New Spanish Route

[chrisreb]

I have downloaded the new Spanish route Madrid - Valencia from http://www.railsim.es/des_cat8.asp

Having tried to follow a translation of somewhat convoluted instructions the route loads and runs.

However all the assets are floating some way above the terrain. Has anyone else tried this route?

Works fine with me however I have to be careful as the route uses a lot of RAM.

Do you have your scenery detail set to 10, it's a common mishap and may solve your problems.

Hi - yes scenery detail set to 10.

Can you tell me what order you did things in.

I have downloaded all 4 files. Assets 1 and 2 seem to want to overwrite each other. Asset .rar file says another file unpacks it. What did you do to get it running?

Thanks

Ok nevermind.

Manually copied over the route itself and tried again. This time it all looks normal!! Not sure what the supposed procedure is but I seem to have stumbled on it.

So far ran for about 20 mins at up to 300 kph on what is a brand new high speed line with a dedicated train aliased to Class 390 sounds. Quite a few tunnels but the landscape seems to reflect the semi arid nature of Southern Spain well. Quite demanding on high settings but is running fine. Only 3 freeroams supplied so far.

How did you manage to download the route ? I mean by that, did you have to register on the site ? Because every time I try to go to the download section of the website the D/L page comes up for a brief second and then it reverts back to the main page.

Each Assets.rar file is a part of a whole rar that's been split into 4 parts. You ahve to extract them all at the same time for them not to overwrite.

Yes, you have to be a member to download.

I managed to register and download the route file last night, but it took ages at 60-120 KB/sec (even though I have decent Broadband), trying the first asset file tonight but that is downloading at the same speed. Not sure if it is an overloaded server or just bandwidth to Spain. Looking forward to seeing what this mega route (by size at least) is like.

I found that I could only obtain one file at a time from the site, and while it was downloading it would not let be back into the site until finished. Never mind Ive got the files now.

I'd like to ask the Spanish developers, are they utilising WIN 7 64 bit computers to create their routes for all of those that have been released just recently, I have seen the Germans have added words to their website advising everyone that some of their routes with high detail won't run with anything less than 4GB RAM, is this the same for the Spaniards, as there doesn't seem to be any advice on any of their freeware websites, as such, and to take the time and effort to download and install everything on my WIN XP 32 bit machine and then find out I can't run the route would be very frustrating, I might even burst into tears.......

Cheerz. Transport Steve.
