East Coast Mainline scenarios

I don't quite understand why a choice of all the above files is available

Hi Keith,
You have there the class 43 power cars (1 & 6 , 6 being a -nd version which means there isn't a visible driver)
There are 2 livery versions of what I'm assuming to be Driving Van Trailers, so the physics have possibly been altered on these, once again with 'No Driver' versions.

Basically you've 3 different vehicle/livery variants, each as a driver and no driver version.

If version 5 works, I'd expect version 2 to work too as they'll both be calling the same model file (.GeoPcDx) with the only difference between the .bin files RW Tools detects is that the -nd one will have the child entries relating to the driver removed.

Hi gptech
For reasons best known to Oovee, files 1 & 6, don't have buffers !
Pretty sure file 2 had screen corruption but you've made me question that. I will recheck when I get home tonight & report up.

Had a hunch "nd" = no driver but didn't consider the physics may differ (not sure why if these things can be driven in both directions) but I see your reasoning:-why have 2 files in the first place.
Will have to try harder to spot the livery differences between ICS 1 & ICS 2

If the livery variations follow how the Virgin version I've seen looks, it'll be the size of the yellow end panels.

The livery versions do reflect the size of the warning panel as you suspect
Having delved into the bin files using RW_Tools (limit of comfort zone), I can see why you would think file 2 should have an un-corrupted screen but I rechecked & it is corrupted.
I put that issue aside & have continued with your tutorial but am now starting to suffer from attention disorder so am putting things aside for the evening & going to veg in front of the box for a while.
Will get back to you tomorrow with more "noob" questions if you are OK with that.;

Thanks
Keith
