It's not a problem, you are allowed to make activities with commercial stock you know. If you don't have it, substitute it.

Waterloo - BTM is quite a busy activity, you'll pass near enough 10 trains between waterloo and wimbledon, saying that if i can run it on mine im sure you can run it on yours, whats your system specs.

I did create this activity. the soecs on my machine are Pentium Celron 2.4Ghz, 256DDRram, 128mb pro savage graphics card i admit i stuttered along to waterloo at 2fps but it does increase passed Raynes park.

i am bloody suprised, you can run MSTS at all on 500Mhz you need a larger processor, SWT activities that i created where created how i was comfortable with which i thought was the slowest computer on UKTS but obviously im not the slowest machine on the site. My apologies but thats my activities for you.

ok, but does that explain the freezing

No, the amount of stock needed to be loaded into MSTS shouldn't freeze ur computer, it is another problem.....but i have no idea what! Its not the route because everyone can access it, do any other activities work? Or Explore Mode? If so then there is a problem with the activity you are trying to run.

Cheers

it's gotta be something and everything ran perfectly, so far you the only one with the problem. firstly

did you download everything in the readme

is your version of london to southampton v1.1 as this matters alot.

Try exploring with the AI traffic

Do you have trainstore.

Pompeyfan · Post by **Pompeyfan** » Mon May 30, 2005 5:54 am

got most things in the readme, substituedthings that i didn't have

v1.1

how do you explore with ai traffic

yes i have trainstore

salopiangrowler · Post by **salopiangrowler** » Mon May 30, 2005 5:33 pm

using trainstore whilst you have the explore mode window of trainstore up put the departure in as waterloo and the arrival as southampton at the activity start time then select traffic from activity, of which there is only AI (moving) in BTM.
