RSC Exeter - Paignton Route

Fix for Exeter Corrugated Roof in winter
Make the following directory
..\RailWorks\Assets\RSC\RivieraLine\Stations\Textures
Download this file
http://rapidshare.com/share/CE2C5FBDFC8 ... 6C53A150D9
(its just a texture)
and place in the directory you just made.

Enjoy.

If you wanted, you could add some snow to that texture to make it more wintry.

Can't see what all the fuss is about - you're not going to need Winter textures for Exeter because it just doesn't snow there..
Well it didn't this year..

Graham, you have reminded me. Here is the reply I have had from DTG:

Thank you for contacting the dovetailgames.com customer support, your inquiry has been logged with a
member of our dedicated customer support team.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, I have raised the issue with the route teams.

An automatic update will be released on steam as soon as it is available.

Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Cheers,

Richard

PS: I will be on the case with the BZ 37/4 soon, those ECC wagons I have already done.

I was trying out one of DPSimulation's scenarios for this route, driving a Class 43 at night. However, I found that the signals had really poor visibility - such that I couldn't see them until just before the signal (after going over the AWS magnet). I have driven many routes at night and not encountered this problem before (normally you can see them from a fair distance at night). The sky is meant to be clear, so I cannot understand why the signals have such poor visibility at night. Can anyone advise why this might be? I have the AP Lighting Effects Enhancement pack installed.

The weather in that scenario depicts a very foggy night. What you are seeing is correct. You will need to place your trust in the AWS, just like a real train driver does ,

I have looked through this thread and have not found what I am looking for, is there another thread please?
My problem is that the route is not showing in the game or even on RWtools.
If there is another thread then I would be obliged. Many thanks

I have the assets in the RSC folder and the manual.

It uses the new .ap files for packaging. This is essentially the same as a zip file and there is a utility within RW Tools to unpack them. You need to do that for both the route and it's assets folder then it will show up in RW Tools.

Situation: running free roam

Departing Newton Abbot northbound the signal remains on red, then just beyond bridge, alongside the racecourse, the facing crossover is set to the down line.
I can't seem to alter this crossover to maintain a correct path for the Up train and hence am having to use the two successive crossovers to continue the journey to Teignmouth

Any thoughts please?

Thank you

You might be able to go in to the Editor and reset the point to be mainline then save the scenario.

I had done a scenario where I have an ECS following the service train in Scenario 3 - Newton Abbot - Exeter.
But on departure from the thru platform at Newton Abbot it crossed me to the Down and then back to the Up.

Hi Adrian,
I have experienced the same problem - the player train departed Platform 3 , was pathed for the Up main line, the 2d map confirmed this by showing the blue line on the Up main but at the last moment the dispatcher mysteriously sends me on to the Down line and then immediately back on to the Up line. No other trains in play.
From my experience with using editor with this route the signalling and pathing at Newton Abbot is a bit of a mess. Somethings you can do others that you would expect to be able to do are impossible. You can get the dispatcher to give you a path which is clearly shown using the 2D map as clear but a signal may stay firmly against you and no amount of tabbing will get you past without the emergency brakes being applied. I assume the problems to stem from lack of testing by the makers and that the makers used their own design tools and didn't consider how the game supplied editor would work for us mere customers. Because of the pace that development takes place and the commercial aspects of running a business I doubt if any more work will be done to correct the many snags this route has. Just look and read of the posts on reporting issues to RSC/DTG. Actions speak louder than words so go on DTG fix it up and maybe I'll have to eat my second hat in a week..
(Steps down from soap box - exits stage left...)

PS Still love the route though!

[rfletcher72]

Have you tried placing a marker on the up line between the crossovers and routing the train via that?

Cheers,

Richard

[Kernow2]

Ah Richard, Good shout and In this instance no, but having tried placing markers at Newton Abbot for the Log train running around a while back proved to be a total failure. The dispatcher wasn't having any of it in fact it seemed to tip him over the virtual edge with red commas appearing all over the timetable pages in editor and believe me I don't give in easily..
Now stop bothering me - I'm trying to have a look at your L2B scenario

Any budding scenario makers want to have a go at this one? A scene earlier today at EXD. As I write the loco's are simmering in the D.S.R.sidings at Paignton but as it's pouring with Devon sunshine I'm sat at home with tea and teacake
