Cambrian Signals

[RobertM]

Dayglower gets the idea, it's about time someone understood want I'm on about.

Incase anyone missed it he said

'But there arn't any gantries!
The signals just float in mid-air!'

Eh-Eh... Calm down, Calm down.

Sorry.

But it is enoying because people are just saying that they were origanly going to be used and nothing about were I can find desent ones

The signals should certainly not float in mid-air, they are all on posts! A decision was made at the design stage not to use junction signals per se as at that time we were looking to put out Stage 2 which would add Shrewsbury to Machynlleth, at which point the signalling would have been completely re-worked. However the signals which are in use are all correctly and fully modelled. No one would be stupid enough to put out a commercial add pack with such a glaring error.

What detail level are you running at? If your display quality is at a lower setting it's possible the signal arms are displaying before the actual posts. Either that or there is a problem with your graphics card.

Ah, Vern, that's too bad. I didn't know about the Shrewsbury extension. That would have made a great route even greater.

Sorry to go off-topic.

Hi Vern,

No, the junction dolls are in there, because I scripted them: therefore they'll show as available in the RE if the basic .ref file is copied from the MSTS template folder. However, as we didn't use them, the gantries were stripped out. So, if the junction dolls are picked and placed in the RE, they'll certainly hang in midair. So, the answer is to download some suitable gantries, the GW ones should do, and place them under the dolls.

Will they do the Next add-ons pack of the Cambrain Route from Machynlleth to shrewsbusy? Then you can link the route on SVR2!
