I have purchased Victoria but cant get it to work... this is my first purchase so ive probably missed something.

ive downloaded the installer and allocated Victoria to my machine but when I try to "start a new simulation" I see nothing in the select simulation list... where/how do I get the sim to work... have I not unlocked it properly and therefore it isn't shown in the select simulation list... im stumped!!

Any help gratefull appreciated.

Which Victoria (there are 3)?

Central and Eastern can be installed by pressing 'Check for updates' in the Loader,

LUL will probably be in the Download section.

Hi Sacro

Many thanks for the reply... I purchased the Victoria central version, and I have checked for updates and selected the Victoria central from the list but after that I try start new simulation, and the select simulation list is still empty!!!

Click on Start New Simulation, Highlight Victoria Central & then click next, Now highlight the timetable you wish to use starting at 0001 or 0445 & click Next, now highlight Easy, Normal or Hard mode & click Next ... As the timetable is from the year 2009 click on the downward arrow & choose the year 2000 .. if you wish Automatic Route Setting to work then leave the box ticked, un-tick it if you wish to do everything yourself ... now click next & then Click Start ... the Simulation will now run .. hope this helps & you enjoy

Hi John,

The problem I seem to be having is that when I click on start a new simulation there is nothing to select in the select simulation box, so I haven't got anything I can select, the problem I seem to have is to get the Victoria central sim into the select simulation box.

I trust you downloaded & installed "SimSig System Installer" prior to installing anything else, if not then go here to download https://www.SimSig.co.uk/File/Index/4, if so, maybe do another check for updates but leave everything ticked

Hi John

I did what you said and re checked for updates ticking all boxes and it has worked and I followed your set up post also and all now works fine.

Many thanks for your patience and help.

Sounds like your simulation has been saved under one of those obscure directories that windows loves to confound everyone with. I have sims in one directory and others have managed to be saved in another directory. At least the loader can see them and load them although its a pain when you want to save a new non-official timetable.

Hi Ray

Many thanks for your reply... regarding extra timetables etc... I think that stage maybe a bit down the line (pardon the pun!!!) I'm just glad, with the help of all the above, that I've got the sim working so I can have a go at it!!!
