3984 posts 		I think I've discovered a couple of bugs while preparing a new timetable:


  • At Stonehaven, you can't wave a train back into the Up Sidings because there's no way to move the points. This also happens at Carmont. Mechanical locking is disabled, and the 'extra' TCs have not been added.

  • Perth Muirton is only available on the Up line, i.e. you can't reverse behind P191- is this correct?

  • P46 changes shape when a route is set into South Sidings- the stem jumps over the rest of it.

EDIT: Sorted that one, works fine if you have further locations specified.

Thanks.

Just found another one, I'm afraid: trains can't get from the Up Main to Arbroath Down Goods- they drop to 0mph before entering TAH2041.

3984 posts 		There appears to be some paths missing at Carnoustie: Carnoustie> Carnoustie (Rev) CA15 doesn't work, and neither does Carnoustie> Carnoustie siding.

Sorry I keep breaking the sim!

Recenetly fixed

    • Good question, not programmed but maybe it should be.

    • OK now, must have fixed sometime ago.

    Can't find a problem on any of the versions I have, though I did notice Wiki says 3.238.2 is the latest but I have a 3.238.3 release build - something not quite right.

    Stop-it...... No seriously it's fine.

    Looks like the installation is 3.238.3 but the installer is labelled 3.238.2.2

    The sim thinks LK12 (Laurencekirk Distant) is in the Longforgan area.

    5402 posts     		Thanks, I'll have another look at the original McSim shortly I think. I've had a problem converting Edinburgh to loader but I may just re-release individually rather than as a set as I'd planned.

    I'm not sure if it would have an effect on buying- the simulations have been released for two and a bit years now, and were the first payware simulations!

    In terms of buying them all or individually, there's an incentive in the form of the Multibuy that gets you all four (Cowlairs, CScot, NEScot and Edinburgh) for £5 less than getting them each individually.
