Brilliant!
Richard, can I just say that AP
really gets it. The website is slick and easy to use, the products are fabulous, download speeds are cracking, repeat downloads are hassle-free... many third party suppliers would do well to take a few pages, nay chapters!, from your book.
I agree completely! Purchased already, even though won't be able to use it for now. Thanks AP and Waggonz

Have just done part of the Bristol route scenario. Its very nice to drive sounds are brilliant as you would expect from AP. Loads of nice features including start up and destination blinds. Only thing that worries me is fps. I usually get very high fps on Bristol route 30-40, yet I have driven from Exeter to Tiverton loop and it was stuck on 14 all the way. Hopefully my pc just needs a defrag.

The demo video really sells this unit, having spent a few hours riding these up and down the Welsh Valleys a couple of weeks back and other areas, just had to get it, despite my promise not to buy anymore addons untilafter the upgrade !!!!
.
Just got to find time to install it now !!

Is there a lot of AI on the scenario? AP like to add a lot of AI to scenarios (assuming AP made the scenarios)

Correct seems to be on the B2E one. Apart from some minor drops runs perfectly fine for myself.

Any further reports on the fps issue? Is it a general problem or just confined to the one scenario?

Another problem is after resuming a saved scenario the engines are switched off. I was stopped at a loop so im not sure if this would happen when running.

It seems to be just that one scenario, the other Bristol - Exeter scenario and the scenarios on the other routes run fine.

The Railworks half baked saving, caused us a real headache. The same save when loaded three different times could have 3 different outcomes (engine state/cab switching), we finally got it to work and haven't had a problem at our end since.
Ive just tested it again on the B-E scenario where you start from a cold engine, switched everything on and switched cabs and then saved.
On loading everything was as I'd left it.
We will keep an eye out for other unforseeable niggles if they crop up.

A simply superb model at an absolute steal of a price.
I was just wandering, I remember from one of the video demo's a while back seeing an excellent passenger view - but there doesn't seem to be one included? Well, not on the Northern Rail one anyway and it's not mentioned in the feature list - any ideas? I'll be surprised if it's been omitted as it looked spot on

We left it out as it wasn't a real passenger view and it looked odd if you had a train full of passengers and then went into the passenger view to find it almost empty.
