed I sound a bit harsh against Armstrong Powerhouse, but the point was intended to be made against a range of developers - I can think of...
To some extent, a lot of recent ground is being re-covered here, as I instigated a fairly lengthy discussion asking similar questions about the...
Good moaning! Unashamed plug . . . As a Winter Solstice gift for those interested in steam-era routes, I have opened a new web site today to...
That's not difficult. Decompile any one of the scenery tiles bin files with serz (or editor of choice) and search for the word "vegetation" in the...
That's interesting. I have experienced that for a long time with the original trees (and other things) but changed my settings to those in the...
The manual tells you the settings to use to avoid that: To keep the shimmering effect to a minimum that comes with high resolution vegetation,...
Me too! There seem to be contradictory opinions above. If the AP vegetation automatically replaces the "ugly DTG 3D balloon shaped trees" (which...
Good day, I am considering making purchases of the Armstrong Powerhouse enhancement sets over several months: Vegetation Enhancement Pack Sky &...
It is a warning of a potential disaster, so it is worth eliminating. The editor will tell you which are the consists concerned. All should ideally...
Hello, If you are in the scenario editor you should not be able to move any parts of the route itself. But you can add various types of item,...
I think some of those statements are a bit extreme. I personally prefer to use a single, or few, track rules. I'm not sure why that would be...
Nah, they are the two lights on the rear . . .
It isn't right to say "can't" when it "can". At least two routes have done so, and their developers must consider it acceptable, even if not...
There is a junction on super-elevated track in the original Woodhead route, and several in the West of Scotland Lines route, so it certainly can...
Waypoints don't, correct. What you suggest is what I meant. John
Place a marker and put the message with that? John
I didn't say anywhere that any of the locos I illustrated are not IHH models - you are putting words into my mouth. You suggested the Class 29...
Unless I am missing something from your needs, I think I can answer this one. Steam Sounds Supreme market the Ivatt 2-6-2T model by Skyhook...
No. [ATTACH] John
[ATTACH] Other colours are available . . .
Ten years or ten minutes, it doesn't matter - it cannot be claimed that nobody has made one. John
That's not quite true - somebody did indeed create one (Iron Horse House). Like so many Train Simulator products it is no longer available - you...
They aren't really a team, it is one person. You just need to be patient, I don't think he checks his mail that frequently. John
And accessible to non-subscribers too! Shhhh. Has anything been done for other BMG locos? I note Royal Scot sounds are available from Steam...
That's where I finally looked after all these years! I do have a soft spot for these locomotives, even if I am more of a steam buff. To prove I'm...
Thanks, that's brilliant news and it didn't cost me a penny! But I need a slap on the wrist for only "scan-reading" the requirements....
I am looking for an early-liveried AC electric loco (class 81 to 86, or AL1 to AL6 for old fogies like me) for use in the background as AI in...
Hi Andrew, Depending on the size of a route, it can take a long time to save anything track-related as it will completely re-compile the route. I...
It might just be that something unusual (like the Garratt) will sell better than the unpteenth version of an A4 class Pacific, for example, or...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We can use Train Simulator in different ways. I prefer to pretend to be a train driver, not a combined...
Ah, you did know something I didn't! Sounds interesting . . . Thanks. John
Upcoming? It was done long ago, but is set in the 1980s. Unless you know something I don't know . . . John
Ha ha, were you paid to say that? It sounds nothing like a Black 5 for a start . . . I haven't seen this "enhancement pack" but one can assume...
I said earlier: Oh, well, as of the above post I realise we aren't talking about free enhancements . . . John
