Class 122 Problems

[sidsn]

Hello there

This week I have downloaded Jon Biltons recent release of a Class 122 Single Unit in 3 different liveries.

No problems with download or installation.However when I launch MSTS and attempt to drive any of the three models the reverser stubbernley stays at neutral thus rendering the models immobile. I have tried using other Ist generation DMU soundsets but the result is the same. This was also the case when I tried using another cab.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems? Being a recent release there may need to be issues ironed out

That apart I was particularly pleased that there is now a model of a 122 in green with yellow warning panels.

Cheers

Always read ALL the readmes. Even if you are an old hand MSTS can still bite you.

Good luck

Hello Doug

Yes you were right even after a number of years with MSTS problems DO arise if you skim over instructions!!!

Think my main error was not releasing the handbrake!!

Things worked fine with the supplied soundsets but I substituted V2 as you suggested as I feel this is a more realistic 1st Generation DMU sound.

Now things seem fine on all 3 models.

Many thanks for your help

Hi, Aiden,
No worries.
I do not think there is anyone on here that hasn't kicked themselves on at least one occasion.

On Jon's behalf enjoy the models.

Good luck

Hi Alec,

Good trick if you can do it.
There is a plus though .....The older you get the harder it gets to reach that far.

Good Luck

You're not wrong there, although the alternative blue tinge to the decor is not appreciated by SWMBO!
