Well, my 14 year-old son thought it highly amusing, so I suppose there's that...
I too have scenario packs, however, mine came direct from Richard's own site,
http://www.armstrongpowerhouse.com so I've no idea whether those released in partnership with Just Trains are the same content or different? Richard?
For what it's worth, my roof-riders are now fixed, however, it's not due to any genius on my behalf. With Richard's assistance, an errant .bin file was replaced and things are now back to normal. The fault seems to have been of my making and even though I always back-up my content and assets prior to installing new stuff, I'd not spotted the problem until after a couple of iterations. Consequently, my backup was out of date.
Lesson learned.
The root cause of the problem appears to be (in my case) installation of FGW stock from a "stock pack" that had been enabled for use with Richard's alternate sound files (MTU sound pack, I believe) despite my not having purchased said sound files (don't know what I was thinking...).
I've been really enjoying the scenarios though (Paddington-Oxford); thanks for putting in the time that I never seem to have. I particularly enjoyed the Boris Johnston special.
I'd have to concur; really enjoyable scenarios. Richard has a real talent for this both in his understanding of the prototype and of this sim.
I must get that ridiculous default HST horn replaced. No doubt there's a realistic one available somewhere. The 47's is much better.
Whilst I have not (yet) had first-hand experience of it, Richard's HST sound packs proclaim to include a replacement horn sound...
Cheers, Rik.
runs nice now though, settling down for Christmas now mate? Tek it easy as they say in the Blackcountry
