Re: RW2 : The Unhappy Thread

Not happy with the update at all. Still trying to fix it, as a "beginner", it's not so easy to fix. Playing with F4 reminds me of my young days with tonka truck toys..... :-?

Re: Railworks 2: Train Simulator

Have to agree, new F4 is terrible, was on messenger to my Dad (71) says his game looks all arcadey now! He wants the old F4 back too. Every few seconds pressing F4 to get rid of the controls then F3 to see how far to the next station, then F4 again to see your throttle or brake setting, F4 again to ...

Re: Railworks 2: Train Simulator

...I’m not really liking the new F4 but I will have to drive with it anyway due to the fact that you can’t see any controls in the loco’s. However, I really hate the idea of constantly closing F4 to view F3 etc.... It sounds like you're not adjusting the cab view so that you can see the controls. R...

Re: Railworks 2: Train Simulator

Can someone please give me feedback on the usage of F3 and F4 view together. From watching the promo video, the new in game views are supposed to appeal to people of less experience, a wider audience, younger people. Therefor, they will want to drive with the F3 view on to be able to see the speed l...

Re: Railworks 2: Train Simulator

Many scenario's now missing, my fav argyle line is gone :cry: F4 looks nice, but you can't see the tap meter in the class 86, digital amp reading display looks good but the analogue is better. F3 won't show at the same time as F4 New menu looks nice but, well, isn't really an update. I preferred the...

Re: Top End Computers i7 CPU DDR3

Unless you are ultra desperate to get RW2 running at max FPS, I would hold out for Sandybridge in a few months.

Re: Scenario Pack for the WCML - Armstrong Powerhouse

Is it just me or is £60 a bit over the top to get some of these nice addons up and running.

This looks great but I really can't bring myself to spend this much (on top of the WCML cost) to get 6 scenarios running....pity though. :cry:

Re: Best Performing PC on Railworks Competition!

I'm convinced now that the crashes I am getting are due to scenery/tile loading overwhelming my PC which judging by the many posts made by others recently is very underpowered. My rig is an off-the-shelf Packard Bell iExtreme, Intel Quad Core 2.4 processor, 3Gb Ram, Geforce GS9800S, 700 Gb HD, Vist...

Re: West Coast Mainline coming to Railworks

Hi Keith Just want to say thanks for the excellent WCML. It really is amazing. I live in Thankerton which is few miles just south of Carstairs south bound, the 2nd house to the right of the red phone box as you head south on the East side, just after Carstairs south bound, the accuracy of the villag...

Re: Best Performing PC on Railworks Competition!

You certainly don't need a super computer to get it running very smooth. My PC and my fathers PC run it perfect. My Dad's CD2 E8400 @3.6 GTX 470 8Gb RAM Win 7 64bit Frames are 60 in countrside, 40-50 in towns, detail set high as possible. My PC is the same but an i7 @ 3.8Ghz, frames stay at 60. usin...

Re: WCML North scenario failed to load

I am a Railworks noob. My PC isn't very old, I have Railworks installed, HST buffer pack, about 2 free scenarios from Steam and WCML. My Dad also just bought it and has the same problems. I wait and hope for an easy fix soon. Something like this should have been picked up by the beta testers though...

Re: Class 86 Problem

Very usefull video, everything is clear now, it's great fun to drive, nice sounds effects too and a nice horn. Will be driving this a lot as it's much more involving than some other loco's.

Re: WCML North scenario failed to load

Maybe something didn't install in the correct location?? I bought the buffer pack, I just started railworks, found the scenario "its snow go" and thought I would try that first.......same error as WCML! I'm really not sure what to try now? I'm not that familiar with steam, I have never tried to unis...

Re: WCML North scenario failed to load

Ok all, restart steam, Zane has kindly allowed us to bundle his HST buffer pack with WCML. Steam have done their bit and the extra files should come through. This should solve any scenario issues. keep me posted. best regards Derek Bought WCML, errors on most of the scenarios, a couple of scenarios...
