I quite enjoy looking at the Splashscreen photos when I start a sim. The only thing is, I don't know the locations of quite a few of them. At the moment I am running a Central Scotland timetable and it would be nice is a knowledgeable person could advise me what each location is even though some are obvious. I have noticed that the locations of some of the Motherwell Splashscreens have been give, but not all of them and I think that a few of the Exeter ones are as well, but again not all of them.

It's in the manual, just a bit hidden. Here's the page: https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Media/Wiki/%2Fsimulations%2Fcentralscotland%2Fcentralscotland_splashscreens.pdf

If you have downloaded any of my Motherwell timetables, you may have some extra splash screens in which case the details are in the timetable help pdf. For CSCOT my splash screens went out with the sim itself. Bill Log in to reply |

In the case of Motherwell, if you navigate to the Motherwell folder (C:\Users\Public\Documents\SimSig\Simulations\Motherwell), the splash screens are saved there and their names describe their location, e.g. "Splash Newton north end" Most manuals, though not all, include a listing of splash screens, again navigate to the simulation's folder to find the file name to match to the descriptions.

Yes, I am aware of the Motherwell folder that you mention above, but there are several photos that don't have specific locations given as I mentioned in my original post above. I shall look in the manuals, probably some time tomorrow, to see what I can find

Oh dear. A memory failure once again. I actually copied the text from that document and pasted it into a new Word document and that was only yesterday!
