Re: Getting it right once and for all

Hi Antony, From my own experience I would say definitely yes, once you have finished installing all the assets, routes and so forth that you want, then verify the cache via Steam and then make a second backup copy onto an external hard-drive. I copy the entire 'Steam' folder rather than just the Rai...

Re: Best way to distribute 3rd party stuff? Package manager?

Hi Jim, Many thanks for your wise words. I will just do the obvious thing and ask in future :oops: Chris, just a few thoughts - if your products will be payware and you're looking to some form of 'licensing' control, how about watermarking in some way, perhaps a similar approach to that used by Rail...

Re: Best way to distribute 3rd party stuff? Package manager?

Hi, Well, when it comes to routes, my personal preference would be for any installation method that doesn't insist you have some (or all) of the UKTS Freeware Packs on board before the installer will play ball. Wonderful though the Freeware Packs are, I'm willing to be that I'm not the only one who ...

Re: TS2012 Woodhead route released

Hmm. Having spent a goodly portion of the weekend trying various things, from adjusting display settings to a clean install to make sure there are no conflicts with third-party addons, I think I'm going to have to accept that Woodhead is simply a route too far for my middle-aged computer. To be fran...

Re: TS2012 Woodhead route released

So far I've experienced two lock-ups, one SBHH and one quite odd ' it just shut down totally with no lockup first or SBHH message either ', never seen that before, Not yet managed to run the entire length in free-roam mode despite numerous in-game saves... That said, my older system (which can only ...

Re: Clean Install - Essentials

These two facts are always worth bearing in mind: 1) External computer memory is cheap 2) Reinstalling Railworks from scratch is a time-consuming pain in the rear-end Time spent making cloned backup copies of your Railworks installation, cache-verified by Steam, particularly just before major update...

Re: WCML North 2012 Update

Also interesting to see kromatiskes point about getting to Motherwell on an older machine with only 2GB of RAM. This needs to be dissected in detail because in theory it should not be possible and there must be a clue in there somewhere. Admittedly I've only taken one run the entire length of the r...

Re: RW3 / TS2012 - Known issues and their current status.

2) With the new graphics technology turned off, rogue rotating shadows of wheel/axle sets under the Class 47 and HST - these shadows appear to be 'rotating' in an axis that is 90 degrees off what would be normal, if that makes any sense (you'd probably have to see it to understand fully what I mean...

Re: RW3 / TS2012 - Known issues and their current status.

I have noticed the following issues (I have no idea whether these are peculiar to my setup or whether anyone else has experienced them!): 1) Deltic cabview apparently pointing straight up at the sky, rendering this loco undriveable 2) With the new graphics technology turned off, rogue rotating shado...
