Came across this old but interesting article: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/09/23/the-flare-path-the-man-who-listens-to-trains/
I notice there’s an awful lot of typos in the Academy dialogue boxes. Perhaps they can be proof read prior to the next TS release?
Was just wondering about this. I have the AP weather pack installed, and notice it rains inside Glasgow Central.
Thanks Eric. In terms of FPS, I was just wondering if it was noticeably low or now. My laptop (bought for admin really) can only manage 4-7 FPS,...
Eric, what are the specs of your laptop, and what FPS do you have?
Seems a lot of places unrepresented. I guess it just depends on the importance or historical/pictorial significance of the route.
In Scotland I believe that honour goes to Peterhead - population 18.5k.
Well spotted. They can both be winners: Aberdeen largest in GB, Belfast in UK!
Likely, but possibly also one unlikely to be on DLC. Here we go: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_steepest_gradients_on_adhesion_railways...
What’s the largest British city or town without any DLC representing its station(s) on TS? My nomination: Aberdeen, population 230k, the busiest...
Which are the hardest stations for a train to depart from? (Thinking inclines making it harder for a longer/heavier train.) So far, I’ve only...
Plenty of tourists do! Both the countryside and urban areas are of interest. Someone used to mountainous Highland scenery could equally down on...
I’m no expert, but I think a PC will always be better than a laptop, all other things considered. I have TS on my laptop and on a PC. The PC has...
Over 10GB just reclaimed! Many thanks, Peter...
Cheers, will have a look. I desperately need to reclaim some space. Every time I run an AP .exe, I have to bypass Windows security dialogue.
I can’t seem to mix non AP coaches that came with particular routes outside them, but I experimented with a mixed bag of AP coaches: Mk 1s, 2a,...
You buy it directly from a third party website, Sharon, so it’s not on the Steam store:...
If I remember a chain is about 20 metres, I can cope! Here’s a map showing distances in miles and chains.
I think it is, based on the track plans, and block measurements.
That’s what I thought, but something was telling me that’s an odd combination.
I just received this handy reference book today, and notice that distances are given in miles and ‘chains’. Are chains a particularly rail...
As far as I can see no. There is no Aberdeen to Dundee line that would include it (there is a Just Trains Scottish East Coast Mainline, but this...
I think so, but I was just trying it out, rather than doing things properly, so that could well be the explanation.
On my second try with it today, there was no click spot for the throttle either. Had to use A and D. I don’t know it this is a glitch, but...
I’ve looked through the manuals of all the AP Mk 1 and 2 coaches I have, but nothing at all about lights. I presume it would be a scripting...
Yes: just check for you to save you the trouble! I guess as it’s all together as an MU package.
Thanks for that!
Thanks, IB. I haven’t tried any AP scenarios yet: looking at the lists of required DLC, I am not sure if I’m able to try even one of them....
Thanks, Andy. I never noticed the link for that at the door of the AP page. Looking at the list (see below image), if you have, say, a 205 or...
Does anyone else have issues with no ‘hand’ appearing on the brake, so you can’t operate it ‘manually’, and have to use the keyboard?
Is it possible to switch on lights in passenger carriages? Does it depend on the scripting associated with particular carriages? Or can all...
I noticed in my downloads page on AP that each purchase has a ‘last updated’ date under it. Does this imply that items are occasionally updated...
Thanks reef. Is it easily uninstallable, though, if you want to remove it?
Just had my first foray on the 411. It’s certainly very different from the 37 and 40 I’ve been driving the last week! Another amazing production...
If this can be done, can the North Wales Coastal be rereleased in due course, pretty please?! :)
yeah, it was a tongue in cheek comment :)
Btw, pookey, I like your AWS icon on your HUD. Where did you get that? Much nicer than the default “!”.
Looks amazing. It’s even got windscreen fly splatter like the 205 :) Seems like I’ll have to reach for my card again. I got a lot of bargains...
Thanks for the offer, Pookey, but I managed to solve it: Thinking that the radiator shutters were the only logical culprit, I experimented with...
Has anyone here experience driving the Armstrong Powerhouse Class 40? No matter how slowly I accelerate, or how long I coast with throttle idle,...
I had the 317 or 319 next on the AP list, but think this jumped to the top of the queue!
Will definitely pick it up later at some point. I was a very good customer of AP over the hols, and will spent some time learning to drive the...
I loaded a route in QD, did Ctrl E, got into the scenario editor, clicked on the left hand fly out box with arrow as instructed in the AP manual,...
I notice AP has a fuller range of MUs than locos: is that just because there are more about these days, and it’s harder to get access to older locos?
Looks great, but I think I’m going to have to wait for a sale, after my holiday splurge! when does AP have sales? Easter? Autumn? Winter?
Thanks, Matthew. Is it the case then, that a cold start 37 can only be used in a particular scenario you edited it in, and not accessible in Quick...
Was wondering if there were any Peaks available... thanks for the heads up about the 45. In the Steam list, there only seems to be lists of...
Thanks. I’m a bit confused as to how to access the scenario editor: I was thinking I can edit one of the default AP37s and create a cold start...
How many coaches did you have? Ten as well?
That’s interesting, thanks for posting. I’m amazed also at the speed difference between copying files between my two internal SSDs, and any...
Separate names with a comma.
