No, it's just that NR have laid the outer tracks further away, in compliance with SimSig's style guide! :whistle:

Is there an actual written PDF Simsig Style Guide? If so, is it possible this could be released, so folks could use it on the layout designer programs, and I'm sure it would be an interesting read anyway

The Style Guide is actually a page in the Wiki but it is in the Developers' Area. However, the Guide is not restricted viewing so Geoff has allowed me to post this link. I have also added a link to the Miscellaneous section of the User Information section of the Wiki.

PS I thought the pictures in the D Mail link at the start of this topic were out-takes from Pascal's photo gallery :lol:

What is the fascination with layout designers? Doing a layout isn't going to help in producing a sim - it doesn't include a fraction of the necessary data, and a sim author is going to want to do his own layout work anyway because of various factors which won't necessarily be obvious (or mentioned in the guide).

I'm not so sure. I actually drew Holyhead panel out in notepad before I implemented it in the sim, it's a lot easier to make quick changes and get a feel for how the panel will look.

I think the reason behind this Clive is so that others (not myself) are able to fantasise or appreciate looking at a 'SimSig' layout of an area which has yet to be released. There are a few examples of mockups out there and I think it's just so folks can still admire and dream without obviously being able to play the sim itself.
