Eastleigh Area Simsig? 05/11/2016 at 20:31 #87208

Hi all

I was on a railtour today and noticed a chap playing a Eastleigh area SimSig or looked like it from a slight distance on his laptop. It had Southampton Central, Fareham and Winchester areas on it. Looked very good. I thought I'll download that when I get home and thought no more of it. However I can't find it on this site nor any trace of it? Maybe a sim in development?

Thanks
Justin F

It's an old pre-Loader sim. I still have it, Southampton v3.2.3, but it no longer seems to be available in the download area.




Of course, there may be something new in the pipeline....

Firstly, welcome to SimSig.

There was a SimSig for Southampton Central but that seems to be no longer available. As for Eastleigh that was, at one point, developed but it got leaked. Nothing more heard of it for a few years as far as I know but it would be a shame if it has been abandoned: it would have made a good release.

Southamption 2.201 (which is the latest mentioned on the Wiki) is available here https://www.SimSig.co.uk/File/Edit/960

Though I too appear to have 3.2.3 with an installation date of the same date as Wiki gives for 2.201 - so maybe Wiki is wrong.

No, it's packaged as 2.201 but built as 3.2.3

That link throws an error, the error response is also missing.

I've managed to download it with my Admin and non-Admin username so it seems to download OK.

Forget the link, just go to the download page: it's there.

Eastleigh only exited as a leaked development copy, and is not publicly available. Only Southampton which covers a smaller area is available to download.

I did so, then downloaded it and installed it. But when I tried to start it I got three error warnings instead: I have attached them to this message as image files.

I, for one, hope it will eventually emerge so I hope for the best.

That's not quite the same as it not being available and the link not working.
Anyone else having the same problem?

Have not heard from Darren for a couple of years now I think about it. I believe he got married and that was that! Others may know more.

Many thanks everyone for your help on this. I am most disappointed it's not available but hopefully one day it will be a new release. Living in Basingstoke I have much more interest in my local railway lines. I love the Westbury SimSig, many wasted hours over the years playing that addictive sim ha ha :D.

Thanks
