This was a fairly common sight too in the UK................usually early in the mornings delivering the tabloids and broadsheets. (All we need to...
Just did some tests with a CL66 and a rake of 18 Seacows, and then a rake of 18 Turbots, applying the brakes at 30mph. The Seacow rake more or...
I don't see why you couldn't have a triple headed formation trundling around Tees Valley? It would look quite good running through the industrial...
Ahh that gives me something new to have a play with. I'll let you know how I get on. :) Now that sounds like a good idea. Is that reasonably...
I assumed it was that so stayed well clear. TBH it's not too bad making a UK consist 1 vehicle at a time......not so sure about US though :o Oh...
[ATTACH] Locos: CL483 EMUs Route: IOW - St Johns Depot
Was this you adding a full formation (including a loco) to itself or was it just a run of wagons of coaches which you were using as a 'base' to...
Matt. I guess that are going to be many instances like this. Where locos and wagons don't work together in real-life but where, from a game-play...
Hi Matt (as this is probably one for you :)), Now that we have Formation Designer the temptation is to make really long trains. (ie 20xTEAs or...
How about Ipswich to Felixstowe as the route with working container cranes and a fully working traverser at the end? Now that would certainly give...
Just a few screenshots from 'playing' :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have definitely now had a number of instances where a formation 'fails' the very first time you create it. However, if you then press edit and,...
Some more interesting moments. I had a CL66 container formation (FKAs) headed up with a EWS locomotive. This formation worked fine (everything was...
I'd love to know your secret. I only have to think the phrase "call-on dependency" and my system crashes. :( But, seriously, I enjoy creating...
Actually it hasn't been "working really well" because you still can't get a Timetable into the game from the Editor itself (which is what the...
TBH it's a shame that the public editor hasn't really been developed further since launch. If it had, and the cooking function added, then there...
Livery Manager DOES work for TSW4 files now. (I think it is v1.1.1 that you want). Give it a go.
Oh dear. You're not going to like this. :D In the end curiosity got the better of me. So I recreated your 'interesting' formation. Now I'm sure...
It looks like this might be vehicle specific. Below are two screenshots of a CL31 & Mk1s formation. The first one has correct stats and plays...
Crikey. I'd completely forgotten about the Forth Bridge. You'd think it was big enough for me to remember wouldn't you :D
What's this? A new route that comes with a CL170 and a CL158? That runs in a loop through a part of the country where everyone wants to live. Not...
Put me down as another really looking forward to the Tees Valley improvements. What with this, Faux's timetable, Public Editor scenarios and...
Do they? That's interesting.......or I'm blind. Update.......Yes they are there. In fact I now have lots of Mk1s that I didn't have yesterday....
Engineering service anyone? (Plus a passing rake of mineral wagons). [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
No sign of Mk1 BSOs, TSOs or FKs for NTP, LPC or TTL.? (You can access the WSR coaches but this means you can't use any community liveries as the...
If this is what you enjoy then try out Formation Designer. You can create your quadruple headed train and have it spawn in an instant. Plus you...
If what you are asking is......"Can a full livery be transferred from one version of a model to another?" then the answer is "Yes". It takes a...
I believe that it was fixing the GWE HST wiper bug that has now caused every GWE based HST community livery to appear with GWR power cars only. :o
I watched Matt's video on Formation Designer late last night and he did mention the subject of loads. He said that there would be a toggle switch...
Apologies. My post could have been better written. I should have added "at the moment" to the sentence. I'm not suggesting that we won't be able...
Formation Designer, whilst not quite right, has lots of potential. :cool: [ATTACH]
You may not be so impressed with this piece of news though. HSTs seem to have been buggered up by the latest upgrade. Here is the current state...
What's this lurking round the back of Boro? Mixed Greenergy TEA tankers behind Rigsby's excellent "Sorrento". Now possible with Formation Designer...
SeacowTurbots anyone? :) (Just starting to 'play' with Formation Designer. Do you recognise these?) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I think that the naming conventions are really going to be tricky for DTG to organise. Numerous versions of the same thing, empty and loaded...
Wahay. I've got a formation in-game. :) "Sorrento" and 15 Greenergy Tankers. No lack of colour here !!! [ATTACH]
Here are the wagons in real life. Now I just need to get a loco on the front. [ATTACH]
Although I've only made 2 formations so far, but both of them have weights. (Only used the 1 wagon type though so far so I'll let you know how I...
I know it's not steam stock (although it's old enough to be) but I couldn't see 1938 Bakerloo line stock either?
Well this is great :) (3 different TEAs in one formation). Yes the programme needs improving but, for me, this is both new and revolutionary...
That's interesting and sounds very similar to my beef with Livery Editor whereby my TEA tanker liveries (NTP) only get applied to empty versions...
I tried to build the Glasgow Subway but couldn't get the hang of the Editor. To be honest I just ended up going round and round in circles.
I was trundling along on GWE in an HST running under yellows on the fast lines, at 70 mph, when I was overtaken by an AI CL08 pulling some vans on...
Waterloo & City line anyone? ;)
Apart from setting up dependencies (and I only mean the ticking the "Call-On" box) then I usually have quite good runs at it. But this one...
That sounds very familiar. In my case just trying to set up a dependency, ticking a box, requires at least 8-10 attempts. As you know every crash...
Thanks Robert. That was very helpful. Now I've just got to work out why the Editor has started to crash more often than normal, especially when...
This is probably really easy to do but I can't figure it out. I have managed to 'separate' the various windows that you view when working on...
Thanks for the quick reply. I've now got a feeling that my issue might be to do with the grouping of layers rather than with any differences on...
Quick question. Is the TEA Tanker supplied with BPO the same model, from a Livery Editor perspective, at that supplied with NTP? Only I'm trying...
Separate names with a comma.
