Potteries loop line.

Hi David,
Yes, certainly
If you need my email address, it's saunderby[AT]hotmail[DOT]co[DOT]uk

Cheers,

Ged, the files have been emailed to you. I will correct the download as soon as I hear from you.

Hi David,
Thanks.
The revised activities now pass the Route_Riter and MSTS_ActMan validations !!

As a "Belt & Braces" check, I tried running both in MSTS. For the first runs, as soon as I switched to view 2 the screen froze, shortly followed by CTD. Ran with TrainStore and, similarly, with the first run of Part 1, the same happened! Part 2 was OK. Subsequent starts with TrainStore were OK. Reverting to straight MSTS (after unstoring) both activities started OK!! This may point to a problem with my installation, or it could be a dodgy shape which doesn't always load properly. I will try with Open Rails to see if its log reports anything and will let you know.

Cheers,
Ged

Thanks Ged. Strange. I ran the unmodified versions many times in both MSTS and OR with no sign of the problems you note. I have today run the updated versions in MSTS with no problems.

If you are reading the post above you will see that I made a mistake in folder names in file 11 and have uploaded a replacement to UKTS a short while ago.

For those who have already installed the incorrect version, just install the updated version (noted as version "2a" in the download) and overwrite when asked to do so. No action is necessary with any of the other download files.

David

There is still a mix-up with file "Potteries_Loop_V2_File_11_of_11.zip". If, when you open the zip file you see only a "TRAINSET" folder it is the incorrect one. You should see a "TRAINS" folder and a "ROUTES" folder. If you have already installed the incorrect one, install the updated one and overwrite when requested to do so.

Sorry for the confusion.

Hi David, thanks for the heads up.

I am currently in the process of downloading the files.

At the time of writing there is no "Potteries_Loop_V2_File_11_of_11.zip", I take it that the updated file is still awaiting approval?

I look forward to running it, thanks

UPDATE:
File 11 of 11 is now available.

I have installed version 2 with no problems (I kept a backup of version 1 but I doubt that I'll need it)

I have run some activities over the new sections, they look great.

Yes. The following is an extract from the install instructions:

You will also need the following installed:
UKSteamTrack - Part 1 - Bogie Coach Enhanced Sound - UKTS File ID 2807
UKSteamTrack - Part 2 - Track Sound Region Flange Squeal - UKTS File ID 3218
UKSteamTrack - Part 3 - SWB Wagon Sounds (inc patch) - UKTS File ID 3290
NewRoads - UKTS File ID 6254
UK FineScale V3.1.6 - UKTS File ID 11889
Open Rails version X1.3.1-18-g62079b8a (for running under Open Rails)

Thank you for that,It went into an MSTS  installation which already has UK Finescale installed.Easy to install,runs beautifully.

That sounds good.
