The signal arm is mounted on a footbridge which you aren't seeing - maybe you need to Scenery Density level up a tad?

There has been a patch issued for The Cambridge Lines which has resolved the issues at St Ives for me.

Folks

Please make sure you've installed the patch (posted this morning). NB - the missing decals aren't relevant - they are station layout decals that have no effect on what you are seeing.

The 'invisible consist' issue is something that I've sometimes seen in the scenario editor but never in the game itself - does sound like an 'overload' issue - though my (not very powerful) system seems to run it reasonably.

To '..Kitty' - yes - you aren't seeing the St Ives footbridge - I've just checked and it's only set to level 5 (the station building is only level 4) - so if you are running lower detail levels then you won't see them (which would be a shame). I have corrected in the edit for the next release - in the meantime if you can adjust your detail level without blowing your PC up then that should make them visible !

It may have more to do with how RW loads assets, Neil, than a capacity issue. I have had this with a scenario that came with the new Class 66, with two AI trains misbhaving. From in the cab nothing but couplings showed or the train suddenly appeared after it passed me but if I changed to a Shift+2 view they showed up as they should have. I use gadgets on my computers from Addgadgets.com to monitor my CPU and GPU if need be. In the Class 66 scenario neither of the graphics cards in my two computers - one AMD and one NVIDIA - were using much more than a quarter of the available memory.

This might not be the cause of everybodies sbhh's but by installing File ID : 24597 GC.Rod_04 by ikesmith (mike round) has cured the sbhh's for me. I'm not sure on this but i think the L.N.E.R O4 Rod (File ID : 30231) is an upgrade/update of the GC.Rod_04 and RWTools was reporting it missing in two scenarios, so i uninstalled the L.N.E.R O4 Rod (not sure if that was necessary) then installed the GC.Rod and reinstalled the L.N.E.R O4 Rod. It worked for me so i thought i'd throw it out there.

I have not got any missing stock reports just the Coals from Newcastle gives a SBHH everytime. Could be because it has masses of stock, Tried deleting about 20 static consists but no joy.

Anyway others load fine now and no doubt more scenarios will be forthcoming for this excellent route.

Same here. Coal from Newcastle crashes the sim every time I try to run it. Other scenarios run fine.

Great route, thanks very much.

I don't think it's the amount of stock. I'm sure we run much larger scenarios on other larger routes. And that scenario with a large amount of assets in Cambridge station works ok
on max settings.
I'll try that suggestion with ike's locos and see if that works. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks Donal - I suspect that you've put your finger on at least one of the SBHH problems. I had the original version of Mike's ROD and then upgraded (as I suspect my beta testers did too). So if folks want to follow your suggestion then it may help. Please let me know how you get on.

Keith - you may be right about the ghost train being an asset load issue - any ideas on how to mitigate it ?

Glad folks are (mostly) enjoying the route

Not really, Neil. I sent a note to RSC when I found it was a consistent issue on the then-new Class 66 but received their usual vague and non-committal response. The GPU gadget made it clear that the memory usage increased slightly when the AI train finally appeared but you're still taking of a maximum around 650Mb out of 2Gb of dedicated GPU RAM so it isn't exactly short of space. It wasn't just my experience, either. Other users were reporting the same issue at the time. Nor was it one livery that didn't show. I can't remember if the trains involved used two or three liveries but it was more than one so it isn't an issue with a particular set of textures or the way they're built. The same liveries show up elsewhere in that scenario.

The one thing that it might be (though I don't have your route installed so can't compare) is that two AI trains pass the player within a short time but, thinking about it, there's another example on a scenario on the GW Main Line. I can't remember which this is but the player begins standing on a platform waiting to replace the driver who's brought the train thus far. During the wait, an HST runs into the adjacent platform but shows only as couplings. When it stops the train pops into view and stays in view while it loads passengers and departs.

To sum up, I know nuffin, Guv! :wink:

Out of interest, what size is your Kuju folder? This was an issue for me with that scenario in beta testing and was due to size of my kuju folder.

I tested Coals from Newcastle with the original and updated player loco. Same problem.
I've let the scenario run itself (-followaitrain) various times and for me it crashes on the uphill straight after Histon.
Yes my Kuju folder is pretty large. I'll try installing the route on a smaller Assets/Content folder later.Might make a difference but it's strange that just that one scenario causes problems.

Afternoon everyone,

I'm so far enjoting the route, having created a Free-Roam scenario from my local station, St. Ives.
I do however find the station signage to be somewhat too modern in style for the British Railways era modelled, and have started to change the typeface to Gill Sans.

If the route creators are agreeable, how, what and where should I upload the altered files to?

Very Best Wishes,
Bob.
