The Birmingham New Street 20091015 (0445 Start) WTT, which is now downloaded by the Updater, actually has a starting time of 00.00 hrs although the seeded trains are correct for the intended 0445 Start. It would appear that this was also the case in the original 0445 WTT released early in 2015, so it looks as though another WTT has slipped through the 'Quality Control' net! Not a bug, but should be corrected as New Street is a PayWare sim. Log in to reply |

I have all my files in Local Disk (C) users\Public\Public Documents\Sim Sig\Simulations\Simulations or users\Public\Public Documents\Sim Sig\Simulations\Timetables The loader appears happy with this arrangement and I have had none of the problems that are mentioned in this thread.

If using the default locations primary folder is C:\Users\Public\Documents\SimSig Then you should have 2 folders created in that as follows C:\Users\Public\Documents\SimSig\Simulations C:\Users\Public\Documents\SimSig\Timetables *.sim files would go into C:\Users\Public\Documents\SimSig\Simulations\%simname%.sim and any picture files would go in to C:\Users\Public\Documents\SimSig\Simulations\%simname%\*.jpg or other picture files All timetables go in to C:\Users\Public\Documents\SimSig\Timetables\%simname%\.*.wtt This applies to loader sims only Log in to reply The following user said thank you: Airvan00 |

I've amended the start time of the 04:45 timetable, and I've also removed the old version numbering from the timetable name on both the 04:45 and 00:00 timetable. These are now available through check for updates.

The 'folder options' box had 4no locations listed, all of which were ticked originally... c\program files (x86)\SimSig c\program files (x86)\SimSig\ SimSig c\program files (x86)\SimSig\ SimSig\ simulations c\program files (x86)\SimSig\ SimSig\ timetables I've now unticked 2 items, leaving only \SimSig and \SimSig\SimSig\timetables ticked. This has removed the duplicate listing. It still doesn't explain how the sim was seeing and running a sim from a location which doesn't exist though! Log in to reply |

Everything is now in \SimSig\SimSig\simulations, and this seems to have solved the issue. I guess the problem has come from the loader installing items into a different directory to everything else.

Probably because as the opening post says... GeoffM in post 91666 said: As much as we strive for perfection, it can sometimes be difficult to achieve. Though I can't speak for Geoff, it's been a long time since I've dealt with timetables in the old WTT/WTR format, if I had been doing the original uploading I've no doubt I'd have missed it as well even on a double check. We can't do much more than fix things as quickly as possible once reported.

I forget the total now but something like nearly 800 files were uploaded recently. Much as we strive for perfection, we're only human, but we are fixing things as we go.
