This text is hidden because you are not logged in.

Shame it doesn't allow you to just download the PDF.

If you can't download it, there's not much point uploading it in the first place.

What is the point of sharing something publically and not being prepared to allow people to download it? Are we not trustworthy enough?

Just saying...
Sorry guys, I am in the business of making people wait!

Especially as it does not seem possible to zoom to a resolution that's of any use.

Is this the diagram in which I found 70-something errors?

Seriously, get it right.

ETA: While the Google thing supposedly prevents downloading, doing one very simple and public action causes it to download in order to achieve that action. No underhand tactics, hacking, or anything else questionable required. Very bizarre and somewhat defeats the object of that "do not download" field!

And the very act of viewing it downloads it to your computer anyway - so the only way to stop people from saving the data is to make it totally inaccessible!

This is even more seamless for audio, where you can just record what your sound card is playing and rarely notice a difference.

Maybe the reason Google does this is to make it clear that the "do not download" thing really doesn't protect anything? I don't know.

234 posts 		Can I ask what I guess is a daft lady question (!!). I have just bought Feltham (my17th)and I am enjoying it...but.Is there any reason it plays from left to right? I think all my other sims play in the direction of the say a rail map. It would be easier if Clapham Junction app was on the right and the loop and Eton were on the top. anyway that my tuppence worth.

Which way round a sim is will have nothing to do with a map, take Wembley mainline, Euston is on the right as that's where it is on the real panel. Rugby on the other hand has Euston towards the left as that's how the real box has it.

It was a hold over from an older version of the forum, I've sorted that now, but unfortunately the original link doesn't work anymore.
