Cannock Chase Intermittent Versions - Where ???

Post by ka959 »

Could someone please offer an explanation for the missing "between" versions of Cannock Chase (2 & 3) ?

I downloaded the Version 1 yesterday, and would like to upgrade it to version 4, which is in the download library, but I think it's only an upgrade from Version 3, and if this is the case, I then need Version 3, but where is it, actually ? (And possibly Version 2 as well ?)

Don't tell me this is another Community CD version, and thus "forcing" us to get that CD first ? If folks prefer to download a route, even if it is a big one, at the non-Premium download speeds, rather than buy the CD, that should be their choice, most definitely, and therefore the route should be available on the file library for all to download, rather than taking it off.

If I'm wrong here, then could someone please clue me in as to the actual story, thanks ? Cheers.

The V4 patches were released to upgrade those who had bought the V3 CD so they didn't need to buy the new one.

There was never a V3 download, at least not that I can recall.

The Cannock Chase 4 CD unfortunately was hit by the permissions withdrawals in January and is thus unfortunately not currently available in any form.

We're hoping it'll be returned soon, I think most of the affected scenery and stock has been replaced, the author has simply been busy preparing his other route Burton Derby 1950's Version 2 - that's now with us for testing so presumably after a break from MSTS he'll be able to take a quick look at Cannock and see if it can be repaired.

That explains it I guess. Thanks for the kind words, Matt. Will just have to sit tight and wait now, I suppose. And while I think of it, I tried to download the CC v3 map on the file library, but the GetRight download window came up, and the download would not start, despite my waiting for it to do so for several minutes. Worth a check maybe ? Thanks. Cheers.
