There should shortly be an update released (4.3.1). Users should be aware that there are a couple of significant changes which have required the timetable to be amended. The problem related to ARS and the way I'd coded the paths which, for some reason, no longer worked as previously. I just alert you this fact as it will mean existing saved games and timetables will not work out of the box. They should be able to be edited to make them compatible once loaded. The two main changes are to add in specific reversing locations for ECS in Whifflet loops and behind 405 at Motherwell, and a minor change in Dalzell loop. John (Postal) has kindly amended the 2006 timetables and also made some recasting and added-in the crew change stops. These will be V4.4.1 timetables and will be available through updates. Note that the analyser does throw up some warnings but, subject to confirmation, we think that they are the result of zealotry on the part of the analyser rather than something that need concern us.

To amplify what Peter has said, the 2006 TTs have been revised following lengthy study of the WTTs for the year. The changes of substance are the inclusion of crew changes where the data is shown in the WTT and adjustment of several of the Class 1 TTs to make some stops set-down only in the Simsig TT where they are shown in the WTTs (mainly at Motherwell and Carstairs). The TTs have had over 100 hours of testing so I am hopeful that the errors have been minimised but it is a manually entered TT so there will still be some typos or errors. Please report them here so that remedial action can be taken. Finally, as Peter notes the TT analyser is showing 17 warnings. 16 of these refer to crew changes which are booked at the likes of Bellshill and Holytown. Now that the crew changes are an action in the TT the analyser is reporting that it is unsafe to have actions at the relevant locations because they are not set up by the developer as key locations. Peter is aware but the amount of work to change these locations to key locations would be substantial and the warnings make no difference to the operation of the sim/TT. The 17th. warning refers to the morning Pendolino working to Edinburgh to form an Edinburgh - Euston service. This runs as an ECS working from Polmadie to Carstairs (5B11) where it forms 1B11, Carstairs - Edinburgh. There are 2 incarnations of 5B11 in the TT as there are two paths in the WTT depending on whether the set needs to be turned to put the first class at the rear from Carstairs. 5B11-A and 5B11-B both have an action of N 1B11. The analyser takes offence at this and complains that when it gets to 5B11-B, 1B11 has already been used for 5B11-A. Again no impact on the operation of the sim/TT. Hope you enjoy when the re-release is pushed out. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Last edited: 02/03/2018 at 09:36 by postal Reason: None given Log in to reply The following users said thank you: BarryM, MarkC, Hap, Ardmaraig |

I hope this update sorts out the 2EXX services which turnback at Newton. After the service has left the turnback and sits on the platform 1 at Newton, it wants to go in the wrong direction. All the 2Exx services want to do that and there are a lot of them. I refer to the Motherwell 1984 timetable (set correctly in the 1980 era).

A valid point, was been impatient that I didn't read the first post on this... I'll happily wait.

No worries, I thought this update was to fix that, hence reporting them again. :-) back to good old fashioned signalling...and a reinforced scroller on the mouse. Ha!

Andrew G in post 106477 said:Hap in post 106476 said:Might just be my system, but I can't be doing with the hot keys. The Motherwell diagram is taller than my screen so I run things with the main view manually maximised and scrolled down a few pixels so I can see what I need at the bottom of the screen. If I use a hot key I jump to the right place laterally but it scrolls the screen back to the top and I then have to scroll back down to get the screen in the right position for my needs. Drives me round the bend so I never use the hot keys.and a reinforced scroller on the mouse.

John, you need a 27 inch monitor. It fits the sims perfectly. No scrolling up & down. Cheers Barry Barry, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Log in to reply |

The physical size of a monitor does not correspond to a certain number of pixels (though there is presumably a correlation). Also, I doubt that most people aren't inclined to spend at least £100 just because Motherwell is a bit too tall! Last edited: 06/03/2018 at 09:54 by Danny252 Reason: None given Log in to reply |

I got two 22" TV's and planning on adding a 3rd next month  The only sims I need to scroll up and down on ever so slightly is New Street and Marylebone.
