On the subject of graphic cards overheating, rarely is the stock cooling up to the job after a few weeks of use. I use zalman coolers on my 4850's costing an extra £35 per card and the temps don't climb above 50c. Using the stock coolers the temps would be in the high 70's and after a few weeks of u...

Well whatever the figures I think that the situation regarding steam can be turned around if some free scenarios for those addons started turning up. If each of these addons offered a few hours of out of the box activity I don't think the price would be perceived badly at all. Theres quite a lot tha...

Thats a pretty good frame rate if you have it all turned up to max out quality for the oxford to paddington route with a steamer.

Hi Dean, I am not really a nvidia man but if I have to install new ati drivers I have to use a utility called driver cleaner to get rid of all traces of the old drivers. See if theres a an uninstall tool on the nvidia website. Other than that tyry turning all settings down and see what the max FPS i...

Hi John, my first choice would be to buy any DLC through steam because I think this route would make revenue available to RSC to develop it. But like many others I am disappointed, not so much with the cost of the newly developed DLC, but it's lack of content. I have bought all the older re-issued c...

Open CCC and look at the hardware screen see if it says PCIE x16 next to it and you can forget the bios if it does. Open the comp and press the back of the card down into the slot to ensure it's seated properly. There should be catch on the back of the slot if it's engaged your all good. Regards Wil...

I believe you can knock £8 off that 23 Rik, as I have read that it does not include the 3DT hi res pack but the low res free one. The thread I mentioned in the previous post has got up to 5400 views since yesterday so it's causing quite a stir on steam. You know I don't much about business but if I ...

Stay cool Dean, you may be overdoing the AA, try setting to 4xAA with a wide tent filter. Check that the PCIE slot is set for 16x in the bios and that the card is seated properly. I have seen these cards work if they are not quite pushed home but you wont get the 16x slot it'll only be 4x. I presume...

HI, well yes I must have mis-understood his comments. I am glad to hear he is getting his reward for his efforts. His sales from his allaboard page must have risen a lot since the publication on steam. The folks on the steam forum have either purchased it now directly from him, and one or two are de...

I have just been reading a post by Richard Garber the author of R&C. Amazingly he has been neither credited nor paid for his work. He says he is ok with it, which is even more amazing. You can see his post on railworks america.

Just for your info guys if you are considering a bigger monitor HANNS-G do a 28inch 1920x1200 monitor that can be had for around £250. I got one not long ago and for the price it cant be faulted.

Well I for one would really like to see this implemented. I find the night time scenarios really suffer from the lack of it. I know this is an old graphics engine in RW but this was a feature of MSTS in 2001. I cant understand why it was never implemented originally and it's been long long long over...

Theres wouldn't think there is a comparability issue I have just been reading on the steam forum that several people have downloaded it from allaboard and installed it with no problems. It may be best to buy from JT anyway because for the couple of pounds extra you get some support. If you buy it fr...

Hi Simon, yes I was confused, then I understood, but now I'm confused again. It's mentioned in the R&C thread that the JT version is different from the steam version and £5 cheaper, if I buy it from allaboard it's only $15. So my interest is price versus content and quality, how do I decide which on...

So I wonder what exactly are the differences between the one available for $15 from allaboard, the one available from JT for £14.66, and the one available through Steam from RSC presumably for £19.99? Which of these, given that they are different, represents the best value for me the punter? Just to...
