There is still issues with the downloads area after the site has migrated, not sure on a time scale yet as to when this will be fixed.

However your issue sounds different and I wonder if it's Windows saying the certificate is out of date, which you can override at your end and allow them to install.

These should all be okay now, as well as Coventry, Central Scotland, and Derby. If there are any I've missed please let me know.

Not sure if this is the same problem but Birmingham New Street is hanging at 1727/1750KB and then timing out for me.

No, Headshot, it's odd - downloaded all the ones i'd either paid for or donated to and they were all Ok apart from those listed.

I did get the usual Windows 10 "Do you REALLY want to D/L this file" every time, but on the "yes" button all excpet the list were fine.

Will have another try during the week if the downloads have now been stabilised

Please can you give details about what you're trying to do? When you click to download a file, you should choose to save it. Once it's saved, copy it over to the simulation's timetables folder (Public Documents/SimSig/Timetables/[simulation name] for Loader simulations, Program Files (x86)/SimSig/[simulation name] for non-Loader simulations) and then start the simulation to run the TT.

Can you narrow it down to one download please?

I am thusfar unable to download and install Coventry (pictures attached). The download completes but the app cannot run on my computer. Also a number of timetables will not finish downloading. Cscot 1984, none of the Wimbeldon timetables and several other will start downloading but never finish and stall at a random percentages. Additionally some downloads link to what appears to be the actual program language for the timetable which won't download. These issues persist even when using the right click ---> 'save target as' method.

Additionally some timetables will download but cannot be open as exampled below.

It's possibly because Coventry is an unsigned exe which will take a little longer to fix.

i have now managed to download the file i intended too, not sure why it was playing up, I've now noticed another issue while playing the 'SX May 2010' file however... none of the slow services that should appear on the Up main slow are appearing but i'm not sure why, they exist in the timetable and i don't have the 'up main slow closed' options selected.

would anybody know what i might have to do to resolve?

You've posted this under a general heading - what Sim, version number?

It's probably not validating the timetable for some reason- run the validator in the timetable options and see what it comes up with.

I think the problem is that TimeTable is designed for the pre-loader version of waterloo (the old paged version) and as such the entry and timing points are different. The TT you downladed has *.wtt and *.wtr files. in the loader you now only have the *.wtt file.

Apologies, I realised my mistake this morning when I re-read my post.

In answer to the question I'm trying to play the SX may 2010 timetable for the very latest version of Waterloo (I downloaded it Sunday morning just gone). When I get a chance I'll run the TT validitor.

Thanks for all replies so far.
