I'm trying to find out which version of the Simsig Loader Base Software that I'm using as it has to be one of the old versions. Also, in which folder on the PC/Laptop is the executable loader situated?
Can someone shed any light please?
Regards
Neil W

Version is shown in the bottom left when you first open it, and also under Help > About if you're running a simulation.

If it's in the Start Menu, you can right click > More > Open File Location, this will open a folder containing the shortcut.

Now right click on the shortcut and go to Properties, the Target box will show the EXE that the shortcut points to. The "Start In" box should be the folder the EXE is sitting in.

I must have a very old loaded then as the info is not shown at all when opening either my Bristol (ver: 2.202.0.0), Exeter (2.227.0.0) or CScot (2.207.0.0) or any others.

Should I download the most recent loader do you think, and if so, would these versions still work on it?

Thanks

Those aren't Loader based sims, they use the old standalone combined Loader/Simulation system.

Exeter and Central Scotland are available on the new Loader and should be in the Download area above,

Central Scotland is under Payware, Exeter is under Donationware > Western.

Bristol currently isn't. Hopefully in time it'll be brought up to date, but these things take time.

As Sacro said, those aren't Loader simulations, they're stand-alone .exe simulations.

To install the Loader, download and install the System Files here: https://www.SimSig.co.uk/File/Index/4

To install the simulations, start the Loader and click 'Check For Updates'. You can then either install everything, or select which simulations you want.

Full Installation Guide here: https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=usertrack:install

Bristol hasn't been updated to use the Loader yet; the version you have is the latest.

Central Scotland isn't (the old version has been left in there), Loader simulations should be installed as detailed above.
