Ding Ding! Blackpool Tramways makes a return!

[Darpor]

I don't believe there is, this is the only thread. As it is released, I dont think there is anything to track progress of anyway.

Ok, thanks for youtr help.

Did anyone ever get to the bottom of the phantom buzzing of old Blackpool town?

(With apologies to Spike Milligan)

We probably need some new trams to raise interest in creating further scenarios. I'm not sure if Mike ever got his twin-cars up and running to a release state as I never saw them appear in the file library.

If memory serves me correctly the "buzzing" was an issue with one of the trams on some systems (not all), not sure if a fix was ever put out.

HI! your mod looks awesome! But i cant get it to run... I have railworks 3, and i have installed your tramway, and installed the blackpool balloon trams, but whenever i try to run the game, it loads but shows up with "broken consists". I have opened the editor and ticked the boxes for assets etc... but even though sometimes there is no more error when i click save, there is no tram on the map...

Can you help?

thanks

Not sure what to suggest. Have you cleared the blueprint cache after installing the route and trams?

Sometimes when I get 'broken consist' message I go in to editor, and select them and just move them a tiny amount, then save. Might be worth a try

I think there is a problem with the route because there lots of things missing, and there isnt a tram track either...

I suspect that might be it Paul!

I see your point Jimmy, but it's what sells to the wider audience that is a consideration here. The hardcore enthusiasts might want long accurately detailed routes and that includes myself, at least picking and choosing which ones to have a pop at. However a well conceived route with plenty of industry or scope for activities could be a hit for those simply wanting a bit of fun.

In music terms it's the difference between a 10 minute Pendragon epic with lots of guitar solos and furrowed brows, vs the 3 minute fluffy Abba track. Both have their followers!
