Very odd. That only happened once for me the 3 times I ran through it.

Did you have a hard time getting up to 65mph during that last stretch? It's like a brake is stuck or something. Again, I must note, my brakes were fully released, and no dynamics either.

I hit 65 only a mile before I had to reduce my speed again. I never recall the F7 with a B unit and only a few coaches struggling that much. I also couldn't accelerate past 29mph on that initial incline at the beginning full throttle.

I'll play again tonight and see what's up.

Appreciate it. Quite possible I did something myself while checking out what was updated etc.

A fix for a crash when extracting external terrain height data in the editor has been sent to steam, should update later.

Check if you had the handbrake on. :wink:

I had that too, and it turns out the handbrake was on, unknowingly.

The fix is out on steam and is v110.8b , Don't know if it fixed the crash problem but I did notice that now the top score window shows the top 50 scores ( I think ) instead of just 10.

Yes is fixed... except the old SRTM-1 problem :D

With the latest update (.7 or .8 is the same) i have a ""funny"" bug with the BP editor:
i have lost the "+" to expand the tree under the "loco/train brake assembly" part of the simulation BP. :D

This with window 7 64bit.. instead with XP, same patch, same BP, i see the "+"...

As the other thread about Career Mode appears to have been locked, will duplicate/confirm here that I have encountered the sticking brakes while driving the Hagen career scenario. Maximum speed under power 113 km/h with rapid loss of forward momentum when power shut off and poor acceleration from a stand.

F5 shows 0.7 bar remaining in brake cylinder (should be zero) with only 4.8 in the train pipe (should be 5.0).

I have the same. I sent an error report to support 1,5 month ago, and the wrote it's a known bug on win7 64bit, and they goint to fix it in the next release... but they didn't...
My top wishes: Realistic engine physics - Superelevation - Multi-core support - Remove Physix engine, and use better one

Hi,
yes it is a pain the blueprint editor bug in win 7, Adam wants it fixed asap thats for sure.
I have not seen the mail sent to you sanyix but it's more likely the reply said it was to be fixed in a 'future' release as apposed to the 'next' release.
Only bugs that are fixed or on our A bug list generally get a definitive response.
So if it did say next release I apologise.

However, it is something we are very aware of.

regards

Derek

hi
I cant even get my blueprint editor to load, ever since just before German Update, It hasn't worked.
Every time I try to load it, it appears in my taskbar, but it doesnt load up. When I click on it in the task bar I get this error

Its very annoying, especially seeing as I really need to use it.

Edward

Hi

I can confirm that the 'T' crash has been fixed. I have just created a new route without any problems and raised the terrain.

I wish I could help you Edward but I do not know why you are getting that message.

Talking of blueprints, there seems to be an extra section in the route blueprint for 'Maps'. I have left this empty, and it did not seem to make any difference, but what is it for :-?

That's been there since the last update at least Geoff - caused me some confusion last time I set a route up as I kept putting the weather references in that field :-?

It is some time since I created a new route this way. Mr Siddle has been keeping me busy creating terrain textures over the last few weeks :D

My route template tutorial shows a different blueprint layout so I will have to try and get some new images up.
