Great Eastern

[Astrovana]

So, i've returned after a couple of years break (girls etc. took priority lol) and i was wondering, my PC isn't uber fast, it's a celeron and its RAM is about 1.4Ghz, and i was wondering whether or not the above route would work or whether it would kill my pc.

I've got a Celeron 1.75 and it just about runs Great Eastern with the sliders turned down, and every thing back ground turned off and the internet turned off.

Hi,Welcome back. Your spec is as good as mine and I don't have any trouble. I run Trainstore and have the Bin Patch Loaded

Well worth the time installing and you will be amazed

what exactly does the msts bin do, cos i'm wary installing something that i'm unsure about?

[thegoonden]

The readme has details, but among other things.....

Improves the amount of memory MSTS uses
Improves how MSTS handles that memory
Fixes a few MS issues
Adds some new finctionality (eg, tha ability to switch cabs)
Improvies overall performance (in part due to the improved memory management)
Other Stuff (see readme)

It has been noted that the latest (or was it penultimate) version may break one or two things. While I do not believe I have encountered any of these problems, I have read of those who have, and they appear both minor and isolated.

PS, I believe there is an extra free pack of bin-only acts for great eastern (or was that LSE?)

Hi, Have a read at this, http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic.php?t=59227
The Bin as vastly improved every aspect of MSTS operating, It as
1.cut out the great White void that used to appear on some routes
2,allows cab swapping and operating in all Diesel/electric locos
3,improves frame rates
just to mention a few things, just have a read at the Bin forum,it is great.
