Hey All, this problem involves Wembley Sub (V2.1) and WMSCC (1.4) when I was writing the TT for the upcoming WCML chain, I aimed to chain Wembley Sub as is a fun 1 player challenge, and I've even made a groundhog day TT for it! I fired the 2 sims up in multiplayer as on both sims it says "WM" Sigs on Sub and "WS" on WMSCC so being they are updated to show each other I guessed they'd chain but upon booting them and chaining them the Down road works without issue but the Upside is missing a TC and trains disappear when attempting to pass between Sims. I understand the Sim is rather old but wondered if there was a plan to add in this missing TC? Otherwise, I'll have to find a new sim to chain! Thanks In Advance    Post has attachments.

So is this a rectifiable problem? or one that may take, a fair while? shame if it doesn't work its a nice little sim!

It requires an update to Wembley Sub in order for it to chain to Wembley Main. I can't put a timescale on that unfortunately.

Another note: I see you're using your external IP to chain to another sim on the same computer. You should be able to use 127.0.0.1 as IP to connect to a sim on the same computer to get rid of network lag.

We've been chasing this one for a while now, 4 years to be precise. https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Forum/ThreadView/41344 Log in to reply |
