Hi, i downloaded London - Southampton today and i downloaded v0.9 self installer, v1.1 self installer and both patches, i did exactly as the readme told me to with the self installers and patches. But when i started up London - Southampton in MSTS i get about 20 error messages on the loading screen telling me it failed to load this and that and when it finally loads all i get is the terrian so i have a floating train with no tracks or scenery and yes, i've also run the installme.bat file aswell. Can anyone help out as how to solve this problem?

Hi
I'm not sure...installed the route myself last weekend and it went smoothly.
Apart from the signals and missing platforms.

Most of the route has no scenery BTW.
Try starting in Southampton Central....as that has scenery.

Cheers
Jon

It still doesn't work for me, i pretty much get an error message for every shape in the shapes folder so again im left with no scenery, no track, nothing really apart from green terrian

Hi
Well I'm afraid,all I can suggest is you re-install....something somewhere has gone adrift.
You have got all the 6 default routes installed to copy from?

I agree Jon, this is likely to be an installation error, try re-installing the whole thing again.
Also, just a note, there are no patches, there is just v0.9 and v1.1, but one way is self-installers and the other is manual installation, so don't bother using both, either or.

Cheers

Think that may be 2 of what you are missing, not sure about the rest of them, but i thnk the brcontainer comes on the nwe2 cd, i think i have the same activities as you so i must have all the stock, so if you still have problems getting the rest let me know and maybe i can send you them.

ps just remembered the first group tram i think came when i downloaded the uk regional route so not sure its can be downloaded on its own

That is the LBE SWT 455. By the way, I'm working on a patch to make it driveable for LBE users.

cheers for the files but, the 455 apperntly has avirus so i can't download it, damm u hotmail. grrrrr. i manged to get it working by using another 455 and renamed it, i am also having a problem with the london-b.t.m. via soton, it loads up halfway and wants to close and send an error report.

These files don't have virii. it's just Hotmail being fussy.

SWT BTM via southampton uses pretty much the stock from SWT 1 & 2 so no problems there, as i lost everything a couple of months ago ive not got anything from them 3 files now so would thank those of you who can halp people with the file problems.


The trams are available as an individual download. cant remember the file id though sorry.

The 455 you have to buy the add pack for. I doubt you will get permission to upload a patch, and I would also doubt the legality of emailing it around.

I already got permission. Plus, you only need LBE for the SWT 455.
