it is because it is a beta file, that is still be worked on but has been released in its current state. this means that it is going to be buggy and will not be perfect.

I think it's a zip because it's a beta simulation. Wells said: Having Problem downloading itCan you be a bit more specific? Which bit can't you get to work?

Does anyone by any chance still have the NLL scrolly sim on here? There is a game on which I would like to join but since I changed my PC I don't have the files and can't get them in the downloads section. If someone has them and wouldn't mind letting me have them then please email to This text is hidden because you are not logged in. Then I will be very glad to receive them.

This should be made available generally. The paged NLL is really old now and is IMO unplayable because you have to continually close the TT popup between each request.

It's not generally available as the developer of the sim is still working on it in between working on other sims and having a life outside of SimSig (But inside of the pub!!).

" said:this means that it is going to be buggy and will not be perfect.The paged NLL has many more bugs (mostly affecting the Stratford & Reading Lane Jn fringes) than the scrolly one. As such, it seems a strange decision to hold back the scrolly version because it would be buggy. AJP in games Log in to reply |

It's not being held back because it's buggy, it's being held back because it needs to be upgraded to the latest loader specification which isn't a 5 minute job

Okay, so we release the beta version and get slated when people find issues with it? At the end of the day, the dev building the sim is upgrading it to the latest loader and is not going to release it until it's in a state that he is happy with, a state that people would accept

I always thought it was well received by the forum at the time, with several people writing up timetables that where compatible with the extra bits compared to the paged version.

I don't really get the impression that the quality of initial releases of sims have changed much since betas stopped being released. Last edited: 02/02/2015 at 08:44 by Danny252 Log in to reply |

I don't really get the impression that the quality of initial releases of sims have changed much since betas stopped being released. If a sim is released as a Beta then I would expect it to have bugs and wouldn't complain about them (other than reporting them so that they can be fixed). A public beta shouldn't really have any showstopper bugs though. If, however, the sim is released as a normal sim then it is reasonable to expect that there aren't any bugs - at least nothing glaringly obvious - and those that are spotted after released are fixed quickly.
