Loader V5 Released!

Hi there!
I'm just a bit confused as to whether I have installed version 5 of SimSig correctly or not?
The reason why I say this, is because that when I click onto the loader, I now get the page that says at the end, says: Press next to start the upgrade?
There is no 'next' or start icon on that page to click onto?
So, if I press the'X' icon, it says abort the upgrade?
If I press no, it returns back to the page again; if I press yes, I then get the loader, with the SimSig options, and the updated version 5 in the far bottom right hand corner.
I have clicked onto this, then all the time table amendments and simulations have appeared scrolling right down to all the listed simulations.
Another thing I am not sure about, is that when I look at my licenses, it now says that I have 'none' even though I have quite a number of SimSig simulations already installed!
If I press the allocate icon, I have noticed that all the green lights for my simulations on the loader, goes to yellow and then says that I dont have any licenses for them?
I had requested an "unlock" which took just a short space of time to get them back, so the yellow lights, have now gone back to green lights again!
So it does seem that my simulations have been restored, but I'm still not sure if I have missed something out?
My simulations are still working ok as it happens, but whenever I click onto the loader, I get the same page again to inform me that I have to press the upgrade icon again?
I do have the new formatted version on my simulations, the Piccadilly simulation as one example that now has the new branch line to Victoria from Water Street Junction, which wasn't there on the previous Piccadilly simulation; so with that, have I correctly installed version 5, or am I still missing something here?
Look forward to any advice or suggestions that you can offer me!
Kind regards to all!
Keith Palmer.

To be honest, there is so much that is factually incorrect here that I wonder whether you have actually fact checked your own comments. And that's not even counting the non-factual, ie subjective, things. Suffice to say I do not believe it's worth my time addressing all the incorrect points in here.

I must confess to never using the overview.

Which ground frames cannot be opened by right click on the "N"?

if I set the speed back to normal

I know about N, it's setting it back to whatever fast speed I'm otherwise playing at that is harder :)

Press 'F' to accelerate to maximum speed; you can revert to your standard speed at any time by pausing and unpausing, and it will drop back automatically after 5 simulation minutes.

I know, I meant when I'm setting the speed to something like 3 or 4 times, if there are a few trains but not many. :)

And you have the +/- keys. Three or four presses ( or whatever) of + key should get you where you need to be, possibly quicker than opening a menu however that's effected.

Ooh, now that one I didn't know. Thanks!

Apologies if this is already inside this thread, but is there a way of amending the way that the timetable pop up appears when a train description is clicked while running a SIM on the new loader....?

On the previous loader, if a timetable was open, clicking a different train would close the old timetable and open the new one in the same place. The new loader does not do that, and instead opens another (very large) new timetable in the middle of the screen instead, while at the same time keeping the previous timetable open. Not sure what other people think, but I am used to positioning the timetable window adjacent to the main view, so it is easy to follow the route that needs to be taken, which is useful if you are not familiar with the layout. Instead, I am now finding that I need to close the old timetable, and continually move the new one out of the way so I can see the track layout to understand what route I need to set.

Is there a simple way to set it back to the old way of viewing this, or is this something I am going to have to learn to live with.....? I've checked through the F3 options, but can't seem to fix it.

Thanks.
